Considering the gassy shit that is always coming out of it, covering the ugly thing up would only help the esthetics anyway. A couple of pieces of heavy duty duct tape would be an even better solution.

I much prefer social networking, which allows me to respond to the news and learn new things at the same time. I get to research facts I was pretty certain of and provide them to clueless trolls so they can swear at me ans call me names for telling the truth to their lies. And sometimes I get called out for a false statement, which I appreciate as well.

There will be changes, but humanity is humanity and the need to socialize, the love of good food and atmospherics, the need for the comfort of a familiar “family” style place to relax will come back. Most of these restaurants will win out and most places will reopen, most likely under the same owners. They will take out loans, find generous patrons to help with funding and the rush, once it is deemed safe to get out, will have it up and humming soon enough. Businesses survive wars, revolutions and disasters, they will survive a virus.

How true is this write-up which been doing the rounds on social media?

Barnie2years comments on Mar 28, 2020:

Conspiracy theory is generally based on some truth, much speculation, seeming logic and base fears. Kind of like religions. Many millionaires will figure out ways to monetize this disaster, in ways China would not be able to. Trump’s daily statements can produce million dollar gains for anyone with advance knowledge, like the Senators and House members who sold off large segments of stock shortly after getting classified information on the virus and before it became public. I haven’t seen it on here, but the American Military are making major adjustments in their operation in preparation for a war with China. That is far more frightening than the possibility of China taking a more colonial stance to obtain needed material for their industries.

My feelings exactly! I worked for Bernie last time and was crushed when he lost the nomination. But I held my nose and voted for Hillary. Sadly, no matter which of these two win, I will vote for them because it is the only chance we have of maintaining our democracy. But I would have much preferred have new blood come in as President, with knowledge of the current world order, modern technology, little baggage and a mind that actually works full time. But like the Republicans who held their nose and voted for the ass less likely to win, the Democrats have to get out the vote and hopefully both of them will pick good Vice Presidents so at least when they go off their rocker we will have gotten a good second string President.

This is just life as normal pretty much for me, I pretty much stay home by myself 90% of the time anyway. Thanks to the Internet, I never feel lonely.

I actually feel less alone because I have found communities of people that think at least close to my thoughts. Something I rarely felt before, so thanks all of you on here among others on Facebook. The only down side so far is with my Mom. She is in an independent living facility (beautiful apartment) but has not dealt well with the death of my father five years ago. She is a people person and the residence where she lives had a very active social schedule. Movies, live entertainment, ice cream socials, three meals a day etc. Due to the virus they have eliminated all of these, including only serving one meal a day which they require the residents to take out. They have also eliminated outside visitation. I usually went over two or three times a week, and we would eat out every Sunday. Since all restaurants are closed in PA, that is not going to happen for a while either. I am not sure how she is going to get through this isolation period, which could last for weeks if not months. But there is not much that can be done, given the circumstances.

Barnie2years comments on Mar 19, 2020:

Could be a matter of time before we start seeing this in the US, though I think the deer and the monkeys are an issue due to tourists reductions. That was their main source of food and since they are not coming around, the animals must search elsewhere. I am sure there are some areas in the US where tourist feeding is a primary source of food (Oatman, AZ comes to mind, with the wild donkeys, but they already take over the town during the day). I could see bears become a problem with less people going to cabins and camping, where they scrounge for food.
