Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Has anyone actually gotten a stimulus check? I haven't. I read in news that the president is considering a second round of stimulus checks. Doubt I will get one of those either.

It seems the only people who have received any money are those who get refunds by direct deposit. We owe every year so we don't have direct deposit set up with them. We have not received a paper check.

Thanks - she's a great kid, appreciative no matter what. The four person limit is a rough one for her. There is no way to avoid hurt feelings and, quite possibly, some open animosity. She chose her parents, her brother and her grandmother. Steps and Godparents will just have to deal. Most are being decent about it ... most!

I wish I could hug all the kids who aren't getting what they should this year. I wish they could all know how much they are loved and appreciated, and how much our hearts ache for them. I wish there were words to express all the feels, but there just aren't. Please tell them. We know. We can't fix this, but we do care. We really do.

Sorry, thought I posted this last night.

Thanks. I'll be sure to pass on your hugs! Our 4H kids - including my daughter - got a double whammy, last night. As if cancelling all of the nearby July 4th fireworks wasn't enough, Maryland 4H announced the cancellation of "all in-person activities" through the month of July. There will be no County Fair for them, this year. I think it's just a matter of time before the rest of the fair closes, as well. If kids can't hang out together in the barns, then the County certainly can't justify crowded grandstands for the rodeo or demo derbies. And can you imagine the logistics of disinfecting the Ferris wheel or the midway ball/ring-toss games after each use? Holy Cow! Like the old song says, "It's gonna be a looooooong, lonely summer..."

I'm sorry that you have to go through this.
However, it is good that you're still going strong -- that even with all those side effects, you're strong enough to tolerate them and keep going. Weaker people would have given up long ago, I think.
You have impressive strength and tenacity.
May you be blessed with many more years, and safety during this pandemic, FortCluck.

I’m living till I’m 80. My doctor and I have a bet going on. I have been super safe during this virus and wearing a mask and staying away from stores unless I truly need something.

Of COURSE you are!!! Growing up, my father used to terrify us all by declaring, very matter-of-factly, that he would never see 50. It wasn't an idle threat. He is one of 12 children. Until recently, none of them made it past 60 - and those who did were all sisters. His brothers were all gone by 55.
Dad just celebrated his 84th this Winter! He's not strong, but he's feisty! He and his wife are still living at home and maintaining everything for themselves. Modern medicine is amazing ... and I am extremely grateful!

It’s why I eat the way I do. I feel the more Whole Foods I eat the better I’m making my body. I have been sharing salads with the bunnies we have salad dates outside together. Oh the life I have right now... I wouldn’t trade it for anything

I overdid it with my work outs earlier LOL

There was a bit of a contest/game/competition/challenge going on.

Ended up doing 125 squats (at different times lol did do 75 of them in one sitting though ), 25 sit ups, and 15 push ups LOL

I went crazy LOL

"A bit"?????

Really?????

So. It's now "2 nights worth of sleep" since the manic fitness challenge.... How ya doing now??? Lactic acid subsided yet? Drank enough water, electrolytes, & anti-inflammatory stuff to walk semi-erect now?

No, you will probably be sitting with a heating pad behind your back!

How did that heating pad work out for you?

I hate hearing the commercials because the side effect list takes them almost the whole commercial to read through... side effects are getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

They should print side effects lists, on cereal boxes too!

Live a long time, I need someone around, to keep on teasing my posts!
