The Drs and nurses use the good masks..cannot remember their name now, those work and work well. .other masks work in varying degrees, but as I said..with the cotton working the least, so basically not at all..The part about the cotton masks is what I am not 100% sure about.
Good morning. .... Going to finally go down and work on my file today.

N95 masks keep out pretty much everything. Surgical masks are the lighter ones that only block like 80% of the airborne stuff entering or leaving you. But 80% is better than 0. When I wear a mask, I will be telling people that I care about them. The surgeon General of the United States had a little video yesterday, during his announcement, of how to make a simple mask from a T-shirt that would work. It would smother me with my respiratory issues but it would work.
I put a teddy bear (actually several) in windows around my house and took pics of them. I sent them to a friend of mine in New Zealand where the kids are trying to capture sight of as many sightings of them as they can from their quarantines, car trips to the doctors, walks for exercise as they can. California bears for her grandkids. Teddy has cleaned up his bears back to thier 'homes'.

Yes, I saw that motto somewhere else as well. I too think it is an awesome motto.
Glad that your snow is melting, Sunny, even if it is melting slowly.
Got my Easter ready today and I also ignored the price and I ordered a nut roll from Strawberry Hill for an Easter treat.

I dropped off GB's Easter gifts yesterday...we did an exchange from the back of my truck. It was so sad to talk to him through my truck window and his house window. He is doing o.k. though because DD adopted a kitten last week. It is a Rag Doll kitten that wasn't wanted because it has a mild case of Swimmer's syndrome. DD has him hobbled up to mend his legs. He is thriving and getting stronger everyday.
I went early to do the drop off because we might soon be under a 'no travel' ban if this keeps up.
I'll take a piece of that nut roll Junie.

That was nice of your DD Sunny. I am sure it helps your GB a lot. I wish I had of taken think my Easter to My Grands here already As it is, if we cannot arrange for it's delivery, at least I sent some learned crayons to them. Their mom kept them back, so now if I can't get their Easter to them by next Sunday,
t. I thank the Lord my grands have lots of siblings...while it is driving their parent's crazy, my grands are doing well. At first they could not understand why they were staying home...now even Henry understands there will be no Birthday party, but that he had presents from his parents tonopen. I am hoping I can send his gifts from us with the Easter.
Ok Sunny, I will save you some of the nut roll when it comes

Enjoy the rain Tina. I hope you get your gifts to the grands Junie. I have an earache starting...good old spring East wind causes it every year.

Oh my !
Sunny, I have not had an earache for years. You have my sympathy. Here is something to try. Put a cotton ball in your ear. Both when out in the wind to help you prevent an earache, and if/when you have an earache.
Tina, I love the rain as well. It keeps the outside overcast and it is very restful to sleep in.

Thanks Junie, I should have put cotton in my ears but I am in and out so much that I forget. I have drops here for earaches so I'll be o.k.
We just got notice from our government to wear masks when going out....even if they are homemade.

Good Morning !
They are saying that about masks here as well. Apparently it will not protect you, but it will protect others from your germs in case you have the virus and are not yet showing symptoms.
Wrapping GB's Birthday gifts today..that and doing some laundry.

Masks are good, Sunny. I look at the Asian populations all over the world and they use them on a daily basis. They managed to flatten the curves ih their various countries. We can too. All of our medical heroes wear them.

I have an earache once in a while and it's horrible. I always feel sorry for babies when they have an ear infection because I know the pain.
The pollen here is out of control.
Aubry is getting pretty sick stay at home stuff of this but Colt is loving it.

Anyone want to trade weather? They are calling for a major snowstorm Thursday with heavy winds and damaging tide surges....I am thinking this new moon might be playing a part in it. Mind you, we get a storm like this every April....just when things are slowly starting to melt.
I have a small grocery delivery arriving today. They have small turkeys on sale for $3.50 a pound, I hope I am lucky enough to get one. I requested one under $25 so I'll be shocked if I get it. The stores will be closed from Friday to Monday. I also asked for fruit...of any kind. It's strange to shop this way.

Good morning. Washing clothes already.
Wel!, At least you can shop from the safety of your home, Sunny. I would be happy to call in an order and have it delivered. Would not matter to me what brsnd/type they brought.
Drinking my coffee now.

Would not matter to me what brsnd/type they brought. Yup, that's what one has to do now....sometimes it costs more because I rarely buy name brand but at least I am home safe.

Good morning. I haven't checked into delivery yet. I may. Tangela is shopping for me today. We must wear masks in public. And gloves are a good idea. I don;t go in public. But I have both in case the need arises.

Hi all,
We aren't quarantined yet, not very many reported cases in our little town so far but we do expect that to change... we shopped early and a lot so food and stuff wise we are good.. Got the last of our scrips refilled so that is good for next 3 months too... had to submit proof to our insurance company that hubby and I are in fact married .. from last 6 months... so just sent that off.. always fun... sure hope that isn't a regular thing with them... but I gather insuring non eligible people is a thing that is done...
Hubby has been working around house.. he is supposed to be painting shed today but so far isn't doing that... easy to put stuff off if you know you have a long time to get it done...
Well off to get something out for dinner... thinking chicken …. have a good day all an stay well my friends.. Nana

Hello, Nana. Oh my. I too hope that is not a thing..I happened to notice that I have my marriage license home..so that is good...but I am assuming that I need better proof ? What did you send in ?
I buy some brand name downstairs brand..depends on price and what I prefer. Today though I just found out that I prefer the Wal-Mart brand of make your own dressing mix. Looks like so will never buy Good Seasons again.S
Was outside for say an hour. Wasn't working all that hard but I came in all sweaty This is April..I cannot imagine how the summer will be.
