Hi Randy,

Liquor manufacturers here are making hand sanitizer out of alcohol and distributing it for free.  You can use rubbing alcohol to rub down surfaces.   That's the positive.  On the other hand, liquor is being delivered everywhere for consumption.  Apparently no one wants to live without booze. Go figure.

With everyone about to be unemployed, you'd think they would save their money for real food and other necessities.  We are what we are.

My family  lives in and around Montreal.  They are also on lock down.  So far no one is sick. 

Keep safe.

Pat

Maintaining the alcohol and medical marijuana supply is extremely important. When an alcoholic is abruptly cut off from alcohol, withdrawal complications result in hospitalization which further taxes the health care system. The same is true with the pot supply. Concentrations of medical marijuana are typically quite high and many people may be unknowingly addicted. 

Personally I would rather the addicts keep getting what they need than see them occupying a hospital bed needed for someone seriously ill from COVID 19.

Heard a new take on this today...our Creator got tired of all the bickering, so He sent us all to our rooms.

I'm both bored and stressed, but alive and healthy.

Us oldies can still sweat to the oldies

Hi Pat ,

Yes one the biggest brewer here is doing the same thing making hand sanitize and just watched our news and a Sports equipment  maker has now started to make face masks for the front liners and any others who want a full face mask,,, and some clothing manufacturers who make jeans are now making medical items such as O,R, gowns , pants and also patients gowns.

As usual my comments on the alcohol and Pot where lets say misunderstood I am NOT talking about an alcoholic that is an addiction same as medical marijuana  that is used to relieve the horrific pain a Cancer Patience would go through.

An Alcoholic can not just walk into a Liquor store for a bottle or two most are homeless and beg for a few bucks to get the cheapest wine they can find or drink rubbing alcohol I have even seen some melt down shoe polish to get a small amount of Alcohol  and as for the Marijuana well my Uncle before he passed away last year was a heavy pot smoker it was the only thing that helped him with his pain .

Am I belittling  them?? ABSOLUTE NOT that comment was taken out of context.

TOAD/Otter/MOUSE checking in.  Southern Indiana,  Daughter has finished restocking kitchen, Remodeling took so long all we had left was dust and some cans of re fried beans. 2 grocers in area.

Well said!

I've made a new "conservative" friend this week.  I'm so tired of arguing with people.  I suspect he is too.
