Since it isn’t for anything except her viewing, just record it on your phone or a camera on a tripod, while playing it on the TV, and send it to her? Low tech and lower quality, but it will get the job done.

QuoteTiangou QuotergG Now if we can figure out where the derelict trailer park was filmed. It's not in the Wiki... But it's the Ponderosa Trailer Park in Griffin, Georgia. Ah, thanks. I was thinking it might be up north of the city, up near Cumming.

Quotetestcase "I am debating if I need to give her a rapid test when I get there." Other than cost, what would any downsides be? I have the tests, so not a cost issue. Just doing the test, not pleasant, as you know, and deciding how accurate I feel the results are, is the only thing.

Re: Fauci tests positive again for COVID45 - 4 days ago

I think I will be waiting a bit longer to go, unless she needs me specifically for something. Since she says to wait, I think that’s the way to go. I will try to get her to get a PCR test before I go, if I wait a full 14 days. That should show if there is any rebound.

Re: repairing worn laminate - 5 days ago

Get the white area as close to that beige background as you can, then use a couple of sharpies to put a few dots of the brown and black colors over the beige, to make it blend in. Just making the seam any of the actual colors will help it a lot. It is the fact that it is so much lighter that is making it stand out so much.
