Need a word for when you enter a zoom room all by yourself. Do I have the wrong room? Do I have the wrong time? Is Zoom down? Am I alone in the universe?
As mentioned, I made a mistake with my comment "buttons" and comments on this issue have diverted to an earlier issue's comment section. I won't do that again! Meanwhile I'm just porting over comments that are relevant to THIS issue. To wit:
Responding to this issue's Need A Word, Lost in Boston suggests:
ForeWarmed?
:)
And MrTmorpheus offers: "Frozenheart? Your heart is always warm but your body can be frozen. Sometimes you need an extern environment to know that it is you, you need to warm yourself."
Separately, Lost in Boston also had a (great!) response to the Number item:
Good Morning,
Greetings from "The Hub of the Universe" aka Boston.
My suggestion for the The Number Is... is make a numbered list of either 10 tasks, or 10 items to notice, thus creating your own little lottery.
When the Number is called, find the corresponding number on your list, and do that action.
Another from Mike Leffler: "How about a random number generator, but instead of numbers, it draws from a list of nouns or something. Probably have at least two random words drawn each time so that you get unusual pairings."
Continuing: Neil suggests: PreHeating? this is a function of some thermostats where it turns on the heat before programmed time to be at temperature X so that at that time it is already warmed up to X.
I made a mistake with my comment "buttons" and comments on this issue have diverted to an earlier issue's comment section :/ I'll figure out how to port those over, but as of now (1/26 late afternoon central USA time) your comments on this issue should appear below -- so if anybody still has any chime in LOL! Lesson learned this glitch won't happen again.

Oh I love this & I know that feeling
Warmticipation, or warmtici-pay-ay-tion if Carol King sings it :-)
LOL, nice!
Therminent? The warming knowledge that heat is imminent? (Though it’s hard to top forewarmed)
