Funny thing about the emojis - Facebook created a new one and apparently it played havoc with everything - that's why the occasional freezes were happening for some people.

The Live thing was really fun tonight - I had a great time.

After, I went for a drive and on the way home decided to brave Ralph's just to see what it was like. It wasn't any more crowded than when it used to be in the evenings before all this. But it was interesting to see what was in short supply. Not meat. Not chicken. Not even canned products. They had plenty of everything and I actually bought almost nothing. The ice cream cases were, to me, the hardest hit - very few things and the ones that were left were not things you'd want. Fascinating. And the frozen food section, while not bereft of product, had been picked over. I got the last two Red Baron pepperoni pizzas - I rather enjoyed the one I had last week. And I got the last three Diet Coke Caffeine free twelve packs, which were on sale so I saved about eight bucks there. Plenty of regular Diet Coke, isn't that interesting? Before all this, no one bought the Caffeine free. Go know. I didn't check the paper products but I assume there weren't any because THAT insanity has not abated. I was in and out in ten minutes.

Good evening. George, we love Schwan's. My mom has gotten food from them for years and a lot of it is really good. She's to the point now where he Schwan's man knows what she wants so she has him go look in her freezer and he brings her what he thinks she'd like and she writes a check. He's always right so she must be pretty predictable. She does look through the catalogue too. I've actually been thinking about it, every time I see the yellow truck go by. They drive right up to your house and the frozen food is all on their truck. So you tell them what you want and they go out and get it. Or you can order on line

BK I saw your test last night, I don't know if I saw any of it live, but did see a bit of it later

I'm getting really close to catching up on my back log of briefs. One more big one due on Tuesday and then just the regular madness. I've gotten enough hours in that I should be good to take a week off in the next couple months. I'm going to wait until the virus is under control so things are open and I can spend time with mom

So, my neighbor stopped by today. What we ended up arguing about the other day was the extent of the virus in the county and especially from Tyson. Well, today he came over and said "oh my god, you were right about everything" I don't know that anyone has ever said that to me, lol. Sadly, I was right. Today they said that 669 people who work at the plant tested positive. There are reports that people put cold compresses on their heads before going in so they can pass the temperature taking. Also I heard second hand, that the district health called someone who tested positive to tell them the news. Even though the person had been told don't go anywhere, when the call came in he was at Walmart!

Some time ago, Schwan's instituted a fuel surcharge. If you ordered online, it's only $1.75. If you order more than $50 worth, there's no surcharge. However, if you order at the truck, it's a $3.99 surcharge. Anytime that I want to order, I make sure to pre-order online. Rarely, however, do I order $50 worth.

The plant is closing down for 3-4 days to clean. It's one of the biggest beef processing plants in the country- at least it's Tyson's biggest. It employs 4500 people - not all have been tested yet - and processes enough beef in one day to feed 18 million people. Oh and another topper, the county where the plant is located refuses to share how many people are hospitalized. it's going up here and is expected to keep rising.

Didn't know that. Occasionally I'll see a truck just sitting in a parking lot and will stop and buy a few things. I have been thinking about ordering online. Does it still get delivered on the truck?

Tyson is giving them a $1000 bonus if they keep working. They say if you're sick, you can still qualify, but it's based on attendance, so you know people are going to go to work even if they are sick. And there are a lot of people from African and Central American countries, so they are claiming a language problem is causing the problems....yeah right

cillaliz · « **Reply #136 on:** April 30, 2020, 10:01:11 PM »

Lots of other workers are terrified of getting it so they are not going in at all. It's a mess, but it's making it dangerous for all of us.

Anyway, things are getting worse here, so of course the federal court announced the grand jury is being called back in and they will soon be starting jury trials again. I think that's nuts

cillaliz · « **Reply #138 on:** April 30, 2020, 10:08:28 PM »

I have a hearing there in the morning. I will be wearing an n95 mask. The prosecutor thinks I'm nuts....I think he's nuts...Everything is pretty normal, lol

Anyway, enough of my rant. I have to finish a couple more things tonight, they shouldn't take long. Better sign off and get them done. After my hearing in the morning I can come home and stay......although I may stop at the farm and home store for some grass seed.

BTW, YouTube is now working properly - not a single hiccup this evening and it archived and posted it to the page immediately after it was done. And I received an e-mail that it was starting.

On a happy note, I did get my stimulus money today. That was nice.
