Reveal hidden contents Good morning, CPA! *sets out coffee and toast* I'm thinking I should actually follow the rules and call 311 before I set off to the pharmacy and work today. I keep hearing short police siren bursts in the distance which makes me think they might actually be stopping people who are out and about. I also plan to gather up enough work for the next two days so I can stay home, so long as Jessica agrees to feed my shop critters. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 31, 2020 Hi there Purple! LAGIE! *huggles* They called up on the army on our side. Because the people weren't listening to the police. And the army can take better action cause they can threaten people with weapons. Were if our police just looks at a person then the police gets punished. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 31, 2020 Hi Spirit! We got stay-at-home orders yesterday, but there are too many exceptions for it to really be enforceable. I doubt the police will be stopping anyone. We shall see. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 31, 2020 Our lockdown started last week Friday officially. Our president addressed the nation last night again trying to urge people to stay at home. But some people are just so arrogant and think it will never reach them. Not to mention it's the end of the month so most of the elderly and disability people go fetch their money from government offices. And they aren't following the rules Share this post Link to post
Posted March 31, 2020 Our PM called the populace 'hard-headed' and said Covid-19 was 'harder and badder' than any if them, to try and get through to the idiots who keep congregating. Now the police are finally stopping people. Share this post Link to post

Posted March 31, 2020 @purplehaze - LOL! i'm not that bad yet!! on a good day (aka payday) i'll see two people that come to my office - the mail guy and the UPS guy. he has the checks. but normally, it's just the mail guy. unless it's a sub, then i see no one. and this was also before all this covid stuff happened, so.... i'm home today, but in the office tomorrow. my Governor has closed everything indefinitely, so that's my retail job in that mix.... as well as the library. i mean i still have a book from the library out, but once i finish reading it, when can i return it? i also have some books on hold on my card. maybe in May? but - i don't have a shortage of books to read....i started a reread of my Sidney Sheldon books, and there's also a Harry Potter reread, and a few other shorter series to reread (one series is 3 books, the other 2 very large books) and my Sue Grafton (A-X are rereads and then Y) - so i'm good with the books! 📖 Share this post Link to post

I have so many book series I could be rereading, but I'm actually working my way through the piles of books I've brought home from my thrift shop over the last three years. What better time than now to get them read and returned? Share this post Link to post

I have three and I have finished reading them, but can't return them because the library has even closed its return book drop. They are sending out emails just about every day telling us that they have lots of e-books available and getting new ones every day, but I have never warmed up to e-books. I have no shortage of books to read, either, as I have a lot that I have gotten at yard sales and such that I never got around to reading. Seems like this will be a good time to start! 4 hours ago, DragonSpirit009 said: Not to mention it's the end of the month so most of the elderly and disability people go fetch their money from government offices.

Posted March 31, 2020 I love actual books, too, but I've noticed since I had a retinal detachment with the ensuing surgery that I can see the computer screen better and read faster on the computer. I still usually pick real books. I like to know how far I am in the book, and it's hard to tell with an e-book. I like the feel of the pages, too. I never thought much about the smell though.

I like the feel of the pages, too. this as well. and i like being able to flip back though the book when a character makes a revelation somewhat in the middle of the book that you remember the foreshadowing somewhere near the beginning so you can go back and reread it. a retinal detachment sounds like it could be a bit of a headache.

I had to be patched for a month or so and then after that I had double vision and had to wear a pirate patch for 10 months. Arrrr.. I had the nickname of "The Pirate". Share this post Link to post
Posted March 31, 2020 oh that does not sound good at all! but it's better now, yes? Share this post Link to post
Posted April 1, 2020 It's better, yes. Just a little double vision now as opposed to not being able to walk without the patch. But I can't read with that eye unless the print is huge. Share this post Link to post

Posted April 1, 2020 Hi peeps! Been MIA a bit because of my virtual ponies, sorry about that. My dad hurt his foot on Sunday and now he needs to work from home. Fortunately it looks to be just a sprain and not a fracture so we got that going for us. And I totally haven’t been writing fanfics for the last three days. Share this post Link to post
Posted April 1, 2020 A good early morning to all. ROFLOL! I know I'm really not supposed to use textspeak, but there's just no better way to say it! Share this post Link to post
