@Priestess of Pie: I truly think we will see some good things out of all this.


@PurpdaBurpPurp: when I meditate I enjoy Merlins Magic for my relaxing music. No words just some great new age vibes.

@Count Trashula: I'm sorry to hear you've had no peace or quiet. Things will get better.

@Lucifera: nothing girlie about that. Good skincare is a must regardless. Do your thing...get your skincare on. :)

@Rocker: i am so sorry to hear that. We don't have many cases in my state but I see that at least some of panic has died down and people are actually being smarter about all this. Have you tried steam to help you breathe? I have chronic breathing issues and I'd boil a big pot of water on the stove, take a towel and then let the steam rise up and I'd use the towel to keep it on my face and easier to breath in the vapors. Or long hot showers helped. Your local pharmacy also should carry primatene most and primatene tablets. They help with breathing ans are OTC but the pharmacy probably keeps em behind the counter.

@onsenmark: I've worked in grocery. I feel you when it comes to calling you on your days off. :(

@Kingslowpoke: I can only imagine the orders and craziness. Bless your heart.

@sunny: I think we can choose how we cope. It is up to ourselves to direct our thoughts and actions. For instance, I'm taking this time to gain some new skills and certifications through online courseware. This adds to my resume and ultimately my long term goal of taking care of my boys ... My family. This can be viewed as an opportunity and not a setback.

@PurpdaBurpPurp: meditation is a great idea! I do lile ambient music when I sleep but making it a point to just let everything go and just be would be a great way to handle the current circumstances.

@koneko: not gonna lie, at first I was kinda like your mom. I paid closer attention and realized it may not be as crazy as the general public seems to think but it isn't as nonthreatening as I first believed either. We don't watch a lot of news right now at my house. We stick to the facts. The CDC, NIH, and the WHO. Scientists have the floor for this issue not the politicians or general public lol.

@Priestess of Pie: I love the way you think. I, too, have wondered about the social and psychological effects this will have on people. Crisis changes people and when you create a larger crisis in your own mind than what exists, well, that perception is your reality and it has an impact and consequences. I'm thankful there's less traffic and pollution due to the recommended isolation. The earth needs time to heal too.

@Totalanimefan: excellent recommendations. Fresh air is still our friend. Just don't be sharing your germs lol. And yes, take everything as it comes, no need to borrow tomorrow's items today. :) I think it is great to have s plan. Both a long term and short term plan for what to do. Things like reading or playing games are typically short term ideas. Long term, this is where you can do things that not only will keep you busy but provide you with some sort of accomplishment. Training a pet. Learning something new. Reaching out to new people. This creates a feeling and sense of accomplishment and purpose that helps to keep the negative talk and thoughts at bay. It isn't just busy work so to speak. Exercise, fresh air, and not just cleaning but clearing away and decluttering! It'll raise your spirits in the long run.

Excellent ideas and wonderful posts. Thank you all for sharing! I'm loving this. :)

@Scribartz: not sure about the cursing but I feel you. I think I'd be pretty po'd as well. Any option to possibly email them documentation? Have you tried speaking with the manager at tour local branch? Have you considered throat punches? Tbh I have had issues with my bank and will be changing. Big hugs and lots of 💜. I hope thing work out for you. 🤞

My first idea is, now is a great time for families to bond and regroup. I'm not saying spend every waking moment together but simple changes like having a sit down family meal and talking with one another, can create positive bonds and help bridge the gap between parents and kiddos and even between partners. So take the time to share a meal and make sure when you do you stick the phones and electronics somewhere outta sight. :)

You can even step it up a notch and cook a meal together. I know my goal is to get my son in the kitchen and teach him some things and to get my special guy in the kitchen as well and teach him, too!

So, I'm sitting here thinking.....it is only 2 days into our local selfimposed social isolation. Not quite quarantine though that word gets thrown around a lot.

My point though, is that while I personally do not feel the facts of the matter warrant the craziness and sanitizer stockpiling, what are you doing to get through this and relieve the stress? Or, if you have an idea on ways to make the most of this, not really social distancing but physical distancing, then share your thoughts and ideas.

I really feel that through positive mindsets, and attitudes we can really make the best of this and mot fall victim to the extraneous hype. So pull up a chair and share!
@LordLucre: I'm truly sorry to hear that :( glad you still sing though. It is therapeutic.

I think this is the proper channel or forum, if it isn't then my apologies. I am in search of librarian currently.
I was going through the museum and fell in love with the concept and avatar options. Not sure if anyone has even one or two of the items but I'm willing to do my best to trade etc. I'm still a little new here but I'm willing to negotiate terms and pricing :)
Even if you do not have any of the items I would love ot if you said hi when you stop by and chat a while. This will help me to save up my funds, and to make new friends.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope to be hearinf from you all!
