Maybe some dear readers think they can catch this from posting. Nothing would surprise me anymore.

Well, Ralph's did not disappoint. NO shopping carts available. People with two and three carts loaded to the brim, emptying shelves of everything in sight because they are morons. Some must have been spending six or seven hundred dollars. I spent thirteen dollars. I was also wrong about Diet Coke - plenty of everything else but only about eight twelve-packs left, probably because it was on sale at a great price. Three for 9.99. I lugged the three to the checkout - lines were not horrible because every station was open and I managed to find one with only two people ahead of me who were clearly not stockpiling - so in and out in about twelve minutes. The insanity is palpable with the Earth people.

Is he able to do that?

My friend said her daughter was instructed to work from home.

DR Vixmom I am glad you enjoyed your NYC outing with your friend.

Were they limiting paper goods?

Broadway (shows) have been shut down for a month. I wonder how all this would be playing out if you take Facebook and Twitter out of the equation.

Bruce, I wish you would explain to me what the death of almost 5,000 people worldwide has to do with Facebook?

The theater is asking if we would be willing to postpone the opening of our show by one week.

TCB · « **Reply #133 on:** March 12, 2020, 11:40:13 PM »

That would mean we would open on April 17, instead of April 10.

TCB · « **Reply #134 on:** March 12, 2020, 11:41:57 PM »

I really don’t understand what that would accomplish.

TCB · « **Reply #135 on:** March 12, 2020, 11:44:30 PM »

From what they told me, they expect the crisis to be over by then.

Hi, Tom.

TCB · « **Reply #137 on:** March 12, 2020, 11:49:37 PM »

I don’t understand that, but what do I know. I have no life.

Hello, George.

TCB · « **Reply #139 on:** March 12, 2020, 11:51:24 PM »

Sorry about the Queen tribute.

TCB · « **Reply #140 on:** March 12, 2020, 11:52:07 PM »

Hopefully you are still available when they reschedule.

So, I was going to run the light board for The Bold The Young and The Murdered at Olympia Little Theatre and their final tech week was just going to start this Sunday.

A little earlier tonight, I got an e-mail from the director saying that the whole production was being postponed until next season.

George · « **Reply #145 on:** March 12, 2020, 11:58:13 PM »

The theater is going to be dark for the next month or so. $:-\$

Also, the Washington Center has announced several other cancellations...one was for this Saturday, Harmony Sweepstakes, the a cappella competition. I loved working for that. A LOT of good singing groups have performed over the years...and some not so good.

TCB · « **Reply #148 on:** March 13, 2020, 12:07:25 AM »

I’m thinking that our show may get postponed, but longer than a week.

What has to do with Facebook is HYSTERIA. PANIC. People going nuts. There were MANY more than 5,000 deaths with the swine flu - like 70,000 more, worldwide - I don't recall even knowing about it let alone any panic and hysteria and crazy town that is happening strictly because of social media. That is what it has to do with Facebook.
