Report today that all over 70's could be 'self isolated' for 4 months 'for our own good'!! Wonder if us that are happy to take the risk?! Wonder if they have factored in the cost to mental health services for all of us that go stir crazy looking at the same 4 walls for that long!

Ruby...you will be in my prayers. Know that we are thinking of you.

6:36 am

MollyL

For Ruby...
On the day when
the weight deadens
on your shoulders
and you stumble,
may the clay dance
to balance you.

And when your eyes
freeze behind
the grey window
and the ghost of loss
gets into you,
may a flock of colours,
indigo, red, green
and azure blue,
come to awaken in you
a meadow of delight.

When the canvas frays
in the currach of thought
and a stain of ocean
blackens beneath you,
may there come across the waters
a path of yellow moonlight
to bring you safely home.

May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.

And so may a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.

~"Bennacht" John O'Donohue

Trifioso

this would have been a good day for a 500 worder....

10:10 am

BzznBea

Good news, hurshy!

10:10 am

hurshy

yes but they are made by the computer years in advance

10:11 am

Trifioso

im manically checking my email every ten seconds - the school committee is currently holding an emergency meeting to vote on whether or not to pay us.

10:11 am

hurshy

well i cannot see in the least what the S word can be

10:11 am

BzznBea

Yes, I was disappointed at the size as well. We are going to have to have bigger grids if we are going to be successful at social distancing.

10:12 am

BzznBea

It is crazy that you have to worry about that too, Trif.

10:12 am

hurshy

well i've been working as a sub, so, i KNOW i don't get paid

10:12 am

Trifioso

hurshy :(

10:13 am

hokie carla

driveby hi guys. did all but 7 in the middle of the night and then just used the list. social distancing myself from the internet because I keep having panic attacks and anxiety. might check in tomorrow.

10:14 am

Trifioso

good plan, hokie. I plan to spend most of today off line and outside.

10:14 am

BzznBea

Get some fresh air and sunshine, Carla!

10:14 am

bichon

ty Bea

10:15 am

hokie carla

well, sunshine in short supply here, but the youngest & I are going to go mt. biking later today for the fresh air. should be able to finish a lot of sewing projects too!

10:15 am

BzznBea

We have clouds today, but I'm counting on those uv rays getting through the clouds. Heading out to play in the yard...

10:16 am

Trifioso

that is my plan for the rainy days ahead. I'm off for at least two weeks, so I am trying to be productive.

10:16 am

hokie carla

I keep waiting for it to rain on my freshly planted flowers but I think I'm going to have to break down and water them later.

10:17 am

hokie carla

mr. homie put new drip lines around but didn't get them operational before he left.

10:18 am

hurshy

can anyone help me with the S word?

10:18 am

Trifioso

still way too early to plant here.

10:18 am

MollyL

"Mr. Homie" ... I love spell check : D

10:19 am

hokie carla

there was a good clue overnight some time hurshy

10:19 am

hokie carla

well, that was intentional but due to spell check errors of the past

10:19 am

MollyL

Google search Indian cow Hursh, it comes right up

10:20 am

hurshy

well it did, but, oh dear

10:20 am

hurshy

the first thing that came up was that some hindus in india are drinking cow urine to try to ward off coronavirus

10:20 am

hokie carla

trifioso, I wanted to plant some lantana but couldn't find them. I wonder if it is too early for that here.

10:20 am

hurshy

i am guessing that that will not work

10:21 am

Trifioso

it did hurshy! found it right away. sa7.48

10:21 am

MollyL

sa + short for hello + first three of Beaver Cleaver's brother

10:21 am

jaxx7

Try a pakistani cow instead, Hursh

10:22 am

Trifioso

we dont really plant anything other than peas and lettuce until memorial day weekend.

10:22 am

hokie carla

I planted dianthus, dusty miller, some ground cover I had never seen (Grace Ward something?) and a rhododendron. will get some lantana to fill in between the ground cover and another rhododendron.

10:22 am

MollyL

It is in the little paragraph under the pictures that says Cows In India

10:23 am

Trifioso

the big "garden" news here is that we are adopting two goats. Met them yesterday - total sweethearts! Spending the next couple of days getting things ready for their arrival

10:23 am

hokie carla

in the deck beds, I planted 3 tomato plants and 3 strawberry plants (covered in netting but I'm sure the squirrels will still get), a basil and a romaine, though I think lettuce does better in the fall.

10:23 am

hokie carla

omg, love goats

10:23 am

Trifioso

still wrestling with names. They are both males. One is Leonardo Di Capricorn, the other we can't decide. It's down to Vincent Van Goat, Jeff Goatblum, or Tom Brady

10:24 am

hokie carla

LOL, I love punny names

10:24 am

hokie carla

I vote Jeff Goatblum, keep it on the actor theme

10:25 am

Trifioso

will record your vote!

10:25 am

hurshy

no i'm not saying the google search didn't work, i'm saying i think that drinking cow urine to ward off coronavirus will not work

10:26 am

MollyL

You think? Yet I bet people tried it.

10:26 am

hurshy

that's what i'm saying. a hindu group in india is trying it.

10:27 am

hokie carla

well, I guess if none of them get it we'll know

10:27 am

hurshy

no we won't!

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

hi hurhs, how are you feeling today?

10:28 am

MollyL

People in Iran are dying of alcohol poisoning after drinking tainted alcohol when it was rumored that alcohol kills corona virus.

10:28 am

hurshy

somewhat better and no fever TO thanks

10:28 am

hurshy

alcohol on your hands can kill germs but sigh

10:29 am

MollyL

I have to go to the liquor store later and I hope it is not crowded due to Pennsylvania announcing liquor store closings. It's going to get bad if people can't get their hands on liquor when they want it.

10:30 am

mkg

NIH worker has corona. first case. and my hubby wants to go to NIH tomorrow to work............doctors are the worst.

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

first case? MD C and VA have cluster cases

10:31 am

mkg

does anyone have E word top ro?

10:32 am

MollyL

I think she meant first case at NIH.

10:32 am

72 Temple Owl

molly, our state stores are closing Tuesday. soemone sent me a phto of the store in the neighboring town. the shelves look like the toilet paper aisle in Walmart.

10:32 am

therealblah

em 4/8

10:32 am

mkg

first NIH case.

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

our outbreak started froma DO who went right back to work after travel to egypyt AND saw pediatric patients until they rushed him to the hospital

10:33 am

MollyL

Stay home and isolated + no access to liquor is a recipe for disaster

10:33 am

therealblah

no idea how to clue it

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

well, ins ome stuations, staying home WITH liquor would be a recipe for disaster. thank gof we finally are able to get beer and wine in some groceries.

10:34 am

mkg

there is life without liquor......i never drink.

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

it's time to go. perhaps BBL. and perhaps even will open chat window.

10:34 am

mkg

the em 4 8: dont see it.

10:35 am

MollyL

I really hope this experience changes how people are allowed back into our country after travel to other countries. There should be some kind of medical screening. Although I guess people could test negative and still be carrying something.

10:35 am

therealblah

it's an odd word

10:35 am

mkg

got the em word. ty

10:35 am

mkg

how about S word? ty

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

YES!!! latest phila case is a kid back from college study abroad and right back into daily life.

10:36 am

MollyL

There is life without liquor. However there are people who are alcohol dependent. And if they can't get their hands on liquor, they are going to start doing unsavory things to get it.

10:36 am

therealblah

sa 7/48 ... google indian cow

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

my low risk exposure came from the sam sceanrio. person had to symptoms, right back into the daily grind.

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

alcohol is not evil. it's the way it is used. people can use it or not. those who do not are no better or worse than those who do.

10:38 am

mkg

i dont think it is evil but to believe you will die without it is what is wrong.

10:39 am

mkg

ty for cow clue. got it.

10:39 am

mkg

one last clue needed: E 5th column please. ty

10:40 am

mixi6

Make you own. 60% alcohol endin amount, plus aloe

10:59 am

Soodle

Paddies. On Paddies Day. With no pubs to go to????

11:00 am

rururocks

for some in Ireland it might be a good idea to cut back right now

11:00 am

sajarn

IF you can find alcohol...shortages there too, I understand

11:00 am

mixi6

Hand sanitizer is when you cannot find soap and water.

11:00 am

rururocks

i can't find alcohol here either.. we have been wiped out here

11:02 am

rururocks

li 5 is li + beginning of what wags on a dog

11:02 am

Soodle

My goodness Ru! Is that not a tad racist? Have you been to Ireland, or are you basing your statement in stereotyping?

11:02 am

rururocks

li 6 is like the light

11:03 am

rururocks

i haven't been to ireland. Scotland interests me more

11:05 am

LeslieAnn

ru, apologies for calling you an old fart yesterday but it was for the cause of a really good pun

11:05 am

Soodle

So, how have you formed the opinion that some people in Ireland should cut back?

11:05 am

MollyL

Ru are you talking about rubbing alcohol or liquor

11:06 am

Marian Todd

li6 like a light - sorry not very bright today - pardon the pun - could you elaborate please ru - thanks

11:06 am

rururocks

i'm talking about rubbing alcohol here molly.. the stores are wiped out completely

11:06 am

LeslieAnn

11:07 am

MollyL

11:07 am

11:07 am

Marian Todd

Got it thanks very much - all done and finished - bye

11:08 am

LeslieAnn

11:08 am

MollyL

11:09 am

schools here are shut down for 6 weeks

11:09 am

vashongin

no gatherings of more than 250 people.

11:09 am

LeslieAnn

six weeks seems like a lot!

11:09 am

Soodle

Glad you enjoyed the experience, Vash. I hope you encountered the occasional sober person on your travels through Ireland?

11:09 am

LeslieAnn

just 2 weeks here

11:10 am

vashongin

I found more sober ones than drunk

11:10 am

vashongin

I especially liked the city of Cahir

11:10 am

rururocks

all the wineries here (large ones) have limits or are closed to the public right now. everyone is a bit freaked out

11:10 am

Soodle

Ah! Tipperary. Nice spot.

11:12 am

vashongin

I just pickup up my wine early from our winery in case they closed, but they had plenty on hand and were open

11:12 am

rururocks

what's your winery Vash?

11:12 am

Our PM is talking about putting troops into stores to deter stockpiling. People have been opening boxes, taking what they want and throwing the rest on the floor. One old lady asked a man toting a huge pack of toilet rolls if she could buy two off him. he wouldn't agree. I am appalled at what the British have become.

11:13 am

LeslieAnn

oh yikes jaxx

11:14 am

That's terrible, Jaxx. The hoarding is so selfish.

11:15 am

rururocks

i agree.. there was some jerk down une's way that ran around and bought up all the hand sanitizers in the two counties everywhere to sell on Amazon at high prices, but they shut him down

11:15 am

jaxx7

There was one chap on the TV who had filled his spare room from floor to ceiling with toilet rolls. I can only think he is planning to sell them on and make himself a profit.

11:15 am

rururocks

or he's full of sh...

11:16 am

LeslieAnn

why not both

11:17 am

vashongin

It's ridiculous that people are acting this way...calm down, I don't see how having 40 extra rolls of tp in your house is going to prevent you from getting the virus

11:17 am

jaxx7

Especially as it is respiratory.

11:18 am

rururocks

if it could be business as normal everyone would have what they need.. the hoarders are the real problem.

11:18 am

LeslieAnn

there was a good vice article where they went and interviewed people buying multiple packs of toilet paper about why. basically they all said "i don't know, everyone else is doing it"

11:18 am

mixi6

Fw.

11:19 am

LeslieAnn

congrats mixi!

The CEO of Sainsburys has put out a statement to the effect that if everyone would act normally there would be no shortages. Watching the behaviour of some I think he is too late.

11:23 am

rururocks

ORi.. you did get my notes last night yes?

11:23 am

vashongin

From looking at the lines out the door at Costco - Costco is making a fortune

11:24 am

rururocks

all the grocery stores are making a fortune right now.. it's insane

11:24 am

Just got an email from the University President that all operations will be remote beginning on Tuesday. Looks like I'll be home for a while.

the grocery store's profit margin doesn't change if we buy them out of a product all at once or over weeks or months. the profit comes further up the supply chain as demand to restock increases

11:30 am

LeslieAnn

going through the list now ... hot take, if you can't find a word just put a v in it in an odd place

11:31 am

MollyL

The good news is that my friend Jameson and I will remain on friendly terms for another few months. No lines or empty shelves at the liquor stores here...yet.

11:32 am

origami

Good to know the booze supply is holding up.

11:32 am

MollyL

I would guess grocery store profits are up. People are buying more than they usually do and people who don't usually buy food (eat out a lot) are stocking up on things.

11:33 am

MollyL

I know I spend twice what I usually do in a week, adding non perishable foods and extra soap, toothpaste and such.

11:36 am

MollyL

I wonder what it says about us, as a society, that when shortage is threatened, the thing we hoard is toilet paper. : D

11:37 am

rururocks

we're a charmin species

11:38 am

MollyL

I'm sure that this experience is going to change the way people buy and store toilet paper in the future.

11:39 am

rururocks

i always seem to buy ahead so that won't change for me

11:41 am

I hadn't thought about toothpaste. I will have to get a spare tube.

a great time for those grocery delivery services. i'd be ahppy to to that for elderly neighbors.

11:43 am

my sister said walmart cancelled their delivery tho

11:44 am

lack of personnel?

How are you feeling hursh?

11:59 am

The guy in the liquor store said Pennsylvania is just shooting themselves in the foot. People in Pennsylvania who can't get liquor are just going to drive down to Maryland to get it. Thus increasing the amount of people out and about, where they are and who they come in contact with.

JaxH66

I'm dreading all operations being cancelled. My hubbie is waiting for a part to be made to have part of an implant in his leg replaced. It's still another 5 weeks to surgery and he's at huge risk of his leg being amputated if it fractures before the part is replaced. It's a huge worry for us.

12:59 pm

origami

Oh, Jax, that's scary.

1:00 pm

JaxH66

It is. He had bone cancer diagnosed about 18 months ago and we still don't seem to be out of the woods yet. No cancer, but still living with the disability for the time being. I hope they class it as urgent surgery and he'll get it done

1:01 pm

origami

Sure sounds urgent to me!

1:03 pm

JaxH66

It is, and it would probably have been operated on apart from the lead time to make the part. 6-8 weeks from the date the surgeon gave the go ahead, although I suspect that she is already chasing it up to see how long it will take them to deliver

1:04 pm

origami

Wishing you best of luck, Jax. Off to paint something now.

1:05 pm

Now that I have read about the sa7,48 and know what a fantastic dairy/meat animal they are I have adapted that ole purple cow poem. I have never seen an sa7,48 but I do hope to see one! I wonder if Lickety has them in his area as I did read how they have been cross bred to make excellent livestock in AU.

3:00 pm

rururocks

i thought they worshipped cows in India and didn't eat them

3:01 pm

amelu0218

did Lickety move?

3:07 pm

MollyL

I think the comment was saying that Indian cows are being cross bred with cows in Australia (AU). This is how abbreviations confuse people.

3:09 pm

amelu0218

Ah, ok, thanks Molly. I didn't catch the originate in India note.

3:09 pm

MollyL

Cows are not worshiped in India, but they are held sacred. (Different) Hindus are vegetarians and consider the cow a sacred "maternal" figure.

3:10 pm
