@BuddyThomas how are you, the Philmonster and Bottle Buys holding up?

So far so good. Thanks for asking. You?

It's about the same amount of work maybe a bit less . I'm thinking about doing spaetzle and chicken later this week

I watched a video today... do you have a spatzle cutter, or do you push it thru another device?

and the Philmonster is still in one piece In all seriousness that's great and we up here in the woods are doing well, the nice thing about not many neighbors is social distancing isn't difficult and nobody is stalking my cider and wine stash

I have a strainer with the perfect sized holes

An orthopedic trauma surgeon at Mayo and fund raises for Feed the Children along with why me? Mentoring children. All that and this. Awesome. And his pianist is not to shabby either.

This cut deep this evening....


As of today we have lost more American lives to this virus than we did on 9/11

I had a lazyish day because last night I got hardly any sleep due to noisy kids and then thunderstorms. Luckily no damage

We had some crazy thunder and lightening storms last night -- they just seemed to hover overhead longer than most storms. Dog was freaking out and gave him doggie relaxing pills. He was chill after that.

Very scary words, but let's put that all in perspective. 9/11 happened in one day. This has already taken probably over 3 months. Second, there weren't 331,000,000 million people in the Twin Towers at ground zero. There is no ground zero in this case and all of us are exposed and vulnerable, yet it is only approximate same number. It will go higher but there are a lot more people directly involved.

I'm not downplaying the actual tragedy, in either case, but numbers with the emphasis put in the wrong place is as dangerous as the problem itself. It's like making a jaded statement that the US has exceeded the number of people with the illness then the current hot spot of Italy. Well, duh, Italy 59 million people vs. USA 331 million, of course there is going to be more. I'm also sure that we have not received truthful numbers from China either nor do we have reliable statistics. Paraphrasing Rudyard Kipling — 'If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs, you will be the winner'.

We had really strong winds this morning around 3:30 and woke us up. We had the windows all open since it was in the 80s yesterday. The blinds were all banging at least no storms!

Faster to make food at home then to wait in that line. Ok, so maybe not but it ensures people have jobs in the end.

We had thunder but nothing that bad. They went around me

Good morning everyone! Today looks to be a sunny day and in the mid-50's. That makes me happy because we had a gloomy, rain/snow mix day yesterday. The dog moped because we didn't go for a walk so I'm planning on two walks with her today to make up for it. Hope you all have a nice day

You have a great day too!

It was so windy yesterday that my neighbors fence fell down into my yard and is leaning against my daughter's treehouse!!

Most of you are giving the time proven and correct response: It's a phase and she'll grow out of it. The problem is that the three of us are all stuck here and there is no "normalcy in sight". Without a return to life as normal all flaws seem to be magnified and blown out of proportion. I'm concerned that my wife will not have the patience for my daughter to grow out of her phase. My wife's voice is getting louder and her patience is gone. My DD recognizes the seriousness of our current family dynamic and I think she is gonna change.
OK....there...I've filled you guys in honestly and now I'd like to trust that you'll pray for us.
Personally, it would be helpful to me if I stopped posting on this subject now.
Thanks for understanding (re me not talking about this further) and thanks for caring.

We’ll say prayers for your family.

I’ve been trying for a while, finally forced my son to watch Frozen 2 last night, against his words of resistance.
Guess what? He enjoyed it. (So did I)
