This time, I used a small desktop tripod to hold the phone. 

Thanks that is exactly what i needed to know. I have a small tripod for iPhone and will do the same thing. Thank you Bob.

You will also need to scan the QR code on the kit at the start of the test,

Sorry another question. Is this the QR code on the front of the box or the QR code that is on the front of the test card?

Had a few friends stop by last night.  They were up for a group photo !

I can't remember who suggested it, but "Episodes" on Netflix with Matt LeBlanc is hilarious. Great TV. Thank you to whoever posted it.

@Jimbo Love those beautiful creatures.

I am trying to figure out what this is growing out of the compost pile.  My daughter is going to use them for fall decorating.

We both just successfully completed our Covid tests for our Allure cruise on Sunday.  Both negative!  Time to start packing.  If only we were allowed to take a wine filled broom closet with us.

Great news, Bob!!!!  

 

I found out yesterday I don't need to take the Covid test for my colonoscopy, since I've been vaccinated.  Yay me.😁
 

[DaniDanielle]

Yay Lenny!

[Luckynana]

What wonderful news, Lenny!  You must be feeling such enormous relief!

I think they may be gourds??

My guess as well.   Or...they had some pumpkin seeds in their compost waste they added...they grew wild, but the Pumpkins were not up to speed for Charlie Brown's "The Great Pumpkin".  😉

Nobody mentioned a COVID test for mine  plus endoscopy. No one asked if I’ve been vaccinated, either!

But I have to have one before my pulmonologist visit and breathing test in November.

So great to hear that Lenny.  I hope she has a swift recovery, whatever that involves.

You need to scan the QR code on the front of the test card.  We never used the QR code on the box itself.  Don't open the box until the proctor tells you to.  He/she will also tell you to remove the test card from it's own sealed packet so that you can scan the QR code.

The only thing better than a negative Covid test is no Covid test at all.  Yay you!

Yeah, on one of the pages of instructions, it said a Covid test was needed, unless you had been vaccinated in the past 14 days;  I called just to make sure test wasn't needed, and they verified that I was good to go.  Jim will need a Covid test next Friday, since his knee surgery will be on the following Monday.

True story, Bob!  Have a great Cruise!  I want to cruise so badly, that if Jim wasn't having his knee surgery, I would've book a cruise out of Cape Liberty.

We received our Abbott test kit yesterday.  Took 2 days. Our current plan is to use this as a backup, the county has free drive up rapid test sites, one less than a mile from our home.  I drive by there a couple of times a day, and I never see a line at all, so if there are still there, we will use that.

Doesn't sound right to me.

[Luckynana]

I know.  I found it to be confusing the way it was written.  That's why I wound up calling.  When I said I had given the Office my vaccination card to be copied, he looked it up and said I was good to go.  So weird.

Excellent!     Now all the fun anticipation of your cruise can begin without having the concern of a test weighing upon you.      Will you keep us posted and send us some photos while on the Allure?
