Okay
I tried to go downstairs in my apartment building late last night to check my mail. I wanted to avoid meeting anyone, because frankly, the people here do nothing to protect each other. They're very friendly, with a pat on the back or a heavily-breathed 'Hi' in your face...
When I opened my door, a neighbor happened to walk by and cough, followed by a 'Hi!', right in my face.
When I approached a door to the lower floor, a guy came barging through it and ran into me, giving an excited 'hi!' directly in my face.
Then coming back, I opened the door to my floor, and a women who's apartment is next to that door happened to barge out of her place and run right into me. "Hi" she laughed, right in my face.
Then I heard that an analysis showed that California could soon have a few million infected if we don't begin safety measures immediately.
Well, based on my own analysis of these trends, I predict that every one of them will then say 'Hi' right into my face!
In addition to epic dance battles, I am also watching Carol Burnett sketches, such as the toilet paper sketch. Click to enjoy.
There's almost no traffic out on the roads...Feels like it did before the city got large in the late 90's with the last boom.. Had to get bloodwork done for my annual. went to the lab, only two people in the waiting room, which is normally packed.
The city feels like it did during the 2013 flooding. People are being careful about distancing, but I have not seen any fights or altercations in the grocery stores. Even saw one lady who was going to take the last 2 five pound bags of flour offer one to the woman behind her who also wanted some. Same with hand sanitizer and TP - Were chatting to one young man as we wheeled our carts to the parking lot, told him looked like they were out, he said he got some and did we need one badly? Also lots of folks offering to pick up stuff for those self-isolating, we did a grocery run for a neighbour who just returned from Mexico and was locking himself in for two weeks.. Our neighbour next door brought us some stuff after we mentioned we would have to try to make another run (she works in a small town north of us and their stores are not as affected by the run on goods. Yesterday the grocery store had all of what we wanted, cashiers were masked and gloved... Very quiet in the city, but so far, relatively calm. Everyone seems to be taking things well and pulling together.
Yesterday headed out to the local registry office to get the plate sticker for the car - figured we'd get it a bit ahead of time, as when we called they said they might be closing up shop for some time... No traffic, empty parking lots.. stopped in at the supermarket in the same mall. They had a good bit of stock. but were rationing TP purchase - one per customer.. Picked up the essentials - kitty litter and cat food, then off to the liquor store across the mall - and got a few boxes of JT chardonnay - they were running a little low on stock .
Today one of our neighbours dropped off some supplies for us. Save for grocery runs we are staying in our apartment. (that and getting out for walks by the river..
Thank you, Richard, as always!
(Takes deep breath and lets it out slowly)
When will these shortages end???
Music sooths humans, accordion to many experts!
hahaha! nice.
I went down to the beach today... the ocean is still there... it doesn't seem very concerned over any of our problems...
Also... while I was there I ran into an old celebrity... Sponge Bob...
He is NOT looking good.
Yes, that is an actual gross and disgusting sea sponge about the size of a watermelon.
LOL! My sons did say that the show went downhill after they outgrew it, some years back!
I've been watching The Lost Episodes on Amazon Prime. It's kind of fascinating how much some of the parodies depend on knowning what's being parodied, and whether or not it's still around, and how the world has changed. There was a sketch about Germans opening an Argentine restaurant in a US city, which depends vitally on people being around who are old enough to remember WWII and that a bunch of German government people fled to Argentina. Otherwise it just goes THUD. Same with a sketch that depended on people remembering the commercials for Imperial Margarine, which I don't think has had a television ad in maybe 20 years -- certainly not the ones where a crown appeared on someone's head because they ate it. But some of them -- like the parodies of period movies -- still just work. (Though that may be because I'm old enough or have seen enough old movies to know the people and movies being sent up.) The one that was basically designed to be "Man of steel, woman of kleenex" worked in part because Superman and Lois Lane are still around.
In my town fatality levels have now massively dropped.
It's not because the virus isn't doing what it's supposed to do, theres cases and a few fatalities (3 total, all aged 80-93 with preexisting lung conditions and generally bad health (my housemate is a nurse)), it's because people aren't out drinking and stabbing each other (a popular local pastime) or doing silly things like usual. You barely even hear sirens anymore.
It is still weird how preventable things like the effects of bad lifestyles kill hundreds of thousands of people globally every single day and most people ignore it. But a virus raises it's head and kills barely anyone and they act as if it's the end of the world. If people lived better then a virus could kill a quarter of a million daily and it would be a reduction.
Michael 8 took a walk tonight it looks like he had his mask and rubber gloves on. playing it safe. Though it looks pretty barren in his scene
Stay well everyone
..wow nicely done.
As I have no streaming service or cable (or a television) been busy with story stuff and character creation. .
I've been burning my extensive DVD collection to disk - it seems the streaming unit I picked up will accept a USB drive and play the videos, and this way I don't have to get up and swap disks. And, of course, watching some of them.
For example, Mythbusters Season 8 Episode 11, "Flu Fiction". How fast does a sneeze propagate? Adam's hit 37 mph, Jamie 33. How far do the droplets travel? From mouth to the strip of paper on the floor, 17 feet for Adam, 13 feet for Jamie. Both sets of numbers may have been negatively influenced by mustache and beard.
And the effect of a runny nose just can't be described; look it up on the Science Channel.
I'm also playing around with recipes for TP; the people who glommed it all must be eating it. Best one so far is curried on the half-roll dressed with a tincture of sanitizer.
Yes, I'm hunkering down; I'm in Indiana (northern end) and we just got a report of the first case in my county.
All it takes is one YouTube video, and people think all Walmarts everywhere are at the battlefront. Not true. Walmart is safe. But no matter where you go, it is always best to have your wits about you and keep your situational awareness sharp.
There is no such thing as prepping too early.
I ordered two bidets. I've always wanted to do this, but I procrastinated. Will be several weeks before they arrive. So again, there is no such thing as prepping too early.
I have enough TP to get me through almost 6 weeks.
Cats always want more than you give them. Unless they're mousers. If I had a farm, I'd have a bunch of mousers.
LOL!
Y2K was NOT unfounded. It was a real problem and it could have been very bad. At my work, we tooled up and swarmed all of the known dodgy code, including needed updates to operating systems and add-on products. And there was a LOT.
But we got it all done, and only two applications didn't work right come the week after NYD.
Me too, but I'm ready if the worst should happen. It's never too early to prepare.
Hey, my kitchen remedy is to cook GREAT food and enjoy it, because a good meal can go a long way to making one feel truly wealthy; even if one might not have a lot of cash.
You left out the most important fact: What model BMW was the fella driving?
I am taking notes so that when this is all over, I can do a self-analysis and figure out if there is/was anything I should have done differently, or anything I can improve on for next time. There will be a next time, and it's never too early to start planning.
How do you keep your bread from getting moldy? Every time I bake bread, it barely lasts 3 or 4 days before it's got green spots all over it. I would consider it a huge win if I could get my baked bread to last 7 days outside of the fridge.
Um, wait a minute. Who is making face masks?
Pass.
Mixing Chlorine with acid is very bad. Well, except when it kills rats. I once treated my pool with Muriatic acid and must have put the chlorine shock into the pool too soon. The next day, there was a little floater; a small mole. AKA, "Florida rat".
Spring Break has been canceled pretty much everywhere.
Chlorine and Acid = Bad News!
I started trimming and weeding in my flower beds today. Tomorrow, I hope to get the tilling done in my garden. It's mid-80s weather in Central Florida this week, so it's time to plant! Gonna have lettuce, onions, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, broccolli, and some herbs.
Chlorine and Muriatic acid can do enough lung damage all by themselves. But when you mix them, look out!
It's never too early to prepare. You could even be preparing NOW for the next time. A good way to get started on this is to start by educating yourself on various ways to protect yourself and your husband. If he has a bad back, it's very possible that your home security may fall to you.
There's only a delivery fee because people don't tip, or grossly undertip.
Uh oh, it looks like the cop in the background may have caught Michael out after curfew. Into the hoosegow with him!
I always wanted a bidet because I am allergic to TP but now thanks to this they will be even more expensive
Not necessarily! I was able to order mine at the regular price minus a 10% off code from somebody's YouTube affiliate relationship. Do try. I even found a "travel" version that should work in a pinch (pun intended) if my TP stock starts to get scarce.
I would need both money and a plumber too, my whole loo really needs replacing
also this talk of a curfew concerns me, I don't understand the logic, limiting the hours people can go out means more people out at once over the shorter times.
I go on nighttime jaunts to the service station often for necessities as I avoid people, this will force me to interact with more of them.
I would guess the logic behind curfews is to reduce night time activities to make it easier to find/identify people out for nefarious reasons (i.e. potential looters). Unfortunately when everyone knows that stores/offices will be vacant for extended periods of time, it makes them targets for those with less than honorable intentions. At least this is the explanation that makes sense to me, though I could be totally wrong.
I don't think LA has ever looked like this. Ever. There were probably more people on the streets before they had paved roads! I heard helicopters earlier. Nothing is open past 9pm now so there's no reason for anyone to be on the street and I'm wondering if people can get tickets for just taking a walk now. This is so surreal!
This is a freeway that is usually bumper to bumper traffic pretty much any time of day and Hollywood Boulevard where all the tourists go (and close to where I live, but I always try to avoid the area because it's usually so crowded.)
Really, it fills my heart with sadness, here in Italy, reading how profoundly in the U.S. is radicated the feeling and convinction that when it comes to hard times, the first enemy that you'll have to confront won't be difficulties or sickness, but the people around you. Living with a "everyone around is going to prey on me" mental scheme (I beg you pardon for my poor english, hope I'm being able to communicate well enough what I mean) must be something filling souls with really heavy emotions, can't imagine how energy-draining it must be.
Here bidets are the default in every house for daily hygiene, even if we too use TP (but we much more hoard on food, when it comes to panic); we feel at unease, when staying in some place that misses it.
Hope in these hard times Light will manage to touch the core of our hearts, and help them take out their best part.
May the Source bless all of you,
Approximately 1.33 billion people suddenly disappeared from this country, India.
I am sure hundreds of lives are saved (road accidents etc.) worldwide than this virus is claiming.
Somehow on an almost empty street there was a major car accident with injuries just a few blocks from me. There are almost no cars out, yet people manage to get into accidents. Crazy!
The sun doesn't seem worried either, despite it's got corona for billions of years...
Agreed. The only reason Y2K ended up as basically nothing for most people was that IT people did what was needed to fix a huge part of the problems ahead of time.
Yah most town are ghost towns. I still need to walk my dogs so I'm out as much as ever, but Everyone's in hiding. The surprising thing though, not seeing many homeless either. Suddenly no pedestrian traffic, there's no one sitting on the side of road asking for change.
The planet will do just fine, whether we're here or not.
Implying that the net population of the Earth is increasing!
There's a skit in the British "Yes, Minister" (or maybe it was the "Yes, Prime Minister") TV series where Humphrey Applebee is arguing with the Prime Minister against a cigarette smoking ban because too many people would survive to old age, increasing the old age benefts costs. His classic line was something like "People should continue to die at the current rate".
