chillii Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 We've got very low numbers here and my area nothing at all for a 50k radius , was 70 but they found one case. But being a tourist area there are no tourists at the moment so hopefully it stays clean with them not coming though until God knows when again. l won't be going into any crowds for a long time yet though none the less.

Still text and talk everyday, send each other articles, etc. and virtual dates where we watch some of our shows together. Neither of us are high risk, but we both know and have family that are, some very. Before used to see each other four days a week or so, not counting vacations. Link to post Share on other sites

preraph Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I would love to drink some champagne, but I guess I'm not ever supposed to now that I'm on blood thinners. Link to post Share on other sites
CaliforniaGirl Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I don't care how frivolous his sounds: I daydream about getting my hair done. Blonder. Balayage, because it takes a long time and four hands. My guy always offers me coffee or tea. I always ask for the coffee. It's good coffee. I imagine how it feels, being just taken care of for three hours, just getting pampered, and leaving the salon feeling beautiful again. Walking outside into the sunshine with my sunshine hair.

central Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 We are being MORE careful now that things are reopening, as other people are not being as careful as they were (and there are those who selfishly and stupidly did and still do put themselves and others at risk by not observing distancing guidelines and not wearing masks). However, we did go out to a small local wine shop with our good friends and neighbors that also serves wine - we were the last four customers before the shutdown, and among the first four when they reopened. The shop removed many of the few tables they had, so they are widely separated - they're following the rules. Aside from that, we're being more careful when shopping for groceries and essentials than before. We also went to a lovely state park with friends (separate cars), but we all wore masks and kept our distance - especially from other people. It was a weekday, so less crowded - we would not go on a weekend, just as we don't shop for essentials when stores are busy. We'll continue being careful until testing is far more widespread, and/or there is a vaccine or treatment that's effective for older people like us. Link to post Share on other sites
sothereiwas Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 New threat to the economy: Americans are saving like it's the 1980s: Quote New York (CNN Business)Americans are slashing their spending, hoarding cash and shrinking their credit card debt as they fear their jobs could disappear during the coronavirus pandemic. US credit card debt suddenly reversed course in March and fell by the largest percentage in more than 30 years. At the same time, savings rates climbed to levels unseen since Ronald Reagan was in the White House. The dramatic shifts in consumer behavior reflect the unprecedented turmoil in the US economy caused by the pandemic. Although caution is a logical response to that uncertainty, hunkering down also poses a risk to the recovery in an economy dominated by consumer spending. I'm sure it will all work out. Just print more money. Is this what it's going to be like after the lockdown? Link to post Share on other sites

It's a hoot, if you want to try it you can generally get some basic training and rent a firearm in a local range. Well, not now obviously. Later. Link to post Share on other sites

Compelling...I mean I had always assumed I'd just throw my cooking at them...that seems to send everybody else running...this could be a more efficient option, though...I'll revisit it after we're all open for business again.
