Thank you Ark, I am fine. She is free now. I am relieved for her sake. I really lost her slowly for a long time.
So good to hear that Donnie is doing so well. Glad he got at least one knee done before the SHTF. Sounds like you are well prepped.

Well one thing about isolating yourselves out there, it’s like being on a resort holiday. What more could you ask for, a lovely spot, your favourite person and animals, and you can still ride without breaking quarantine

When we had the big SARS outbreak, i had to quarantine while living at the farm. What a hardship!!! Lol. I went out riding, took my mask in case something happened and I got into contact with anyone. Rough, I tell you. I was feeling so sorry for those who had to quarantine in an apartment in Toronto or somewhere

It's also getting crazy here in hillbilly heaven.  No toilet paper at Sam's Club, at the local grocery store $8.59 for a 6 pack and a fight breaking out at a Dollar General over toilet paper.  Crazy things going on.  God help us..

I guess it's too bad that there are so few catalogs from Sears and Penneys now. When I was a really little kid, we still had an outhouse, as did many others in that little town. We actually did use toilet paper, but some used the pages of the catalogs.

I sneezed 3 X in two days..................LOL. You're right, people are going crazy during this pandemic. Even worse,
the economy right now is in the tank. Hope it returns to normal soon.

CB, you're going to have some real fun.

Nancy Lee, I didn't know about your mom but I send condolences from here. (((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))).

I wish I knew enough about buying stocks to know which one to buy into right now, while the prices are low. It's going to go up again. Could be a nice profit to be had.

Nancy, I didn't know about your mother, and wasn't sure what you were talking about a few posts ago. I'm very sorry. You must miss her a lot.

hmmm. Oil would be a good choice. I paid $1.82 yesterday.

Oh thank you Ellen. I wouldn’t have mentioned losing Mom if Ark hadn’t said something. It’s been coming for some time

On a current affairs note, we now have 2 cases of Covid 19 in our area. Bound to happen eventually. My brother and SIL went to Cuba yesterday. Not sure that was wise but who knows ... not my decision.

My dentist appt is cancelled that ive been waiting on for 3 weeks trying to get mouth in shape....but i guess we wont be rushing out of here anytime soon anyway.

One of our schools in town has one confirmed and two quarantined now. All schools..colleges..shut down. All sports. Our walmart is closed at night. Fhelves are bare. I feel bad for those who couldnt stock up a bit. Ill be honest...we did....no tp...it was gone when we hit the stores....but lots of canned stuff. Even our commissary was bare shelves. I dont think ive ever seen it like this in my life.
We are staying out of stores doctors dentists...
My grandson is in hospital...we want to go see him so badly but.....with our med history know we shouldnt. Its hard.
Everyone take some precautions....be safe.
I have to get a tooth pulled on weds if they dont cancel. I will get it done...it hurts. Illl wear gloves.
Im always rubbing my eyes and my nose....so gloves may help. Hope so.
We havnt ridden the new toy yet. Maybe tommorrow. We are still at fam camp on base. Had an rv come in from WA....but then we have cases right in town. Military has said keep families home if they can. This is just a bit scary.

I will be glad when the weather and water warms enough to get the jet ski out.  I will be able to go ride and not worry about catching a virus for a while.  It's probably at least a month away, more likely two months.
I'm so sick and tired of hearing the 24/7 news coverage that I started watching the old "Dukes of Hazzard" shows. They are really old, but funny.

I agree ELLEN.................I know it's serious, but what are you going to do? Just get on the best we can.........
I feel sorry for the ones that lost jobs, places to live, savings, everything................it's really serious.........
we're at least retired and safe so far in our homes. I pray daily for a back to regular life routine.............
I still go listen to the horses chomp and feel peace. AND, I know God's peace that passeth all understanding.

CB:
 I was wondering about dentist offices.  I have an appointment in April and will probably cancel it regardless.  Donnie is going to PT tomorrow for the last time.  He could go several more times, but we don't want to risk it.  There are no confirmed cases in our region, the closest we know about in VA is about 200 miles away.  It's good to be in the sticks.  It's probably closer to us from the NC side of things, though.  I haven't checked where their cases are located.   None reported in WV yet, they are two counties above us, NC is 2 counties below us.  

 Anyway, we are about as stocked up as we need to be.  Believe it or not,  every time the political news would upset me in the last couple of years, I would buy extra toilet paper and catfood.  I have a lot of each. lol!   I haven't had to buy any since the virus started getting serious.  The locals didn't get into the mad rush of buying until this past weekend, there was plenty of stock of paper products and water up until Saturday.   Now shelves are bare for a lot of stuff.  I am glad I wasn't involved in the rush.  

 I bought 8 chicks at Tractor Supply this past weekend.  All my hens died out last year and we wanted to wait until we repaired the peacock dome before getting new hens.   The chicks were on sale half price.  I have never seen chicks on sale so early in the season.  ThunderPuff is thrilled, the chicks are living in a puppy cage in the bathroom.  Cat TV.  This time next year, we should be covered in eggs.

  The college and university students have gone home.  The nearby towns look like ghost towns compared to normal.  We have about 50,000 students in three nearby towns.  A big percentage of the population have gone away.  Local businesses will probably suffer, but the traffic sure has been reduced.  We usually have quiet summers when they are gone, so it is strange this time of year.

ThunderPuff looking in the aquarium where we housed the chicks the first night.  He totally approves of chicks!

I have some very sad news here. Jim Mallick (Cowboy Pinky) passed away last night. I'm sure some remember Jim. He fought a brave battle for several years after he became paralyzed. Please remember Autum Mallick and family in your prayer.

AZ is dumber and dumber than I thought............today was Election Day...........did we call it off or make changes.......
nope. Why didn't they make it online?

Another thing. Today is St Patrick's Day...........they are all at the bar. It has to close at 8 P. Is there something wrong with me?

I don't believe this...................

Listening to authorities doesn't seem to be a high priority for some people. They have said over and over and over again and again and again.... DON'T GO OUT unless necessary. I guess the government will have to just make a blanket closure of all those places. In New York, they did.

It's crazy here in PA too.  Everything is closing.  Even the liquor stores.  What oh what are people going to do without their booze?  I bet there was a big line yesterday.  The gun shops have run out of ammo.  Don't even get me started on the toilet paper nightmare.

Living on the farm has taught me to always be stocked up on everything so we are in good shape even with ammo.

My dentist called and canceled my appointment for Monday, good thing it was just to have my teeth cleaned. Next appointment JULY...

Our church is doing on line services and the vet clinic put out a statement, call when you arrive and leave your dog in the car, don't come in, we will come out and get the dog.

God help us in this time of insanity.  Stay safe & healthy everyone.

Id say we
All need to be prepared and stocked up. I can see a shutdown and confined to our homes coming. The National Guard has arrived here in idaho. They are swarming and guarding! So get what you can and what you need. PrepaRe for the worse. Stay healthy.
I read about Jims passing. He has struggled for several years now. I hope he is riding in the skies and pain free.
I have dental appt on 27th...i will go to if im allowed or they havnt shut down. I want to get all this fixed so we can travel sometime. Im hoping we dont miss granddaughters graduation.
Everyone be careful. Take vitamins my jessi says and wash hands.
