Sad that the use of Echinacea went down when antibiotics had been discovered. Good old medicine that our grandmothers knew is not always bad. I learned a lot about meds made of herbs, weeds, blossoms and other plants when I bought a sick horse. She suffers an old bronchitis and had a lot of mucos in her lungs. She was coughing often and not really rideable because of her lung disfunction. But she was a wonderful horse and so I bought her though I knew she was sick. After I owned her 2 years she was fully recovered and ran like a machine without lung problems. It was a great pleasure riding her ! Within these 2 years I saw a lot of other horses that suffers the same health problem like mine . These horses had been treatened by normal vets. Most of these horses went to the slaughter....
Btw: I love baked beans. The "American style" with tomato sauce !:)
Sabine, I love you ?! If only I were closer, we could share our country’s best made, soul healing drink recipes..... and try them all together!

I don't know if retired people, like me, are eligible to receive the check from the President's stimulus package, but if I am, I'd like to know who I can give mine to where it can do the most good. Anyone have any suggestions?

Yes.
Us retired people are also getting it.
If you filed taxes last year, you're getting it.
Needy people are everywhere.
You don't have to look hard. Just listen.
Tip big. Be generous.
$1,200 doesnt go very far.

You get it if you pay taxes, and I know you do...Keep the damn money Yvonne...it's yours and you will need it eventually....and if you are bound and determined to give it away...remember me up here in the wilds of Oregon...

My county gave the stay at home order last night. All non essential businesses must close.

It's been that way here for over a week now...I have to take a 2 lane 55 mph hiway to town, and usually it's relatively heavy traffic...yesterday, no body, I was supposed to go the the hospital to get my monthly labs, or I wouldn't have ventured out...well...lol, maybe that's not exactly true...but as long as I was out anyway...I went to the Safeway...empty streets, empty shelves (at 6am)...and the employees...gone...a skeleton crew...and a 3/4 inch thick plastic shield to protect the clerk...X's on the floor telling me where to stand...they don't even bag your groceries...oh, and when I bought cat food last friday it was .55 a can...yesterday the same can was .69...isn't that price gouging in some way? For some reason, it affected me...people were white stony faced and tense...no smiles and no heard talking. My right hand and arm were injured in an accident in 2003, it doesn't work right...so here I am holding everyone up, fumbling and dropping stuff, the clerk staring at me, but no help...So I went home and skipped the hospital...safely home, whew...I 'think' I'm set for abt 3 weeks now.
Some how we just all need to stay together, support each other and we will survive

I've also noticed the price of things going up. Ive always bought the Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls for $2.00, yesterday went I went to the store they're now $3.69. Seems like price gouging to me.

No fever going on 3 days.
Tomorrow I'm planning on going on my walk that I usually do every morning.
Should be ok. That park is more or less abandoned on a regular day. And we're on lockdown.
I ride a bike to fight the flab and pass through a city park as I leave my neighborhood and venture out into the world. The park is full of walkers, joggers, strollers, dogs, etc. Everyone is keeping their distance, but it is clear that cabin fever is much more prevalent than corona. Lockdown, schlockdown...
