Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

If your vegtables that ya grow aren't hybrids, ya can leave some on the vine or plant til it falls off on its own and then let them dry and store in a freezer in a ziplock bag...beans and peas will dry in the pod...my mom did it every year, she would only use heirloom varieties for that reason...as far as survival goes....make sure ya have a bb-pellet gun....great for small game, quiet, and ammo is available and cheap....I have over 6,000 rds and they were less than $20 for total amount....

We had to go for feed today. My horse feed that I have used for 20 years, the closest source is 45 minutes away. We get their pig grower and game bird crumble for the CCX too. We stopped at Walmart in that town to see if there was toilet paper. Imagine my surprise when not only they had TP, but it was Charmin and no limit! It was the big packs of 30 mega rolls, 3 was all I could carry. Turns out, we only need one because our DD scored some for us yesterday. BUT--it's share the wealth, right? I texted a neighbor with 4 boys and asked if she wanted 2 packs and she was thrilled. So I did my good deed for the day.​

@Baymule glad you found some TP.
I ran after some groceries today. Left my kids in the car with their tablets... DH's work is getting busy and he probably won't be home in time for me to get out of the house to get groceries as they close too early. Fortunate my kids are old enough to sit in the car but not home for an hour or so. I guess it works. The check out gal asked about them... I wanted to cry when I told her my 5 year old wanted to come in so bad.. It's exhausting to go out and see all the masks... or the groups of people/families... both ends of spectrum I guess.
A good friend from church passed away last night, it wasn't "the virus" as my kids call it but a blood clot in her lung. So I guess crying at the grocery store may of not been out of order.

Well we are on the "flipside" of the coin...people are "standoffish" and have no sense of humor....not to mention calling 911 on others that are not staying 6' apart....I thought I escaped "monitors" when I left high school over 40yrs ago....there will never be a day the "monster" will get back in the box and can't wait for the next round of "excitement" that comes down the pipe, if this is the "new normal"....they are talking about having more shelters opened for storms coming....so they can maintain "social distancing"....sure babe!! Will just ride it out right here at home, come what may....

Seeing all the people with the masks just make me shake my head. Since many do not even "seal off" around the sides of the face, I wonder about the actual percentage of the protection. Sorry, not my thing. I believe that we will not see a vaccine for at least 12 months, then it will only be partially effective, and since I do not believe in the flu vaccine, greatly doubt I will be convinced to get this one either. After reading some about the shingles vaccine and the pneumonia vaccine, I know I will not be getting them. Building up a strong immune system is more my style, and since I don't have any other health issues, except some weight, I am at less risk than some in my over 65 age group.

My life continues on as pretty much normal due to the animals needing feeding, and the dairies still needing testing. Most on the farms have said that their basic routines have not changed much either. Curtailment of church has been the biggest thing. A few missed meetings and seminars that many of us go to before we get busy with spring "stuff".

I did stop and got some seeds today although I am not sure if there is a garden spot in the plans..... with wanting to move I have no plans to have one here. Could do a later garden if things work out at the house I am looking at. Things like green beans and some squash and a few tomatoes.... would like to do potatoes.... but the next door neighbor to my son is putting in his big garden so I will take advantage of his constant, please come get stuff or it will go to waste. The seeds will remain very viable for at least 2 years so I don't feel that it was wasted. They were 25-50% off, too.

I won't be getting either of those vaccines. I still think that those shots had a lot to do with our friend who took his life last year. He was fine and all of a sudden he was not and that was a couple of months after getting both.

Have to say, I agree @Mike CHS as far as the vaccines being possible causes of other problems for people. I am not totally anti-vaccine.... but we give too many, too close together, and don't try to get our bodies to build up immunities to things before we start giving all these shots. There are some I agree with.... Got my tetanus booster last year. IT IS A KILLED VIRUS VACCINE.....
Just like the animals.... I don't like modified Live.... only want to give killed virus vaccines. Safer and it still helps to boost the immune system without actually putting any of the live virus into the body..... there are too many mutations and I don't trust them.

Yep my wife went out and bought some plants for the garden then stopped by a small grocery store and no kids were aloud she looked around and every car in the parking lot had kids in it so she put our kids back in the car and went shopping. Just like when I was a kid mom would leave us in the car. Funny thing is this time last year u would be in jail if u left your kid in the car.

My all time favorite is the Walker and joggers and runners who are by themselves going down the road that have mask on. Hahaha dumbies

Just a quick note about Costco shipping. We usually go once a month for a variety of things but we have ordered things from them a couple of times. Their shipping is free for a minimum $75 purchase. Be aware that there is a separate shipping charge on every item until you get to the $75 minimum.
