  1. I love my FitBit! I really only use it for steps and mileage because I have two goals: 1) to get 10,000 steps a day and 2) to hike 15 miles a week. I do very well at getting the 10,000 steps a day, but the 15 miles a week is hard when the weather doesn't cooperate with me. I love how long the FitBit holds a charge and I even forget at times to charge it, but have only had it run out on me once since I've owned it. I think I might have had this for 3 or 4 years now?
  2. I don't like busy themes that are distracting or visually overwhelming. I think that the theme really needs to fit the niche of the forum. If it's a professional site, it should look sophisticated and not childish. If it's a fun site, it better exude fun! If a site is boring but has the information I want, I don't leave because it's boring. But if a site is way too busy visually, I just can't stand to stick around for long.
  3. Our dining room has never been a dining room to use. It used to be the room where the guinea pigs lived in when my daughter lived here with us. But now it's the beer fridge room and the music room. I have 2 music stands and I have my flute and penny whistle there with a LOT of sheet music!! I have a stand for my flute to sit on, but I only use it when I'm actually playing, and I keep the flute inside its case so it doesn't tarnish. The room doesn't really have the very best acoustics, and that area is probably the front entryway since we have a cathedral ceiling there.
  4. Last week we had hazardous levels for air quality, so I had to keep the windows closed and the air conditioning on. It was so nice and cool outside, so that's a shame we couldn't even go out hiking all week. I live in the eastern part of the US. I heard on the news that tonight we'll have some poor air quality once again, but I didn't catch the time that it's supposed to happen.
  5. I had two containers of zucchini plants last year and one plant gave me SO many veggies, but the other had some issues. I had drilled drainage holes in the bottom of both and I didn't realize that their root systems and gone out through the holes and down into the ground. When I went to move the containers to spray for bugs on the bushes nearby, I think I killed the roots for one of the containers. That's the one that didn't give me many veggies. I have some basil in a container now and it's near my back door. It's doing great so far!! I like that I can move it where I need it.
  6. I want more tech in the medical field. I think it's incredible when doctors learn the Da Vinci robot system for surgeries. Have you watched one? It's an absolute art!! I almost had a surgery done that way, but the surgeon wasn't advanced enough in her knowledge for my personal issue and I had to be cut open 😞 boo. I would have loved to have had the surgery and had a video of it. I'm weird like that. But back to the topic, I'd love for the sensor like they have on Star Trek to diagnose medical conditions. That would be a dream!
  7. Do you have surround sound in your home? We bought surround sound speakers that we put up around our family room at our former house, but at this new house, they're just sitting on the floor in front of the tv in the basement. We found that we didn't really care for the experience of having sounds behind our heads. Especially when we were watching Jurassic Park!! It was fun feeling the animals from the booming bass though on the floor.
  8. It's been a while since you wrote this post and I'm curious how it went? What were the pros and cons of the software? Was it intuitive or did you have to Google how to do most things (that's what I do with a lot of things)? I'm looking at some video software but don't know what to use.
  9. I love to learn!! I am so happy that I have the internet at my fingertips, because I'm constantly looking up things that I question and want to find answers to. I wish I had it when I was younger because I might have gotten more involved in the sciences and gone to a different school than art school, which I loved, it's just that I think I might have been drawn to a different career if I had easier access to more scientific studies than the library.
  10. I read the article you linked and it agreed that most masks weren't made to prevent respiratory illnesses. Did you read that part? The majority of the public for 3 years wear the mask that is most comfortable for them to breathe in and those are worthless, even your article agrees. Your article's focus was mainly the hospital setting for mask wearing, but the article I linked to concerned the public community setting. And it wasn't just one study but a set of numerous studies done in various conditions.
  11. The sources that said they protected from Covid were proven wrong though. And this isn't something new, before masks were mandated scientists said they wouldn't help or make a huge difference. It wasn't until Fauci changed his mind that others jumped on that bandwagon and then it was like a religion that needed to be adhered to or you were risking someone's life. That turned out to not be true.
  12. I can't find the song right now, but it was one I played while at work from The Creation by Haydn. It was a really powerful piece that put me into full work mode right away. I got so many projects started by listening to that song. I'm trying to find it on YouTube, but the videos I'm seeing are the wrong ones. Amazon has messed up my playlist so now I can't even click on the song to get the remainder of the title. It's from one of the Vienna Choir Boys albums.
  13. So, you're agreeing that masks are worthless since the virus gains entry elsewhere such as the eyeballs?
  14. I don't understand what you mean by a difference in how the mask has protection "whether wearing a mask protects you from other people: they did not address the separate, but equally important, question of whether it protects other people from you." If germs get through the fabric, it doesn't really matter which direction it's going in. That's what the studies are showing, the germs are getting through.
  15. What most people have known all along has once again been declared that Face Masks made Little to NO difference in preventing the spread of covid: Face masks made ‘little to no difference’ in preventing spread of COVID, scientific review finds (yahoo.com) What's surprising is that last year we were told that N95 and KN95 masks were the only ones to help prevent the spread, now even those are in the category of worthless. But people are still masking up. Why?
