Ahhhhh.....
She drives from the Danish side, in her Toyota Yaris.
He cycles from the German side, on his electric bike.
She brings the coffee and the table, he the chairs and the schnapps.
Then they sit down on either side of the border, a yard or two apart.
And that is how two octogenarian lovers have kept their romance alive despite the closure of the border that falls between his home in the very north of Germany and hers in the very south of Denmark.
Every day since the police shut the border to contain the virus, Karsten Tüchsen Hansen, an 89-year-old retired farmer, and Inga Rasmussen, an 85-year-old former caterer, have met at the Mollehusvej border crossing to chat, joke and drink, while maintaining a modicum of social distance.0 -
On another note, my vertigo is back. This is the fourth time in five years or more. The last time was last fall. My chiropractor was able to do the Epley maneuver on me. It’s meant to reposition the crystals in the inner ear. It took about 3 sessions and it was gone. In each incident, Epley worked for me. In present circumstances, I can’t see a doctor so I’m on my own. I looked up how to do the maneuver at home and tried it yesterday. I haven’t seem any effect yet but it usually takes several treatments. Thankfully, this is a milder bout. It kicks in when I roll over in bed. I find if I close my eyes and lie still, the dizziness passes. Of course, if I roll over again, the process repeats. I have to remind myself, this is small stuff compared to what the virus is doing to people.
Well daggone it!
Hopefully your efforts will succeed!!

Jean - I'm glad your cardiologist was satisfied! Here's hoping the arm pain stays at a dull roar for now.0

Pam - that Mona Lisa looks like me. Someone wanted me on a video conference tomorrow. I've NEVER done video conferences. I do NOT see the point when a phone conference will suffice (I work at home after all). And I'm SURE not starting now!0

But your cats have been educated. They’ve been listening to the scientists and not the orange cheeto.0

I love Caronalisa!! I have decided to let my hair go to whatever its natural color is; I think it will be shades of gray just like my mother's.
I have never done a video conference and I have no plans to do so.0 -
Maryanne, by the time the hair salons open again, your hair might be that long. I’ll probably trim my bangs for the second time next week. I didn’t do too bad the first time and they are starting to grow over my eyes again.0

I’ve done a couple of FaceTime happy hours and a Zoom birthday party recently, but I wouldn’t want to try to conduct business that way. Very difficult to hear everyone, especially if the group is more than a few people, plus distracting with each person getting highlighted when they speak, which makes the display constantly move around.0

There is SO much on the internet about everyone working at home and doing video conferences. I've worked at home 10 years and have never once done a video conference. I don't see what it adds. If anything, I think it's better when people just talk because then there's no bias pro or con based on looks.
I do sometimes work into the conversation that I've been doing this 40 years so they know I'm not a beginner.0 -

I made a quick run to the city yesterday to pick up an item from Lowes and more importantly a reuben and a salad from Arby's. I love their reubens and haven't had one in two months.
If you need hand sanitizer, a company in our state is selling it now. It is a 7.5oz size and is cheaper than many competitor but still higher than what sanitizer was in the good old days.

I ordered yesterday and they will be shipping today.

<whining mode on>I am already sick and tired of ordering groceries online. It's so time consuming. And expensive. And you can't check expiration dates or quality. If we weren't so swamped at work maybe it wouldn't be so bad. And as DH keeps saying we're the lucky ones. Of course his contribution to all this is saying things like "why is my head of lettuce so sparse?" or "I don't like this chicken salad." <whining mode off>
Below this box as I type is an ad for a bidet - the new alternative to toilet paper!0 -

DH has apparently been digging around in old pictures. The two of us around 1969:

Pam - that's so funny!
Although that's what it looks like when Sammy attacks Jack and Jack does NOT find it funny.0 -
You two were pretty cute. Your hair may be that long again by the time the salons open again. Unless you’re planning to drive to GA. But you may come back with more than a haircut.0

Maryanne, your DH looks a lot like a young Bobby Kennedy! Cute picture.0

I was just thinking I should order a couple scrunchies.
I'm thinking I'll be grey and straggly but maybe thin by the time the world emerges.
Of course DH has offered to cut my hair (he cuts his own hair) to which my reply is along the lines of no way,jose!
I feel bad for my hairdresser. She's 65. I know she has a mortgage. I know she has a mentally ill adult child for whom she's responsible. The ex is apparently a cop (retired cop?) but it doesn't sound like he's much help. Because they are treated as independent contractors, she may well get no unemployment.0 -
I just watched a clip of his highness suggesting scientists check out whether we could zap people from the ultra violet or other strong light because he thinks we can kill the virus from the inside out. Or if that doesn’t work, we can drink bleach or disinfectant cocktails for the same person. Dr Birx was sitting off to the side looking like she was biting her tongue not to comment on the latest birdbrained theory. Or maybe she was getting ready to explode. I’m sure this will all be on the nightly news and Stephen Colbert will have a field day with this.0

Lysol (at the urging of their risk management department) immediately put out a statement telling people NOT to drink their product.
You know, there is a congressional remedy for a president who's gone off the deep end, but it takes a cabinet with ethics/guts/something that we don't have.0 -
I talked to a (male) client today and I'm not sure how we got on the subject but he actually understood my frustrations with the ins and outs of online grocery ordering. He shared details. Wild!0
