Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Sweet dreams - just saw your post that you were going to sleep.♥️
Occasionally on this site we read about elderly with cognitive problems having guns. If that is the case, the guns need to be removed from the residence. These things can happen.
Terribly sad.
We are averaging two deaths a day. More hospitalizations too.
We have identified UK strains here which are more contagious.
Our state started off with vaccines for 70 and above.
They are going to start vaccinating on ages 65 and up soon.
The mayor was extremely opposed to our college students partying on Bourbon St. last weekend and NOT wearing masks!
She has said this is unacceptable behavior and will NOT be tolerated this weekend or next.
NO BARS, inside or outside will be open because every time people behave in selfish ways, like partying in the streets, there is a SURGE in COVID-19 with DEATHS occurring DAILY!!!
So, this will NOT be a repeat of Mardi Gras last year where we became a hot spot for COVID-19 shortly afterwards.
As the mayor said, we can have a safe and happy Mardi Gras. People still have our Mardi Gras spirit! We have our king cakes floating around. We have our houses decorated as floats in lieu of traditional parades and so on.
We shall see how this plays out.
The mayor invited a doctor to speak at this press conference.
The doctor’s final words were very poignant. She said, “Remember, you have to be alive to receive a vaccine. Please wear your masks and social distance.”
It is not easy for health care workers to see death on daily basis.
It’s so sad that there are so many conspiracy theories on the vaccines. Some statements presented as facts are outright lies!
Even more sad that people are still not taking COVID-19 seriously.
How many more people have to die before they stop their nonsense?
I was glad to hear our mayor say that she would rather be criticized for doing too much, rather than being criticized for doing too little.
Needhelp, I hope N.O can get COVID under control. I find myself increasingly frustrated at the experts and politicians. Nearly a year in to this and it seems like they all try the same thing over and over even though it doesn’t work. I don’t know the solution myself but it seems like we need a whole different approach. I don’t know about Louisiana but in CA we know that a good majority of our cases are coming from within households! But nothing is being done to address it. Instead they continue to keep everything shut down (and I am not saying they should open everything up, I am saying that everything shut down isn’t slowing the spread so maybe we need a different approach?)
♥️
So much of COVID is a mystery at this point in time.
Somewhere down the road I believe we will know a whole lot more.
Sorry to hear that your can has diabetes. Hopefully you can manage it.
Our fur babies are so special to us.
Hoping for the best regarding your mom and dad’s health. It’s so hard watching parents decline.
I swear that I typed CAT having diabetes! Not CAN!
I proofread. My phone is hexed!
This is a NEW Apple iPhone! That’s why it’s so frustrating. Grrrrr.
I am annoyed enough with my phone that I am considering looking at my settings and shutting off features too.
Yes, I may end up doing that.
One more thing. Hahaha 🤣, this should probably be in the whine section BUT my other gripe is that Siri can be mighty stupid at times. LOL
For instance, we are supposed to be able to dictate text messages, then just say ‘send.’
Okay, that’s great. I decide to use this feature and send a message to my daughter.
She called me up a second after the message was sent and asked me if I had been drinking! 😂 LOL
I told her that I was NOT drinking! I asked her why would she ask me that. It was morning time! She knows that I hardly ever drink anyway.
So she told me to read the text message that I sent.
Oh my gosh! Siri barely got any of it right and the message was insane!
I hope no one sends a message to their boss using Siri. LOL
I still have a flip phone but rarely use it anymore because since cataract surgery I can no longer read things small, reading glasses make me seasick, and trying to hold a magnifier while texting means having 3 arms.
Regarding Siri, my late boss was the only person I knew who would actually get into a verbal fight with Siri.
