Thanks Steven always looking for updates on the corona.I went to the store yesterday and there are shields in front of the store associates scary stuff but what are we to do.Wash hands and do the best we can.I watched a man on utube lick a vegitable and a worker slapped him down to the ground he so deserved this.I wash everything I get even milk jugs.It makes you realize how many people werent washing their hands.Im gonna go ahead and say this men stand to go to the bathroom were they not washing their hands and handling things afterwards goodness gross.My 4 year old grandson always washes his hands after he goes to the bathroom I dont even have to tell him.
Sometimes it's hard to find that balance between having a healthy level of fear about this pandemic, but not letting it overwhelm you. For those whose work puts you or your loved ones in contact with the public in any capacity, I know you have an added level of stress. For many who live alone, social distancing could be a challenge after this much time. Thank God for the Internet!
I try to focus on what I can control, because there is so much that I can't. I can control whether I go shopping in a store or order groceries (started doing that last week), I can control social distancing, hand washing, wearing a mask, how much news I watch etc. We've all been thrust into this difficult experience, but at least it's a shared experience and somehow, that makes things easier.
JB050...I like the idea of starting a new hobby, but no, I haven't done so yet. I also feel exhausted at the end of the work day, even though I am working from home.
MHZ...How cool that you have a Brian May guitar! That is on my dream list of purchases! A couple years ago my husband gave me the book "Queen: Easy Piano Collection". I had tried playing the first part of Bohemian Rhapsody on an electronic keyboard, but it didn't sound very good and I gave up. I should try again, although I really like the idea of having a player-piano that could do Queen songs with me pretending to play along! :)
Steve...Thanks for sharing what's happening in Germany. With your interest in World War 1, did you happen to watch Peter Jackson's film "They Shall Not Grow Old"? Amazing documentary achievement.
Chevy...Glad you have a grandson who brings you such joy. Little tykes love their dinosaurs!
Lsgp....Ha ha! Yes, I bet there will be a lot of "corona babies". Maybe even an upswing in the number of boys named "Anthony" after Dr. Fauci.
Amidds....What do you crochet? My grandmother taught me how to crochet granny squares, so I made a quilt with her guidance about 45 years ago. I have definitely forgotten how to crocet, but I still have the quilt.
Katydyd....I hope you took a picture of your grand kids during their visit. What a wonderful image of them sticking their heads of the skylight of the van. Sweet moment!
A couple days ago was the first time I had gotten out of the house to do anything fun in weeks. I went metal detecting with my husband in a large, unplanted corn field. Didn't find anything except a lot of nails and 2 musket balls. I wore my new Freddie "The Show Must Go On" tee-shirt thinking it would bring me luck. As I took a break, eating a sea-salt chocolate covered caramel, and looking around at that quiet scene before me, watching my husband detecting in the distance, I did, indeed, feel very lucky.

Steven, thanks for sharing your experience in Germany. Normally I'm a news junkie but I've started rationing what I watch for now so I wasn't as aware of the situation there as I might normally be. It sounds like you are taking some good precautions to protect yourself. Actually I like the idea of the bicycle because not only will it get you around, but it will also give you exercise. I'm sorry it's been difficult for you to order groceries, but again, I'm sure you are taking precautions. It does seem like people are pulling together and there are many examples of kindnesses out there.
So far I've ordered my groceries delivered twice. Scheduling a delivery date has been the issue, but I just keep hopping on the computer and checking until I can get a date. It's usually just a day's wait. I eat a lot of fresh produce so that means my buyer is touching my food directly. The first time I ordered I got two heads of butter lettuce. Well, as soon as I took them out of the bag I looked at them and I threw them away. Too much of a risk. I don't know what I was thinking, but it will be bagged salad from now on. I don't feel safe going to the grocery store at this time. I'm hearing too many stories of people getting angry over what seem to be small issues. Plus I'm so not crafty that I don't have the materials here that I need to make a face mask. MY DIL is sending me some hair ties and then I'll make one from an old tee shirt. I don't know why because I'm still not going out.
Rainbow, I had to laugh. You said you took a break eating "a" sea-salt caramel. I don't normally keep chocolate around but I can't imagine if I had sea-salt anything chocolate around that I would be limiting to one. You must be a strong woman!

Rainbow, We will survive this they survived alot worse in the 80s and there are some here today to tell their experiences and stories.We didnt have social media then and they didnt know what was causing the AIDS virus for a while.At least they know what's causing this virus right away thank God for that.My family was affected directly with the virus in the 80s with my uncle when nothing was really known but I'm sure he got the virus from multiple sex partners .It still affects a mother greatly to loose her son .I'm sure it affected Freddie's mom too.Life after death does have to go on it was a pretty dark sad period then with young men and women losing their battles but out of that came a rainbow and a purpose and reason for these tragedy's.I think the message is safe sex some idiots blamed it on men having sex and to stop doing it.Thats nuts those desires are the way we are created. Safe sex was the answer and it slowed the transmission down.They will figure out s reason why this virus is here and what will slow it down or stop it as well.
Steven....I forgot to mention the recent movie "1917". The way it was filmed was stunning...like you were walking in the trenches with the soldiers. I consider it a masterpiece of film making.
Katydyd....I had two sea-salt chocolate caramels with me but only ate one! I have 4 large plastic containers of them in the cupboard but usually only eat 2 per day!
I wonder how Freddie would have dealt with social distancing? No parties at Garden Lodge, no touring with Queen, no going out to restaurants and clubs. He would have found this incredibly difficult. Who knows though, he might have created some amazing music because of being isolated (Well, he wouldn't have been totally isolated. I know he had Jim, Joe, and Peter at GL...but I don't think a party of 4 would have been satisfying for a long period of time!)

Freddie would have gotten cabin fever.
Hey, I tried to go back to find who first introduced us to the Finding Freddie episodes, but I couldn't find it. Was it Amidds? JB?? I don't want to step on anyone's toes by posting a link to the latest, but it's worth a look. It is part 4 of the making of Barcelona, and has a few short stories that were new to me.

Cabin fever? Like Jack Nicholson in "The Shining"?
"Here´s Freddie!" :D

Steven, I love that movie here's Johnny.
Chevyman, have you seen "Room 237"? It´s a documentary about different interpretations of "The Shining". You only hear the theorists expound accompanied with clips from the movie. Some theories are hair-raising, like "Kubrick the director) hinted at his staging the moonlandings". But it´s interesting and sometimes entertaining how people can Interpret a movie in so many different ways, or project their own fantasies on it. :D
Steen, I need to check that out thanks.
I wanna wish everyone that celebrates Easter Happy Easter!Still practice your distancing go out on your boat alot of people fishing my way.If you got kids or family near by order a delivery service to give them a dinner from you.There are ways to not let this whole thing rain on your parade.Remember make a toast to one another and we do have social media send eachother pics.God Bless!
I don´t know. The documentary is 2 hours long, and most of the theories are complete BS or just analytic overkill.
Lspg. I 2nd that. Busier working from home. Really grateful am working but have definitely noticed that too. Working this weekend too for Tuesday deadline.
My heart and gratitude also to Amidds daughter. We have friend who is a nurse who got it, a week later she was feeling better and said she was ready to go back to work. Amazing, courageous, selfless people.
Love the hobby answers. I know I sure sound like a very broken record but I do need to catch up. Really great to see everyone gathering here.
I have been getting my Queen and Freddie fixes in.
Best to all. Hope you are all safe and well.
