DR vixmom, real estate is cheaper in the midwest.  Still, that place seems awfully big for just Randy and Jo.  It looks about the size of the house they are currently in.

Yes, I may have said here before that we live in a house that we could not afford even in the Cincinnati or Dayton suburbs, much less on the east or west coasts.

DR Elmore, they'll be a lot farther from Middletown now, but somewhat closer to Oxford.

The most famous use of scordatura is the solo violin in Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre.  The solo violin is instructed to tune the E-string to E-flat so that the open strings G,D, and A, with E-flat,
are not perfect fifths and it sounds like a poorly tuned violin.

[ChasSmith]

Wow. Damn. I think I knew that once.

Now I've got to listen to a couple of recordings.

[ChasSmith]

DR Ginny, several years ago I was browsing some cost of living comparisons, and it always surprised me that Cincinnati ranked as one of the most affordable of the large cities. But these websites or charts I was looking at didn't go into any detail about each place's surrounding areas, which I supposed should logically be even less expensive. And of course these comparisons will change over time, so who knows what I'd find now. It sounds like you're in an ideal situation there. I think that whole area is damned nice.

[ChasSmith]

(To clarify, it surprised me because I think of Cincinnati as a really fine metropolis!)

[ChasSmith]

The articles in the NY Times and elsewhere about individuals who are very largely responsible for store shelves being empty and how they've been profiteering off of that, are just sickening. I'm mind-boggled that they even have the nerve to come forward and be exposed in national publications. And they clearly believe that because of Amazon, eBay, etc., cracking down on this, that THEY are victims and heroes. You can't twist logic much more than that. These people are scum.

[ChasSmith]

(Thank you Charles, now tell us how you really feel!).

[elmore3003]

I think the chili has turned out quite good.  I won't know for sure before I have some, but it looks and smells delightful.  I'm letting it all sit and blend for the next couple of hours, and once it's cool I'll pack it up and freeze most of it.

The schlep to and from Middletown after dark is most alarming.

Good afternoon!

So, communion was canceled. Sunday school was canceled. Wednesday’s Lenten services are canceled. And the day care has been canceled for at least three days (a spring break extension).

We had services.

All physical gatherings have been cancelled at our church.  Service was held this morning via live feed, only our two Pastors, our Deacon of children’s services and our organist were present.  From the comments it appeared to be most of the regulars were in attendance

THIS PANIC IS A SCAM!

And, frankly, THE CONSTANT NEWS COVERAGE IS MAKING IT WORSE.

Yes, there is a virus going around, but it's really only dangerous to older people, like myself, or people with underlying health conditions of a certain type.

Although my hunch is that there's a political motive behind it, I don't really know who's responsible, but this PUBLIC PANIC to get water and toilet paper and other goods from grocery stores is bulls**t!

Yet, businesses are shutting down; planes aren't flying; people are "coming to blows" in stores; and the madness isn't stopping.

THE WORLD IS NOT COMING TO AN END!

Absolutely.  Despicable people

I was responding to your statement that there is a political motive behind it

DR George, how was the movie?

We both thought it was very good!  Of course, the Pixar movies tend to manipulate your emotions, and this no exception, but it really was a good movie.  It got an 87% Fresh rating and a 95% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes!

[Jane]

From Bruce:

Back from a good show and a very small audience but a good one.  About half the reservations were no-shows - would have been a nice house, otherwise.  The theater has spent a lot of money making sure everything is clean, the box-office, concession, and ushers wear gloves - but you can't fight hysteria - I'm sure the no-shows were at the market.

Were you able to let everyone know what steps you took to do this? 

[Jane]

I will go to the market early while mosdt of my neighborhood sleeps.  I need to purchase a few items, and when I return, I will make a vat of chili.

If you see any green cabbage, and not the weird kind, please grab one for me

[George]

From Susanna Moross this morning:

[Jane]

And I would kill for one more room!

Do they have a room for you?

[George]

Awww....Jon Provost posted some pictures from his 10th birthday party.....one of the guests was Susan Gordon!  Jon, Flip Mark (friend of DR JANE), Jay North....don't know the boy sitting next to Susan.

This is from Facebook, so I don't know if you will be able to see it if you are not a friend of Jon's there.

I can see it and I'm not Jon's FB friend.  I wonder if you just need to have Facebook to see it?

Don't be naïve.

I'm not denying there is a virus, but I have never seen a widespread panic like we are currently experiencing.

[elmore3003]

I was referring to the studio apartment I live in.

[elmore3003]

I tried the chili.  It needed more jalapenos, salt, and chili powder.  I've made better.

I'm up, I'm up - a little over seven hours of sleep.  Bad allergy attack at two in the morning, took my pill and it had abated by three or so.  Due to the rain, I expect.

[elmore3003]

I talked to JKoshie.  I think we are both a bit stir crazy.  He's nsupposed to fly to a wedding in Mexico on March 25 and he's waiting on the news it will be canceled.  He thinks it has much to do with ther couple seeing how the resort reacts about rescheduling and deposits.

[elmore3003]

The chili is now in the freezer, and I saved a pint for dinner tonight and maybe tomorrow.
