Semantics. Maybe you are actually a politician. Or a comedian. Or both.

What doesn't kill ya makes ya...hurt. <me rolling on the ground after the "fall".

My wrist is much better. I kept it wrapped after the icings. Shins are the bigger problem. Scraped them pretty good and even had some bruising. And I never bruise. It feels like I'm wearing shin guards but I won't be playing catcher. Could barely squat down to gather eggs. I wonder if an Epsom salt soak would help.

I have to go to work tonight. I wonder just how empty the shelves will be.

Yippee. Finally got a meager amount of pay for starting the Meijer job.
They issued a card that would be loaded with $. Not sure where it will be accepted. It's not a Visa or MC, it's something called Money Network. I'm not sure where it will be accepted. I tried to pay my DTE bill with a gift card from Wal Mart and it was declined. Same with my car insurance. I just love how trying to pay bills is made so damn complicated.

well I'm late to this dance again.... I suppose you'll see this after work at this point.
epson salt bath, soak will help once your , ummm, iirc 72hrs after the event...

I will recommend turmeric powder, or the root (similar to ginger in the produce section) is my staple for inflammation reduction/ holding it at bay since my VA knee surgery almost 20 months ago. I also use ginger as well.....

i have a morning "Tea" i do with them both, lemon juice and honey... sometimes I add cayenne to give it a real warm kick after its temperature goes lower then luke-warm.

Just sold 6 dozen eggs to a city guy who has a house up here. He brought his family up to hide from the virus. Maybe I should have asked for TP instead of cash.

Sure has been slow here. Is everyone practicing "social distancing"?

Say something good that happened to you or that you did. Lets turn up the positive, eh?

I've noticed some slow down of various forums and social media.
I think the sane are sitting tight and quiet...
....the panicked are ranting, and well, panicking.
Not much changed with my daily activity...tho have changed my shopping schedule to be less frequent.

Same here. Not much has changed except that I quit the gas station job early. I had given 2 weeks notice but that changed when she started the price gouging of necessary items.
I'm going to use the extra week to try to get things sorted out here before I start the new job on the 30th.

Worked outside off and on today. Got some tractor seat time and that is always a good time.

My kids are checking up on hubby and me. Nice to know they remember they have parents. lol

It was cold but sunny today, I had to have a serious conversation with the hens about breaking eggs in the nest boxes, I told them that since chicken is pretty scarce in the grocery store I could solve that problem right here at home if they don't start being more careful

Governor just told us to be closed until the 13th. But at least I should be able to get something out of MARVIN. Yay.

Wife and I happened to stop by FFH in Adrian friday afternoon, and they were just about out of chicks. All that they had in there was just some Bantams and a couple of guineas and turkeys. Adrian TSC just had ducks available. Guy at the FFH said that there was a lot of people panic buying chicks it seemed like. A lot of first time chicken owners looking at a more secure food source with everything that's going on. He said that he kinda felt sorry for some of the chicks that went out the door this week. Just kinda crazy.

Oh, and for those of you that need anything from Best Buy, they are switching to online ordering with either shipping or curbside pickup now for the next 2 weeks.
