I vote to send this virus back where it came from with a note: 'Thanks a lot, but no thanks; it's yours, you keep it.'

My DD was a travel agent/manager for about 10 years, so travel is ingrained in her! We also traveled a lot until mom and aunt got older ( and frankly more work for me) Now DD is a realtor for a home company, and it is so weird to hear her talk about "video" home tours,, no real on site visits until you are about to sign the papers, etc. She goes to work every day in her model, but no one can come in without an apt, and then only 2 people. But she does get to hang out in a huge beautiful home all day..LOL But they are still selling,, she has sold 7 homes in 2 months! She has cut her travel back. Lucky for us older folks we have a place on the river in WV so we still can get away and be away from other people.

I don't get this poor me I'm so isolated attitude from the younger generation either - the ability to connect with technology has been a game changer for me yet somehow that isn't sufficient for them. We were farm kids and never did summer camp so even into my teens the only opportunity to socialize was pretty much just family gatherings where I might see my cousins and church. The phone hung on the wall in the dining room and it was a party line, no long private chats with friends there!

I second that Llama. I am in my 40's, but I stayed home through our stay at home order and worked on my house. Even now, I go out very little (when needed).

And like ff, as a kid I never wanted to be inside the house. I use to roller skate all day if I could. I build forts, went fishing, do whatever I could find something to do. I woke up everyday thinking it was a new adventure. As far as TV, I remember we had 4 channels and by time I was a teenager we had 13 channels. But it never matter to me. I watch cartoons and ate breakfast with my dad and if he had no chores for me to do then I was off and running to find my new adventure!)

Not all people in the 40 year old age group are on the move during the Novel Coronavirus. Our daughter at age 47 stayed at home from March 13 till June 22. And only then did she leave her home for work ×2 days/week.

Stay at home and safe lives.

18 year old nephew was allowed to fly from coast to coast with his buddies. Not a good idea.

glad- it is sad Many of that generation and more reject the covid safety guidelines and, as you say, seem to need to "move" and have new experiences. I don't think we taught them that. I suspect technology. Mine are a bit older and are respecting what needs to be done for society so far It isn't easy but it is doable. We can create our own happiness.

ff - Oh gosh. Can I identify. I earned some physics watching water flow in the channels I made in melting snow. Didn't realize it at the time. There were always interesting things to do. I grew up without tv. I was a late teenager before my parents got one - black and white and you changed the few channels manually. Just the other day I was just talking with R about my push lawn mower activities - in the blazing sun, a foot tall grass one time when I had been away, I took a run at it and cut about 9 inches, backed up and did it again till the lawn was done. My grand kids can't even use a power mower. If you wanted skinless almonds, you skinned them yourself. Poured boiling water on them then after a while popped the skins off. You wanted ground almonds you ground them yourself. Loved the smell of clothes after you brought them in from outside. There was no reason to be bored and doing these things gave you a sense of accomplishment.

gladimhere, have to blame the computer. As a kid of the 1950's, I could play for hours using my imagination. All the roads I built in my parents vegetable garden. I could ride my bike or roller skate on the sidewalks all day long. As soon as I was tall enough to push the lawnmower [push mower] I had a chore to do. Weekends it was washing my parent's car [cute boy lived across the street]. Or watching TV, gosh there were 3 channels to choose from and I always find something fun to watch. Kukla, Fran & Ollie, anyone?

My Dad kept busy inventing things in the basement, or doing fix-it stuff, and I was there helping him. Mom kept busy with keeping the house in order without many of the modern gadgets we have today. Wringer washer. Drying clothes on a [gasp] outside clothes line. No dishwasher or microwave.

Now we have that computer in our pocket.

No wonder the COVID is affecting the 30's and 40's more. They are feeling cooped up, have families and have to have those vacations and activities. DD1 and the two grands flying to Minneapolis (of all places) with TS2 on Sunday, then on return, her now ex taking kids to Florida for Universal Studios. Craziness! I don't get it. Why is this generation so stir crazy? Cannot be content at home. Feel like they always have to be doing something! What the heck did we teach them?!

Send, I just got to snipping and just snipped away. Poor thing. He looks like I cut his hair. Needless to say, he's been wearing his hat a lot.☺

Gershun,
Did you first put a bowl on hub 's head and cut around it?
That is a good way to protect some of the hair, and is a well known hair cutting technique from centuries back. (Lol, a joke).

allesandra, If you need to vent about care giving or get some advice, then this is the place to find it. Otherwise the caregiver forum isn't facebook so if you want to post completely political messages about abortion and taunts at other forum posters, maybe you should make those posts on other boards? We do have tangent political threads concerning care giving issues like healthcare coverage, driving privileges, senior civil rights, covid lock down rules and the like but we generally do not debate SCOTUS rulings on unrelated topics.

TNtwchie,
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.

So glad the US Supreme Court has struck down the anti-abortion bill in Louisiana, just as it did in Texas. A woman's right to choose is so important!!!

What?! Neighborhood FB page. An accident closed the entry to the subdivision last night. A truck swerving to miss a couple of deer, truck rolled, driver eject, serious injuries. Then to glad he was not hurt that bad. Huh? How does one get from point a to point b? Maybe conversations, not part of FB thread, among neighbors today?

Kinda like here at times when people do not read the entire thread. Yes, I read the entire FB thread. 😳

Shell: Oh, so sorry for the loss of your Daddy 6 years ago. It's so hard to lose our parents, isn't it? You had your father longer than I had mine. My Daddy was only 50 years of age when he died. Virtual hugs coming your way ((( ))).

On my mind...

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.🍀
