5:03 am

zoozzoom

We are on lockdown here but as I am a carer I am allowed to go out and see to parents thank goodness.

You be careful. As your parents are high risk, I'm sure.

5:06 am

zoozzoom

Uniue versions of English. I pronounce the word donkey to rhyme with monkey

7:28 am

mattygroves

welki

Bichon: I love CT! I drive thru on my way to NY. My inlaws used to live there. Always stop at Reins no matter if I'm hungry or not.

7:40 am

MollyL

A good deli is hard to say no to.

7:41 am

jzw

I even stopped in last Wednesday. Only doing take out and it was spooky walking thru the dining room with no one there.

7:48 am

welki

bea, my daughter has been working non-stop, but i did hear about a local group of Hutterites who made masks and gowns for their local hospital - made from a fabric called Maxima ESD, a special fluid resistant tight weave surgical fabric

7:54 am

BzznBea

Thanks, welki. Bless your daughter's heart! They are the heroes. I'll look into it this fabric.

8:00 am

8:05 am

Dorens

IN Vernon. good NY deli

8:06 am

Dorens

There also used to be a really good pie place you could see from I 84, but it closed down years ago. My kids and I shed many tears over that

8:07 am

welki

we used to stop at a place in manchester, just a few minutes away (years and years ago, 1970s, the gathering)

8:07 am

welki

...on the way to vermont

8:09 am

Dorens

memories. I haven't been up that way in 15, 20 years now.

8:10 am

welki

we were young, dorens - the gathering had all you could eat crab legs cheap and buckets of steamers (my fave!)

8:11 am

Dorens

I never knew it... Just Rein's and the pie place. And Books Food (or whatever that sign was - you know what I mean, right?

8:12 am

welki

i don't recall the sign - but i do remember the big duck on the way to montauk :D

8:12 am

Dorens

:)

8:12 am

jzw

I think that Duck is still there!

8:13 am

MollyL

Oh dammit, now I want seafood.

8:13 am

welki

a national treasure *lol*

8:13 am

Dorens

On 84N, past Vernon/Manchester there was a quirky restaurant that had book shelves lining the place and you were encouraged to take a book with you, and/or leave one. Food wasn't bad, great atmosphere. I 've heard recently that it is still there. The sign was visible from the highway

8:15 am

MollyL

Traveler Food & Books

8:15 am

Dorens

that's it

8:15 am

bichon

Yes, Dorens. Seen the place from I84, but haven't eaten there

8:15 am

MollyL

Pretty cool idea. Too bad there are not more places like it.

8:15 am

Dorens

my kids always loved it, bichon

8:15 am

Dorens

my kids always loved it, bichon

8:16 am

jzw

I only stopped there once. And one of the free books we got was illustrated by a teacher from my high school 200 miles away. Lousy book but the pix were good.

Scrabbler

Hi, nan. Tennis cancelled due to rain.

10:10 am

72 Temple Owl

wow, its raw outside! brrr! glad i didn;t know that before I went out to walk!

10:11 am

72 Temple Owl

mixi: are you in touch with sprite? how's she doing?

10:12 am

mixi6

I do not have a contact for sprite, just saw it in the chog.

10:12 am

72 Temple Owl

ok. thanks for passing it on, i did not know.

10:13 am

mixi6

I don't have any babble contacts.

10:14 am

cybernan

surprised tennis wasn't cancelled due to virus -- our golf courses have all shut down now, playground equipment and things like basketball hoops removed from parks (shouldn't be necessary but people won't do as they are told and stay home)

10:17 am

mixi6

They have removed water and chairs from the courts. Hand wash/sanitize before and after play. New balls only. Stay a distance away when changing sides.

10:19 am

cybernan

ah -- they started out with golf that way too -- use own balls on practice tee, no touching flag sticks, etc but with the latest explosion of cases everything was closed - nothing like shutting the barn door after the horse escaped

10:19 am

cybernan

just went to amazon to look at masks -- they have them, but all are made in and shipped from China

10:20 am

rururocks

i agree with you nan..people should just stay home and not interact out in the world to help

10:21 am

MollyL

I have never seen so many people out walking as I have in the last few days. I think people are starting to get stir crazy.

10:22 am

cybernan

nothing wrong with out walking as long as you have no symptoms and stay 2m away from others.

10:30 am

Mary

careful about ordering, a friend ordered sanitizers and it was a scam. Charged his credit card but when he tried calling themflub

10:31 am

MollyL

I didn't mean that there was anything wrong with being out walking. Just that it seems like more people are doing so because it is the only way to get out and about.

10:31 am

Mary

glue

10:32 am

Mary

sorry

10:33 am

rururocks

i would imagine a zillion scams are goign to pop up now..

10:35 am

MollyL

Check out ebay for some of the prices people are posting for toilet paper. ebay should not allow that.

10:36 am

cybernan

home depot wants $13.95 for an N95 mask that are 15/$35 at Amazon.ca --- that's not scamming?

10:37 am

cybernan

just spotted the flyboys -- don't know how I missed that one

10:38 am

MollyL

Watch your email. I have had a couple of mask offers show up and I reported them as spam.

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

the toiler paper thing continues to amaze.

10:39 am

doseffing

... you just remember them for when this is over and you never go back ... ... the community did that here for the gas station that jacked up the price of gas during the power failure of 2003 ... he was broke and out of business in three months

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

in MD friend said the only thing available was industrial type and limited to one roll. not one package, one roll

10:40 am

cybernan

I have come to the conclusion that they don't provide much protection anyway -- only helpful if the person who is contagious wears them.

10:41 am

cybernan

sounds good, dos, but HD is the only decent hadware store we have in this town other than Home Hardware, which is a very small store.

10:43 am

How the hell did Stephen Sondheim get to be 90?

10:59 am

doseffing

... probably the same way as Christopher Plummer ... he got married and was required to quit drinking

10:59 am

cybernan

The one that amazed me was members of the Colorado symphony playing ode to joy from home via video chat with the only connection being a metronome.

11:01 am

MLFAN17

mixi?

11:01 am

MollyL

So we live to be 90 if we stop drinking?

11:02 am

MLFAN17

11:02 am

11:02 am

aebmusica

MLFan ....when you get something for f4/7 it's called f4/7 +2vowels

11:03 am

MollyL

Reminds me of that joke...Doctor, if I quit drinking will I live longer? Doctor says: Well, it will definitely feel longer.

11:05 am

mmm - cucumbers keep longer when they are pickled :)

mlf and Trif - my beloved husband loves Sondheim's work, but not so much Webber. I, on the other hand, ADORE Webber's work, and most of Sondheim's. Needless to say, he doesn't listen or watch Webber material with me :(

11:29 am

MLFAN17

Trif on tv a few days ago they were showing gypsy with natalie Wood

11:29 am

MLFAN17

ch what is up with that??

11:30 am

Trifioso

its good to have complementary interests, ch1212

11:30 am

MLFAN17

I admit i am not familiar with everything Sondheim has done but what i do know i love both of their works

11:30 am

ch1212

Yes, the first musical we watched together was a bootleg tape of Passion, with Donna Murphy.

11:31 am

MLFAN17

11:32 am

Trifioso

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

11:33 am

MLFAN17

ohh

11:33 am

ch1212

Oh, I adore Donna Murphy. Her acting, everything. Loved her in Star Trek: Insurrection.

11:34 am

Trifioso

ohhhh, the evan hansen conflict in me! The music is great, Ben Platt was great, but Evan Hansen, as a character? HORRIBLE person. HORRIBLE.

11:34 am

ch1212

THANK YOU TRIF!!! I agree!

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

i am looking into the met series. PBS just rebroadcast Turandot. saw it in theater and it was great if you like choral music

11:35 am

MLFAN17

i am not sure if i saw that one or not Evan Hansen?

11:37 am

welki

hi folks - who ever thought that letting workers into your house to replace a water heater would cause more than financial stress? they could be cleaning out the basement for all i know - and i couldn't care less

11:37 am

ch1212

Turandot. You are a purist, Trif. That said, I saw the London Opera Company's (touring) Madame Butterfly in 1968 in Honolulu. Spectacular.

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

i am glad you got them, welk. and so will you be

72 Temple Owl

11:41 am

welki

this one is under a set of stairs, around a twisty corner - and a large tank. just getting the old one out was a job for two very strong young men (they had to lay it sideways) - so yeah, we did it years ago when we were younger, but having someone else do it now is worth the cost

11:41 am

ch1212

Beloved daughter runs a theatre arts school, and makes an annual trek to NYC with music and theater teachers from around the nation. They attend 4 shows, with backstage workshops w/ actors and director of each. She's been going for about 10 years now. Loves it! I keep asking to hide in her luggage or be her assistant - lol!

1:40 pm

hurshy

yeah, staying at home. was working as a substitute teacher and schools are closed anyway so ...

1:41 pm

jesdraggon

good, I hope it gives your household a miss

1:42 pm

hurshy

well, i had something, that could have been it, only i doubt it, the weekend of the 14th

1:42 pm

hurshy

i had a fever and cough but it didn't really seem to affect my lungs, so idk

1:44 pm

MollyL

Do you know how long your schools are closed? Ours just announced they will stay closed until April 24th.

1:45 pm

jesdraggon

minor signs are pretty common (though of course without testing can't know how common). if so, hope that was all you get. :)

1:45 pm

jesdraggon

We had a scare as one of my employees was out with persistent fever, cough, short breath, felt like hell... and then had to go in 3 times to get them to test her, then test was delayed... but turned out to be just a bad bronchitis.

1:46 pm

jesdraggon

'course, now that she's feeling better, we're in a stay-at-home

1:46 pm

hurshy

well, they had said they hope to open back up for april 3 but obviously there's an extent of seeing how it goes

1:48 pm

hurshy

i'm lucky, even if they do open back up, if public health experts are saying that's not a great idea, i do have the luxury of deciding to continue staying home.

1:48 pm

MollyL

Anyone who doesn't have to work is very lucky. I'm glad you won't have any financial worries.

1:49 pm

hurshy

well, i mean, i have long term financial potential worries but am ok in the short term

Hi folks - fortunately I am working from home and still getting paid. I really feel for those folks who are just out of work. A lot of those people live paycheck-to-paycheck to start with.

1:56 pm

jesdraggon

glad to hear you're ok, origami.

1:57 pm

jesdraggon

I'm waiting to hear what the ultimate deal is with the 2 weeks extra sick leave thing - i've got several employees who can't safely come in for various reasons and have dramatically cut office hours, and while i firmly believe they deserve that extra sick time, i might have to skip my own paycheck to make it happen

5:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok and you?

5:15 pm

lynxxx

Same. Wasn't going out anyway so not much change. My son actually came over late afternoon and sat on a milk crate outside my lounge room window and spoke to me over the phone. My kids are both very worried about my low resistance and for us both because we are older, Son will probably lose job sooner rather than later but at least govt has upped the usual out-of-work social security.

5:15 pm

jesdraggon

thanks wht

5:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's rough. our govt is sending a check to everyone below a certain threshhold and also allowing small businesses to borrow $ and, if used to pay employees, loan need not be repaid.

5:20 pm

lynxxx

Yes - our government is being quite generous too. Problem is that a lot of businesses can't continue because they are non-essential. Son works in steak restaurant who can only do take-away

5:23 pm

lynxxx

...and seems like these restrictions are going to be in place for at least 6 months

5:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

same here re no dining in. but if they borrow to pay, they can coninue

good clues, thanks ;)

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

does anyone have any tips how to wash those woven reusable bags? i woild hate to ruin mine.

5:57 pm

jesdraggon

what are they made out of, TO?

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

IDK. the ones that are woven, sort of like burlap

5:58 pm

lynxxx

I would just use cold water with cold water wash liquid

5:59 pm

jesdraggon

run them in wash on delicate inside a mesh bag so handles don't get tangled?

5:59 pm

lynxxx

Though burlap and like usually loses its rigidness

5:59 pm

jesdraggon

though burlap is pretty tough, so you might be able to just run regular wash depending on how thick they are

5:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

i always line them with a paper in plastic, do not pack directly into the bag.

6:00 pm

jesdraggon

rigid? I guess I'm picturing more of a soft tote thing

6:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

jes: the problem is they are not marked. it LOOKS like burkap, but it's not.

6:01 pm

lynxxx

perhaps it is paper - lots of hats etc look like straw or similar but are paper

6:02 pm

jesdraggon

oh, I think those you are supposed to just wipe down - I would not use them currently

6:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

not rigid. given out by whole foods when they first opened. brown with soack of potatoes design.

6:03 pm

lynxxx

the rigid thing...I once tried to recycle large coffee sacks but when I washed them (on cold) not only did the beautiful label printing all but disappear but the 'fabric' became very limp and soft

6:04 pm

lynxxx

I think just wipe down too

6:05 pm

hokie carla

I washed a bunch of mine before. turned out fine if they had the removable inside bottom. I think I probably did gentle cycle.

6:06 pm

hokie carla

don't have any whole foods ones but same woven fabric that the ones I have are
