Thrive to spite them

My family is so far healthy except for the anxiety that this is causing. Matthew's mom still is mad the hospital here is going to be used for Covid-19 patients. She keeps saying that people are going to go visit them and then get infected and go to stores and we are all going to get it. I didn't remind her everyone will be in quarantine and can't have visitors but I did point out it's probably already here and I work in a store so I've been dragging germs home for weeks.

Her facebook friends tend to spread misinformation (not realizing it's misinformation) so she is also not even sure why they are setting up hospitals "they say on FB if it gets in your lungs you're dead. No point in even going to the hospital"

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

It occurred to me - one way someone could probably make some serious money - ethically - would be to develop something that would sanitize your hands without drying them out. A moisturizing sanitizer or sanitizing moisturizer.

Our wings are not tired.

My news blip mentioned an earthquake in Salt Lake City, and of course my first thought was if Connie felt the shake.

My doctors are all scrambling to do telemedicine since their waiting rooms are empty. Half of them are delighted with the notion of working from home.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My therapy appointment tomorrow is going to be telemedicine. That's going to be weird.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Toddson, also a quick way to sanitize the surfaces of anything coming into your home.

Because books.

Just had my first Zoom meeting with my new writers group! So nice to see faces, and we added a work session in while we were on, which was also productive. So that's a nice new thing to come out of this.

You can also share documents, if you want to ... doesn't always work as well as you might like (last time, the document by boss was sharing showed up as a 1" x 2" inset in the upper corner of the screen), but it's possible. Or so they say ....

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Toddson, once I get a link to out training I will share. It is probably your or their settings!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It occurred to me - one way someone could probably make some serious money - ethically - would be to develop something that would sanitize your hands without drying them out. A moisturizing sanitizer or sanitizing moisturizer.

Since the stuff that can break the lipids in the virus molecule tends to break down oils in general that would be quite a feat.

Now I'm wondering about a sonic solution. Using the natural frequency of an element of the molecule? Although chances are good that important parts of the body would have the same natural frequency.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Purell makes one (or used to), but it was AWFUL. We had it in the office less than 24 hours before everyone complained very loudly to facilities. The texture was incredibly offputting.
