We could vote. And just for a change, the ones with the most votes wins.

I like the pattern for this one from the NYTimes. If I had a machine and could remember how to use it, I’d make some. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/31/opinion/coronavirus-n95-mask.html

They need to deputize people to handle spam when the Lindens are not around. AND GIVE US A HUG BUTTON!

Yes the data is clear, any kind of mask, even a bandana, helps significantly. The problem is we still don’t have enough for the soldiers we are sending into battle for us (in hospitals). Look at this graph: https://www.maskssavelives.org/?fbclid=IwAR0d3hF3EhBcHgUp22v6xtAGQO6J7UGWpw46J8KPAHf0r-h1FVCe8KUL9MI

My DIL spins, weaves, and knits. I have never knitted but I know it is a huge community. Joyce Vance mentions it often. Also she and my son have a large garden and raise chickens. My daughter makes kefir and sauerkraut and other fermented stuff.

I did crosstich! I made a really beautiful sampler for my daughter. Only took me eighteen years to finish it.

When my kids were little I sewed, baked all our bread, made yogurt and muesli , grew our vegetables etc. They only remember eating a lot of Mac and cheese when I went back to teaching.

Well it’s been a long time and so many got killed I can’t remember examples. But it was not like with Sopranos, where I was always glad when they killed someone off, they were all so despicable. You can’t show the human side of some characters because there is none. Kind of like certain world leaders.

Really, it’s this thread that makes me believe the human race is not done for. Take THAT, Coronavirus! 👊💀

It is brilliant but I had to take periodic breaks from watching. I would declare that I can’t take anymore, but always sneaked back in, until I finished it. Then went on to Better Call .

It’s just now showing up here in central Texas, which means it’s been here undercover a while. Two deaths so far. Interesting that the people mid range age getting hit much harder than the over 60s. Probably because the oldsters are not so sure any more they are immortal. Thank God they cancelled SXSW or we would be another New Orleans. Grateful my whole family went immediatrly into paranoid prepper mode. Have not had to nag anyone but my husband, but it even has his attention now.

Well said Rose.

Oh that one! Is it a bot? I remember well the bot spam from years ago. Filled pages. Took LL a while but they stopped it.

Darn I hate to miss spammers before they whoosh! And yes there need to be non US mods for sure!

Sweet Rose, remember what we are to do with our pearls. 🙂

My comment was about the limits of science/logic, not about Paul’s or any other Christian point. I am a Christian existentialist. My POV was formed by other Christian existentialists such as Kierkegaard and Tillich. So I would never, and could not be induced to, discuss my POV with anyone on the Internet, AKA casting pearls.

Rhonda, I don’t know where any of this comes from. Maybe read my previous comments.

I realized at age eight that things don’t just appear out of nothing. I figured everyone knew that but pretended they didn’t. I still think that.

i Don’t think people understand that for whatever reason, it is scientifically and logically impossible for the universe to exist. Even if you ignore that, life can only come from life.

Reported.

I don’t see the spammer, but I noticed a few days ago one disappeared in another thread that I hadn’t bothered to report (because didn’t want to burden mods). So I think the mods are on the ball.

The CDC should promote this video!

So well said, Rolig!

That’s a good question. Maybe someone with more energy would like to explain how faith works. (I would recommend Kierkegaard but...)

You presumably don’t believe, so you can answer why not as well as anyone.
