Good Morning People . . . :D

FYI: Just found this website that is very informative in a number of ways from A - Z, especially to save money . . . From Totally Free "Stuff" to Discounts galore on so many different items & a lot of "How To's" too. . . They even have a local website for my area and might have one for yours too . . . So I thought I would share with everyone, hey who wouldn't want to save some money and even learn more "work a rounds" . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)

I took a quick look and it does looks very interesting. I'll take a more in-depth look later. Thanks, always looking to save a little time as well as money.

Good morning! :)

A bit chilly for us in Fl this morning at 55o.....with all the rain we had last night, the air feels crisp and cool.

Expecting a grocery delivery today; hoping there are not too many replacements; had to put 2nd choices in my order, but that's OK, cause there are some folks who don't have any choice!

Hola .. :(

Sometimes, I think my commentary on the current state of things is just a bummer for most all of you to read, you would rather stay more sweet and light .. if so, my apology ..

I understand ..

Too many times lately, I've just felt lost and alone .. time almost seems to have come to a standstill .. there is no "normal" anymore .. plans can't be made, the Future is as unclear as it's ever been, IMO .. the News beats me over the head day in and day out, yet it's tough to turn away ..

    I think the news is beating us all over the head.

    No apology needed, Willie! We're all in the same boat, and hopefully, it won't sink!

    I give myself about 1/2 hour to watch the news, because invariably, it brings me down......additionally, it has permeated every aspect of our lives, that you can't really get away from it....it's everywhere! My page on F/B is fairly light, but dang, it gets through.
    If I do have the 'screen' on, I'd rather watch a Disney film on Netflix or Dr. Pol, or Planet Earth...I know the news will filter through! I may be tagged as hiding, but that's for my own sanity, cause I can get quite wrapped up in all this horror which seems like a bad sci-fi movie.
    My husband is a lot tougher than I, and he keeps a cool head, but I'm a mush, so we blend well together!

    Well, that's one of the reasons we're all here, support, and, sometimes, diversion. We need both of those.

    Yes, try to limit media exposure, especially on the "cable news" entertainment shows, as they are non-stop on the same subject, and often hours on the same story. Uh, saw that the first time, don't need to watch it like Ground Hog Day!

    You're not alone. I'm trying to stay positive and keep busy, but everything is knocking me down. It's hard for me to feel a sense of purpose right now, I'm trying, but it's a real struggle. The hardest thing is the possibility of my loved ones dying, and not being able to protect them. They think wearing a cloth mask when they go out will keep them from getting covid. I tried telling them that's not how it works, tried explaining, but they just got ...... and told me to shut up.

    Reading about other peoples struggles and worries makes me feel less alone, so please don't feel bad about that. I'm trying to limit how much time I spend on news sites, I see the blame game in full swing with politics, and sensationalism is not something I enjoy (or politics, mud slinging, etc.).

    Anyway, peace man.

    I don't watch much news, it got to be too much. I received a package through DHL today and took it without my mask and gloves. Then sprayed virus spray everywhere and washed my hands but thinking, what a dummy I am.

    I don't have regular TV cause I don't want it. My TV gets Amazon Prime, Hulu, NetFlix, etc. I watch a movie at night while playing on my iPad.

    Also FB is usually set on messenger so I see little news. It's just too depressing.

    Good afternoon everyone! I hope everyone has a good day today!

    My DH keeps finding excuses to leave the house. We have no face masks, gloves or sanitizer. I'm starting to worry he's going to get us sick but I can't stop him. If you pray please pray for us. I'm worried he's going to get us killed. :(

    On a positive note ::

    I am on Book 3 of Jeffrey Archer's The Clifton Chronicles Series .. highly recommended, real page turner, sucks you in, incredible cast of characters .. I'm amazed this has not been adapted for a TV series ..

    https://www.amazon.com/Jeffrey-Arch...&sprefix=the+clifton+,digital-text,175&sr=1-2

    Also, found a pretty good site for printed reading material here ::

    @Home | New & Used Books from ThriftBooks

    Escaping into Books .. it's what I did as a child and a young man .. later in life, it was more of a habit than anything .. can't hardly fall asleep without reading .. Now, I'm letting my mind drift into the narratives again ..

    And thanks to all of you for the supportive words .. :)

    My SIL is still working here. My Dd .gs and I haven't been out in over 3 weeks. I have no reason to get that close to my SIL so I don't. When he's home the only thing we both touch is the bathroom doorknobs. I wash my hands after opening the door so I don't have to touch the knobs. No gloves or masks here either but we do have soap and a bit of sanitizer.

    There is no pressing reason for me to go anywhere but the workshop and the house .. I'm fine with food and other stuff .. so, I have been limiting myself .. I'm still taking in work, I just have a sign out that says "Knock if the Blue Truck is Out Front" .. what are they going to do, arrest me .. ?? I'm following the rules of distance, etc ..

    The thing is, this time of year, I generally get a good case of the Wanderlust .. it's getting warmer, but not super hot, the trees are budding, some Spring Flowers are up, it's just time to get on a Road Trip somewhere, Nashville or Memphis would be my picks, an easy 4-5 hours away .. then, I'd take in some good, live music, get some fine dry-rub ribs, toss down some libations, visit a few folks ..

    I was slated to go to Myrtle Beach .. no dice ..

    This durn blasted virus is stealing my Life .. I know I sound selfish as hell, people out there are suffering ..

    I don't have any problem with the "Stay At Home" orders .. (driving from the house to the workshop and back is not creating any issues) .. I'm not going to flout that and, hopefully, those will shave some time off the duration of this thing .. at least the dunce that runs the Great State of Florida finally grew a brain .. or borrowed one ..
