I got to take a break today from my sheltering in place due to the coronavirus pandemic.

BudFrank comments on Mar 19, 2020:

Thank you for your service

Phew the virus is making for fresh memes anyway?

I liked this one too

Just wanted to say that teachers should earn at least $50,000 a month.

Hang in there. This will pass, in about 15 years

Today's steep hike: scared and fighting panic.

BudFrank comments on Mar 17, 2020:

I’m glad you’re ok. Glissade is a good french word for sliding, or a run of musical ilnoties up or down the scale. It’s a cool word to know.

After today I will be working remotely from home until at least April 3rd.

BudFrank comments on Mar 17, 2020:

Take care.

Welcome to the group

Good Evening Everyone! Well this Cornavirus Pandemic is starting to affect our lives.

BudFrank comments on Mar 13, 2020:

My parents are 90 and 92. They are in a retirement home. My siblings and I are monitoring the situation. We are taking turns watching them closely. There are 6 of us so we can each take a week and it not be too burdensome. My week will be when I get home from Nashville.

Looking to buy a house in the area. What do you think?

BudFrank comments on Mar 13, 2020:

Go left for more reasons than one

Why do the faithful fear coronavirus?

BudFrank comments on Mar 13, 2020:

I have religious friends who were declaring that Jesus has forgiven them for everything which includes coronavirus apparently. I can’t see any sort of logic to that. Does that means they don’t need to wash their hands???

Can anyone tell me if this is a red flag?

BudFrank comments on Mar 6, 2020:

Don’t feel guilty. It is a way to check someone’s patience. I hadn’t thought of that.

Good Evening Everyone! Home early on a Saturday night by my lonesome. Whatsup with that?

BudFrank comments on Feb 29, 2020:

Nice picture. I had a couple of combis over the years, including a 1968 split windshield. It ended its days In Africa

Consider yourself slapped.

BudFrank comments on Feb 29, 2020:

Ouch! I didn’t really mean it!

Ok so Frankie and I just went through a rough time tonight.

I may go back to Florida. I’ll probably go down to Georgia again to see cousins, and maybe back to Virginia. All my plans are tentative. I can be pretty spontaneous.

OK, this was a snort-laugh!

BudFrank comments on Feb 26, 2020:

Taking the kids to school we used to cross railroad tracks. When they had a new friend in the car, I’d say, “oh, look! A train just went past!” The unsuspecting friend would ask, “How can you can tell?” To which I would reply, “Cant you see it’s tracks?” It got so bad we assigned a number to that joke (from another joke) and whenever we crossed the tracks I’d say, “27!” And they’d groan.

If you're over 40....

BudFrank comments on Feb 25, 2020:

I’m trying to eat more salads too. But today I’m on a clear liquid diet. Colonoscopy tomorrow so I’ve got to be really good. I did decide that white wine is an clear liquid so I’m including it on today’s diet.

And so the chaos begins.

BudFrank comments on Feb 24, 2020:

I get up at 5:45 to go volunteer two days per week but enjoy staying in bed later other days. I don’t stay up too late as a rule. I guess I’d say a little of each
