I am the primary caretaker for my mother who is in a private independent care facility--but she is hardly independent. I have a nurse in with her Monday through Friday, but on weekends and evenings either I'm with her most of the time or a member of my family when I'm sick. Yesterday when I went to see her I discovered the facility wouldn't let me in at all--only medical personnel. My mom just got out of the hospital due to congestive heart failure and she has advancing Alzheimer's. I can't believe I can't even get in to see her.
Would this be an opportune time to add rat poison to foods that they might seek? They're undesirable vermin and do carry diseases, so I think that would be justified.
She was concerned about disease. But hey, they are a part of the circle of life.
Certain areas now have the coyotes that are going after small dogs. It’s weird but people are taking over their land all over so it will happen.

We do bread pudding here in New Orleans as a treat. I have never made a rice pudding or even tasted it. We don’t make it here. Is that good? Do you make it?
Would love a good bread pudding recipe!!
It's my kryptonite!!
You know how rats do live in metro areas. Lord here, we have rats. Cajun areas they eat the nutria and alligator, squirrels, etc. Well, we have gator dishes in a few restaurants here too. I have had it. It’s good. My daughter and I tried a gator appetizer.
What wildlife do you see? Do you have fireflies? Those are so cool. We don’t see those in the city. But I remember being in a rural area as a kid and seeing them light up and I thought they were so cool!
I went to Nob Hill Thursday night and Costco yesterday afternoon. And All paper products were sold out. Of course they were! Same with Clorox & Lysol wipes. I couldn’t even get my liquid dish soap at Costco because it’s sold out! And to my surprise, they have raised the limit of 2 cases of water per member to 5! As I was walking through the parking lot, I kept seeing people walking out with 4-5 cases in their cart and I was thinking what the heck is going on here? I’m gonna be pissed if I get in there and there is no water left! Well there was maybe 25 cases left by the time I made my way to the back of the store. They’ve done a number on the inside of the store too! I guess to accommodate the boards of people who line up at 3am and rush inside when the doors open at 9, they’ve blocked partial access to the back of the store where the water, toilet paper and cleaning supplies are. You have to go a certain route and there’s no way cut through like there was before. Anyway bought 2 cases of water. Hubby said I should have bought 5. WHY THOUGH? So I can contribute to the problem? 2 cases will last us 2 weeks.
It looks like I am going to have to start getting up at the crack of dawn so I can be at the grocery stores When open, if I want to buy toilet paper. I have an emergency plan in case we run out but my family will NOT be happy with me if I have to implement it LOL!!
I went in to hubby’s bathroom last night
and not only does he have 3 rolls of TP hidden away in there but he is hoarding 10 packages of the fancy bum wipes he gets from the dollar shave club!!!!! SMH. Guess I know where to look first, when we run out of TP. We can use the wipes he’s hoarding!
Just tell hubby he has to share! LOL!
That’s how my daughter and I ate the gator. It was bite sized fried gator served as an appetizer.
I love Florida. My daddy grew up in Florida so we went to the beach every summer. Those white sand beaches and blue-green water, so very pretty! 😊
We can dream of it!
All I know,,,, If it happens upon me, and I don't see it, and it got into me:::
DNR ME. I don't want to be intubated/// :( I don't want to be blamed for passing it along. That would kill me.
And this day is done, I tired, GN
Well, people were taken to their homes until that announcement. Now, people are out and about like nothing is going on. Had to go to Lowe's for one little thing and I could not believe how busy they were and people grouping together! Yikes!! As I was going through the store with my sig other it was like being in a videogame. We were dodging people making sure we stayed 6ft away from people! We got what we needed and got the heck out of there!
No one in my area is taking Covid seriously! Do the people in my city don't watch the news? Do they think it is not going to happen here? The whole east side of my state is highly infected with Covid! Ugh!! I just wish people would stay home! We do!!! Won't be going anywhere for awhile!
And Shell.....people are really letting their lack of common sense come out. So many people are refusing to take this seriously because they don’t know what city the people testing positive live in! We all need to act like it is EVERYWHERE and take proper precautions! Over here they aren’t telling us what city the COVID patients live in. They are just telling us the number of positive tests in this county and how the transmission occurred. We are up to 32 as of last nights. It seems like a lot of people need to hear “5 people in city A, 10 in city b” before they take it seriously! Until then they will act like it’s not in their city! I really don’t understand the way these people think. If it’s in your county, you are at risk and you need to take precautions and stay home! But sooooo many people don’t get that! Every time the media updates us on the number people ask what city the patients live in....why does it even matter? The virus is here!!!
Sorry to hear of your lack of getting paper products and especially almost getting hit! Ugh!!
Common Sense is a superpower that must people don't seem to have these days! Here, they are telling us how many cases and in what cities!! But people are just grouping together in parks and at Lowe's today! We do have a small amount of cases in my city, but Covid is growing very fast in one of our major cities.
However, I do get what your saying about the police. The first responders do need to be safe...we need them!! It is just frustrating!
For my sig other and myself, we do act like everyone is infected; I just wish everybody else would do the same! I guess I am just tired of stupid people!!😡
In the meantime, can he send an email request to his supervisor if he can leave earlier from the project due to 2 coworkers are confirmed cases and bro has a heart problem. He is on CPAP and he does struggle to breathe when he walks long distance. If that fails, escalate to HR. If that fails, then just hunker down and be paranoid. (Then I messaged him the YouTube video 'They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haa')
Got the low down on the TP DISPENSE ... Got up in time went to that market before 10:30 .. And then 10;50 , i was talking to some random person in isle 10.. we were waiting for the pallets to be placed... not yet. I asked if he would watch my cart of a minute while I meandered around the store for a minute for other stuff, ...Whoa, and behold!! the magical pallet appeared in ISLE 14 !!! I scrambled, grabbed my 2 limit's worth of the 'GOLDEN TP'.. Ran back to isle 10 and told my new TP friend, IT'S HERE !! Hurry.... ISLE 14 !!. He asked if I could watch his cart,, I said no, take it with you for a ramming rod just in case (kidding),
I ran out almost 2 weeks ago... we were using any kind of tissue. I was in panick mode by now..
Got to the checkers and only one PACK PER PERSON. Thank goodness I was shopping for my aunt's supplies too... She needed some, and also apple sauce, breakfast carnation etc... 2 packages of TP will get us through for a bit, until I get the nerve up to hunt again. I'm in California.
My cousin , Michigan.. stores are out of kitchen garbage bags... huh? Does every state have a certain product they are low on?
We are low on garlic.. TP, Water, although, lowes had 4 new pallets), so maybe water is not a big commodity now, people found their gas stoves, pitchers with filters, and they ADULT SIPPY CUPS?... Ya, I didn't run out of water, my kitchen sink has a faucet. and we have a filter, and a gas stove... hmm, I remember in the early 70's, stores started to sell bottled water...? What is that a thing? and we laughed.. I was a kid..certainly wished I knew about how stocks worked... maybe not.
A friend of mine is married to a state trooper. An intruder got into her house one morning. She told her husband that she wanted a gun.
The first thing her husband said to her was, “You are not getting a gun until you take lessons, then lots of target practice after that because if not, the intruder will get the gun away from you and kill you with your own gun!”
That is sad.
My friend sent me an email link to click on to see her virtual concert. Was so sweet to hear her sing and see her pretty face. I enjoyed that.
On the other end are my grandson-in-law who is dealing with his mother being in hospice. My granddaughter gives me daily updates and their family is having a rough time coming to terms with her death.
These are trying times and will bring out peoples true natures. I hope we all find the strength we need to get through this.
My BIL was invited over for dinner to a friend's house. He got there, and She, the hostess is coughing, sneezing, etc.... He has ASTHMA since he was a child... Did she know this? I kinda doubt it... And is she Aware that these may be symptoms of COVID19? Maybe, but it didn't cross her mind...
Likewise, I saw my neighbors, and the lil girl is so sweet, and bored. She sang me a song, and I gave her a "hi 5". Her mom was just about to have a heart attack. I didn't think once, about social distancing.. my fault. This kid is just 4.. and she asks her mom why this holiday is so long. I can tell you, she goes to the same school my kid went to 15 yeas ago.The director my kid had, would have made sure these kids know why this is happening. My kid's classmates endured and was taught about death.. Unfortunately, their friend/classmate died, and the director of the montessori school did not sugar coat it much. She explained life.. she explained death, and approached that subject so wonderfully... And I guarantee most children understood what it was they were dealing with. This happens. So, how do you tell your kids or loved ones you cannot visit sometimes? It does go both ways... Kids are probably wondering why they are not allowed to visit grandma or grandpa..
What do you tell a child or an elderly?

My mother's short-term memory maybe going, but she remembered me telling her to stay away from people. Some times they are just funny!
