April 1, 20206 yr Bill Burr offering up his perspective on the quarantine. With the obligatory language warning because, you know...it's Bill Burr.
April 4, 20206 yr G’day With the little ones home and not able to do much everyone is putting stuffed bears in thier front windows and yards from the kids to hunt for when they go for a walk This is mine Edited April 4, 20206 yr by Cbdave
April 4, 20206 yr Okay, and now commence the things that truly bring chills to my spine... Wisconsin dairy farmers are being told to dump their milk supplies. Too few consumers/ low demand really needs to be a way to get the fresh stuff to the food banks....imo Edited April 4, 20206 yr by darcy poor grammar
April 4, 20206 yr Author Bored locked in Italians give impromptu concerts from their balconies....Aussies get dressed up to take out their wheelie bins and people say we have no culture.
April 8, 20206 yr Been making masks for two days now. I have our dearest friends and most of our neighborhood covered. The men ones are super powers and the women get two different flower pattern sides. Could not get any material from store but used material I had left from quilts I made my grandchildren. Found shoe laces worked best for the ties because could not get my hands on elastic. What is most impressive to me is that sewing machine in the picture. It is a 1936 Featherweight Singer Sewing Machine that was my grandmothers. I love this sewing machine. It never fails me. They just do not make them like that anymore. This one was one of the first powered machines that plugged in and has a foot peddle
April 8, 20206 yr Those are awesome @Mee, how fortunate your friends and loved ones are. I love your sewing machine too! 😊

They had them next to the elevators because of the flu. I haven't had to use them yet because I've stayed home so I'm good 😘
April 8, 20206 yr If it's not too much trouble, I could use one for when the wife asks me to run to the store for her!

April 8, 20206 yr 2 hours ago, Mee said: Anything for my dear pig. Message me your address and it is on its way. Just kidding. I send the wife to the store these days. I haven't left the property in almost 3 weeks. Haven't started my car since Feb. 12th. Battery's dead now so won't be going out anytime soon. The wife loves to go out any chance she gets. Must have been something I said 😇

My husband retired in January and I think he is attached to my hip. I am concerned about going out so we are working on a new kind of normal!
April 8, 20206 yr First day back at work at the hospital since my recovery. A huge chunk of our resources have been diverted to COVID-19 related care. Normally bustling hallways are now practically deserted. I must say, the public has been amazing as far as donating PPE. ❣️
April 8, 20206 yr @Mee those are some great-looking masks! I love the fabric! And that sewing machine is amazing!
April 8, 20206 yr I am here in the epicenter of Rona.....haven't left my house in 10 days or so (I think...losing track!). I don't have any masks or a sewing machine but have plenty of scarves so will make do somehow when I have to make a grocery store run in a few days... Stay safe....stay home!
April 8, 20206 yr 22 days locked behind my shutters. I can stay home for days/weeks on end with no issues but, make myself go out once a week because I start to get squirrel-y. Now, completely squirrel-y. lol. glad you are home . @Rozuki glad you are well @BKP and great to see you @abbynormal and all the rest of you darling smoke free creatures !
April 8, 20206 yr If you're using a homemade fabric mask or bandanna the optimum utilization is to launder it every time you take it off. If you're unable to do that, at the very least understand that there should be a consistent inside (against your face) and an outside (away from your face). These must be maintained throughout the daily use of your mask. You never want to put the dirty side against your face. You also don't want to take it off and put it in your pocket. That will contaminate the entire mask. More tips: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/diy-cloth-face-coverings.html Edited April 8, 20206 yr by BKP
April 8, 20206 yr @BKP God Bless you and thank you for your service through this. I did make my masks two different colors so you can tell the difference between sides. I did make a pocket to put something protective in between but there is not much to be had out there.
