Hey COVID-19 handwashers! Describe the skin on the back of your hands using only sandpaper grit size.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Some folks are getting a little cabin feverish with this self isolation shit.


It's kind of nice being able to live without any stress. You know everyone else is in the same boat and you know there isn't a hell a lot you can do about it except just do what's advised by the experts so you don't add to the problem and that's ALL anyone expects of you. Nice feeling.

Yesterday a friend posted an article on FB that took me by surprise. Apparently many people have been going to shrinks because of the Coronavirus.DO they not grasp that it is a virus, not a head case?

If you've ever suffered from mental illness you'd realise this sort of thing can put tremendous amounts of stress on people with this affliction. Ever heard of #bellletstalk?

It's a real issue and this thing could push some people over the edge....literally.

I worry about them, having struggled with it myself.

It's going to get worse.

Expect a full lockdown within the next two weeks.

In the meantime, enjoy this beautiful Saskatchewan sunrise.

Never have, and I have no use for shrinks. There are better ways to deal with most mental issues than drugs that make you crazy.
Which is probably why I was amazed that anyone would go to one for a virus.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Which just reminded me of a story from my youth. Guy that grew up in the same camp as me went to I think Winnipeg with mom and gramma when he was about 5. SO when they woke up on the train somewhere east of the rockies he looks out the window and of course it was flat and bald. He goes running back to gramma yelling" Look Gramma, my dad has been here and he cut down every damm tree in the country.
