Medical clearances have been faxed. Big sigh of relief.

Great news, Larry!

Just sent this eBlast:

Hello, wonderful and loyal customers. As much as it pains me to have to do this, we have to take a bit of a break due to what's happening in the world. It will get better and hopefully sooner than later. This will, of course, delay shipping - I think we've only been late on shipping by a few days once since we opened our doors. Pressing plants are down and so are the printers, but our shipping department (well, our shipping person) needs to stay healthy and safe, too. We realize that it's irritating on certain levels, but we hope you'll all be patient and understanding, as we all must be right now.

We're trying to at least get the last of our orders out that we have in stock, but that will stop after today. It's hard to predict how long this will go on, but I'm a cockeyed optimist and keeping positive thoughts, always.

You can still order CDs and books at this time, which would actually be very helpful to all us labels. They just won't ship for a couple of weeks.

Please stay safe and look towards the light. Don't fall prey to panic and hysteria. Perhaps take a break from Facebook

We'll keep you updated and please know how thankful we all are for your loyalty and business.

I got that eBlast.

I had to settle for the 96% Lindt.

I wish I preferred the higher percentage. It is just too bitter for me.

I have many sweet treats here - bite-sized Snickers, M&M's peanut and peanut butter (snack size), Milk Duds, Charleston Chews, and more. From my Rite-Aid run the other night.

Nodded off for a few minutes. Still waiting for the helper's mom.

I just burned a Blu-ray for my niece. Now, I'll watch a bit of it to make sure that it all worked, then I'll probably stop by for a moment to deliver it and check up on her and her mom (my sister), but not stay too long.

I don't like it that high of a percentage.

What happened to everybody.

I went for a walk. It is a beautiful sunny day here with no wind.

Pain-free vibes for DR Elmore. I hope some embarrassment was all you suffered.

Jeanne · « **Reply #102 on:** March 17, 2020, 03:19:47 PM »

Mega surgery vibes to DR Elmore, as well.

I'm sending them now as so many deliveries have been delayed.

Jane, I'm glad you were able to go to your doctor's appointment today. We stilll need to stay in good health, even if that's just a check-up and some assurances. I have a dental cleaning next week that I hope to keep.

I have a fb friend in LA who did receive his delivery though much of his order wasn't available. He ordered chicken and got eggs instead.

They do keep their areas clean at the dentist. I would want to know about the waiting room. Hopefully none of us need emergency work done.

I read a really interesting article on pandemic control measures in Asia. SARS taught them a few things and they were prepared.

After two days indoors (rain and wind as well as social distancing) I needed to go out for food. I drove over to the salad bar. Business is very slow there now and they've cut their hours. Their business is mostly take-out, but there were maybe five people sitting at the outdoor tables. That surprised me, but I was glad to see it. We all need fresh air.

I must say, the worst of the gloom and doom posters, literally sharing end of the world posts every three seconds, is our very own occasional dear reader Leslie. I'd been responding to every one of them, but thankfully staying away has saved me considerable aggravation. That said, I just went to check my page because I'd made the Kritzerland post and of course the first thing that showed up on my feed were three new end of the world posts, including one that everyone should wear masks, after it's been said time and again that they don't do anything unless they're an exact certain pro kind and those are in short supply and the actual medical profession needs them. I mean honestly.

I was slated to host the Robby Awards again this year, but obviously they aren't happening. So, Rob posted the winners and for the second time Kritzerland won and both times we won there is no ceremony so we don't get anything but a certificate rather than a little bus.

bk · « **Reply #114 on:** March 17, 2020, 03:31:38 PM »

I was also quite sure we weren't going to win.

Jeanne · « **Reply #115 on:** March 17, 2020, 03:32:09 PM »

I stocked up as much as I could, which is really only 3-4 days' worth of food. I fear they will have to close completely. They offered the usual full salad bar, sandwich bar, soup bar (four soups), and juice bar, which also surprised me.

Congrats on the win, at least!!

Remember, we too were prepared until the team was considered too expensive.

I also admit it would be easier to do this in Singapore.

A very irritated masked GrubHub driver came in, complaining that she doesn't "understand this place." It's a small business, which doesn't usually do delivery, but is trying to survive during what is a difficult situation for everyone. We are all being forced to make adjustments, rethink how we do things. Of course there are delays.
