People who gather in small groups online, in Zoom calls, to get support and friendship. There is supervisor who helps them learn how to do the Zoom calls and is also there for each gathering. There is a commonality to the groups; in some cases everyone is a senior citizen. or maybe all female.
She wasn't sure how she'd like being on online meetings with people she had never met; but she kept working with the supervisor to learn how to do it. Would they like each other? After several meetings, she looked forward to her weekly meetings with them. They had bonded, and Online Zoomies seemed a fun & pleasant name for them.
A photo taken through raindrops or a downpour of rain on glass (usually a vehicle window, but could be a household window or shower door). Often I would see a pretty scene, and the only way to try the shot would be through the rained on windshield of my truck. I got some very unique and painterly looking images. The rain would never fall exactly in that amount, speed or direction in between me and that scene ever again. Instead of cursing the rain for ruining my desired shot, I came to enjoy the effect. Many of my photos taken through rain on glass looked like paintings, but they weren't. I coined the word rainting.
It was far from an ordinary looking photo with its flowing look, but it was straight out of the camera. She photographed the rain on her windshield as it was actively painting the pink cherry trees on the Court House Lawn beyond. The look was so artistic, shiny and fluid that is was as if the rain were doing a painting of the scene; a rainting was born. She merely photographed it.

Van Gogh did paintings that were remarkably mysterious, artistic, compelling, unique and fascinating. He is World famous. Today there are photos taken with many different types of cameras that the photographer can run through photo programs that do some interesting Van Gogh like techniques. Also there are Raintings (see right here on Urban Dictionary for their definition) that don't use a photo program, only rain water or drops on a windshield between the camera and the subject. It would be a dishonor to say these artful photos are Van Gogh's, but they are artistic.
Van Goghtographs never purport to be like a Van Gogh painting nor to actually be a Van Gogh. They might make their viewers mindful of Van Gogh, and contain influence from his works, but Van Gogh is attached to the word photograph in a playful way, not to cheat nor forge, but to pay respect & homage to a famous artist.
Commotioned means being in a confused, depressed and rattled state from having so much and too much commotion going on.
With housing problems; upcoming surgery problems; grown children problems; aging; inordinate amount of fraudulent and spam phone calls; Covid-19; she was Commotioned to the point of being unsure which situation to tackle first.
Felony Cute is an expression I coined meaning so unbearably and overwhelmingly cute that it should be a crime for a dog or cat to have that much power over us. I mean, you know, making us get a goofy grin on our face, get weak in the knees, and talk baby talk.
The little Golden Retriever puppy was not just cute; I mean after all, they all are. He was *felony cute* making me have a big goofy grin, weakening my knees, and forcing a stream of baby talk from my mouth. It should be a serious crime, perhaps even a felony, for a cute puppy to render me helpless.

SIC & SNIC
SIC is Solarized in Camera and Refers to a choice that could only be made in a Sony Mavica Camera.
SNIC is Solarized Not in Camera and Refers not to any specific camera at all, but to using a photo processing/enhancing program that has a choice of a solarized.
SIC & SNIC both refer to Solarization but the results on the images are entirely different.
Since they both used the word solarized, I was surprised how completely different my photo results with SIC were from SNIC
