Thank you Fluffy.
Here in Baltimore, someone removed the basketball hoops from the backboards overnight. The park has no gates to lock. Or somebody just needed some hoops, wouldn't the first time they have gone missing.

I have an ulterior motive. I'm trying to?...nudge my brother into painting adorable dog paintings. His paintings end up hilarious.love...Oh yea ...cute doggie pictures are needed here right now!?
Me too. I took a screen shot of this post to make mental notes about my dogs! ??Mark1 I'm with you. You will have to look this up ZenHarper, but we in the medical community were warned years and years ago that giving the Chickenpox vaccine to children would eventually create a Shingles epidemic and sure enough it has. In the past when children developed Chickenpox, a mild childhood virus for most, they would inadvertently boost the adults in the family including the grand-parents. This helped prevent Shingles later in life. Now we have an epidemic of Shingles in adults and the younger children too. When an adult comes in contact with a child who has been given the Chickenpox vaccine or an adult who has been given the Shingles vaccine they now have a much greater probability of developing Shingles. We also see a large group of adults vaccinated with the Shingles vaccine who develop Shingles for life. Not fun.
So if with having chickenpox in my youth I have a very low chance of getting Shingles! Please be real and not internet nonsense!Mark1 I'm with you.

Fear, uncertainty, panic, mistrust, disunity... Seems to be working.Where in the heck do you get your numbers. How is your spreading fear of the government ok but the so called government propaganda bad. Please stop pretended this isn't serious. If we can't trust any of the figures out there we can't trust yours either.
I guess it's sir but I don't feel like one lol. This has nothing to do with fear of the government and has everything to do with spreading fear and confusion with conspiracy theories not based in facts. We have a serious problem on our hands and the actions we take as a society will have a huge affect on peoples lives. I never said we should blindly trust anyone. We need to follow CDC and WHO guidelines and not be looking for reason to make light of this. Now is not the time to spread mistrust it is the time to come together and help one another. Wait until we have medicine that has been proven to work and a vaccine then spread all the government hate you want. I'm not here to argue with you or anyone else. Just know there are many people on here who need to be cautious because their lives may depend on it.Fear, uncertainty, panic, mistrust, disunity... Seems to be working.
Sir or Ma'am, if you are not afraid of your government, you have not been paying attention for the last few decades.
Most of us are able to feel sympathy and empathy for others. It’s a matter of being able to put yourself in other peoples positions or stoping yourself and remembering past experiences of your own. Covid 19 is REAL. No one has said its fake and its a conspiracy. Our species is over populated thus making viruses and infection inevitable (rats and cockroaches anybody? Yep, those are ours!) I know 2 people who are infected, one has recovered and one was admitted to the hospital yesterday and is getting worse.I really have trouble following some of the more recent posts here and the apparent trend to discount this issue. I just this evening got a group message from a very good friend of mine that I used to do semimars and public speaking with. This is a very strong, active individual. Was one of the top female softball players in the world that did world tours and taught olympic players. Thought it may provide a needed perspective:
Good people. I wanted to tell you that Rosemary and I have tested positive for COVID-19. We believe we were infected on Friday 13. I started having serious symptoms a week ago. We were lucky enough to get tested pretty quickly, and it became official Wednesday. You should know that these symptoms are no joke. I have never been so sick in my life, and I’ve had a few tangles with other illnesses. COVID 19 is overwhelming.
I thought I was being careful. I’m not a risk-taker with my health, but I got it anyway. I am right in the middle of this thing and weeks and months ahead of almost everyone I know. I want you all to understand that it’s worse than you think. Way worse.
When you have a choice between your normal habits and what you know to be safer habits, I don’t want you to think twice. Please err on the side of health, yours and the other people’s you come into contact with. If I knew two weeks ago what I know now, I wouldn’t have left our home, for however long it takes.
I can’t do much about my situation now, I’ve got to ride this thing out and hope for the best. But there’s lots you can do. If this message can make you re-think how seriously you’re taking COVID-19, I will feel like my message is successful .....even while I’m lying here in my bed. I’m encouraging you and cheering you on to be smart, for yourself and the rest of us. I don’t want to see any more of my friends getting sick.
Rosemary S Harris symptoms are gone...thank goodness. If you see her walking our dogs, please avoid her and do not pet our dog. We are trying to stay away from them but they aren’t having it and we are worried it’s on their fur.
This will not be over by Easter. Cuomo seems to be the truth teller right now. Over 600 are waiting for tests from St. Francis. I know our city is doing all we can but please do your part. I am in awe of our first responders. Truly.
I will post again in a few days. Please don’t call us. Our phones are off. We don’t need one thing.
Please stay safe. Much love to all.

I don't understand this quote. You are a male, but don't feel like one? What do you mean by this? Is it a joke that I'm not getting? Sometimes jokes go right over my head...I guess it's sir but I don't feel like one lol.
