They are ...I love reading your words each morning. They are always down to earth, sensible and usually very uplifting as I believe you are a cup half full person and look on the bright side of things. Your positive/can do attitude is wonderful. I agree that people have to still be very cautious about going out and I for one will not be going out unless I have to. It was discouraging coming home from our holiday in Mexico early because of the virus but it has been wonderful being at home knowing I was still on holiday and did not have to go to work. I have enjoyed the "catching up" on cleaning and completing some projects that have been 20 years in the making LOL (found a knitted sweater that needed the hood attached when cleaning out a closet) I have to go back to work next week but will only be part time and will still stay home in between. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay positive!cindythequilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06652720996944653228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-63006016901071902182020-04-23T17:17:48.022-04:002020-04-23T17:17:48.022-04:00I, too, have a fur baby that gets car sick on wigg...I, too, have a fur baby that gets car sick on wiggly roads. Straight fine, but wiggly, no. She'll be 8 in June and I give her two ginger snaps about 1/2 hour before we jump into the car and she does fine. I usually feed her 1/4 cup of kibble for breakfast if we are leaving within 2 hours. The store brand ginger snaps are best as they are not super strong with ginger, but just enough to settle the stomach.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500942387596261315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-71636946528111272652020-04-23T17:14:30.524-04:002020-04-23T17:14:30.524-04:00Thank you for everything you said today.

I,too, intend to length any stay home orders by 3 months and see what the fall out is for those so antsy to challenge the virus. I do know it is tough for those not working. My daughter hasn't received her unemployment yet and realizes she is lucky to be living at home. She is afraid about going back to work to soon. She is a beautician and realizes how busy they will be, but can't understand how they are suppose to still practice social distancing. If clients and peers wear masks, my daughter who is hearing impaired and relys heavily on reading lips even with hearing aids, doesn't know how she will be able to communicate well. One would think close contact businesses would be the last to be opened.

We are in this for the long haul. This virus is not going to disappear over night. When I see states deciding that it is OK to reopen beauty parlors, manicure salons, bowling alleys, I figure they are run by a knuckle head. This is a terrible time economically for so many people, but thinking a bowling alley is an essential service is just idiocy. How many people will lose their lives because of foolish decisions? How many doctors, nurses, first responders, etc. will be endangered? Believe me, I need a hair cut because I called to cancel my last appointment which was scheduled for the day before the State shut down all beauticians. Actually, what I really need is an open quilt shop, some wonderful place where I could go and fondle and buy my real necessity, fabric. Praying all stay safe and use good sense. Now is the time to actually cut into that fabric we have been hoarding for years. Let's face it, if all of us quilters had hoarded as much toilet paper as we have fabric, the world would be set for TP for years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395305100178768668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-50260514941202670512020-04-23T11:00:50.858-04:002020-04-23T11:00:50.858-04:00Bonine worked for my kids on our boat.

I do believe that if we start relaxing what we've been doing, we're going to be in a much worse place than we are right now!

It was different than any other cough he had ever had and we feel he probably had the virus. Living in Florida, the weather has been so nice it is hard to imagine any virus lingering around. And our numbers aren't bad either. Anxious for the beach to open back up on May 1 so we can walk on it. Staying our distance. Thankfully, you have provided entertainment with Unity and Zoey. I am using up lots of stored patriotic fabrics with stars. Nearly out of golds that I subbed for aqua. I might have to buy some next time I can visit a store. I wonder if you have estimated the yardage going into Unity. It would be nice to know.

I especially love your photos, and can feel your love through the web!<br /><br />I have had several dogs (including the current two) who got car sick. My vet recommended soda crackers and riding in the front seat until they got their "sea legs" and a little maturity. All of them go over it before they were 18 months old. I liked this solution as I didn't have to worry about drug allergies and reactions. Zoey is awesome, and I can tell you know exactly what to do to bring out her best. <br /><br />Thanks for giving me daily smiles.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902258222639848073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-64086195940605785222020-04-23T02:01:30.250-04:002020-04-23T02:01:30.250-04:00Spring is so lovely.

LOL @ Zoey - and you made me fidget dance today with the Shania Twain in the background.<br />Totally agree - too soon to start back up, although I feel sorry for the youngsters who desperately want to see friends and be free. My son (30 this year) works at a special school during the day and it's X-box with friends in the evening. He is living alone at the moment, but I know he's having fun with them - they were and still are a nice bunch of kids. Daughter still working and is going to be a kitten mummy soon. I'm excited - but I won't be able to see them while they are tiny.

Nevertheless please remember, the true reason we did this was to slow down the virus long enough to get our health care system ready. We now have treatments, PPE supplies, rapid testing, etc. that we previously lacked. Although there's more to do the time has come for many places to begin opening. I, for one, would like to have a healthy country/economy and delay is the enemy of that goal.Ruth L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10143512357326773631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-11005541595134728962020-04-22T20:48:28.539-04:002020-04-22T20:48:28.539-04:00My husband and all my daughters are "essentia...My husband and all my daughters are "essential" workers, so they have been working every day during this pandemic. A couple of them wear a mask, depending on where they are working, and some don't. So far, they haven't gotten sick nor have they brought anything home to their families. They are in GA, TX, OK, and WA, while I'm in NV. I've been isolating basically for the last 4 years caring for my dad, so nothing is different for me, except that I am now alone, except for my 2 dogs. Hard to know what to do...businesses are going under, never to return, taking people's livelihood with them, so I understand their need to get back to work. I figure I can decide for myself when I feel safe going out with a mask on...since I have asthma, and have so much to do in my dad's house, I'll be home for quite a while. There definitely aren't any big parties or travels in my immediate future!!Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-75992324454625341272020-04-22T19:50:01.406-04:002020-04-22T19:50:01.406-04:00Check for a children's formula of Dramamine or...Check for a children's formula of Dramamine or Bomine.
