Hello all. Thank you for all your replies and for all your warm greetings! My son made me this account and overwhelmed to have so many of you welcome me what a great community.
I had a ”pet” jackrabbit as a little girl, 70 years ago. Mom let it go free in the field behind the house after it ate her underwear. Thanks for the memory.Welcome Sarah!
My pet, who is a house rabbit named Rabbit, brings me joy every day.

Welcome Sarah....this is a good place to be these days....brings me joy to see others joining our little group xo
Keeping busy with model trains, streaming Great Lectures (currently watching a 35 part series on World History),
reading, walking. My wife is into jigsaw puzzles and we both enjoy British TV detective shows on Netflix. Kids are
scattered in Pennslyvania, Georgia and Puerto Rico so we do a lot of texting and calling.
I bought some flowers and raspberry plants today.Happiness is sunshine, daffodils, and birds filling my back yard... I even have a better, more welcoming attitude about the weeds and bugs!
You are very fortunate to live in a scenic area with lots of open space to wander in .. especially at this timeThis brings me joy...the lakes and woods behind my house.. ., and where I went this afternoon to walk for the first time since getting ill over 2 weeks ago...
absolutely...we're constantly aware of this, and I don't think there's a day goes by when I don't mention how hard it must be for people who live in cramped apartments with lots of children , and or in the midst of cities where there's hardly any green space ..or more to the point space for people to practice social distancing well.You are very fortunate to live in a scenic area with lots of open space to wander in .. especially at this time
I think anyone who works in a supermarket (especially shelf fillers who have no screen between them and the customer as cashiers do).. are superstars, and thank goodness for you all.. but I wouldn't do it.. I wouldn't risk getting this virus for anyone... especially if I don't need the money.. Just being honest... !!Nothing. I'm bored to tears.
I work part time in a grocery store just to get out of the house and to be around people. But, since this pandemic thing started, it's been a challenge. We have had a lot of shoppers come into our store and are new customers and want to know where this is and where that is. I want to be polite and helpful, but sometimes they get too close and I have to ask them to please back up.
Now may be a good time to post one of your manuscripts. Make it something about living out in the wilderness and not having any transportation, except for sled dogs. You could be like a scientist investigating climate change around the North Pole or maybe at least Iceland. Then, put in a chapter about the time when weather was so severe that the plane couldn't get through to you for your food and mail drop and how you almost had to go kill something to eat. Make it a real "sitting on the edge of my seat" drama type book. Be sure to include how you became friends with a polar bear cub that you raised from birth because its Mother was killed by hunters, so the cub became your responsibility and how you raised it. Sort of a Grizzly Adams adventure for another chapter. Just don't kill any seals and feed them to the cub. Just fish. Lots and lots of fish and maybe a Caribou, if you killed it for your meat and shared it with your bear. I don't even know if Caribou, Polar bear and seals even live at the North Pole. But, because it's fiction, who would care?
OK, I get it and believe me, it's weighed on my mind. I did speak with management and of course, the very first thing was to give me a $3.00 per hour raise. I tried to tell them that it's not about the money, but protection.I think anyone who works in a supermarket (especially she;f filler who have no screen between them and the customer as cashiers do.. are superstars, and thank goodness for you all.. but I wouldn't do it..

Wow! It sounds like you could write this story yourself! or maybe you just DID! I can tell you're climbing the walls!Now may be a good time to post one of your manuscripts.

What do you think?
A friend of mine said she was hurt that a grocery store worker told her to keep her distance while she was checking out. I just don't get people who are so clueless and self center-centered as my friend. Too bad that her feelings were hurt, the workers are trying to protect their well being.Nothing. I'm bored to tears.
