gapeach

Thanks much, dear friend.

1:59 am

grannyrose

*happy sigh* just finished. i do like a grid you can sink your teeth into. how's the dizziness ?

2:01 am

gapeach

Still here....wicked crap! Can't go to the doctor...am afraid to go out until this virus is over.

2:01 am

gapeach

Oh, congrats on finishing.

2:03 am

grannyrose

i hear you honey. i am overdue for my infusion therapy for the FM but the hospital has closed. only open for mums and bubs.

2:05 am

gapeach

I miss our buddy.

2:08 am

grannyrose

yes, me too. hard to imagine babble without her.

2:08 am

gapeach

Oh, I looked for your picture with her....I found one set of the house, her and the dogs, but there is a whole other set that I will look for and send you.

2:09 am

grannyrose

thanx dearest.

2:12 am

grannyrose

i was able to video chat with all my kids and grandies today. so difficult not being with them.

2:14 am

gapeach

I'm sure it. Glad you were able to see and chat with them. All OK?

2:14 am

grannyrose

thank heavens for FB. i have been video chatting with so many people. last night i caught up with a friend whom i haven't seen for over 8 years.

2:15 am

gapeach

Great!

2:15 am

grannyrose

yup, they're all okay. a little on the ratty side from being cooped up. middle son with three kids has been taking them on long bikes rides around their neighbourhood.

2:16 am

gapeach

That is a good idea and good for them and him also.

2:17 am

grannyrose

only one of my sons has to leave the house for work and one daughter-in-law also as she works in an aged care facility. no cases there.

2:18 am

gapeach

OMG! Here, we have a nursing facility that had 70 patient test positive and three admitted to the hospital......not far from my home.

2:18 am

grannyrose

hey i just realised i know a few babblers on FB. i wonder if i could call them? what a hoot! a babble meet-up via FB.

2:19 am

gapeach

That was just today, well, yesterday now.

2:19 am

grannyrose

good grief, peach. no wonder you don't want to leave your house.

2:19 am

gapeach

Yeah, that is a cool idea. Go for it.

2:21 am

grannyrose

i will have to message them first and check if they are okay with it before i do it.

2:22 am

gapeach

I suspect they will be greatful for the chance to talk with you.

2:22 am

grannyrose

i was very brave yesterday. DH took me out for a drive and we went through Hungry Jack's drive-through for our lunch. i didn't cry at all, not one bit. wasn't i brave?? loll

2:23 am

gapeach

VERY BRAVE!

2:24 am

grannyrose

yummy lunch though. it's been ages since i had a burger. and at the moment they have hershey cream pie on the menu.

2:25 am

gapeach

I'm drooling here.

2:26 am

gapeach

tsat

2:26 am

gapeach

sorry

2:27 am

gapeach

Do you ever find your self putting letter together before youget to sleep?

2:27 am

grannyrose

oh, and did i tell you? the Australian Ballet has had to close their performances. i am so sad to miss their wonderful dancing. what i have done though is donate the cost of my tickets to the company. if they don't perform, there is no income. i couldn't bear it if the company folded.

2:28 am

gapeach

letters......pleas over look my typing......sleepy.

2:29 am

gapeach

That was so nice of you to do that, Rose.

2:30 am

grannyrose

our government is handing out what they call "job keeper" payments to companies to help them stay viable until they can tr5 again.i hope the ballet company falls into the correct parameters and qualifies for the payment.

2:31 am

gapeach

Surely they will.

2:31 am

grannyrose

lolll... peach, that is one of the ways i fall asleep. i imagine some letters in a small square and try to make as many words as i can in my he4.

2:32 am

gapeach

Great minds, eh?

2:32 am

Gillie

Cdn government is paying 75% of salaries to companies that keep people on, and $500 per week to people put out of work by coronavirus.

2:32 am

grannyrose

yup..... *grin*

2:33 am

grannyrose

that's great gillie. and how are you?

2:33 am

gapeach

That is such a good thing, Gillie.

2:34 am

Gillie

I'm fine. I've been going out less, but otherwise my routine's not much different.

2:34 am

Gillie

Hope you two are all right.

2:35 am

gapeach

I'm hanging on here.

2:35 am

grannyrose

all good here thanx gillie. strange as it may seem, i am being very good.

2:35 am

grannyrose

poor peach. xoxox

2:36 am

gapeach

Yeah!

2:39 am

ursh

Hello all - all our fast food outlets are closed including bars, restuarants and all non-essential shops, liquor stores closed and supermarkets have cordoned off non-essential items we have to queue one trolley apart outside food stores and only about 50 people allowed in at any one time - our govt has gone really hard on lockdown

2:40 am

grannyrose

eek urshy. that's harsh but if it keeps you safe that's what matters most.our bigger supermarkets have security personnel on door duty, counting people in and out.

2:41 am

Gillie

We can still get takeout or delivery, but otherwise our restaurants are closed.

2:42 am

Gillie

I know they've had line-ups like that outside Vancouver supermarkets, but I haven't encountered it here yet. (I try to shop in off-hours.)

2:42 am

grannyrose

maybe because Australia's population isn't so packed into space is why we are able to have a little more freedom. Howie was telling me tat in his county everyone must wear a mask, even when gardening around your own home.

2:43 am

ursh

Masks here to if off your own property - no walking, cycling at all - dogs are all getting depressed with lack of walkies

2:44 am

Gillie

Here, they only just decided to recommend masks (non-medical), but it's not required, and it's not clear that they help much.

2:45 am

Gillie

Surgical and N95 masks are reserved for medical staff. There's been shortages, and the U.S. has been trying to lock down the supply.

2:46 am

grannyrose

the normal surgical mask is pretty useless after a certain period of time. i know that from when i was working.

2:48 am

grannyrose

loll... a huge shipment of PP gear arrived at Sydney airport from you know where. our officials sent it straight back to them.

2:49 am

Gillie

My province apparently managed to get a good supply early on, and has been sending some to the harder-hit provinces in Canada.

2:50 am

Gillie

And in Manitoba, a group designed an alternative to the N95 mask, but hasn't yet found a manufacturer.

2:51 am

ursh

We can wear home made masks with 3 layers - the idea is to stop you touching your face while shopping and handling possibly contaminated items

2:52 am

grannyrose

i am going to goodnight for now. i am expecting a call to come in very soon. have fun with the grid. xox

2:53 am

gapeach

Good people, I find that I really need to start towards my pillows. Y'all stay safe, y'hear!

2:53 am

Gillie

Good night!

2:54 am

ursh

Oh my goodness our local population of vervet monkies are going into breeding season and there is such a war going on in our garden - big males are chasing off young mature males - huge politics in their life

2:54 am

Gillie

Sounds alarming!

2:55 am

ursh

Not so much - we live with them on a daily basis - just very noisy and crashing across the roof

2:57 am

Gillie

We occasionally get coyotes where I live, but they mostly stay well away from people. They will take stray pets, though.

2:58 am

Gillie

And some neighborhoods get occasional bobcats, but that's about as wild as it gets where I live.

3:00 am

ursh

Its clever though - the young males are chased off and try to join another troop - natural gene spreading

3:03 am

Gillie

Do they eat a lot of human scrap food in your area?

3:07 am

Gillie

Lots of magpies and crows used to hang out at the dumpsters here, then the city started collecting organic waste for composting, and I saw a lot of consternation amongst the magpies, especially. Now I feed them cat food, which is maybe not smart.

5:54 am

MollyL

Finally got all the t words. What an Easter pain in the butt.

6:09 am

Deeha

think they do quite well this time of year picking off all the nestlings

6:19 am

MollyL

Didn't get that at first. I guess it is carrying on the conversation from 3:07 AM

6:20 am

Deeha

sorry didnt check the time. Don't time fly when you are in lockdown!!

6:20 am

sukee

I know, I can't believe it is Sunday again already.

6:21 am

Trifioso

a very blessed Easter to those celebrating today!

6:30 am

sukee

God. Just watching a news bit. All these idiots in BC who took the ferry to get away from the city. People just don't get it.

6:33 am

Deeha

I live in a seaside town and we get lots of DFL's (down from London!} someone asc omplaining on fb about all the holiday cottages full. But it was explained tht most of them were being used free by healthworkers etc to be nearer their jobs

6:33 am

sukee

But these weren't, like someone said, on the island they are going to there are 5 doctors. These were just regular people.

6:34 am

godthaab

Sukee - I saw that report - what a bunch of idiots!

6:35 am

Trifioso

this situation has certainly shone a bright light on some very, very stupid people

6:36 am

MollyL

I'm sorry, but I'm laughing. Let's all crowd onto a ferry during a virus pandemic. So many people have no common sense.

6:37 am

sukee

And the longer they do this the longer some of us will be stuck inside. Same with some people insisting they are going to full church services today.

6:38 am

Trifioso

that one is making me INSANE, sukee - it's one thing if it onl affected the idiots going....but then they are all going to leave again and infect how many?

6:40 am

sukee

And people still think if they show no symptoms that they are okay, it can still be spread.

6:41 am

Trifioso

our church is doing online services. we are planning to get dressed up and watch - very cheering, even for a minute.

6:42 am

sukee

Sadly, I think some people have to be seen going to church for some reason.

6:42 am

Trifioso

that is sad. and not at all biblical

6:43 am

sukee

Anyway, happy Easter. Time to go make some tea. Take care.

6:43 am

Trifioso

i did see a fantastic meme the other day - "trump was sent by God!" "why, was He out of locusts?" lololol

6:43 am

sukee

LOL, so true.

6:47 am

MollyL

I think prayer is very important. Where you pray, not so much. I'm grateful for all the prayers being sent and hope the world will heal as a result.

7:36 am

phandmd

It has been windy here for the last 3 days. I think it is finally gone. I understand we are to get 71 degrees.

7:37 am

MLFAN17

71 Is not bad

7:37 am

BzznBea

I think our revised forecast is for it to not occur here until tomorrow as well.

7:37 am

MollyL

I'm up for 71 degrees, Phan.

7:38 am

MLFAN17

i will gladly send it to you bzz lol

7:38 am

BzznBea

I'd say 71 is the perfect temp for me.

7:38 am

MollyL

I'm glad the winds have died down here. I decorate the bush next to our patio with colored, styrofoam eggs and they can't take the wind.

7:38 am

MLFAN17

as long as the humidity is low

7:39 am

BzznBea

MLF, if I'm not getting bad weather today, neither are you.

7:39 am

MLFAN17

maybe if they blow away kids in your neighborhood can do a Eater egg hunt next year!

7:40 am

MLFAN17

news just said somewhere tornado watch

7:40 am

MLFAN17

bzz that's probably true

7:42 am

MollyL

Kids wouldn't like finding these eggs. They are purely decorative. No treats inside.

7:42 am

phandmd

71 degrees is divine! I wish I could take my normal daily walk along the lake! But I can't even handle walking around the yard...

8:23 am

MLFAN17

8:24 am

BzznBea

Monkey, how is your mom holding up? And your facility?

8:24 am

MLFAN17

monkey i loved your other screen name but this one you changed to makes me smile.. maybe because i love French toast:)

8:24 am

FrenchToast

No one should be doing get-togethers, it's too risky. My co-worker's in-laws are doing a big Eeaster Egg hunt for all her grandkids, that's insane.

8:25 am

FrenchToast

Bea, my mom is doing fine, no cases of corona at her independent living facility. No visitors allowed, so we are calling & Face-timing.

8:25 am

MLFAN17

That's good French :)

8:26 am

FrenchToast

I had French to5 for breakfast today :)

8:26 am

MLFAN17

yummmmmmm

8:27 am

BzznBea

What I don't get is that they three of them have elderly parents that will be in attendance and all three of those parents have health issues. I think it is insensitive and irresponsible.

8:27 am

FrenchToast

I agree Bzz

8:27 am

MLFAN17

totally agree

8:27 am

mixi6

I think you should put some French To5 in th PB for today.

8:27 am

FrenchToast

I wish people were taking the isolation seriously.

8:28 am

FrenchToast

I work in health care, so I go NOWHERE except my work and my home. I have not been inside a store in 3 weeks, haven't eaten takeout food.

8:30 am

MLFAN17

if you need to find me i will be in the PB working on the grid ROTFL

8:30 am

mixi6

Some of the people at the dump had them on, but they stay away from people.

8:30 am

FrenchToast

It's Land o Lake butter, the real deal.

8:30 am

MLFAN17

8:30 am

8:33 am

Now I am craving a big fluffy baked potato loaded with real butter. OMG.

8:37 am

BzznBea

It is nothing but a bunch of chemicals. And if you know the back story on how margarine came on the market, you wouldn't eat it.

8:38 am

MollyL

I would love to buy only organic products. However, I would have to get a second job to afford them.

8:38 am

Last night I made a redlentil, coconutmilk curry. I was washing out the bottle of red curry sauce and a big lump of mold came out. Saddest dinner ever! I had used all of our spinach and the really good curry powder. I hope our compost is happy with it.

9:20 am

hokie carla

aw, easter egg dye in the grid

9:21 am

BzznBea

Oh, gramma...how disheartening.

9:21 am

hokie carla

ewww

9:21 am

gramma

It smelled so darn good! Not worth the risk. When in doubt - throw it out.

9:25 am

BzznBea

What did you have instead, gramma?

9:26 am

gramma

Basmati rice with a frozen chicken tiki masala

9:27 am

gramma

It's tough because we get groceries delivered once a week and I carefully plan our meals and leftovers.

9:27 am

That sounds good. I can eat basmati rice by the bowl with nothing else.

9:28 am

That's how I am with Jasmine rice. I love the aroma

9:39 am

hokie carla

I have not either, must be deeper south than I'm from

9:39 am

MollyL

Yes, I am aware that Bea is from Kansas. She now resides in the south, which makes her a Southern woman in my book.

9:40 am

MollyL

I like pimento cheese on thin slices of French bread. Mmm.

9:40 am

I don't love radishes but radish butter is amazing and very easy

9:40 am

9:41 am

BzznBea

I don't like them either, gramma. But I might like them this way.

9:41 am

You know what else is really good? Stir some miso into your butter and try not to eat it all.

11:40 am

hurshy

11:40 am

hokie carla

well, if I peek at the list I will see all kinds of stuff. usually people will just tell the point total when they find or are looking for a word without giving too much grief.

11:41 am

hurshy

yes

11:42 am

hokie carla

I can tell you hurshy, it is not being for bread browned in a kitchen appliance

11:43 am

MollyL

Sorry, I didn't realize that was giving grief. I was just curious because when I want to know a point total, I look at the list. I forget about the various ways this game is played.

11:43 am

hurshy

nor doing that in advance, hokie

11:43 am

hurshy

molly i don't think she was saying you were giving grief. she was saying that people don't, in general, which is cool

11:44 am

hokie carla

actually, I thought she was passive aggressive telling me to look things up myself, but it is hard to get tone in writing, so I apologize

11:45 am

hurshy

ah and here's me putting the best possible construction on everyone's intentions

11:45 am

it was nice to be able to see it without the crowds. When you visit any pictures just show what is visible above head height.

2:55 pm

harpjane

I'm a people watcher, and I always get distracted by the logistics of a large service.

2:55 pm

cybernan

that and you feel a bit rushed because they are trying to push so many tourists through each day.

2:56 pm

harpjane

I'd like to know the story of the people who were there. I think there were 16, plus the celebrants, lectors, musicians, and flim crew.

2:56 pm

harpjane

I've never been there. Not a fan of crowds.

2:57 pm

cybernan

I just hope they all wore masks considering what Italy went through following ash wednesday

2:59 pm

harpjane

I didn't see any masks but no one was closer than 3 meters from another person, with the exception of a few people who held books for the Pope.

3:00 pm

harpjane

I always wondered about the guy who is always taking the pope's hat off, putting it back on, etc. He probably has a Ph.D in "when to take off the pope's hat..."

3:00 pm

cybernan

yes - but one exception is all it takes.

3:02 pm

harpjane

I suspect they's all been tested, many times. But it IS a risk.

3:02 pm

cybernan

I get so angry with some of the clerics of these mega churches saying I believe in God (Jesus) he will protect me. I'd like to tell them that God is protecting them by providing the science, the scientists and the means to protect ourselves.

3:02 pm

harpjane

Maybe they only allowed people who already had it....

3:03 pm

LuvWordGames

yes, nan it's like saying I'm going to step into an oncoming car because he will protect me

3:03 pm

harpjane

Some of those mega churches are going to be mini churches soon. The state of Kentucky is running the license plates of cars in the church parking lots, and informing the people that they have to quarantine for 14 days.

3:04 pm

LuvWordGames

glad to hear that harp

3:04 pm

cybernan

Sounds good, but I suspect they will have to be prepared to lock people up to enforce the quarantine.

3:06 pm

harpjane

I think Kentucky is actually doing that. And fining people who violate.

3:07 pm

LuvWordGames

The State of Michigan issues fines for people disobeying the stay at home order

3:08 pm

cybernan

1 pm here -- time I took a lunch break :)

3:09 pm

harpjane

There are a bunch of people in my Big Red state that think it's a a hoax. Somehow they think Bill Gates is behind it. I can't even follow the logic.

3:12 pm

rururocks

I took a course in pope capology

3:12 pm

LuvWordGames

that's ridiculous, everyone knows Lucille Ball is behind it! LOL And to think these are people who vote

3:12 pm

harpjane

I shall rely on your expertise if I am ever called to sub at the VAtican, ruru

3:13 pm

That is good to hear.

10:12 pm

bookwomen

yes we have been lucky so far

10:13 pm

amelu0218

we've had high winds and sporadic rain bands all day but not critical. Will have a few limbs to pick up, I'm sure, and we're under a tornado advisory but we very rarely see those (and they're usually touch downs during a hurricane). Blessings to all, tho, as what we've had is probably tons less than some.

10:22 pm

gapeach

Just checked the news.....doesn't sound good at all. Wish I has a basement. During hurricane MIchael I lost the top part of my chimney and had rain down thru the chimney.

10:23 pm

NatashaW

That sounds scary... do you at least have a windowless closet to hide in?

10:23 pm

NatashaW

and BTW I just finished so if anyone needs a clue, I'm available for a few minutes

10:24 pm

gapeach

Yes, I do have that, NatashaW. My dog is very afraid of storms. So we will go into the closed and pray.

10:24 pm

NatashaW

This morning I was blessing having a giant grid for the day but after 300 words felt more like it was a slog for the sake of slogging...

10:24 pm

gapeach

Oh, congrats on finishing.

10:25 pm

NatashaW

Poor you and poor doggy! I am terrified of tornados.

10:26 pm

NatashaW

And I have slept in a closet during strong storms more than once...

10:27 pm

gapeach

I do believe that is the safest place...here anyway.

10:31 pm

it looks like we are in the all clear now but it is headed your way. get safe

10:43 pm

gapeach

Thanks bookwomen, I was kicked off the computer but it finally came back on. I will be up all night anyway....and alert. Thanks so much for informing me of the situation there.
