7:41 am

I even stopped in last Wednesday. Only doing take out and it was spooky walking thru the dining room with no one there.

7:48 am

bea, my daughter has been working non-stop, but i did hear about a local group of Hutterites who made masks and gowns for their local hospital - made from a fabric called Maxima ESD, a special fluid resistant tight weave surgical fabric

7:54 am

Thanks, welki. Bless your daughter's heart! They are the heroes. I'll look into it this fabric.

8:00 am

jzw where is Reins?

8:01 am

Found it, know where it is

8:05 am

IN Vernon. good NY deli

8:06 am

There also used to be a really good pie place you could see from I 84, but it closed down years ago. My kids and I shed many tears over that

8:07 am

we used to stop at a place in manchester, just a few minutes away (years and years ago, 1970s, the gathering)

8:07 am

...on the way to vermont

8:09 am

memories. I haven't been up that way in 15, 20 years now.

8:10 am

we were young, dorens - the gathering had all you could eat crab legs cheap and buckets of steamers (my fave!)

8:11 am

I never knew it... Just Rein's and the pie place. And Books Food (or whatever that sign was - you know what I mean, right?

8:12 am

i don't recall the sign - but i do remember the big duck on the way to montauk :D

8:12 am

:)

8:12 am

I think that Duck is still there!

8:13 am

Oh dammit, now I want seafood.

8:13 am

a national treasure *lol*

8:13 am

On 84N, past Vernon/Manchester there was a quirky restaurant that had book shelves lining the place and you were encouraged to take a book with you, and/or leave one. Food wasn't bad, great atmosphere. I 've heard recently that it is still there. The sign was visible from the highway

8:15 am

Traveler Food & Books

8:15 am

that's it

8:15 am

Yes, Dorens. Seen the place from I84, but haven't eaten there

8:15 am

Pretty cool idea. Too bad there are not more places like it.

8:15 am

my kids always loved it, bichon

8:15 am

my kids always loved it, bichon

8:16 am

I only stopped there once. And one of the free books we got was illustrated by a teacher from my high school 200 miles away. Lousy book but the pix were good.

8:23 am

Another great deli in CT is Katz's in Woodridge [off the Wilbur Cross]

8:27 am

I have been there with my niece, Bichon. It is a great place

my lovely thinking spot besides the little waterfall is overrun with kids.

i keep walking by my neighbor with the gardens and the swan but he has not been out. hope he is ok

8:58 am

owl anyone watching those kids?

even the swans seem to be in isolation. perhaps they are brooding.

8:58 am

We are seeing well patients in the morning (well visits for kids 2 years and younger, to keep them up to date on vaccines) and sick kids in the afternoon.

yes. in the modern way of watching them.

8:58 am

9:03 am

no its not!!

9:04 am

9:05 am

10:08 am

good morning everyone :) Hope you are all still healthy.

10:08 am

morning nan, likewise for you and your family

10:09 am

Hi, nan. Tennis cancelled due to rain.

wow, its raw outside! brrr! glad i didn;t know that before I went out to walk!

mixi: are you in touch with sprite? how's she doing?

10:12 am

I do not have a contact for sprite, just saw it in the chog.

ok. thanks for passing it on, i did not know.

10:13 am

I don't have any babble contacts.

10:14 am

surprised tennis wasn't cancelled due to virus -- our golf courses have all shut down now, playground equipment and things like basketball hoops removed from parks (shouldn't be necessary but people won't do as they are told and stay home)

10:17 am

They have removed water and chairs from the courts. Hand wash/sanitize before and after play. New balls only. Stay a distance away when changing sides.

10:19 am

ah -- they started out with golf that way too -- use own balls on practice tee, no touching flag sticks, etc but with the latest explosion of cases everything was closed - nothing like shutting the barn door after the horse escaped

10:19 am

just went to amazon to look at masks -- they have them, but all are made in and shipped from China

10:20 am

i agree with you nan..people should just stay home and not interact out in the world to help

10:21 am

I have never seen so many people out walking as I have in the last few days. I think people are starting to get stir crazy.

10:22 am

nothing wrong with out walking as long as you have no symptoms and stay 2m away from others.

10:30 am

careful about ordering, a friend ordered sanitizers and it was a scam. Charged his credit card but when he tried calling themflub

10:31 am

I didn't mean that there was anything wrong with being out walking. Just that it seems like more people are doing so because it is the only way to get out and about.

10:31 am

glue

10:32 am

sorry

10:33 am

i would imagine a zillion scams are goign to pop up now..

10:35 am

Check out ebay for some of the prices people are posting for toilet paper. ebay should not allow that.

10:36 am

home depot wants $13.95 for an N95 mask that are 15/$35 at Amazon.ca --- that's not scamming?

10:37 am

just spotted the flyboys -- don't know how I missed that one

10:38 am

Watch your email. I have had a couple of mask offers show up and I reported them as spam.

the toiler paper thing continues to amaze.

10:39 am

... you just remember them for when this is over and you never go back ... ... the community did that here for the gas station that jacked up the price of gas during the power failure of 2003 ... he was broke and out of business in three months

in MD friend said the only thing available was industrial type and limited to one roll. not one package, one roll

10:40 am

I have come to the conclusion that they don't provide much protection anyway -- only helpful if the person who is contagious wears them.

10:41 am

sounds good, dos, but HD is the only decent hadware store we have in this town other than Home Hardware, which is a very small store.

10:43 am

i have been outside ubut just the two of us.

10:43 am

i don't understand people outside socializing with one another?

10:48 am

been

i see one shoprite has put plastic screens around their checkout stands. smart. we need the food workers to stay safe.

10:53 am

I didn't post or watch it but their is a video of Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber and Stephen Sondeim singing to each other. Same birth date. Sondheim turned 90 Weber turned 70 something:)

10:54 am

agreed owl

10:56 am

FR 7 clue pls?

10:58 am

How the hell did Stephen Sondheim get to be 90?

10:59 am

... probably the same way as Christopher Plummer ... he got married and was required to quit drinking

10:59 am

The one that amazed me was members of the Colorado symphony playing ode to joy from home via video chat with the only connection being a metronome.

11:01 am

mixi?

11:01 am

So we live to be 90 if we stop drinking?

11:02 am

two more virus cases in NC

11:02 am

... you certainly don't if you keep drinking the way Plummer used to

11:02 am

MLFan ....when you get something for f4/7 it's called f4/7 +2vowels

11:03 am

Reminds me of that joke...Doctor, if I quit drinking will I live longer? Doctor says: Well, it will definitely feel longer.

11:05 am

mmm - cucumbers keep longer when they are pickled :)

11:05 am

thank aeb and hello

11:24 am

hey trif.. you like broadway stuff right?

11:24 am

yes maam!

11:24 am

i thought i remember that lol

btw, there is no relief in this grid. none at all. i've tried and tried.

11:25 am

I just posted in the chat about sir Andrew Lloyd weber and Stephen Sondheim serenaded each other a Happy Birthday

hello trif. there is broadway on line, trial subscription is free

11:25 am

good to know, to, thank you. I am not enjoying trying to find nbt, that is for sure

11:26 am

They share the same birthday:)

11:26 am

oh i am well acquainted, TO!

11:26 am

i would try that if it would remain free

11:27 am

oops pb for me

may i put in a plug for a local small business? it's roayl goats milk soaps. received the order i placed in three days and she sent an extra bar to try. it's wonderful for the skin- goats milk lipids are close to human

11:28 am

Im watching West Side Story right now....lol

i use the unscented. it lasts a long time.

11:28 am

trif how much is it to watch somethgn on that site?

11:29 am

I get my goat's milk bar soap and body wash from Costco or London Drugs.

11:29 am

mlf and Trif - my beloved husband loves Sondheim's work, but not so much Webber. I, on the other hand, ADORE Webber's work, and most of Sondheim's. Needless to say, he doesn't listen or watch Webber material with me :(

11:29 am

Trif on tv a few days ago they were showing gypsy with natalie Wood

11:29 am

ch what is up with that??

11:30 am

its good to have complementary interests, ch1212

11:30 am

I admit i am not familiar with everything Sondheim has done but what i do know i love both of their works

11:30 am

Yes, the first musical we watched together was a bootleg tape of Passion, with Donna Murphy.

11:31 am

bootleg version? i have never seen that one

11:32 am

omg, i loooooooooove donna murphy so much! My best day was when I got a car with satellite radio - A BROADWAY CHANNEL!!!!

11:32 am

trif you are so spoiled lol

i've seen the brands at costco. the ingredients don't compare. I used other brands before. this is crafted, not produced.

11:32 am

thats me

11:33 am

Let's see... it would have been a VHS copy of the PBS one back in ... 1996 I think.

have you seen evan hansen?

11:33 am

ohh

11:33 am

Oh, I adore Donna Murphy. Her acting, everything. Loved her in Star Trek: Insurrection.

11:34 am

ohhhh, the evan hansen conflict in me! The music is great, Ben Platt was great, but Evan Hansen, as a character? HORRIBLE person. HORRIBLE.

11:34 am

THANK YOU TRIF!!! I agree!

a moot point at this time, since cancelled

11:34 am

also watched most of Kinky Boots on tv too that was good:)

i am looking into the met series. PBS just rebroadcast Turandot. saw it in theater and it was great if you like choral music

11:35 am

i am not sure if i saw that one or not Evan Hansen?

11:37 am

hi folks - who ever thought that letting workers into your house to replace a water heater would cause more than financial stress? they could be cleaning out the basement for all i know - and i couldn't care less

11:37 am

Turandot. You are a purist, Trif. That said, I saw the London Opera Company's (touring) Madame Butterfly in 1968 in Honolulu. Spectacular.

i am glad you got them, welk. and so will you be

11:38 am

I recorded Turandot the other night, but haven't watched it yet

11:38 am

*catching up on the music convo*

11:38 am

11:39 am

I have never been to the Met, but would love to.

11:39 am

welk my husband put ours in by himself

it's just spectacular.

11:41 am

this one is under a set of stairs, around a twisty corner - and a large tank. just getting the old one out was a job for two very strong young men (they had to lay it sideways) - so yeah, we did it years ago when we were younger, but having someone else do it now is worth the cost

11:41 am

Beloved daughter runs a theatre arts school, and makes an annual trek to NYC with music and theater teachers from around the nation. They attend 4 shows, with backstage workshops w/ actors and director of each. She's been going for about 10 years now. Loves it! I keep asking to hide in her luggage or be her assistant - lol!

11:41 am

how's things, hursh? staying safe, I hope

1:40 pm

yeah, staying at home. was working as a substitute teacher and schools are closed anyway so ...

1:41 pm

good, I hope it gives your household a miss

1:42 pm

well, i had something, that could have been it, only i doubt it, the weekend of the 14th

1:42 pm

i had a fever and cough but it didn't really seem to affect my lungs, so idk

1:44 pm

Do you know how long your schools are closed? Ours just announced they will stay closed until April 24th.

1:45 pm

minor signs are pretty common (though of course without testing can't know how common). if so, hope that was all you get. :)

1:45 pm

We had a scare as one of my employees was out with persistent fever, cough, short breath, felt like hell... and then had to go in 3 times to get them to test her, then test was delayed... but turned out to be just a bad bronchitis.

1:46 pm

'course, now that she's feeling better, we're in a stay-at-home

1:46 pm

well, they had said they hope to open back up for april 3 but obviously there's an extent of seeing how it goes

1:48 pm

i'm lucky, even if they do open back up, if public health experts are saying that's not a great idea, i do have the luxury of deciding to continue staying home.

1:48 pm

Anyone who doesn't have to work is very lucky. I'm glad you won't have any financial worries.

1:49 pm

well, i mean, i have long term financial potential worries but am ok in the short term

1:54 pm

Hi folks - fortunately I am working from home and still getting paid. I really feel for those folks who are just out of work. A lot of those people live paycheck-to-paycheck to start with.

1:55 pm

today i have a headache for no discernible reason

1:56 pm

glad to hear you're ok, origami.

1:57 pm

I'm waiting to hear what the ultimate deal is with the 2 weeks extra sick leave thing - i've got several employees who can't safely come in for various reasons and have dramatically cut office hours, and while i firmly believe they deserve that extra sick time, i might have to skip my own paycheck to make it happen

5:06 pm

fe & Mickeys girlfriend but only one middle cons

hey lyn!

5:07 pm

hi Owl - how's it going?

5:07 pm

like a woman but without the last consonant.

5:09 pm

ty lynx, wht

ok and you?

5:15 pm

Same. Wasn't going out anyway so not much change. My son actually came over late afternoon and sat on a milk crate outside my lounge room window and spoke to me over the phone. My kids are both very worried about my low resistance and for us both because we are older, Son will probably lose job sooner rather than later but at least govt has upped the usual out-of-work social security.

5:15 pm

thanks wht

that's rough. our govt is sending a check to everyone below a certain threshhold and also allowing small businesses to borrow $ and, if used to pay employees, loan need not be repaid.

5:20 pm

Yes - our government is being quite generous too. Problem is that a lot of businesses can't continue because they are non-essential. Son works in steak restaurant who can only do take-away

5:23 pm

...and seems like these restrictions are going to be in place for at least 6 months

same here re no dining in. but if they borrow to pay, they can coninue

wow. i would hope, based upon china, that we would not go more than three more months.

5:24 pm

Lobe

my freezer was jammed so i removed and drfrosted the donut in there ;)

5:25 pm

But China did severe non-movement - we aren't up to that - yet. Thay say here that it will continue until treatment/vaccine is found

i've haerd that as well. nothing to do but wait

5:38 pm

I'll say it again - I hate that em4.6 because I never see it because it is never ever spelled that way.

an you should know

good clues, thanks ;)

does anyone have any tips how to wash those woven reusable bags? i woild hate to ruin mine.

5:57 pm

what are they made out of, TO?

IDK. the ones that are woven, sort of like burlap

5:58 pm

I would just use cold water with cold water wash liquid

5:59 pm

run them in wash on delicate inside a mesh bag so handles don't get tangled?

5:59 pm

Though burlap and like usually loses its rigidness

5:59 pm

though burlap is pretty tough, so you might be able to just run regular wash depending on how thick they are

i always line them with a paper in plastic, do not pack directly into the bag.

6:00 pm

rigid? I guess I'm picturing more of a soft tote thing

jes: the problem is they are not marked. it LOOKS like burkap, but it's not.

6:01 pm

perhaps it is paper - lots of hats etc look like straw or similar but are paper

6:02 pm

oh, I think those you are supposed to just wipe down - I would not use them currently

not rigid. given out by whole foods when they first opened. brown with soack of potatoes design.

6:03 pm

the rigid thing...I once tried to recycle large coffee sacks but when I washed them (on cold) not only did the beautiful label printing all but disappear but the 'fabric' became very limp and soft

6:04 pm

I think just wipe down too

I washed a bunch of mine before. turned out fine if they had the removable inside bottom. I think I probably did gentle cycle.

don't have any whole foods ones but same woven fabric that the ones I have are

6:13 pm
