Notice how I completely avoided the word "Saving(s)" there.

I'm up, I'm up - maybe six hours of sleep.

You say saving and I say savings, you say craving and I say cravings...

I use them interchangeably, because I really don't care about which is correct, just as I do antiviral and antibiotic.

I agree the first one doesn't matter as everyone knows what you mean, however there is a an important difference between the last two.

I am tired of reading that as an older person I should stay home to avoid the virus

Jane · « **Reply #36 on:** March 08, 2020, 09:32:21 AM »

Oh, and we now have one confirmed in our county.

One woman on Facebook just suggested that all events be cancelled, large and small, public transportation should be shut down, schools should be shut down, stores should be shut down. And she follows that with, "This isn't panic." Uh huh.

I shall now be on my way to the paperback show - will be interesting to see the attendance, which is usually huge. And I do wonder if this thing hasn't impacted small theater in LA.

FJL. Yes, Will Eno was there. I don’t know that you would call it previews. It’s a limited run show just until the end of the month and last night was the first performance.

The theatre was about 2/3 full.

Will was saying that he was grateful about how many people came as apparently there were a lot of cancellations or no shows because of the virus scare

We three (my friend Maria, Will and I) about the possibility of this scare causing shows , especially ones just opening, to close due to fear of illness keeping people away.

And there were gel sanitizer dispensers and boxes of tissues strategically placed all around the lobby, near the snacks, the mailing list sign up, the book sale cart, etc.

Not panic

I don't know what is the best solution to stop the virus from spreading. I saw the train between DC & NY was shut down, didn't read the article to separate fact from headline.

This morning in church the Pastor announced that in “passing the peace” people should do what made them feel comfortable, be in the usual handshake or hug or just a wave or a bow , smile or head nod.

vixmom · « **Reply #43 on:** March 08, 2020, 11:53:21 AM »

Most people were still shaking hands and hugging

vixmom · « **Reply #44 on:** March 08, 2020, 11:56:09 AM »

We were also told that it was fine if we wanted to forego the wine during communion and just consume the bread instead.

One of the many times my crazy sister was mad at me her cat had a problem and she asked Keith what to do. He said I would know. Because she was mad at me she would not get let me help jeopardizing her cat. She left the room, asked me what to do, then followed my sister & took care of the problem.

Trump getting rid of the pandemic response team just because Obama set it up reminds me of my sisters actions. Just because we don't like someone doesn't mean that don't have a good idea or two. I hate PETA but still recognize when they do something good.

The Pastors and communion assistants all also made a point of obviously using the antibacterial gel before serving communion

Which we always do every week anyway but usually it’s behind the scenes and perhaps not noticed, this week it was done deliberately and in full view of the congregation

If it weren't Daylight Saving it would be warmer at this hour.

In the heat of summer dog & people walks need to be done very early.

Children do not want to get up and go to school.

This may be too creepy to record, but since they keep saying this virus is nothing to worry about unless you;'re 60 or older - but I'm not 60 until May, so I guess I;m safe fo two months.

Tune of “Lotta Love”

It’s gonna take a lotta gloves
To keep us safe from fear
It’s gonna take a lotta gloves
But one thing’s really clear.

Though you may find this surprising
And think this can’t be so:
If you need sanitizing
Supplies are low.

It’s gonna take a lotta gloves
To get us through a plague
It’s gonna take a lotta gloves
So let’s not be too vague.

That if you’ve been out there dawdlin’
And don’t even have Purell
Now I hope this isn’t maudlin
But it’s been swell.

Gotta lotta gloves.
Gotta lotta gloves…

I posted that and then looked to see what Nicolette Larson had been up to

FJL · « **Reply #54 on:** March 08, 2020, 01:10:30 PM »

I hadn't heard that she'd passed away years ago.

Another three hours and the story was revised. Again. The cats said screw you to their dinner, so I'm at a loss on how to proceed. I may just let them suffer until treat time.

Pastor announced at the beginning of the service this morning that our board of elders decided to drop the passing of the peace for a while. He even said that he would not be shaking people's hands afterward. So, we didn't have the passing of the peace, but when I left church, there was pastor shaking people's hands. I guess he forgot.

So far I have not contracted the virus.

I saw her in a tour of Pump Boys and Dinettes back in the early 1980s. I recall she didn't have a great deal of stage presence, but her voice was wonderful, especially on the song Sister.
