  1. molly so will either of those hurricanes hit your area this week? was looking at the weather reports and the southern US will get a double hit. so take care
  2. tim i plan on getting the flu shot but i want to get the one for older people. they have 2 different ones here in the states. a while back we were talking about washing masks and most people wash my hand. i then saw that some people have added a extra step. you wash / soak 10-15 minutes then you rinse them out then they suggest to get a pan of boiling water and run the mask thru the steam on both sides for 45 seconds. this is supposed to make sure they are clean and safe. then you hang up to dry. the steam was reported not to have any affect on the wire in the nose piece. i guess you could do double duty and boil water for tea / coffee / pasta. we have not tried this yet.
  3. Michael Sir i agree with you on this. i was surprised they are even playing. the state had so much pressure from parents. i give this 1 to 2 weeks then it will be shut down. it will take 1 good infection / sick kid and a whole team will be down. some sports can be played non contact golf, tennis, cross country. the sad thing this is just the calm before another outbreak. this fall and winter will be a wild ride. they may not want to but i think another shut down is around the corner. my brother and i have started to get a few of the items we didn’t have like alcohol, bleach and stuff we didn’t have the last time. we may not need it but at least we will have it.
  4. Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends. just wanted to stop in and say Good Evening. this is a training day for High School Football. same game new rules. Crowd size, masks, social distancing. they wanted to do tune up to get all the kinks out. so good time for all. as with anything new there were “hiccups” my new best friend is the assistant athletic director he help us thru the new rules. the stadium holds 10,000 people and we have a max now of 1,500 per side.

  15. Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends. this is a hard one to admit to doing. just wanted to stop in and say - i have been such a old fool. some of you may know i have been mentoring a Transgender Female to male. her parents had disowned him and he had no one. we talk and things were going good we talked every day. a couple of months ago he was having issues and asked for some help ($ 25) not much. so i helped him out of a tight spot. he then started asking for more again. i have a rule for friends that i will helped 1 time and if you repay them i will help again. this has stop a lot of issues for me. well he didn’t pay me back and also had excuses to when he would pay. he asked again and i said nope no way. well this set him off and things got nasty. i finally had to block his number. why i feel like a fool is that i believed him. you read on those things and know you are smarter than this. you know the sad thing is all i was trying to do was be a good guy. so learn from my mistake.
  16. Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends. just wanted to stop in and say Good Morning. how are things with you? take care enjoy your day.

  20. Try table salt on it that should dry it out - the dawn dish soap and let it soak.
  21. Nothing like an old fool yes that is me i was played like one. i did a small holiday cheer sending cards to teens / young adults that had been disowned by there family at Christmas time. At the time it was a good thing. one of the guys reached out and we got to talking. he was a female to male trans gender and had no one to talk to. so we treated each other a mentor / father / son. we talked daily and became friends. things were fine and then i got played. i have made a rule that i will help anyone once. if they repay or return then i will help again. he asked me for some money and i sent him some money. he got the money and was grateful for it. a couple of weeks went by and he asked for more money this was this past weekend. i told him no and then all heck broke loose. he wasn’t pleasant and went straight to down right nasty. words were spoken and things said. i stood firm and still said no. the amount was not that much. they blocked me before i could blocked them. so i feel like an old fool trying to help some one out. it’s a shame a small deed can make you feel so bad.
  22. i hate those nights when i can’t sleep. i watch the clock go round and round and still no sleep. or i do go to sleep it is so late and you get no rest. take care. i have also taken a second dose of Natural Calm on the really bad night. drank like a tea. sometimes that will help.
  23. sorry to hear about this please take care of your self.
