Note to self check email more often. I had 20something free patterns for masks when I checked today. Where were they a month ago

I finally bit the bullet and ordered four for us on Etsy. They were shipped today. Can't wait to get them. I will post pictures when they arrive.

Thank you!!! Do you know if he mentioned anything about dentists and eye doctors, or are they included in the “healthcare”?

What did you have to eat last night before bed?? This is hilarious!

I always have very odd dreams. My mind goes wild at bedtime, I guess. Last week I dreamed that one of my old classmates (my date for senior prom) was plotting my murder. I don't remember why, but he wanted to get rid of me, and somehow I knew it, so I was managing to escape all these attempts on my life.
I once dreamed one of my best friends showed up to show me his new car....a flying Transam.
The WEIRDEST dream I've ever had was that I was walking through this park in my home town and there were all these monkeys all over the playground equipment. (Maybe my brain took "monkey bars" a bit too literally?) As I walked through, all these monkeys were staring so intently at me, and looked a bit hostile. I'll put the rest in spoilers for those who don't want to read the next bit because it's disturbing.

So I notice they are all male monkeys and suddenly they are detaching their genitals and throwing them at me, where they would enlarge and stick to me, and I'm left standing there with giant primate genitals coming out of my body like weird tentacles.

The Disneyworld dreams I often get are pretty tame in comparison.

Just heard Florida was opening up for dentists and vets, did not say anything about eye docs

Hahaha I was not expecting that. You certainly have an imagination going on in your brain at night. Maybe you should take down notes when you wake up. You could write a best-seller with some of those dreams!

So I live in a 1927 (or 1943 debatable) house. For some reason people always take the old wooden doors off the closets. When we bought it, two of the three closests upstairs were missing doors, my basement, and the glass one that goes in the entryway. I did find one door at a garage sale for $10, that’s on my closet now. Today someone was giving away the same style doors for free on our walk. Walked my happy **** right back home and got my SUV. Now I have two new doors. Just missing that glass pane door for the entryway.

Wow! That's a deal! Why were they getting rid of them? Were they renovating or something?

I broke my sunglasses and don’t want to buy new ones until I can get a prescription. My eyes have severely deteriorated over the past year. Got glasses for the first time a little over a year ago, really only used them for driving, but now I can’t see at night even with the glasses on, and can’t see well in general. I need a new prescription for my regular glasses, and will need to go prescription sunglasses too.

A lot of the dreams kind of disappear as soon as I wake up and I'll only remember snippets, like the one with my classmate wanting to murder me. I know in the dream I knew about all the plots and I knew why he was after me, but as soon as I woke up, all I could remember was that he was conspiring against me. The monkey one I probably only remember because of how bizarre it was. Even that one, I don't remember why I was in my home town or in that park. But a lot of times I wake up from them at 2 or 3 in the morning and I think I'll remember the dream in the morning, but I never do, but I never want to write them down in the middle of the night because I just want to get back to sleep and if I write things down, I'll wake up completely and not be able to sleep anymore.

A friend of mine had a recurring dream where she discovered the answer to all the world's problems, but she always woke up just after she discovered it and could never remember it in the morning. So she put a pen and paper next to her bed so that next time she had the dream, she could scribble it on the paper and then it would be there in the morning and she could just read it from the paper. She had the dream, sleepily scribbled the answer on the paper, and slept on. In the morning, she woke up and grabbed the paper to see one word scribbled on the paper: Pumpkin.

I had a strange dream last night too. I dreamt that I was living at our town’s library with my dog and I went to check out a book and all of a sudden robbers came in to rob the library . I escaped with the dog and started to call 911 but I saw the robber start to murder people. Then all of a sudden I was at my childhood house And it was 40 minutes later and I called 911 back and asked them why the police hadn’t shown up yet. They told me it was because the police were helping someone who fell off a bike, scraped their knee and needed a bandaid! As the phone operator was telling me that I noticed the robbers had murdered everyone and were drinking tea, I asked them why they were drinking tea and they said they were waiting to be arrested. It was such a bizarre dream.

@Tony the Tigger how are you. B and Kylie doing? Hoping all is well

 

[SteveBrickNJ]

My state is #3 behind yours (2,899 dead as of yesterday, and new cases constantly rising), but I'd never expect anyone to ask me about it. IMO, the reality is that everyone is either suffering or inconvenienced, no matter where the live in the world right now.

That being said, I find this thread uplifting most of the time, and that's why I frequent it. It's good to have some rays of sunshine in the storm.

That is strange! Don't know why anyone would rob a library...the books are already free!

I actually have a LOT of dreams where I witness a crime, though usually I'm not "me" in those dreams and I am on the run from whatever crime ring is after me. I've had dreams where I was a black belt in karate....I think there was one that I was a teenage boy and I fought off a whole gang of criminals. I've have a lot of dreams where I'm someone else, like I'm channeling someone else somewhere in the world and dreaming what they are doing. It's odd. They are always very vivid and realistic and I can never tell I'm dreaming. Some people say they can tell they are dreaming and can wake themselves up. I can't do that, but there have been dreams where I have been thinking "I wish this was just a dream!". Like, when my kids were little, I dreamed that one of the kids fell from the balcony (we don't even have a balcony) from like 5 stories up, and died, and when I went to go look, the other kid jumped. I was sooooo happy when I woke up from that one. When I was pregnant with E, I dreamed that we had twins and went for a photo session with the babies and I had to go get something and came back and my husband had left the kids alone and someone had kidnapped them. My husband says he doesn't even know if he dreams...he doesn't remember them if he does dream. I don't remember mine every night, but the ones that are traumatic, I generally remember the basics.

You know I'm not sure... they just had a free sign... and their house was built in probably the 60's or 70's, so I know they didn't come from inside that house.

I just bought masks for everyone, myself included. (Jungle Jim’s just got some, and I’m sure they’ll sell out quickly) Now if only our clients and reps would wear them too. It’s mandatory for businesses to wear them, but not the general public. Which is kind of strange, but I guess I understand why the public is a “recommendation”, not an order.

Jeez who would rob a library? Man some people

Today on my non-vacation I took a nice walk from Epcot to the Studios. A lovely 82 degrees in Orlando this afternoon

 

[21stamps]

T’s baseball coach called me.

It’s official. Baseball is not happening this year.
Email will be going out tonight. Coach called me to lessen the blow. They’re going to try to push for a fall league, but fall is more out of town soccer tourneys than Spring is. I have no idea how that will work.

My heart hurts for these kids, all across America!! Not sure if all states are doing the same, have no idea how this will all sort out over time.

Attention Frontera fans, Rick Bayless is posting cooking videos

 

[21stamps]

I’m at the gas station. Was crying on my way here. T is devastated over baseball, probably even more than soccer as he at least played soccer all winter, and knows it will be back in the fall (plus, still hasn’t been officially cancelled yet)

Anyway, came here to get his favorite Gatorade and sour patch candy to cheer him up. As I was crying, my watch beeps and gives me this-



I do not have a breathing exercise set up, and have never had this happen before. Just thought it was strange, I pulled over to snap the photo...and actually, I hit “start” and it did calm me a bit.
