It's sad when it starts affecting family relationships. I had stopped by my niece's place a couple of days ago. Her kids are out of school due to the plague scare. I was sitting in my truck talking to her so I could minimize contact with her numerous kids. Her mom had already told her kids to stay away from contacting people. Her 6 year old daughter came storming out of the house to hug me. Her mom told her to stop and back away from the truck. She had actually stepped up on the step rail to reach in the window for me. The terrible thing is I actually flinched away from her. She was devastated. Never happen again. If I can't return a child's love, then to heck with it. I will take my chances with the bug.

This is our eighth day of keeping to ourselves. My wife and I are both a few weeks away from turning 75 and we're just not going out amongst the masses. I tried to do an online pickup order from Kroger but it took four days to get about half of what I ordered so we did have to go into a store yesterday to try to pick up a few extra things. I did notice that last week just a few folks were wearing gloves and/or masks. Now it appears to be about 50% doing so.

I hope this social distancing stuff helps reduce the danger of this virus. There are times when I thing we may be acting silly (especially those that are hoarding), but if we greatly reduce the spread and the number of deaths they it will be worth it to say we overreacted.

Family is everything!

Life is precious. We don’t have forever. We have now. This moment. We can choose to love our lives now.

I went by to see my 82 year old father Wednesday. We visited without coming any closer than about 10 feet. He's being as careful as he can and it was very strange for both of us. He's had to stop seeing mom at the nursing facility and can't go to church. It's hard on everyone but especially the seniors.

Don't feel alone. We're all in it together! He was thinking of you and made sure to keep you safe.

Good find Scags. It's all a matter of perspective.

I just returned for a HEB and for all of the precautions they have taken, I find they missed 1 thing: nobody is wiping down the dividers used to separate customers orders,
I mentioned it to store management as I was leaving, hopefully they take that into consideration.

Then went to my daughters house to drop some stuff off and pick some stuff up and it was very strange to not be able to hug her frown

Fortunately I will be able to face time with her banana

However, thanks for the posting.

My elderly folks are just the opposite, they just came in last night from being on the road since late January. They travel with BASS, FLW, and MLF. You can bet there was a bunch of hugging going on. When you get to be my age, and especially THEIR age, it's pretty obvious that the clock is ticking. No way in hell are we going to avoid each other from fear.

It’s getting pretty boring for me too, but we’ve got to do what we’ve go to do. Just think what it would be like if we didn’t have the tff, there is some pretty amazing people on here

Trebor - you have to do whatever it takes to stay healthy. If that means donning a mask, then do it. If it means keeping your distance from other people, then do it. This will pass and when it is over, you definitely need to make arrangements to see your Son.


Be safe,

Interesting observation today, families walking the hood, seems everyone is doing yard work or something around the house. It’s like there is life pumped back into the hood, circa the 1960s if you will

Street traffic has to be down by at least 40% in my neighborhood

It’s very weird to see rush hour traffic be so minimal
