I wondered about that Darwin picture. Apparently his personal hygiene was less than perfect.
Heather: I have a ripper outer. Wouldn’t use it in my lady garden though. Just on legs and the odd facial sprout. 😂 I was growing my hair out, so that’s not a problem either.
I’ve been making masks from fabric. They have a pocket for a removable filter. I am thinking of joining a group sewing scrubs for care workers.
Terri If you have a pattern or at least the dimensions and basic instructions, my partner is very interested in how to make that mask.
This is the pattern I used.https://youtu.be/zz0YpY6VqVU

Julie - I just finished watching Season 1 of Virgin River. It was something pretty good, not a lot of drama and sirens but enough to make you know your not watching a Hallmark movie.
Another 4 episode that I just watched is called the life of Madame CJ walker, I can’t remember the exact title but it’s similar to above. It is about the First Female in America to become a self-made millionaire. It was an interesting show and killed a Sunday afternoon.
Beth - I wonder if Nashville and the music industry aren’t even bigger when this is said and done. I’ve been watching a lot of the live performances from living rooms and following several different groups on FB and it seems that music is helping millions mentally cope right now. It sure will be interesting to see how our world will change when we all get out the other end of this.
Kylia- sorry to read about your MIL.
Margaret- condolences to yourself, husband and family.

He's raised over £16m (nearly $20 million). He set out to raise $1200 for health care workers:

Thank you for your support.
I talked to her on the phone on Monday. They were going to be doing tuck pointing on her condo unit that week. They did try to take precautions but with her lungs problems I am wondering if that might have been a contributing factor. She was watering plants on Tuesday near the windows when it happened to her.
It just makes me stop and realize how important it is to appreciate everyday!Margaret

Did Cathy Friedrich’s To the Max DVD. I don’t think I’ll keep this one, too high intensity and too many times I found myself having to modify and they didn’t tell you how to modify. The plan for tomorrow is to do an extreme cardio DVD
Rebecca – I, for one, thought we were already friends on here. But I see we aren’t so I sent you a friend request
Bananas – I like the chocolate shop posting “in case of emergency”…lol I’m so sorry you were sick. Please get better fast
I guess I ate at a fast food place about a year ago, and that was because I wanted to try the Impossible Burger at BK. Before then, it’d probably been years except for Subway
Kylia – what horrible news!
Barbara – that’s why I try to take my car in for an oil change either early in the a.m. shortly after they open or right after they get back from lunch. I’ve gotten to where I now keep a soap box (the kind you use for travel) in my car with some wipes in it for use when I buy gas. Most gas stations have a garbage can so I just toss it right before I get back in the car.
I remember a while ago Vince was working on a project in Puerto Rico. This was when he worked for Mars. Well, the sales of Pedigree pet food were thru the roof. Way beyond Mars’ expectations. They found that (yuk) people were making meatloaf out of the dogfood. I have a hard time believing we would do that in this country, but I guess you never know
I, too, thought “leveling the house next door” meant razing it to the ground
Making more yogurt right now. The milk is coming down to temp as I sit here
SuziQ – yes, Jess is over 18. She’s 36. See, now that Colby is here, it seems that she’s more pickey. Not sure why. He isn’t pickey. It seems they like to eat later. Last night they ate at 9pm. Before, she didn’t have a problem eating with us. If I ate that late, there is no way I could go to sleep, but I guess it’s an “oh to be young again” thing. I guess I was just feeling down. She did make them a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. I like to use Amazon for their reviews, and like you, then I look for something cheaper. The problem comes in that some stores don’t update their websites. Like we are looking for plastic totes. Everyone at Target says “out of stock”. I just can’t believe they are out of stock of ALL the totes. Now they aren’t taking returns so Vince will have to go and look at them. Jess told me yesterday that she likes Ragu spaghetti sauce, not the stuff I get. Well, that’s just toughy beans. I will not spend the money on Ragu. If you don’t like what I have, you buy Ragu yourself. She came home “where I can eat for free”, I’m not about to drastically change my buying habits. If you don’t like it, don’t eat spaghetti. Problem solved. I don’t think I’ll buy any more spaghetti-o’s, either.
Going to have hamburgers tonight. I know Jess doesn’t like when the burger buns have been frozen, but that’s what she’s getting. I’m not going to tell her, but there is no way I’m going back to the store for fresh burger buns – no way in the world Update: she never said a word
Barbie – instead of smiling which you know people can’t see, you can always give someone a thumbs up
Unfortunately, we don’t have a Cosco near us. The closest is Sams. My issue is that they have such large quantities and a very limited variety. Plus, it seems that most things are heavily spiced. Had to go to the post office. I was cleaning and found some pictures. I have no idea who is in them so I sent them to my cousin – maybe she can figure it out. If not, it looks like into the garbage for them. Then stopped at Big Lots and got some totes and a new pillow for Lexi. Took a walk to Food Lion since my mandolin won’t slice the tomato for tonight so I had to do it myself, which means the slices are thicker. Also got some frozen peaches. What is it with frozen fruit? WM didn’t have ANY yesterday and FL had very little today.
My neighbor gave me a ride to Food Lion. She said she was on her way to her daughter’s. I must say that I’m a bit surprised. She’s the one whose hubby is in Afghanistan. Driving to see her daughter isn’t exactly necessary driving. I’m seeing more and more cars on the road.
Amber – lovely garden
Margaret – my deepest condolences

It sounds like all on the list involve speaking or exchanging with others you. Is that accurate? I think you said you are introvert. Have you always been? Has that evolved in some ways? Liking more of this or less of that? Yes it's can be so long to find a vaccine if they find one: 30 years for polio is long.
I have always been an introvert ... and so have my parents.
I've always liked doing things individually or in very small groups of family or close friends:
-- cycling
-- hiking
-- running
-- walking
-- cross country skiing
-- snowshoeing
-- canoeing
-- swimming
-- reading
-- computer stuff
For entertainment, I like going to plays and the symphony ... places where I can sit back and watch without interacting.
And travelling. But I tend to like going remote places during the shoulder season or off season.
I find crowds stressful and I find interacting with people stressful and I find having to be somewhere at a certain time to interact with people very stressful.
While I love learning, and would love to continue to attend university, their teaching methods have really put me off. I learn best if I can attend a lecture (or listen to it at home), and do my own work. I find it very difficult to work with a group and I spend more time just being frustrated than actually learning. I also have to give up my standards and just go with whatever rubbish the group is going to put together and that maddens me to tears sometimes.
For example, I just got back the feedback for one my group assignments. The feedback points out my sections as being done well and points out the other sections as lacking this and that. I knew that when I submitted it. I tried and tried to explain it to my group members but they wouldn't listen. So now I'll likely get a low mark because my section was only 1/4 of the assignment.
It's not fair. I know life isn't fair, but I'm dealing with enough of life's unfairness with my husband's situation, I don't need to "learn" it by getting crappy marks on my assignments.
Fortunately, I am almost finished university and if I do decide to continue with more education at some point, it will be on my own terms. And fortunately COVID-19 stepped in and made a significant improvement to the way the two courses I'm taking right now are being taught!! I am really hoping it's still around for semester 2!!
