    Annie- he sounds so nice! Maybe you can text or Skype together .

    I like my name too lol but think my Aunts name doesn’t fit her. Every Carolyn I meet is so nice but not her. She needs one of those names you’d expect so you see her hate coming. Like “Diabla “ or “Beast” or “Crow” or “Cruella Devil”

    (((Rita))): I am so sorry for the situation you are facing. This is stressful for everyone. One of my fellow yoga students flew to AZ when the news of the virus came out. I have no idea when he and his wife will return. :noway:

    Amber: Stores here have plenty of food, so far. They do not have plenty of tp. Nobody has gloves or facemasks. :ohwell:


    According to Oregon .gov: “Test results for Persons Under Investigation: Positive 36, Negative 420, Pending 225, total PUI (a person with symptoms but not necessarily the virus) 681. There is a list by county for positive cases.”

    Our county is NOT on the list with current cases. That is GOOD news for local friends, DH & me.

    Katla—feeling lucky today

    What I saw since this started (My state was one of the firsts to get this stuff).

    1. Folks in denial Buisness as usual no gloves to masks cleaning .Folks ignores everything then bam mall lady !
    2. Mayor to Govenor come to town makes announcements to changes
    3. Folks stay indoors a lot grocery stores are fine .No masks fast 💨
    4. Less folks out .Less at grocery store but still lots
    5. Woke up aliens spaceships 👽 beamed the TP up!
    6. Pirates ships landed all paper goods poofed! No masks still
    7. Everyone under a rock came out bam 💥 can foods to pastas gone.
    8. 2 hour driving to find stuff but foods still there somewhat.
    9. Poof * meat to milk 🥛 gone even eggs 🥚. I blame them baking ghosts 👻 ! They think it’s Halloween already!
    10. Still has a ton of Easter candy to baskets none bought lol 😂. Odd but Easter candy must be poisonous ☠️.

    Hoping the craze for over shopping let’s up. We gave lots of our supplies to our older relatives.So poor hubby has to get it all over again tomorrow. Except for the diapers he told his siblings start driving! Where he went.
    I check the apps availability before he goes no need to hit the one store with nothing first. Morning here restocked best they can in the night by lunch gone. Dinner that last shopper grabbing some odd or end that’s left with poor workers looking like “WHEN IS BLACK FRIDAY GOING TO END!! “

    At least will have stories to tell the youngest generation so we can not be believed lol 😂 but passes the time. Hubby admitted to wrestling a roll of tp out of a big burly woman who had arms full was trying to take his as a guy climbed on him to grab one in the middle of the pile (Hubby a big strong 💪 guy he got the guy to his destination). He said it was as if the gal was a giant squirrel 🐿 she kept grabbing it was going somewhere on her.

    Tina CA – I bought extra milk. I figure I’ll make yogurt and put it in the freezer! Thank goodness for the freezer!

    I never thought of bleach. We have a few bottles, keep it for use for the pool

    I don’t mind the restaurants being closed. But the bars…..now THAT’S a different story

    Amber – I was basically raised by my grandmother who raised her children during the depression. A while ago I read a book called “200 Ways to Save the Earth” and I couldn’t help constantly saying “my grandmother did this. My grandmother did that”

    Surprisingly, the gal from senior bowling hasn’t called to say that it’s cancelled. I would have thought if anyone cancelled, they would. Oh well…we’re tough…..

    So here's what I'm working on at home ...

    My first assignment for one of my classes asks us to clarify the definitions of 'utopian' and 'dystopian' and use them to describe the impacts of social media on humanity.

    We have to use research to do this, all appropriately cited of course so I won't be using any of your comments ... but particularly in light of current issues, what are your thoughts?

    Does social media have a 'utopian' impact on humanity or a 'dystopian' impact?



    I may present the topic of my second assignment on Monday. :grin:

    Machka in Oz

    Based on current social media output? Dystopian!

    Thank you Machka!
    Looks like sneezing isn't a symptom even though that's the rumor going around here "sneeze into your elbow" and "stay away from sneezing people", lol. I double checked with online info from our state DOH which matches your list from WHO. :)

    Update... Just found an other document on our DOH website that says "cover your sneezes" leading people -me - to believe sneezing is a symptom. I will be making some calls tomorrow.

    Lanette (who sneezes and sniffles thanks to allergies and doesn't want to get banned from Walmart, lol.)

    For a good laugh. My favorite part of this video the millennial Father spraying his son down with Clorox bleach spray as he leaves his high school. Lol 😂 poor kid. If this is your grandkid...rescue him from his Dad lol 😂. Be careful they’ll hunt us down with spray next too lol cause we went to our Domino train group lol 😂. (I miss my dominos train group we were a rowdy bunch of Gals but no kids allowed I can’t leave JR).

    Finished assignment. Heading into town by bus. Was going to drive but when we drove in yesterday to look for free parking opportunities the van started acting up so we took it to the shop before catching the bus.

    I've dropped some weight in the last few days but I think that's just stress. Work, university, van problems, dental problems.

    I don't eat when I'm stressed.

    Hubby got lucky. Since family members couldn’t find food were older more kids we gave them almost all our food. Hubby went to the store the workers searched y him he managed to get enough for a few weeks again. Opened boxes y crushed they took scraps on the deli cutting board tossed it in packaging so I can make bone broth soups. So kind of them! Luckily the few items that are Picky JRs favs no one touched lol 😂. They taste that bad but he lives them got 8 each of those. A few loads of bread for sandwiches 🥪. We can rest knowing the whole family has a few weeks worth to a months for the elderly ones.

    Goodnight tired Hubby y me are exhausted 😩
