I felt a little odd, but it allowed her to see my rash, make a good diagnosis, and get a prescription delivery to my pharmacy and a door front delivery from them. I don't use it with friends or church. I tried our church's zoom, but it was really not the worship I would attend, because I look like hell!Maureen Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499876353651763590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-23480445732462054962020-05-19T15:37:50.994-04:002020-05-19T15:37:50.994-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Maureen Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499876353651763590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-59047025584780330702020-05-19T00:24:37.812-04:002020-05-19T00:24:37.812-04:00Oh, the redwoods, so beautiful!

Y...I am so late, my life has been kind of off here. Yes, I Zoom, but luckily it limited to church and virtual choir rehearsal which isn't a rehearsal but a meet and greet and drink. I only turn the video on for choir, but I make sure my pile of books are behind my head as much as possible. My biggest problem is that I'm using my phone so I am holding it the whole time, trying not to juggle it too much. I've loaded Zoom into my Kindle but I still have to hold it and the volume isn't as good as my phone.<br /><br />Oh, wow, I just looked up. The sun starting to set and the is a splash of light highlighting some of the redwood boughs as the wind moves them up and down and back and forth. The rest of the boughs are dark and shadowed. It's pretty, what's a nice surprise, I like it.<br /><br />I go to the office and meetings are done through this Microsoft Team meeting thing, which is weird. I've only had to do one meeting but it was uncomfortable. Either you are listening by your speakers on your computer, you can type your comments or you are on the phone, listening. I work in a central room with cubicals, there is no privacy, so I was in the phone so others didn't have to listen to all the meeting just my side of the conversation.Deana Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093854261937772980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-15038153357101966872020-05-18T22:16:04.058-04:002020-05-18T22:16:04.058-04:00VERY Wise! xxxoVERY Wise! xxxoHank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630366214207785339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-73675281229837182512020-05-18T22:15:38.749-04:002020-05-18T22:15:38.749-04:00We don't, um, have a choice...xooxoWe don't, um, have a choice...xooxoHank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630366214207785339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-52909476401398248942020-05-18T22:14:30.847-04:002020-05-18T22:14:30.847-04:00Oh, yeah, we are avant garde.

I was hesitant to use Zoom until I started using Zoom with my yoga/pilates/ballet combo classes.<br /><br />And I have used Zoom for book events like the Conversations with Authors at Book Passage. Unfortunately the Zoom events with authors are NOT captioned for Deaf viewers.<br /><br />Mixed feelings about Zoom. For interactions with people, that may work. My teachers were worried that I would not be able to hear the talking during classes and luckily there is a chat feature where I can type in questions.<br /><br />For viewing only, I prefer You Tube because it is more likely to have English subtitles than Zoom.<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-20414542314465935252020-05-18T14:10:21.784-04:002020-05-18T14:10:21.784-04:00LOL, yeah, stashing the basket of laundry (especia...LOL, yeah, stashing the basket of laundry (especially if it was dirty!) was probably a good call.
