(((Hugs))) Caves!

This is a challenging time for everyone, you are not alone. Your going out into the "wild" so to speak to make a plan is a very primal response and nothing to be ashamed of.

I myself have decided to limit my intake of the news because it's not helping me. If it doesn't serve you - eliminate it.

I check a few updates like our Covid thread here and let it go at that. The media is loving the action and excitement even though I am sure as individuals they are worried also.

For the media, this Covid thing is like when a hurricane is coming. If you are a Florida TV weatherman.....its your Oscar moment!

Better to not feed my mind that junk food I think

What Is Your Favorite Decade or Time Period to Live In?

some people say this decade is the most advantage and so they are happiest in the present.

some long for the good old days before cell phones and computers.

if you could live in an era or decade , when would it be?.

I would go further back but one question....can I take my antibiotics with me?

If so, I would have loved to live on a ranch out west after the threat of being scalped was over - around the turn of the century.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

by Simon in

jw
friends

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

The CDC estimates influenza deaths in the U.S. this season (October 2019 - March 2020) at 24,000 to 62,000.
I think I know where you're going with this on a Covid-19 thread, but I hope I'm wrong.

I agree. The argument of how this is similar to (or needs to be handled as) the flu is an old one (if you can consider week 4 or so of an argument during a pandemic "old").

The true measure is not the death rate only. The contagion rate is a factor. The flu is like being chased by your grandma - Covid is like being chased by a Doberman.

The org is a perfect example of a non essential business that needs to shut down.

WT, and more contact, Do you think it is Narc Hoovering?

by Wakanda in

the behavior from the org lately had me a bit confused, as it seemed to fall outside of their norm.

i'm not talking the hardcore armageddon wishers texting each other about peace and security, etc.

* but, the elders contacting people daily, and having extra meetings where they have all their additional rules.

I dont know but I would love to know what the head Narcs up at headquarters are thinking right now.

Love that van idea Pete. I have always wanted to do that!

I have self isolated except for judicious shopping for supplies. I go at the crack of dawn when the store opens and not many people are around. I dont mask or glove because I want to save the masks and gloves for if needed (so far in my area it isnt).

I got tired pretty fast of the wet wipes with long chemical names and also they felt slimy and very thin plus they are overpriced and now they are non-existant!

So it was make my own time! (I'm waiting for my son, a long time prepper, to tell me he is so proud of me)

I tried a couple of different ideas before I found one I liked. I like the one below because it is 3 ingredients (one being water - easy enough) and because it has a high alcohol content.

These are so big and luxurious we all love them. I have been making them for everyone.

Here is the video with the proportions I like

I put mine in a plastic Folgers coffee container, make an X across the top of the lid and then fan it open and pull the first wipe through for pop up dispensing.

Personal story

by Youngaposthate in

i was raised in this sect, 1st gen. was isolated from any family.

family as always instead of being a backbone of support, victim blamed.

Such good advice and links at a time when we are all desperate for accurate, calmly given information.

You are an amazing person and a true healer.

Will Governor Cuomo be the Next President?

by RubaDub in

jw
friends

trying to put politics aside (even though that won't really work), but ny governor andrew cuomo is blowing the other politicians out out the water (orange man [trump] and the lizard [biden]).. i don't know if cuomo has a usb port in the back of his head plugged into a hard drive but the guy speaks, analyzes and talks coherently.

the orange man always passes difficult questions to someone else.

the lizard can't comprehend what the question is but tries to answer something.. cuomo comes out with facts, analysis and direction on what needs to be done.

He has intelligent speech writers.

He's on right now....dancing around why exactly he claimed he needed 30,000 ventilators RIGHT NOW when they weren't even using the ones they had.

He claims it was "anticipatory" need which may or not be true at some point (good going speech writers!)

Before all of this, I was neutral where he was concerned. After all that has come out about him and to a much larger degree watching him with my own eyes at his briefings.....I wouldn't put him in charge of feeding the ducks at the pond.
