'Trash'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.
Didn't see if anyone else posted this, but javachik has been posting on FB. She's in the middle of a cross-country move, which is obviously not ideal, but otherwise fine.
One nice thing this week... my brother contacted me and we've been messaging back and forth. We've always gotten along, but he's not good about communicating so this is a nice change. He's a social guy so staying in is challenging for him. He and my nephew are working from home now and his SO (who is a nurse) in on as-needed status. I suspect she's embracing the isolation while she can.
I thought of the sanitizer thing after an appointment where a woman was complaining about how drying it was and saying that, by the time THIS crisis ends, we'll all have infections in our cracked hands.
Ha! I tempered my hands in turpentine and linseed oil long ago; the increase in handwashing frequency actually seems to be improving the skin on them.
I am allergic to the hand sanitizer and the new soap at work. So my hands are fin, but I am a sneezy, Ronny nose mess. I think I have to buy soap and bring it in.
Great news! That whole Buffista cohort is going to high school next year or the year after.
Right! Great news, billytea!
Owen is DRIVING. Let me repeat: DRIVING in a CAR.
Owen is NOT driving in a car! (Is he? Ohmygod.)
Nope. Owen was sitting in a high chair during the Ohio trip, which was at the most 10 years ago! How does time keep speeding up.
There was something I can't-even-begin-to-comprehend-nor-explain in Israeli Parliament today ( [link] and [link] ), and Israelis found a perfect way to protest without violating the health ban against gathering (up to 10), keep distance of at least 2 meters from one another, and still count as a protest: protest, but in cars. 1-2 in each car (2 if from the same household), no violation of health ban! (Unless the government will order a full quarantine starting from tomorrow).
I have no idea what to say about the news and I do not like the angle of the protest, but I love creative thinking and thinking that what's happening is chaotic disgrace.
