Carol, I've talked about artificial sweeteners often on this site. Until I hear some actual proof of diet soda causing harm, I'm all for them. So far, all I've ever been able to find is that when rats consume 20,000 times the amount of a certain artificial sweetener that a human does in one day, they develop enlarged hypothalamusses (sp?). Or something like that. It's like the GMO scares. Monsters under the bed.
At least we know via scientific evidence that the real thing (sugar) causes tooth decay and diabetes. |

I've seen those cute little 7 ounce cans of 7-UP in the stores. I think Budweiser used to sell them by the 8 pack as well.

I wouldn't buy the little cans because on a cost per oz basis, they are a terrible deal. You're paying for the packaging. Plus, I only buy the store brands and they only come in 2 liter bottles and 12 oz cans. If the store brands would do the 16 oz plastic bottles in six-packs like the major brands do, I'd probably start getting those. |

B'gosh! Funny you should mention that! The wife worked at B'gosh before getting her nursing license. Lake Winnebago? We rarely go over that way. It is big, 10 miles across and 30 miles long. Origin Algonquian, literally ‘person of the dirty water’, referring to the muddy Fox River. We live on a channel that leads to the lower Fox River. These up river lakes and rivers are much calmer, cleaner and just closer to home. All of this water helped to attract me to this area...and there is the little woman too! And, don't even get me started with pictures of Leah! |

Wisconsin grocers take varied steps to keep customers and employees healthy, safe amid coronavirus concernsGREEN BAY - Wisconsin residents have been urged to stay home to prevent the spread of coronavirus, but there's at least one place where mass gatherings are unavoidable. Are you taking a risk by going to the grocery store? At one store, plexiglass dividers have been installed in checkout lanes to separate customers from baggers and cashiers, and customers wait in a separate line to be directed to checkout. At another, stickers on the floor keep customers six feet apart. |

At WMN yesterday, for the first time, I wore a mask and safety glasses. The mask was a light blue shop dust mask from Harbor Freight, but I also have a couple of old N95 masks left over from several years ago (2008 - 2012) when I was working as a hospital lab courier. One of the N95's had no elastic head straps on it. I guess it was made to fit in something else. So I cut it into two pieces and put one half inside the dust mask, partially folded. It was kind of uncomfortable until I adjusted it a bit. I pulled the inside (N95) piece up a bit so it stuck out of the top and shielded my nostrils, while I pulled the outer dust mask down so it just covered my mouth. Made breathing much easier. |

They say that those masks won't prevent you from getting the virus, just in spreading it to others if you already have the disease. But who knows. I don't think even the CDC knows for sure.

I had part of an N95 inside the dust mask. Sprayed it with disinfectant prior to putting it on, too. |

Gas prices in Cle Elum WA are down to $1.55/gallon. Ellensburg is 50-75c higher. Right before Inslee's Stay Home order went into effect, I went to a gas station in Cle Elum and put 7+ gallons in for less than $13.00. That hasn't been done here since Bush 43 was president. Too bad we are deep into a pandemic with nothing open!
Plexiglass barriers have been installed at checkouts in at least two grocery stores in Ellensburg. There's tape on the floors to remind people of the 6ft rule, and ALL returns are now denied. Reusable bags are now BANNED from one store due to germs, with 5 cent paper/plastic bag fees being discontinued. There are limits on a lot of items due to demand, and yet half of the stores are still out of items. Many restaurants have closed shop even with the takeout/carryout only rule. Some went on for about a week and then closed for an indefinite period. A few restaurants are still open for delivery/takeout which is awesome. Hiking trails are closed on WDFW/State Park/DNR land. BLM hikes are still open for now, along with Ellensburg city parks (playgrounds are closed). Any non-essential stores are closed due to Inslee's order to shut down. This includes thrift stores. WA has done a good job trying to flatten the curve, the charts look very promising. Maybe we can get out of this earlier than most states. But I don't see regular life returning for another 2-3 months at least.

I have been diagnosed with having Covid 19. I was tested after having several symptoms (high fever-chest congestion-dry cough-tremendous body aches-dizziness).
I am very lucky that I haven't been hospitalized. I have been in isolation for the past week, and I haven't been very happy about it, but I'm glad to have a mild case of this disease. All I can say for everyone who is trying to avoid that disease is to please stay home. Avoid crowds completely. Stay with your loved ones. Take care all....cheers!

Get well soon, Jimmy. I woke up with some pretty serious pain in my lower back. I hope I don't have it too! It's probably not the best time to try to see a doctor. I'll give it a few days to heal.

Thanks! Hope it being animated doesn't drive anyone nuts. Some people can't stand it when things are animated.
