Something About Nothing............ #14

[Lynne G]

Well that was some very loud thunder at lunchtime. Now sunny out, like nothing happened.

Thought I heard sirens, but found It was inside, as DH was loudly playing some video for his work on his laptop. Sigh.

A what for dinner. Thinking the potato bar did not go over well, as where is the meat? was asked. I did cook up some bacon that I crumbled. I bet pasta will go over well. Think I saw some red sauce still in the fridge from the other night.

Ack Keisha, hope all goes well with teeth issues. And are you going to around end of September? Will be nice to say hello to you and DH again. I did not do the mouse, as with no new reservations, I did not make mine in time, and eh, always next year to see what new at the mouse.

 

[Lynne G]

Mac, when are your times this Fall?

 

[schumigirl]

Yes that is the worst! Usually the worse I look the longer it has been since I've seen the person too. You can almost see them thinking....wow...that escalated quickly. LOL

Sunny, breezy, and mid 70s here today. It is absolutely gorgeous. Went for a 4 mile walk this morning to start getting my Disney legs back! I forgot how much I used to use theme parks as my exercise. Even though its only been a few months it feels like years.

Happy Thursday peeps!

That`s so true!!!

That`s a decent amount of walking Elsa.....we need to up ours a little too....

Glad you have some lovely weather.....

Hey all, it’s been a busy week thus far. Real feel temp over 100 degrees here yesterday. Late afternoon yesterday front started to come thru, it zigged away from us coming up the mountain. Was a real treat to see a double (lucky!) rainbow off in the distance while floating in the pool.

Oral surgeon found a “phantom root” and multiple bone fragments in my gum where tooth was extracted mid March. Hadn’t healed and family dentist told me I had to have the surgeon revisit it.

Apparently, it disintegrated into many pieces and some were left behind. Crap. Same drill (pun intended), need to get knocked out, yadda yadda. Really didn’t want to go thru that again.

Little one fell while playing mini golf last week with us, down between cement patch and a rusty chain link fence. Got a big gash on her leg that she laughed off. When I took a look at it five days later knew it was quite infected ewwww. Said it didn’t hurt a bit. Thank God for telemedicine. Sent a few pics and RX called in within 10 minutes but glad she had current tetanus shot!



That all sounds very yummy . Did a SAMs run and saw they had the frozen bag of chicken nuggets they sell in their snack bar in the freezer case. Lil loves them, they have a faint pickle flavor. I’ll call it an acquired taste I’m still developing lol


Dry wall sanding is such a mess, did they put up plastic

Yes, a damp mask isn’t going to help anybody out

Good luck, i’ll Be seeing my reg dentist monday. Assume he’ll rebond my 2 un-root canal’d molars instead of working on replacing the bridge. Oral surgeon said he’ll just need to pop it back off to do the surgery.

They really are but I’d suggest the ones with the metal nose piece to adjust them. Really not supposed to be worn more than once but taking cue from health care worker, sanitize mine with Lysol spray, hang them up to dry & use again. Most tend to have the elastic pull out with regular use over a few days.


They have committees in place here (school staff & members of the community) working on guidelines that will cover education down to sports. One large, rural nearby district already called in-school education for at least the 1st 2 semesters starting in September. That didn’t go over well with the parents.

Another large district in an economically disadvantaged area has done the same but has indicated

Seriously, I’ve only had that fancy dish on a cruise ship What a treat!

Same, but my middle DS is a pro at making it. Guess it skipped a generation.

Never thot of that, smart. again, SAMs sells a good version. May have to look for it.

If we all toed the line, we’d still be living in caves & drawing on the walls

Seriously, not sure why, but that last line has me ROTF

I found one in a bathroom drawer when rooting for a new toothbrush. They still sell them in the dollar stores here.

I`ve never been very good at making pasta in general...one of the reasons my pasta maker stood like a guard at the front of one of my gadget cabinets.....good on your son though, it`s not the easiest things to do.

I`m going to have to look in some of our stores to see if I can get one of those hair clips....oh wait, on second thought.....I might not like that underneath colour on show!!!! It might not be blonde

And hope GD leg is all healed up now.....sounded nasty.





Well, we have a monsoon here......rain has just got heavier as the day has gone on, now it`s just sweeping in off the sea, so it`s cold too and wind is rising.......also lightning a possibility.

The joys of June........

But, it`s lovely being in and looking out to the misery while it`s so lovely in here.....I`m watching the trees billowing like crazy through the almost sleet like rain.....not very summer like weather so far.

Just had a txt from my brother in law up in Scotland who has been gardening today and plans to play golf tomorrow.....I`m in the wrong part of the UK right now......I just clicked on to the harbour webcam where they live, and yes....it`s so lovely up there....

Fizzy lemonade with fresh lemon and lime tonight......

 

[mckennarose]

Went for a 4 mile walk this morning to start getting my Disney legs back!

That sounds like a nice walk!

Same drill (pun intended), need to get knocked out, yadda yadda. Really didn’t want to go thru that again.

When I took a look at it five days later knew it was quite infected ewwww.

Yikes on both counts! I'm glad you're both getting the medical/dental attention you need. I'd take it as a sign you need to go back on vacation.....

Fizzy lemonade with fresh lemon and lime tonight......

I think you misspelled "Le Citron".

Hubby stopped at a cheese steak food truck on the way home! YAY! I put mine in a lettuce cup since I can't have the bread. But it's still a good cheese steak!

 

[keishashadow]

Ack Keisha, hope all goes well with teeth issues. And are you going to around end of September? Will be nice to say hello to you and DH again. I did not do the mouse, as with no new reservations, I did not make mine in time, and eh, always next year to see what new at the mouse

Haven’t booked flights yet. Impatiently, waiting for SWA to get the credit to points system finalized

have AKV booked starting last Saturday of September, moving over to HRH on 10/1 for 5 days

m going to have to look in some of our stores to see if I can get one of those hair clips....oh wait, on second thought.....I might not like that underneath colour on show!!!! It might not be blonde

And hope GD leg is all healed up now.....sounded nasty.

two tone hair is the new thing haha. My salon is folded since they closed the JCPenney store. Did hear One girl is working on buying a salon to try and salvage large customer base

No, it’s still oozing gunk. Gross but white bs yellow yesterday. Will take that as a good sign antibiotics are working. It’s weird. Wound looks like multiple shallow dog bite punctures with one large spot

Yikes on both counts! I'm glad you're both getting the medical/dental attention you need. I'd take it as a sign you need to go back on vacation.....

Haha of course, exactly how my warped mind thinks

Hubby stopped at a cheese steak food truck on the way home! YAY! I put mine in a lettuce cup since I can't have the bread. But it's still a good cheese steak!

yum. I settled upon pizza (bogo free day) & a sammie at Primantis. Cannot wait until I can attack one of them lol

 

[Monykalyn]

Hello! Into typical June weather for Orlando with afternoon showers. My ti I g wasn’t good today as the horn blew for lightening soon after I got to pool today. We went to activity patio and played Uno, Exploding Kittens, and then Bingo with activity crew. Son discovered a love for bingo on last cruise - good thing we had tons of OBC as I think he played every sea day with Multiple rounds. Took us up to ice cream time - refillable bowls used again. Shared with a kid. Then sunny again but went back to condo to start dinner and throw roast in oven, back at pool 15 minutes and back out again. Sigh. Dinner was roast beef, mashed potato and gravy. And glass of red wine.

Schumi I remember the banana clips! Long wavy hair and the clips were great! Need to dig out college pics with hair down to waist. I was in high school in the 80’s but could never get the big hair bangs right.

Got a big gash on her leg that she laughed off. When I took a look at it five days later knew it was quite infected ewwww. Said it didn’t hurt a bit. Thank God for telemedicine. Sent a few pics and RX called in within 10 minutes but glad she had current tetanus shot!

omg ouch! Glad to hear it’s better. When middle gashed her toe and it started oozing and getting hot and red we called urgent care to see if ok to come in (back in April). I think the Urgent care folks were ‘glad’ to get a routine infection. Hospital all ramped up and (thankfully) cases low and continue to be low.

SWA to get the credit to points system finalized

is that the promised points for Rapid Rewards? I’m waiting too as if we all do get extra points flying to Orlando for Thanksgiving for a week.
Elsa- yeah I need to be disciplined on walking too-10 miles at Uni Tuesday and I’m feeling it. Need to keep breaking in new hiking shoes for South Dakota trip at end of month, if I didn’t miss my pets so much I’d be more tempted to extend another week in Florida- but that would mean I wouldn’t get to see my fur and feather babies for long,
Supposed to be mostly sunny tomorrow so doing some work tonite so I can be done super early tomorrow, but as I was checking my nursing home I’m “e-visiting” tomorrow I found out one of the residents I was worried about passed away. Not from covid but loneliness- my last note last month noted he was depressed from the isolation and losing weight rapidly- nursing was outstanding with him but he just gave up. He’s a collateral loss from this forced lockdown. I know we need to protect our vulnerable but we’ve never stopped to ask if they WANT to be locked away, nor considered they may pass anyway...only from depression of locked away from family. Took wind out of me for a bit.
Weekend is almost here so yay! For that. Made appointment to give blood next week- they are doing antibody testing with blood donation, I used to regularly give when worked at hospital so why not? Blood is desperately needed with regular surgeries ramping up, and I’m O+ so goes along way.

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, the blood back was happy, as little one is not O+, and her rarer blood type was urgently needed. Glad you are donating, MonyK. And yum, dinner. Hugs on loosing that patient. Very sad. I was happy another resident routinely came to cheer up my mom, and we all called her daily, But no visits was hard on her and all the family.

Pasta was delicious and now little one wants ice cream, so off to the store are us.

May all have a wonderful night, as when we all wake up, Friday!

 

[mckennarose]

I settled upon pizza (bogo free day) & a sammie at Primantis.

No fair teasing with Primantis!

We went to activity patio and played Uno, Exploding Kittens, and then Bingo

Sounds like so much fun! I just played throw throw burrito for the first time two weeks ago and had a blast. The exploding kittens people made that one too. It's just what you'd expect.

I was checking my nursing home I’m “e-visiting” tomorrow I found out one of the residents I was worried about passed away. Not from covid but loneliness

That is so sad, I'm sorry.

Monyk, what was the procedure like or any news on how Marriott is handling check in, cleaning, masks, pool stuff, etc. with regard to the virus safety?

 

[Vicki Rickerd]

feel like melting so humid out

Hope you get some drier weather soon. We are going to enjoy this nice break from the ick. Never see evenings like tonight in June.

Bacon made for lunch today for BLT’s

All right all you all with the bacon, I'm on my way.

Oh the 80`s are the best!

We had so much fun that decade.

It is still raining here!!!

Sending some good weather your way. Until then just think of how warm you will be come September.

And like Vicki, we are working on our yard, and DH has a chain saw

Jeff is trying to walk back our gardening day. Oldest is at the lake and my youngest and houseguest are both working on Saturday. I think he just realized, he will be the one who has to help shovel all the dirt and mulch out of the truck.

Just seen the new Bill and Teds trailer the other day!

do you remember banana clips?

My mom still uses them.

Went for a 4 mile walk this morning

I need a workout partner like you.

sanitize mine with Lysol spray

You have lysol? If you hear someone break into you house tonight and they are rummaging through your cabinets and they try to leave with your lysol, dont shoot me.

 

[Elsaspiritanimal]

I need a workout partner like you.

Only if you do better than my hubby. I attempted to take him with and after a half mile he said he was done and went back home. Not sure if it was the pace or me explaining to him how Disney needs to take reopening tips from universal....

 

[Monykalyn]

Monyk, what was the procedure like or any news on how Marriott is handling check in, cleaning, masks, pool stuff, etc. with regard to the virus safety?

Staff are wearing masks, cleaning all the time of doors in lobby/activity area, the attendant at the pool also goes around and sprays down the chairs after guests leave them. Pool towels in villas only. Tables on activity patio spaced out, and reminders in lobby and lounge area to stay 6’ apart. The tables were all cleaned after guests left after activity too. The pool loungers are well spaced out and zip tied in pairs two on each side of a table with umbrella. Actually enjoying the spacing between loungers! The activity equipment is supposed to be returned to recreation office after use so it can be sanitized. No housekeeping but will drop whatever you need off outside door and then knock to let you know it’s there. Got a mixer today to make the mash potatoes, then used it to make brownies. I spilled my coffee on lanai the other day and they dropped off extra towels, cleaning cloths and a bottle labeled with peroxide cleaning spray (I think- trying to remember the label). The remotes were in bags- they were super duper clean. Obviously cleaned and sanitized and then put into the bags. Hand sanitizer by all doors, by the bathrooms at pools in the lobby area etc.
Marriott has always been good about upkeep and cleanliness but this is really good. Between the super clean Universal parks and the resort - I feel as safe as I possibly could being out. I did wear mask on both grocery store runs- (about 50% customers in the stores were wearing masks,) but not around the resort. It’s really easy to be physically spaced with the resort at low occupancy.
When crowds do eventually pick up I hope some procedures stay- like increased cleaning and sanitizing of chairs etc.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. Long day today. I finally got the sofa out of my house. Yay!! Now I need to assemble the new elliptical.

I need to not say anything bad about my boss' husband for awhile. The other day he told me that if I could fix the mistakes he had made he would give me $25. I thought he was joking. Today when I got to work I found an envelope with my name on it and $25 inside.

Tonight we spent 2 hours working on a puzzle and got very little accomplished. This is our most challenging one yet.

School is almost over Wrapping up grades and going in tomorrow to the school to do summer clean up.

Do you get to relax some for the summer? Your schools get out much later than ours do.

Supposedly Disneyland will be making an announcement today about their reopening - fingers crossed for some good news! Hoping to go there in July to give me my fix until I can get to Florida for WDW and UO in September.

This time last year we were at Disneyland. I would really like to go back someday.

Oh absolutely adore Queen!! It`s usually them or George Michael.....and any other 80`s classic.....poor Kyle. He likes Queen but not so fussed on all the new romantic stuff or much else from the 80`s to be honest.......poor guy when he comes up to Scotland with us....7 hours of 80`s!!!

I wouldn't mind 7 hours of 80's music. I've even got B listening to some of it.

Ooh, DH brought home water ice.

I had to look that up.

You will have to let me know how you like it. I'm in for a way to exercise that doesnt kill my knees.

I think we are going to assemble it tomorrow.

Just seen the new Bill and Teds trailer the other day!

Cant remember the release date though......

Definitely will watch it....

I've never seen the original.

and do you remember banana clips???

I never could get them to stay in my hair. My hair was too thick when I was younger.

Went for a 4 mile walk this morning to start getting my Disney legs back! I forgot how much I used to use theme parks as my exercise.

A friend's mom used to do that. She bought a Disney annual pass and would walk the parks as her daily exercise. Her favorite was Animal Kingdom.

Oral surgeon found a “phantom root” and multiple bone fragments in my gum where tooth was extracted mid March. Hadn’t healed and family dentist told me I had to have the surgeon revisit it.

Apparently, it disintegrated into many pieces and some were left behind. Crap. Same drill (pun intended), need to get knocked out, yadda yadda. Really didn’t want to go thru that again.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Hope it isn't too difficult to take care of.

Little one fell while playing mini golf last week with us, down between cement patch and a rusty chain link fence. Got a big gash on her leg that she laughed off. When I took a look at it five days later knew it was quite infected ewwww. Said it didn’t hurt a bit. Thank God for telemedicine.

Prayers for speedy healing.

Really not supposed to be worn more than once but taking cue from health care worker, sanitize mine with Lysol spray, hang them up to dry & use again. Most tend to have the elastic pull out with regular use over a few days.

I'm thinking that if we get to go to Busch Gardens soon, and have to wear masks, I should get some of the disposables.

I found out one of the residents I was worried about passed away. Not from covid but loneliness- my last note last month noted he was depressed from the isolation and losing weight rapidly- nursing was outstanding with him but he just gave up. He’s a collateral loss from this forced lockdown. I know we need to protect our vulnerable but we’ve never stopped to ask if they WANT to be locked away, nor considered they may pass anyway...only from depression of locked away from family. Took wind out of me for a bit.

That is so sad. I am surprised that my office hasn't had a huge increase in people wanting our services. I wonder how people with mental health issues are handling this crisis.

Blood is desperately needed with regular surgeries ramping up, and I’m O+ so goes along way.

I'm O+ too.

You have lysol?

I have 3 cans all purchased before the panic buying started.

It is now midnight and I should probably get some sleep. I need to take the cat to the vet agan tomorow to get his claws trimmed.

 

[schumigirl]

That sounds like a nice walk!


Yikes on both counts! I'm glad you're both getting the medical/dental attention you need. I'd take it as a sign you need to go back on vacation.....

Hubby stopped at a cheese steak food truck on the way home! YAY! I put mine in a lettuce cup since I can't have the bread. But it's still a good cheese steak!

I did didn`t I......love me some citrus fruits in my drinks.

Lettuce cups are all the rage now for folks that have to miss out on bread....you`re a trend setter...….

Haven’t booked flights yet. Impatiently, waiting for SWA to get the credit to points system finalized

have AKV booked starting last Saturday of September, moving over to HRH on 10/1 for 5 days

yum. I settled upon pizza (bogo free day) & a sammie at Primantis. Cannot wait until I can attack one of them lol

She must have caught her leg a whopper!!!! Poor little thing and glad it`s not bothering her too much.....yes, will take that as on it`s way to healing.

I remember you showing me what that primanti sandwich was.....then I remembered I had seen it on Man v Food......that`s a sandwich and a half!

lol.....that clip was a staple in hair styles for many years.....I`ve always had a fringe so had it down pat....but my goodness I must have had big hair......lol...…..

Glad you`re having such a lovely trip down there....

How sad about the gentleman you knew. How sad to hear someone has passed in such a way, it`s not right at all. And yes, it must have knocked the wind from your sails.

Yeah, the blood back was happy, as little one is not O+, and her rarer blood type was urgently needed. Glad you are donating, MonyK. And yum, dinner. Hugs on loosing that patient. Very sad.

May all have a wonderful night, as when we all wake up, Friday!

Love ice cream!!!!

It is incredibly hard on patients in nursing homes and their families when no one can visit. I`m glad your mum had someone to visit from inside the home.....and your calls too would have been lovely for her.

Hope you get some drier weather soon. We are going to enjoy this nice break from the ick. Never see evenings like tonight in June.



All right all you all with the bacon, I'm on my way.



We had so much fun that decade.

It`s good to know you can still buy those clips somewhere....I haven't seen them for the best part of 30 years.....but then I never looked I guess......

Yes, the 80`s were fun with a capital F!!!!! I loved that decade so much for the music, clothes, hair and George Michael

Oh we need that good weather!!!! Have a great weekend...….

Only if you do better than my hubby. I attempted to take him with and after a half mile he said he was done and went back home. Not sure if it was the pace or me explaining to him how Disney needs to take reopening tips from universal....

First walk we did after being locked down for weeks about done us in!! We made the mstake of walking up into the woods and the first part is quite a steep hill......lol....I was whooped!!!

But....lol.....yes it may have been the conversation with your DH.......when we get on our high horse about something they have the patience of saints…...

I haven't done a puzzle in years! Would have been when Kyle was younger.

Yes, I can listen to 80`s music all day and frequently do.......most of it is so cheerful....although there were a few corkers in there.....hope you got some sleep.





It is still pouring down here.......I think we need to find that Noah bloke and see if he still has room on that boat!!!!

Last night was fun to be sitting in the inside looking out.....stormy weather made it look like a real winters night.

Wind has decreased but rain is so heavy still. We were supposed to doing some volunteering today with the package drops, but friend txt us last night and said they`re ok for folks now. So, a day in the house for us. Will catch up on some housework and laundry......

No idea about food yet.....Kyle wants mac n cheese, but we might have steak......I`ll have a filet, Tom will have the T-bone....lunch is deli meats......maybe picnic style and we can all help ourselves to bits and pieces. We like that......

But.....Friday is here, and I still get that Friday feeling even after being retired early for many years....it never goes away...........hope my tea twin Lynne is enjoying a morning cup of tea soon.......breakfast tea for me this morning.....

Have a fabulous Friday............
​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah yes, Schumi, second cup, as I always steep a large pot in the mornings. I know I would enjoy having tea with you. Hope your tea was warm on your rainy day. I will send a paddle. LoL

And yay! I am certainly



And to all the homies:


With that, have fun with your puzzle Charade, and yay for receiving a little money for helping. And ooh, did not know water ice was more a local thing. And unlike ice cream you can buy year round from a grocery store, our water ice places close by Halloween, and open around the first day of Spring. On a hot day, it is a sweet treat. I like a mix of lemon and cherry.

Yay for Kfish having kids enjoying summer break. While my kids are adults, I am so ready for summer fun.

Ah, time to see what for breakfast. Eggs with peppers and cheese, if I can wake older one. He likes making breakfast.

 

[Lynne G]

 

[mckennarose]

Pool towels in villas only.

Interesting.... so no key cards to get towels. Do you return the towels to the towel bin at the pool, or use the same towels all week?

Marriott has always been good about upkeep and cleanliness but this is really good.

Yes, they've always been really good. So has the Sheraton condos where we also like to stay. I know they're owned by Marriott now too.

Got a mixer today to make the mash potatoes, then used it to make brownies.

Do they have the kitchen stocked with plates, cups, utensils and cookware like always? I was wondering about that.

I did didn`t I......love me some citrus fruits in my drinks.

I was referring to Grey Goose Le Citron, which you do need in a proper citrus fizzy drink.

Lettuce cups are all the rage now for folks that have to miss out on bread....you`re a trend setter...….

I do miss good Italian bread, but I know it's healthier in the long run too.
We've been having a lot of food trucks around since the virus closed businesses. Cheese steaks, mac and cheese, Maryland crab, BBQ, perogies, wings, keilbasi, Polish, Italian, Dominican.... it's been nice to have easier access to finding them. DH's employer has them a few times a week now and they're not hard to find other places either.

And ooh, did not know water ice was more a local thing.

I think it's more of a Philly thing. It's not easy to get up here either. The closest we have is Rita's. There was a thread on the DIS about a month ago about water ice. I think someone from Philly area was asking if there's any in Disney and a lot of people didn't know what water ice is. Someone posted they have a water ice cart in Disney Springs somewhere. ????

A chilly start today at 63 currently. But the sun is shining and it should get to the high 70's later. We heard the brewery and BBQ place we like is now open for outdoor seating and taking reservations. Not sure I'm ready yet!

Did you all see that Florida and South Carolina's cases are raising pretty quickly? We're still tempted to go in the Fall and we're definitely keeping an eye on it.

Lynne.....hope you enjoyed your tea.....I`m just about to make a pot for Tom and I with a mid afternoon scone. And yes, might need that paddle.....still raining.


mrose…..missed that.....we`re not really big vodka drinkers.....very occasionally and usually Belvedere....in saying that....looking in the cabinets, we have more Grey Goose than Belvedere....lol.....

Love a good food truck!!! And you get much better ones over there than we get over here.....all those sound lovely! Enjoy that weekend coming up.......



Yes, it`s still raining!!! But......it is getting a little lighter...….I can see some bits of blue up there....not too much though.

Lightning is forecast tomorrow, so not over yet.....

Time for a cuppa and scone.....not quite a full afternoon tea service.....but close enough......

I feel like such a terible cat mom today. I need to take Casian for a nail trim, but have been having problems getting him to take the gabapentin so he will be relaxed at the vet's office. The last time I was there the vet suggested withholding his food in the morning until it was time to take the medication. I did that this morning and the poor kitty kept going over to where his food is supposed to be and staring at the empty space. I did eventually get the medication into his food and he ate all of it.

And ooh, did not know water ice was more a local thing.

I think it's more of a Philly thing. It's not easy to get up here either. The closest we have is Rita's. There was a thread on the DIS about a month ago about water ice. I think someone from Philly area was asking if there's any in Disney and a lot of people didn't know what water ice is. Someone posted they have a water ice cart in Disney Springs somewhere. ????

It looks like water ice is what we call Italian ice here. We used to have a Rita's, but it closed a few years ago. I guess there was too much competetion from all of the ice cream and frozen yogurt places. We seem to have an abundance of them for a city as small as ours.


I'm amazed at how popular food trucks have gotten over the past few years. The best set up I have seen is when B and I went to NYC a few years ago. They had just about everything imaginable in one location. The first meal we had in NYC was crepes from a food truck.

TGIF

is that the promised points for Rapid Rewards? I’m waiting too as if we all do get extra points flying to Orlando for Thanksgiving for a week.

Going from the rather ambiguous CV statement on their website, soon has been promised for at least month.

Not sure if it will relate to current credits, CV only credits, or all credits going forward.

Not from covid but loneliness- my last note last month noted he was depressed from the isolation and losing weight rapidly- nursing was outstanding with him but he just gave up. He’s a collateral loss from this forced lockdown. I know we need to protect our vulnerable but we’ve never stopped to ask if they WANT to be locked away, nor considered they may pass anyway...only from depression of locked away from family. Took wind out of me for a bit.

Sigh, going to guess he was a DNR otherwise ensure or a feeding tube until he had time to be counciled over the perhaps situation depression

Feel bad to have not see my Mom since middle of March. Never, in a million years, did I think her having Alzheimer’s would be of any benefit. For lack of a better term, she has no concept of time. I could have a week between visits and she thinks i’ve Just stepped out of her room. I do thank God silently every time she knows who I am.

No fair teasing with Primantis!

I gave DH the sandwich first, then back into kitchen to dole out the pizza (of which I have an entire box left to reheat & share with DS when he picks up GD). By the time I came back into the room, not a single morsel was left from the sandwich...i had hoped to mooch a fry or two, boo hoo.

You have lysol? If you hear someone break into you house tonight and they are rummaging through your cabinets and they try to leave with your lysol, dont shoot me.

Hahaha i had the worst time with it early on, then snagged two mid day at WM in early May. Dispatched that soon enough & it struck me to try the local Dollar General (yucky store) but, found another stash when the store opened. I was good & didn’t horde.

Every time i need to pick up an RX at CVS, call them first thing in the AM and inquire if any on the shelves. They have held maximum of 1 when they do.

Family joke is i’m Their Lysol, TP & Clorox wipe pusher.

Clorox wipes, thankfully are back on S&S at amazon quite easily. I had them in regular rotation before this mess started.

Now, if i can only find udon noodles in stock at any B&M store

I need to not say anything bad about my boss' husband for awhile. The other day he told me that if I could fix the mistakes he had made he would give me $25. I thought he was joking. Today when I got to work I found an envelope with my name on it and $25 inside.

It’s official, you now are a “consultant”

I was referring to Grey Goose Le Citron, which you do need in a proper citrus fizzy drink.

It gives a nice contrast to fruity drinks too

Yeah, lots of food trucks in the City, but none around my neighborhood. Guess our township doesn’t like them.

Never heard of a water ice truck in Disney Springs, but I tend to not walk all of DS, as not much I want to look at, or buy from. I do like going there for a stroll and eating a sandwich from Earl’s.

Hey Keisha, hope you are not in pain. Yeah, luckily, I had bought wipes from BJ’s, with a coupon, two weeks before empty shelves. Amazing to still see blank shelves in the cleaning aisles.

Ooh, a lovely sunny Friday. Think I need a walk today.
