Finally after the 5th time signing in, it’s working. For now anyway.. Issues for a long while with staying signed in.
Glad to see the forum active again.
Crowbar, I was coming over for a taste of your bread but the forum kept kicking me off. Oh well maybe next time cause I know you have eating that bread by now. It looks so good.
Cinnamon Grammy, that virus is already here in the US. 15 confirmed cases so far and the HHS/CDC plus the health depts. in Seattle, San Fran, Chicago, NYC, and LA are now testing patients presenting with flu-like symptoms for COVID-19 coronavirus. This is in from Alerts USA. USNORTHOM implementing DoD Globbal campaign plan for pandemic diseases for force protection and community-based assistance.
They are now saying we should all prepare and have the N95 mask or better. All this coming from the Alerts USA. There are things and info that I will get to you as soon as I can on killing the virus on doorknobs etc. Not cheap, but well worth the price. These are what I got from Daisy’s report in email and took her advice and bought the cleaner. Can’t think of the name of it off hand but will go check it out a bit later. Homeland security is telling us to get prepared. This also is in from USA Alerts. I was already prepared without really knowing it. I had the mask already from when the doctor I used to work for retired. Gave me over 100 of them. Seems when the last pandemic hit, doctors had to get prepared and he went over board. So I made out when he retired on lots of stuff, He gave me. Sadly though he passed away the end of Jan. He was 90 years old. I always called him when I had a health question. He was my go to doctor even though he was retired. Will be greatly missed. His family though was from Japan and with the spread of the corona virus in Japan I decided for the sake of DH whom has been in bad health, not to risk going to the family night. Japan family everywhere. Didn’t think they would be able to get here with all the airport mess. But most of them were able to make it.
And yes, You cannot have to many canning jars. Hang on to them. The day might come when you will need them. I keep my extra in the shed I bought for my attic. No more climbing into that attic when I need something. But it does hold a lot of paper goods. Still got to go up there to reorganize all of it and move the rest of the toilet paper into plastic containers.
Cinnamon Grammy, Writing letters to the kids is a good idea. Mine live not far from me and are clueless as to what is going on. One of my granddaughters is a scribe for the ER and she is fully aware of what is going on and trying to talk to her it will never happen mother. She still lives with them so they will be getting prepared. They just don’t know it yet.
Glad to see that everyone is doing well and getting back on here. I hope I don’t get kicked off again. Don’t know why that kept happening. Signing in several times just to read was getting bad.
I am ready to get a garden started, though my plans were to just hit the farm markets this year with DH being sick. He is doing better now but not sure if he will be able to do the garden this year. Will see how it goes. But with the virus and everything else happening, I feel it might be better to do a garden even it is smaller than what we usually do. I can still hit the farm markets as well.
