You stay safe, Jimi, and if those symptoms don't settle, please contact your doctor.
Are you susceptible to seasonal allergies? I think the pollen and other junk in the air is what's been bothering me. I hope you're ok.
Thank you, I am gonna keep an eye on it but I think it's just a cold or something, still no real fever, and only cough when I vape, well pretty much only then.
What a great pastor and true Christian! And an amazing Easter gift for you and your wife. Yay. Hope you had a great holiday, Chain.
It might just be allergies too, Jimi. But keep healthy and safe. Love you, bro. :hug,:

In times like this, no news is good news!
GOOD MORNING VU!
Family and all is hanging in and healthy.
Wife didn't get assigned yet to another area of the hospital, although its an inevitable... she laughed for a few other 30+ year RNs in her department were reassigned to janitorial services...
I told her, don't laugh, its honest work, and although being paid $60+ an hr to be on janitor duty is excessive, it beats being at home, bored and unemployed.
She finds out probably today where she will be reassigned. I said hope you don't get assigned to the cafeteria, cause you will for sure infect someone with your horrible cooking... the SCOWL! lol... but its true.. only Filipina in the world I know that can't cook one signature dish from the motherland.
My signature dishes are Nilaga, Afritada, and Kalderantang... which being Keto for nearly a year, I miss eating those foods...man my stomach is growling just thinking of them lol, especially Nilaga... its my favorite... I can honestly eat that day in and day out for the rest of my life.
Be safe everyone!

Hopefully for me the start of a SSDD week unless there is really good news.
My daughter and son-in-law brought us some leftover steak they had from a volume buy they did. They also brought us a couple of bottles of wine from his parents who are our best friends.
In my county we are at 65 cases of covid with 3 deaths, looks to be leveling out I hope (knock on wood). My wife and I are hanging in there.
Stay safe VU!

so sick of naps and netflix
Monday morning check-in.
I've been busy organizing my room. Vape stuff and clothes to sell. When I thought I was really going to be doing hardware reviews on YT, I went to Marshall's at least once a week and bought a ton of tops. Half my closet is new stuff and I can't move the hangers from side to side anymore. So, I bought dry cleaner bags and those disposable hospital footy things to put on the top of my shoes to keep them dust free. I ordered 'kids' size dry cleaner bags. 30x24". I measured a hanger with a blouse and the bag will come 3/4 the way down on it. They were cheap so I guess I'll open the package.
As for Arizona, they released a Top 10 list yesterday by State, County and Zip Code:
We're really bummed that as hard as we tried, Arizona Flooring will not do in home residential flooring installations now. That's the big thing to get us very close to the finish of the restoration. It's been 18 months. Don't ask.

#1 - Maricopa County: 1,960
#4 - 85257 (Scottsdale): 51 - in my zip code alone! And this zip code isn't considered large. I read this last night and my eyes got wide. #4?

I read found another article that you all won't like.
The Outlook for lock-down is 18 months according to this article. I can't imagine that. A year maybe? I hope everyone reads this and realizes the importance of what the lock-down is and take all protective measures to hopefully help the spread of the virus.
America should be ready for 18 months of shutdowns in long hard road ahead, warns the feds Neel Kashkari

HOLY CRAP!.... I finally got a delivery spot for Walmart 
.. it's not til the 17th, but it's the first one I've seen available for like 3 weeks now. It's been so bad here, they refunded our March payment for the unlimited delivery subscription since no one was able to actually use it.

Woke up with a big ole headache today. Gonna go hang out with all the germ bags at work in a little bit. Everyone there is getting short and snippy with each other. It's tense all over, though. Hope you all have a reasonably sane day today.
The past, present and future walk into a bar......
It was a tense situation.

Hope you get some kind of hazard pay for being one of the people not only going to work but keeping a vital service running
Just checking in, nothing new to report
Still here, nothing new. We both get to figure out how to use tele-med on Wednesday, should be fun.
Stay safe and healthy
I was to use that with my doctor on Thursday but instead she opted for a video call through Google Hangouts. I'd be interested to see what the procedure is to do it. Good luck with your doc!
We are, til the 17th, unless they decide to extend that, since the original date also got extended. Doubtful, but they've surprised me before.Hope you get some kind of hazard pay for being one of the people not only going to work but keeping a vital service running

Was the "hazard bonus" part of the bill that Congress passed? My company is paying it, too, although I think it's limited to only certain types of positions. I'm not expecting anything, in other words. I was thinking that I heard something like that, though, when the talking heads were describing the bill's contents.

22,025 cases in Illinois
794 deaths
Sure can't like that. About 5,700 cases in Virginia, 141 deaths. Up to 7 cases in my county now, and 57 in the next county to the east of here, where there has been an outbreak in the nursing home where my boss's mother is living. He is waiting on the results of her test. They have already had 20 staff and 14 residents turn up positive. She wouldn't survive it. She is hanging by a thread already.

You know what's sad?... The truckers are NOT getting any kind of hazzard pay. Hubby even asked about it and they said "Nope!"

That is Total BS and these guys are having a hard time just getting something to fucking eat~! I Have started a viral push to make restaurants cater to truckers. Without these guys there is NOTHING, no food or Freaking TP~!
Just checking in. all is still well with me and mine.
did pull some PG and VG out of the deep freezer to make room to freeze some milk though.

Well my last two items that I've been waiting on from Walmart were cancelled. One of them was TP
But now that I've finally gotten a delivery appt, hopefully I'll be able to get whatever else we needed. Got a shipment today with some odd n end items.
I've had a headache and stuffy head for over a week now... but I'm 99.99% sure it's just my allergies.
My back went out a couple days ago, I'm blaming the Sam's club meat order for that. In combination with all the other boxes, 20-50 lb bags of feed, and 40 lb tubs of litter I've had to lift recently... my back said "Enough!"
So now I'm stuck to the desk chair with a lumbar roll behind my back for the next several days.

Thanks Steve... I've been doing the same. I even messaged our Gov about it.
Yeah, it does. His company is stingy, but they did give all the drivers a little 4 oz bottle of hand sanitizer.
He's even had issues with some of the places marking their restrooms as "Out of Order" to keep the trucker traffic out of them. That one really pissed me off!
Well my last two items that I've been waiting on from Walmart were cancelled. One of them was TP
I currently have an order on Walmart waiting on shipping info. Worse than waiting for a Chinese Vape Vendor to show it shipped~!
Here's hoping it doesn't.
Everything the same here except I have some vape mail coming today to break the cycle a bit.
Don't thank me, Thank Them, and I do it every time I am on the road and I see a trucker at a light. Just my thanking them makes their day and I will keep doing it as long as I am breathing even after this is over. They have no idea what they could be driving into.
Bathrooms are a tough one on many levels.
They are a perfect place for the virus to spread. However truckers and such do need bathrooms...
What the fuck is this asshole talking about? Finding a clean place to take a dump is their worst nightmare? Some people just talk shit so they can talk~!
You know what's sad?... The truckers are NOT getting any kind of hazzard pay. Hubby even asked about it and they said "Nope!"
Aren't truckers in a union? That's awful about the diners and bathrooms. And as Crom pointed out, those truck stop bathroom are a playground for the virus and other unkind things. Not to sound funny, but what if a condom was cut in half to protect as much as possible? How it would stay on I have no clue. Just a thought. Stupid, but I'm trying to come up with something that could work. Not to mention when they need to lay some cable!
That just winds up like a rubber band at the base like any broken condom~!
Hehee. Well, that's a bust. Okay. Not to dwell on that. Here's a little laugh. A sign of the times, man.
Could they attach porta pottys to the trucks/trailers?
Here is the answer to any trucker who needs a safe place to take a dump.

I had one of the Porta Potty's like that on my boat that I drove around the Long Island Sound and up the Hudson and East Rivers for years at 50 Knots. No Smell or spills. But when you gotta go you gotta go~! Just have to use that RV TP~!
