  1. I'm using Windows 10 and Chrome. Maybe that's the difference? *shrugs too*
  2. Even stranger is I see the emoji in the box where I quoted you! Edited to add: and I just quoted myself!
  3. Strange. I just see the text... no emoji
  4. Try typing the following without the space: :drooling_ face:
  5. It's a drooling face emoji I selected from the GA emoji menu. I'm a technological dinosaur... I don't have a smartphone.
  6. Awesome! I'm so glad it worked out. It's much better for you and Steve to stay home

    Cards #1 to #4

  8. I think it's in the CoTT rules to give Gary grief over things like tools and chairs. Gotta put all that toilet paper somewhere
  9. Well that makes it safe then

    The Nature of Vice

    This is well-written and powerful. I particularly like the line about the stormy eyes and dancing in the wind and rain.
  12. Thank you for reading Yeah, I can't imagine going through this without a computer and the Internet. It allows me to do my job and also keep connected with my friends.
  13. I had to stop and think for a minute, and remember what I posted, since your opening line for April 1st is eerily similar to what I wrote this morning. I'm glad you stopped by. You'll find a mixture of melancholy, despair, laughter, and hope in my offerings this month. Going forward, I'll be posting every Sunday, including the poems I wrote for the week. Thanks for joining me on this journey. At your giggle for the day.
  14. I have the same hope. Thanks for reading
  15. Thanks so much Navigating the new world we live in is not easy. I find writing these helps me sort through my emotions. I hope they'll become brighter as the month progresses
  16. Thank you so much. Writing these has been helpful with getting through this. Stay safe
  17. Ugh.. I'm so sorry you're dealing with all this. I hope everything settles down soon and your dad feels better.
  18. That's great news Gives us hope
  19. It was in the 70s here Sunday and dropped into the 40s yesterday. It's about 50 now, not too bad, although overcast and dreary.
  20. Smart move, after reading about how many are testing positive from Spring Break in Florida.
  21. Poem #1 March 30th Today, I put a stuffed penguin in my kitchen window. I read on social media about kids doing a ‘bear hunt’ to ease boredom. I don’t have stuffed bears, but I do have stuffed penguins. It was something to do for ten seconds. I didn’t shower today because I did yesterday and I don’t smell. Yet. I’m wearing my red pajama bottoms from Christmas. The ones with the reindeer with a bowtie around their neck and a wreath around their antlers. I won
  22. April is National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), and the challenge is to write 30 poems (one per day) throughout the month. This year, I decided to do something a little different. Each day (or every other day, depending on my mood) I will write a 'postcard'--a short poem about my daily dealings with the COVID-19 pandemic. I will also write other poems as the mood (and daily prompts) strike me. I think it will be an interesting exercise to see how the poems change across the course of the month.
  23. Wow! That was incredible! Thanks for sharing. That's one of my all-time favorite songs
