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.
It seems it's all I think about these days. I had a thought the other day. I wonder how children in their impressionable years will be affected by this. I wonder if this will imprint itself on their brains and they will have this niggling thought in their psyche from hereon where they think they need to social distance themselves from people. Imagine how confusing it will be for them when one day mom is telling them to keep their distance from others and then when this is finally over they are told it's suddenly alright to be near others again. Confusing I imagine.
I think it will be weird for everyone won't it. I have this odd feeling when I see other people now where I see them as some kind of a health threat to me. It's weird and sad all at the same time isn't it?
Though the cv test is through the nose, may not work. Same is done for flu had one last year. Won't do that again if I can help it.
I know that this is a popular belief but has anyone referenced an an actual living person who used this method, or are we just making assumptions - are we sure this isn't a cob with the husks still attached (very common) and it is the leaves not the actual cob that is used (which would IMO actually make a lot of sense and be be pretty clever)?
(I just have to add - when I was young my grandparents did not have indoor plumbing although thankfully they did have TP, I know my way around an outhouse!)
Anyone who’s been camping will tell you that a handful of dry leaves sure comes in handy when there isn’t any toilet paper around (and as anyone knows, unfortunate, accidental brushes with poison ivy can happen!). But you may be surprised to learn that before the mass production of toilet paper, the choices for “cleaning up” were far more varied than you might imagine.
In rural agrarian communities, handfuls of straw were frequently used, but one of the most popular items to use for clean-up was dried corncobs. They were plentiful and quite efficient at cleaning. They could be drawn in one direction or turned on an axis. They were also softer on tender areas than you might think. Even after toilet paper became available, some people in Western states still preferred corncobs when using the outhouse.
Someone said they found toilet paper, too ~ $100 for a few rolls. Maybe toilet paper is the new gold standard? to be stored at Ft. Knox?
Oh, and tylenol too!
She was really lucky.There happened to be a lady shopping that was a delivery nurse who offered her help and knew what to do.

Thank you! You are awesome!

Thank goodness, it is the right time again!
I asked my hubs to draw a clock with the right time on it, just as a test. He drew a digital clock. No wonder his doc thought he was still normal.

Interesting...Selfies are popular. I think of vanity with selfies more than loneliness. I also look at it as the new photo albums of today’s world. Older generations did photo albums that turned into expensive scrapbooking.
Shell, they could care less about the likes. Those likes translates into money for them. The famous people get endorsed for anything they do! It’s a paycheck for them. The non famous people is a different story, could be loneliness in some cases or pure vanity.
Hahaha, I don’t do selfies or scrapbook. I’m so boring, right?

I think it’s nice that Daniel has his brother to cuddle with. They do keep each other company. I had a couple of cats as a kid and a dog. My mom was good about that. She loved animals too. My dad tolerated them but he wasn’t as fond of them.
I don’t think daddy had animals growing up so he had no frame of reference. My mom had dogs and a cat growing up. I did have hamsters too. My mom did not like the hamsters but my friend down the street gave me three babies when her hamster had babies.
My husband had a couple of dogs but only wanted one animal at the time. My daughters had mice and fish too.
I went to the store with my daughter to buy diapers for her elderly dog to wear while she is at school or work and I hadn’t been to the pet store in awhile. This isn’t a chain. It was an independent store with all kinds of specialty items. Some of it I don’t get, such as vegan food for dogs. They aren’t vegetarian. Of course, they jumped on the CBD oil band wagon.
Wonder if CBD oil would have calmed down my little schnauzer! She was cute as a button but needed to chill out. She was a high strung, nervous Nellie type, which is the opposite of my husband and me. We gelled better with our greyhound. Greyhounds are even tempered. They are laid back, relaxed and so sweet. Greyhounds are sometimes compared with cats. They are very quiet. They don’t bark like my yippy yappy schnauzer did.
