pugmama763

as I recallI had to email Lickety & he sent the program for download but its been years... he might have changed it

12:15 am

Rainiqui

Already did that and couldn't see anything.

12:16 am

hokie carla

Lickety’s page only has his email and says too email him to get it but someone posted a link here not too long ago so maybe they’ll see this

12:17 am

12:32 am

grannyrose

christine, as far as i know she is okay. she is very busy with her volunteer work. she was here in chat last flip, but i missed her... mwah....

12:32 am

Rainiqui

Yikes - I found Sprite's profile, got the url but when I tried to open it, my computer locked up tighter than a miser's wallet! Oh well........

12:33 am

grannyrose

oh dear. sorry for that rain. may be better if you email lickety then.

12:34 am

Rainiqui

Thanks a bunch Rose.

12:35 am

grannyrose

i did say sorry. didn't know sprite's link would do that.

12:36 am

Rainiqui

I wasn't being sarcastic, I was thanking you for trying to help me.

12:37 am

grannyrose

*hangs head* is it okay to come out of the naughty corner then?

12:38 am

Rainiqui

Rainiqui

Umm, I'm wearing socks

grannyrose

Rainiqui

12:42 am

Christine

12:43 am

Rainiqui

12:44 am

grannyrose

12:44 am

Rainiqui

It wasn't that long ago that someone had to tell me what PB stood for cause I thought it meant peanut butter

12:46 am

grannyrose

peanut butter.... yum yum....honey....fresh white bread without a shred of goodness in it....yum yum.

12:47 am

Rainiqui

whatcha talkin about - fresh white bread is the food of the gods

12:48 am

Rainiqui

most peeps don't know that whole wheat bread has more sugar than white

12:50 am

grannyrose

yeah i heard that. and they add colouring to the dough to make people think that they are eating something wholesome.

12:51 am

Rainiqui

My bed is calling my name - good night Rose, it's been fun !

12:52 am

3:10 am

grannyrose

darling, how have you been? how are the plans for the tiny house going? are you and Rob still talking?

3:10 am

grannyrose

last one for some time honey. we have to close due to this wretched covid-19.

3:11 am

grannyrose

{{{{{{{HHUUUGGGGSSSSS}}}}}}}}

3:11 am

sprite

let me see... rob is okay, I had the flu and am now down with pneumonia, we put the tiny house on hold, we will move to another place around april 1st and then continue planning. And we are still talking :D

3:11 am

grannyrose

{{{{{{{ KKKIIIISSSSS }}}}}}

3:12 am

grannyrose

AAAGGGHHHH...... do you need to be tested??

3:13 am

sprite

tim's university has closed, they have cancelled all exams and therefore tim is promoted to next year without exams. He will come back to holland soon, unless there is a lockdown.

3:14 am

grannyrose

do you have any where in particular you are thinking of moving to? hope he makes it home before the borders are closed.

3:15 am

sprite

nah, they are short on tests and save them for the really serious ones. It looks like it was indeed the corona flu, seeing how I got a flu shot and how sick I was and also the symptoms. But I have been good, stayed home, did not infect others. Right now the flu has passed, but of course with my rotten health, I got bacterial infections afterwards.

3:15 am

sprite

yes we found a place for the summer. In bakkum. A mini camping, very nice.

3:17 am

sprite

are you and Don still flu free?

3:21 am

sprite

.... squirrel... :D :D

3:22 am

grannyrose

oh my honey. neighbour just phoned worried and making sure i am okay.

3:22 am

sprite

aw that is sweet. Is Don behaving?

3:23 am

grannyrose

yes don and i are flu-free. going up to Hervey Bay tomorrow, in Queensland. small coatal town, fresh air, sunshine and the sea just about on the doorstep.

3:23 am

sprite

oh that is great, honey. Just what you need.

3:24 am

grannyrose

he is better. i am going to talk to him while we are away. neutral territory and all that. you know the drill.

3:25 am

sprite

oh yeah. I will be with you in spirit, my friend.

3:25 am

grannyrose

pneumonia is quite common with this virus sweetheart. it is what is killing the elderly with all their age related disorders. any sunshine, get youself out in it.

3:26 am

grannyrose

sunshine, fresh air, and gentle exercise all recommended towards a good recovery.

3:27 am

sprite

mwah, not much sun here yet. I have my window open as often as I can, so fresh air - check. Exercise... does coughing my ass off count? ;)

3:29 am

grannyrose

btw, sweetheart. i have had a devastating email from Ruby. she said goodbye to me. this time i think it is for real. she is too weak to leave her bed and she now has Hospice in the Home care. honey, you have every reason to not think well of her, but please, for my sake, pray that her passing will be easy for her.

3:30 am

grannyrose

gentle exercise sweetie, out in the fresh air. this virus hates fresh air, and sunshine. a slow stroll as far as the canoe club and back. that's all. 2-3 times/day.

3:31 am

sprite

sweetheart, she is in my prayers every day. I don't go for resentment.

3:32 am

grannyrose

bless you darling. i thought that would be the way you would go.

3:33 am

sprite

of course. *hug*

3:36 am

grannyrose

my relationship with Dan, Lisa and little Sophia continues to blossom. Sophia and i colour and/or paint together when i go over there. i have bought tubes of watercolour paint. i plan to teach her ho to mix her own colours.

3:36 am

grannyrose

*how*

3:36 am

sprite

ohhhh priceless :D

3:38 am

grannyrose

whew! have nearly finished packing my suitcase. just my carry on bag to do. it is only a three hour flight and it is direct from Melbourne to Brisbane, the capital of Queensland.

3:38 am

sprite

sounds very good, darling.

3:39 am

grannyrose

and here comes dinner. honey, will check in tomorrow from Queensland after the flip...

3:39 am

sprite

enjoy. *hugsssss*

3:39 am

grannyrose

love, love, love you to pieces. please take good care of my soul-sister. she is very precious to me.

3:40 am

I am being careful, sweetie, promise.

6:49 am

Deeha

how did I do that!! Think cat walked on keyboard

6:49 am

BzznBea

Good morning, Deeha.

6:50 am

Deeha

good morning bzz how are you?

6:50 am

BzznBea

I'm well, thanks.

6:53 am

Deeha

Went to supermarket this morning. They were annpuncing only three of any item. Too late for that the shelves have been empty for days.

6:54 am

BzznBea

Yes, I went yesterday. Nothing there.

6:55 am

BzznBea

And the store I went to had recieved three trucks of the day before.

7:06 am

Deeha

heard a story today-dont know if its true-about a couple who were hoarding 180 packets of toilet rolls. When they were out their three dogs got in and ripped them all to shreds. Hope thats true!!

7:07 am

BzznBea

LOL!

7:07 am

Deeha

owse

7:08 am

Deeha

sorry I did it again

7:08 am

crosshair

Good morning, my Babble friends, and a special prayer for "Ruby Tuesday." May you go to the blessed reward you so richly deserve in peace and in comfort. You are loved by many, my "exotic french girlfriend." I will remember you always and hold a piece of you in my heart always.

7:08 am

Deeha

hopefully theres just you and me here!

7:12 am

Deeha

not finding this grid easy today

7:13 am

MollyL

Great story Deeha. What goes around, comes around, yeah? : D

7:14 am

Deeha

in this case happily yes!

7:21 am

MollyL

I hope this experience teaches grocery stores to enforce a "three per person" rule all the time. I see people in stores all the time, loading their carts with sale items. I can't figure out why someone needs to buy ten 12 packs of Coke at a time. Seriously?

7:25 am

BzznBea

I'm with you, Molly. Most often they do have a limit if it is a really good sale. I got 4 12 packs of Dr. Pepper last week for 2.77 each. I can only usually get it on sale for 3.39. I don't drink the stuff, but my mom does.

7:28 am

BzznBea

Another thing I find interesting about the empty shelves at the grocery store...I stand behind people in line all the time and their carts are loaded with soda, chips, frozen pizza, snack cakes, etc Then they take out their EBT card.

7:28 am

Deeha

they must all be on a diet!!

7:29 am

BzznBea

These last couple of weeks, The shelves of those items are still well stocked. Like, now they decide to eat healthy?

7:34 am

Deeha

lunchtime! see you all later

7:36 am

MollyL

Yeah Bea, I don't get it either. The typical loaded grocery store cart here on the day before a major snow storm is loaded with ice cream, frozen pizza, chips and other junk food.

7:57 am

BzznBea

23 left...Lots to do today...Back later.

8:28 am

Awwww crossy

8:34 am

Good morning, all. So sad to read of Ruby's health decline. I pray for her and wisher her God speed.

8:38 am

8:47 am

periwinkle

good morning all I have aready been to 3 food markets right when they opened. the first was mobbed! the 2nd not so bad. and the last was crowded but not as bad as the first. none had toilet paper but Ihave enough for now.

8:47 am

MLFAN17

peri, did you find anything were buying?

8:48 am

doseffing

... did you check at the service counter?? ... Haven't seen toilet paper on the shelves for a while but I found two places which would give you a package of toilet paper from behind the counter if you asked at the customer service counter.

8:49 am

MLFAN17

that's interesting dose

8:50 am

doseffing

... I was just wandering around the aisles picking up stuff when I spotted someone with a package in her cart. As I had already gone past the empty shelves I asked her where she found it.

8:50 am

periwinkle

pretty much

8:51 am

MLFAN17

worth buying sorry

8:51 am

MLFAN17

dose they should be careful that might cause a frenzy liol

8:51 am

Judi

Has anyone used any food delivery services like Door Dash, etc.? I am torn. I want to patronize the area restaurants that are closed to dine-in service but are offering delivery. However, I still question the quality of sanitization they may (or may not) be using).

8:51 am

doseffing

... The other thing I noticed the other day was the sign at the end of the row and says what is in the row has removed the word "toilet paper" completely. It's like the stuff never existed.

8:52 am

periwinkle

that is a concern Judi

8:52 am

welki

'morning, all

8:52 am

MLFAN17

I didn't even know any of them were in service to do so?

8:53 am

8:54 am

BUT I also think the mail carriers should have gloves on just to be sure

8:54 am

rururocks

i spray the postal guy with bleach when he comes up the walkway

8:54 am

welki

you can drive yourself nuts, phaeton - how about cash? the take-out coffee cup. at some point, you either have to just do the best you can, or live in a bubble. i'm leaning towards the bubble.

8:55 am

doseffing

... there are three common restaurant delivery services around here: Uber Eats and Skip the Dishes and there's another one. Their drivers all show up at the restaurant with a large insulated bag and pick up your food in the pre-packaged containers from the restaurant. If you trust the restaurant I don't think you got anything to worry about from the drivers.

8:55 am

Dorens

read the mail, then wash your hands

8:55 am

rururocks

i haven't been getting much mail lately though :D

8:56 am

Judi

lol. It's maddening. Mail, grocery shopping, door handles, etc., etc. We're all doomed.

8:56 am

MLFAN17

ruru we don't get much mail

8:56 am

welki

i had a tele-appointment with a doc yesterday - he faxed my prescription to the pharmacy, but wanted to know if i could have someone pick it up. hearing that i am 'high risk' from him put this thing into a whole new light for me

8:56 am

Dorens

well, according to the experts, at least 50 % of us are doomed.

8:56 am

Dorens

Fortunately it won't be life threatening to the vast majority

8:57 am

phaeton

I agree...I think she is concerned about the baby in the house. We have quarantined our selves as we MAY have been exposed last week.

8:57 am

MLFAN17

welk so what are yu going to do about the prescription ?o

8:57 am

welki

my pharmacy has a drive thru window - so either my husband or i will pick it up later

8:57 am

MLFAN17

Phae how?

... No we're not ... there has been this tulip in the front garden of my house which hasn't been watered or fertilized or been taken out of the garden after blooming for 24 years. I dug up the garden last summer in my annual attempt to get around to doing something with it. I threw out all the old dead bulbs I could find. .... .... It bloomed again this year .... ... how it survives I have no idea ... but it does ... .... so will we

9:00 am

Judi

Great story, dose. Superbulb!

9:02 am

MollyL

As far as food delivery, I think they are taking the usual sterile precautions. You run a risk with anything. A ton of people have handled your groceries before you buy them. Then there is the cart you touch, the payment machine you touch, etc.
Do your best to stay germ free, but you can't obsess about it.

9:03 am

Judi

True, Molly. Paranoia will destroy ya.

9:03 am

MollyL

Car doors, doors to buildings, elevator buttons, unless you go around in latex gloves, you are exposed.

9:04 am

rururocks

i have been wearing latex gloves shopping

9:06 am

i have gloves in the house, considered wearing them shopping and then figured i'd probably touch my face with the gloves - hard habit to break

9:06 am

rururocks

no.. not a mask...

9:06 am

phaeton

dang!

9:07 am

welki

i think the only way for me to stop touching my face is to put on the cone of shame :)

9:07 am

player girl

Ah got it now, before you clued ES 4, thank you!

9:07 am

phaeton

sorry for confusing you :-)

9:07 am

Scrabbler

What color cone are you getting, welki?

9:07 am

welki

clear, so i can at least see where i'm going - but will dress it up with rhinestones and ribbons

9:07 am

MollyL

I would need a cone of shame too. I am constantly touching my face.

9:08 am

Scrabbler

Hang Christmas lights on it too, welki

9:08 am

welki

wow - my grocery store is installing plexiglas shields to protect cashiers

9:08 am

better a neon sign - 'DO NOT ENTER'

If ever there was a case for efficacy of mass vaccinations this is it --- maybe the no vaccinationers will wake up.

9:54 am

I doubt it, they are deep in on the not believing science

9:56 am

this is like the measles and polio epidemics of the past

I thought maybe outro was too new, but even my computer tried to change it when I typed it here.

my refrigerator is making a rumbling noise I informed my landlady and she told me she does not have money to buy me another. I have paid for two venetian blinds to be replaced and my rent is going up $40 starting in April. Not sure what I want to do

10:09 am

hokie carla

these days aren't very different from my regular days

10:10 am

hokie carla

tough time to move right now. do you have to sign a year lease or can you go month to month?

10:10 am

rururocks

try to get it repaired for now peri

10:10 am

hokie carla

if it's still keeping cold, I would just try to ignore the rumbling for now

10:11 am

origami

Wow, peri - I am sure she is obligated to repair it if it breaks.

10:11 am

hokie carla

ooh, just saw another before starting the list. I still have 8 4's left, so I should be able to get those.

10:11 am

she is but says she has no money and I believe her

10:12 am

hokie carla

now on the list. I swear I tried to see any ao words and could not. :<

10:12 am

periwinkle

it was bought 2nd hand. not sure If we can get repair man during these times and she will probably not have money for that either. it is very upsetting to me

10:13 am

hokie carla

well hopefully it will keep on cooling and just be loud

10:13 am

origami

I agree with hokie - wait until you absolutely have to.

10:14 am

rururocks

i would think it is the landlord's responsibility to make sure it's working

10:15 am

hokie carla

I think most rentals come with a fridge but do they have to? I guess it depends on what's in the lease. and maybe if you rented with that included it would have to continue to be included.

10:16 am

hokie carla

so many eye roll words today

10:17 am

hokie carla

it's like I couldn't see any twists and turns

10:17 am

Peri no offense to your landlord (because I think you two are friends) but she should not be renting if she does not have a line of credit for such emergencies.

10:20 am

The curve of infection here & in the UK wildly surpasses that of Italy. I work in the Coroners Service & we are currently making arrangements for temporary mortuarys at army bases, because existing facilities in hospitals will be inadequate for the anticipated number of deaths. It is terrifying.

I think this will be the end of the small town centre as we know t. II live in a t

small town where older people are in the majority. Small shops will just die from lack of trade

12:55 pm

ch1212

We haven't experienced something like this, but our parents and grandparents did, with the great influenza pandemic that killed millions. Or the yellow fever pandemic that did the same in the U.S. Before that, it was the native populations being devastated to near extinction from white colonizers introducing new diseases. It is a terrifying scenario, and we who live in industrialized countries are in better shape to deal than those in third world countries.

This will change the cultural and economic landscape before there is a vaccine. The best we can do is take individual responsibility to practice good hygiene, self quarantine, and love the people we love even more than usual. And pray.

I have a friend who works with World Vision, and has first hand experience seeing entire villages and towns affected by epidemic outbreaks of Ebola and Marburg.

I think I have hit the coronavirus lottery...I got some toilet paper and paper towels, bread, milk, eggs, chicken breasts, and fresh veg. I took what I knew we would use in the next couple of weeks and no more. Even though stores were saying I could have more than what I was taking.

Good idea, Bea. Save you money too!

Yes, they are doing that here too, but our hours for senior shopping are from 6-7am. Why do they have to get out that early? Ridicuolous.

Well, once we get all the paper products back and the food re-stocked, we are going to be dealing with people who are not generating any income who can't afford the food that is now available. THAT Is when we need to try and help others when we can.

I am so heartened by the art community during these trying times. Art teachers are offering free video lessons daily, opening chat rooms, providing printable coloring pages for children. Such a great group of people.

A big shout out for Dr God - and Lickety too.

Hi origami and others. I am impressed by the kindness of others in working to keep kids entertained. One of my granddaughters (who is 20) got dressed up like a princess and read Beauty and the Beast on Facebook.

Lots of people are taking pity on the poor young parents who now have their kids at home all day every day and can't have a friend over to play. They are also stressed about reduced hours of work or getting laid off altogether while still having to pay ourtrageously high rents. I am so glad I am a senior.

8:22 pm

lynxxx

Rents and mortgages - hope all governments &/or banks do something. My sons bank has offered to defer mortgages which he will probably have to take up (works in restaurant).

8:23 pm

Bugsaw

other kids are writing songs and putting on little recitals for grandparents or others who don't see them often enough. I hope these kinds of connections continue when the veil of social distancing is lifted.

8:24 pm

Bugsaw

The government here is also waiving mortgage payments but so far, nothing for renters. I am worried that some greedy landlords will take advantage of their renters AND the government.

8:30 pm

lynxxx

Private renters as well as business renters - surely owners/landlords will work with the banks/govt - it's not as though there will be people lining up to rent houses or shops in this climate!

8:33 pm

Bugsaw

good point, lynxx. I told my son to point out how bad it would look to put a family with little kids on the street right now but he is still loosing his mind with worry.

8:37 pm

origami

Hi Bugs - yes, I worry about the people living paycheck to paycheck who are now without income.

8:38 pm

origami

On a positive note, I just got my neighbors 6-year-old and 3-year-old hooked on kumquats, so I have home for the 1000 on my dwarf tree :D

8:39 pm

Bugsaw

I hav never had a kumquat but I love the sound of them.

You know you're alive when you eat a kumquat. Tiny citrus that is sweet on the outside and tangy on the inside.

8:42 pm

origami

That's so cool that children are making videos for other children! Many museums have put coloring pages online of classic paintings for kids to color.

Kumquat marmalade mmmmmm!
