Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I hope this kind of opening comes to your state soon! I'm also praying no one schedules a visit knowing they are at high risk of infection. I think the guidelines are a good balance between keeping residents safe and allowing visitors - just sorry it took so long to get here!
Remember after 9 11? It was mayhem and then it wasn't. Until the next terrorist attack. Same with this. Some changes will be made and then something else big will happen. I mean look how fast the covid headlines became police protests headlines.
CW, it was a cynical question.
Some of us are very concerned about CV spread from the protesters who don't seem to care about social distancing or good hygiene at all. Although most of the crowd here is local (90-95%) there are or have been out of town organizers.
After a week of completely peaceful protests, the outside organizers came up from Nashville to encourage blocking approaches to the area trauma center and were apparently surprised to be arrested when they refused to obey law enforcement directions to move to the sidewalks or parking lots. After bricks were placed at corners in the downtown, the outsiders were uncomfortable with downtown business owners sitting at a table in their window displays with a firearm and coffee cup visible on the table top. LE advised the outsiders' stated intention to take their bricks out of the downtown and business districts (where LE maintained a over-watch presence) to more rural areas would probably not work out well since our area is highly populated with armed homeowners and former military who would call for LE but could be counted on to handle any threat to their families promptly. The outsiders moved on (back to Nashville?) and the protests have continued peacefully without any additional arrests. Never more than at any time in my life, I thank the Lord I am living in a rural community without major crime or racial problems. Where even if we don't like what you're saying/doing, if you're not harming anyone we let it go.
I'm praying the violence ends while peaceful protests and police reform talks return to our country soon. I feel such sorrow for the defender deaths, property owners with looted or burned out shells, and people who must now live in destroyed areas without basics like grocery stores and pharmacies. If a mob has looted and burned your local CVS, how safe can you feel in your nearby home? It's hard not to feel 2020 is (to paraphrase the Queen) a horrible year - and its not even half over yet.
I had a property maintenance guy come to assess my gardens for a job, I said right away "6' " but had to keep backing up as he didn't observe it, nor did he seem the least bit concerned about maintaining it. I think I will give the company some feedback. I know outdoors is safer but...
Add to the heat and warmer climate, sunlight doesn't do it either. The wavelength UV-C (which does kill most viruses etc) emitted by the sun is stopped by the ozone later before it gets to us.
This thread is great because what's ON MY MIND is different than what is on everybody else's mind.
It wasn't very much, was it?
Short answers are best, don't you think? No, really, do you think anyone worries about following the instructions at the start of a thread?
What is on your mind?
I did cut hub's hair tonight. :)
I'll leave it at that.
Just been looking for headbands to keep my hair out of my face - I've got a haircut booked for July 7th but no confidence it will go ahead.
I'm blushing because I looked at a whole webpage of them on young models and thought "omg, they look like complete scrubbers - !"
Are we even allowed to say "scrubbers" any more? My bad.
(But they do)
Six escaped cows dead after collisions in D********.
I grit my teeth and accept it when city news sources call all cattle "cows", but a small rural publication should know better.
Yes, my world is that dull
Just thinking of you daddy. Today you have been gone for 6 yrs. In some ways it seem like just yesterday and other times it seems it has been longer than 6 yrs. I miss you so much. It is hard to believe that tomorrow you would have been 79 yrs old. Happy Birthday dad. I love and miss you. I cry almost everyday for you. I am taking good care of mom and your house. I hope wherever you are you are proud of me.🍀
Kinda like here at times when people do not read the entire thread. Yes, I read the entire FB thread. 😳
I guess the protesters might have been saying, why should we distance and wear masks? Republicans don't. Maybe they are giving the South a little taste of their own medicine.
