No problem... just stick them in the deep freeze ... then a month later when school starts up again, pop them back into the incubator.

The kids were so bummed.
I made my plea to my admin... "Consider the chicks" I said, "Think about the baby birds." He laughed. Pretty sure he thought I was joking.
I'm going to send video to my kiddos, and let them know when they're hatching.

That is just horrible why was it so important to close that day ?
Did they not feel any remorse ?

Wasn't someone saying that was what Costco was like? Someplace in the lower 48?

That's Costco, Sam's Club, Walmart, and just about every other place in the Lower 48.

MN schools have from March 18-27 to figure out resources for "extended distance learning". We can only assume that means we won't be going back anytime soon. During this mandatory shutdown, schools are required to provide daycare for kids of health care workers ages preschool to 12 years old. Our school is also offering daycare for staff members' kids as well. The paras are expected to do the daycare. I have requested an alternative job since my DH is 65 years old and susceptible to respiratory problems when he gets sick. I have not heard yet what I will be doing.

My son and family were here for the weekend. They will be coming back Wed. - Friday, and I won't be surprised if DIL and the kids stay here when he goes back for his weekend shift. They're ready to leave the big city ASAP. I don't know if he has put in his notice or not. He was going to be done in May, but he is talking about quitting sooner. Grandson is excited about making pancakes with Grammy. I bought a bunch of seeds today, so we can start some plants while they're here.

Room, I hope your boy gets home soon.

They can't fight the system .And don't want to.The tale will be told when The chrildren are tested later to see what they retained.

Got a call this afternoon saying the center will be closed for 30 days. So i have a thirty day jail sentence more or less. I can pick up my feeds but not dog food .Can't go anywhere that has a magazine rack.TSC has a very expensive one .So Ben can't go there.It wll be a long thirty days .Going to turn off my alarms .Maybe catch up on lost sleep.Where Dw works everyone with unlimited internet.Has been sent home to work from home.We have limited hot spot internet .So she has to stay there to work.She works for a drug supply house ,a very large supply house . What gets to me in all this is the total selfesh way people are acting.We have 50 + rolls of TP ,,That should last a 100 + days
Watching tv today ,from the ultra highend district of the city.All the Tp they could pile on thier shopping cart. Not worring about others at all .People are buying cases of frozen dinners .So the stores are placing limits on how many they can by.Thing is every city has cold storage warehouses that stay pretty full .Cows have to be milked or they go dry .Dry cows means broke farmers.So milk will continue to flow.And with spring in the air ,production should increase.
How the hell did we let these fools get control of our country? Everyone needs to be tested and retested .I just can't believe there aren't swabs and pitry dishs enough to test the whole country .So what are in the millions of test kits they are sending out.A sterile cultur swap is a sterile sterile swab.We are being lied to yet again.So we wait for the test kits (a sterile swab and a sterile tube to put the swab in ) to be built .And the people who had a nagitive test this week might have a positive test next month .And we just won't know .We have to call to set up a test ,which we can't get unless we are showing systems .Unless of course your the President and his team of butt kissers . And all this is just IMO.But I ain't mad .

Thanks! It’s Orrs boy, but thank you on behalf of her & her family. I had to pause for the briefest second to do a mental inventory of my menagerie, just to make sure I hadnt lost someone along the way,

I hope they accommodate your request. It sounds like new normal has you more exposed than your old normal.

My SIL is a mail carrier. They have given them exactly zero protection. No gloves, no antibac, no wet wipes. It’s absolutely ridiculous. She has a tiny bottle of hand sanitizer that she brought from home. Now with the restaurants closed there are very few places she can run in to wash her hands. It’s infuriating!

Thanks for clarifying! I realized after I posted that it was Orr's boy, but for some reason you two are interchangeable in my head. Sorry for making you think you may have lost one!

Orr - I hope your boy gets home soon!
