Good morning everyone! I hope everyone has a good day today!
I have about 6 orders I placed throughout April. Anyone want to take bets on if they actually arrive? Sigh. I'm really tired of all this. I just want it to be over.
Edit: Our stores all still use plastic bags. Even if you ask for paper you seldom get it. My state bites.

Good morning/afternoon all. It is overcast and cool here today. We had some bad storms south of us yesterday. I'm glad they didn't hit us, however, the weather is still bad for my body. I take my pills and hope I don't drop anything on the floor that I really need.
I read an article yesterday and we are going to have the 3rd stage of reopenings starting real soon. Buffets will be allowed to open but they will not be self-serve, an employee will have to serve the items. I'm looking forward to a trip to Golden Corral, myself.
Hola ..
I don't know what to think about that .. kind of defeats the whole concept of an All You Can Eat Buffet .. hopefully, you can walk around and jot down what you want them to bring you .. I guess it's better than nada ..
Maybe they'll put the server behind the glass, with the food, to dish out
Or something similar. I suspect it's to minimize how many hands touch the ladles.

I believe you are right.Maybe they'll put the server behind the glass, with the food, to dish out

It is such a nice day out, that I am doing some yard work. The only thing is the humidity, it is overcast and the. temp is 69 with 81% humidity. Well, my break is over so I'll have to get back to the edging of the curb.
Sheesh! The real estate market has changed and now uses the Ebay bidding method when trying to purchase a house. As Janet may have mentioned Kate and Brian are house shopping. The homes are listed for 'a price'. But when you make an offer you also have to specify a dollar increment and a max you are willing to pay. Then just like Ebay if someone bids more than you, your bid automatically increases by the amount your set each time 'till you reach your max. Makes trying to buy a house even more complicated because you don't know the final price you may wind up paying for it. What a crazy world we live in.
Good morning. It's a beautiful morning here.
I was just out on the deck putzing around while the birds were singing up a storm in the trees. Isn't it funny how you can hear so many birds making so much noise, but you can't see any of them? There was a lot of activity at the hummer feeders yesterday and it looks like maybe 2 pair of goldfinches are hanging around this year, how nice. When the hummers first showed up I hadn't put up the feeders yet. Don't you now they kept hanging around right where the feeders usually hang! They were patient with me though while I mixed up a batch of nectar and it didn't take long for them to find it.

Yesterday I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with Independence Personal Choice 65 trying to figure out their Rx by mail system. What a mess. After multiple transfers and getting disconnected twice it turns out that when my doc calls in a Rx, I then have to call in to tell them to ship it. Huh? Of course they kept telling me I had to order the Rx. Last time I checked I still hadn't gotten my Dr. license so that made no sense. I'd gotten 2 Rx delivered to me just fine a couple months ago with just the doc calling it in, but I also received letters at the same time that I had to contact OptumRx to order the medicine - while I was holding said medicine in my hand. Nobody knows why I got those letters. OptumRx.com can't find me in their system and then I'm told that according to my plan I can't go there. Huh? No way to see what Rx are in process and no indication when it's to be renewed. The IBX Personal Choice site does show the 2 Rx I'd gotten in the past. I was also told to go to the IBXpress site to see my meds. That didn't work either because they're doing maintenance on the site.
In the end they asked me to take a survey to let them know how satisfied I was with their service. On a scale of 0-10 they got 3 zeros!! After all that I was ready to start my cocktail hour early!!
We had Humana the past 2 years and that was pretty good, but it takes a year and hours on the phone for them to reimburse us for payments made to 2 docs that were out of network. And it takes 7 months to replace a check. At least their pharmacy site was wonderful and they'd let me know when it was time to renew or needed a new Rx.
We're fairly intelligent people and have computer access so if we're having this much trouble navigating this stuff I wonder how other people who don't understand this stuff manage. Arrrrrrgh!

Good morning!
Took a bit of a hiatus from the net!
Our birds also are singing away and we're especially enjoying the cardinal couple! We saw the female actually feeding the male, or it may have been just a romantic peck.
For whatever reason, our bird population is heavier this year than last year........still wondering why, but it doesn't really matter cause they're here this year.

Morning, lizards.
Still soggy in the PNW, just as we like it.
Don't think we'll ever get back to "normal", and too soon to speculate on what the new "normal" will look like. Will we transition to always wearing masks when out? Seems that some of the Asian countries where that's been the norm - out of consideration for fellow humans - have been able to handle this one a little better.
Than again, with the noisy few ranting about their "right" to do whatever (my right to stay healthy doesn't seem to matter to them), will mask wearing become political? (Has it already?) Camo makeup and assault rifles at a State Capital? Uh, if that were a mob of color, I think the official reaction would have been quite different.
Yes, "unfair" to lock down the healthy, but the testing debacle really hasn't left much choice. Massive testing, the ill could be quarantined. And might show that covid isn't as deadly as thought. Or not. Heck, if they're only testing those who are showing symptoms, there's no way of really knowing how wide-spread it really is. The not knowing is the problem.
Various people have been talking about global pandemics for many years. Other than the 69 page plan the Obama admin gave to Trump, I'm not aware of any other "official" plan, and, of course, it was trashed. So, of curse, no way to know if it was a sensible plan or not, but I suspect it was better than denial and finger pointing.
Meanwhile, maybe it's time for us all to take the time to re-evaluate our priorities.

I was reading about the open carry protests here in Texas this morning. Groups are using this COVID situation for publicity, standing outside businesses that are shut down with assault rifles. Sherriff offices are getting involved, showing up, tensions are rising. One wrong move is all it would take to cause a really bad situation. Guns on both sides, civilians nearby, and jumpy LEO's surrounded by assault weapons ... makes the potential for violence high.Morning, lizards.

Good morning everyone!
We have a large flock of birds living in our bamboo. We've never seen even one of the birds but we hear them! If we go out at night we disturb them and we hear feathers being ruffled and birds shifting around. This has gone on for over 20 years and we haven't ever seen even one bird. I don't mind them but I'd love to know what kind of bird we have living here rent free.

Are you asking me about my tablet or talking to someone else? My tablet is dead. It appears we got all the water out but the damage was done the first night. I've found a few refurbished that are under $50. My DH and I had decided we each get $50 of the stimulus money to get whatever we want. Guess I'll be buying a fire8. Whatever I get I'll never bring it in the bathroom no matter what the circumstances are at the time.Any luck with your ereader?
I can't remember how many books I have submerged during a bubble bath. Yes, one of my enjoyments is reading while soaking in the tub with a cup of coffee. I was able to spend some time in Hawaii one time. Having a tub was a requirement. After 6+ months on a ship with nothing but showers, I was looking forward to a bubble bath. Except, it was a six-pack on ice in the sink and not coffee.
I decided we needed something out of the ordinary for dinner tonight, so I have a couple of Cornish Game Hens in the oven. Some stuffing and mixed veggies will top it off.
I hope everyone is having a good day.
