Restaurants getting 50% capacity is not going to happen in the city I live in anytime soon.

Bars and Restaurants in the city I live got the option to reopen at 25 percent capacity last week Friday.

A lot of Restaurants and Bars are still drive thru or carry out only because they stated they would be losing money at 25 percent capacity including the Supper Club that my parents go for Special special occasions.

Don't you live in Wisconsin? I thought the restaurants were open there.

My oldest wanted us to get one of those.

My oldest will probably want some SW Legos but I already ordered him some other SW stuff

Good luck. https://www.amazon.com/Bonide-Produ...hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583520382170395&psc=1

Out of stock until next week. We'll pick up something from Lowes.

Just an FYI the best thing to do if you come in contact with poison ivy is to wash with Dawn dish soap because it break down the oils on it the best. If you live in an area with it you should keep a bottle on hand for emergencies

String of bad words because it's one of the cheapest and it works. Some of the other brands for the same size bottle can go up to $40

Can someone tell me if this is poison ivy? Thinking @epcotisbest will know?

Yup. We have it in our backyard in the woods. If Mom goes anywhere near it, she reacts.

Dad, B and I are in the part of the population that doesn't react to poison ivy.

Kind of, counties and cities too can make their own guidelines and ordinances since the Supreme Court said the governors order was invalid.

Lucky you.

Just been announced today that of Saturday 20th June all restrictions are being lifted on island. Back to 100% normal .
All that's left is border restrictions and 14 day self isolating for incoming people.

So if you go to the mainland to get something, you have to self isolate for 14 days before going back to work? I bet there won't be a whole lot of traffic going back and forth!

That is me with dance. I've been doing it since I was 6 years old and I love it. I have decided I would not go to college for Dance Performance because it is so hard to get a job in that. If I do take anything related to dance it would be in education. My parents however don't really like the idea much at all.

Well, whatever you decide, it's YOU who has to find a job, and YOU who will be doing it for the rest of your life...it's got to be something you won't mind doing every day.

The only way off is by air or private boat. No passenger ferries. So the options are very limited to start with.

The Percy Jackson books are awesome. So much better than the two movies. I also love the Harry Potter books and have read the Twilight and Hunger Games books as well. I have also read the Divergent series which was good. I haven't read Little Men or Jo's Boys though by Louisa May Alcott. That might be something to look into.

I also haven't read Gemma Doyle by Libby Bray. I do tend to enjoy fantasy books so this might work for me.

The Chronicles of Narnia books are fantastic. I loved them.

If you like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, I think you'll like Gemma Doyle. It's set in a different time period, but it's a similar type thing. I never read the Divergent series because a bunch of my friends were reading it and then the 3rd book came out and they all said the ending was stupid and ruined the whole trilogy, so I didn't bother.

Hello friends!
I'm hoping all of you are well.
I'm wondering what to do this weekend.
We've been to state and county parks Sat. after Sat. after Sat.
Would love to do something else.
Hmmm. Still thinkin'

Go surf fishing at the beach you may get lucky and catch dinner

Since a few of us on this thread have been chatting about this, I have learned a lot and I just want to thank you all for the words of wisdom you all have gave me on this topic. I am only 16 right now and will only be turning 17 in late September. I have 2 years of High School left and even though my first two years seemed to have flown right by, I still think I have time to decide. @Songbird76 you are right it is my decision but I don't want to make my parents mad especially if they are helping me with any of the tuition come that time. I know deep down I would love to teach in a Dance Studio like the one I have learned at all these years since I was little. It would be a job that I would love to get up and do everyday. I am also only 16 and haven't experienced other stuff so there just might be something waiting for me down the road. Who knows.

James' class isn't bad at all. Year 3 starts in September

Can anyone sign up for it or is it offered through your homeschooling program? I'm wondering if I should look into an actual class for E. She really seems to be into it, but then she's also got all her regular classes, which they take so many more here. We had 7 classes at one time in high school, but E has 13, so I don't know if adding to her workload would be a good thing. But if she's already doing it on her own anyway, and she wants to learn it, maybe it's worth it.

Go purchase a blank canvas, water colors, and brushes. Then set out to a spot other than a park. it can be on the beach or anywhere. Then just start painting what you see around you. You don't have to be a fantastic painter either.

I will have to give Gemma Doyle a look out.

I actually just did another virtual choir with this same composer (video isn't out yet). It was fun to check the box on my profile saying I'd been in this one...and then bring it up at random on the Facebook group for it.

I haven't really followed the facebook group much for that. Do we know when the video will come out?

The first Divergent is worth reading as a stand alone book IMHO
