mappy

i did. sorry if it got caught up with the clean up. wasnt personal.

sure whatever

okay all cleaned up. politics free as much as possible. @showmethesnow if you wanna talk via PM later, feel free. otherwise the convo is over. stay well friends

nope. we aren't going to get into pissing matches here on who to blame. if wanna go blame someone, this includes you @Wonderdog please go to the politics forum www.americanpol.com

sure. 5 posts per day to start sounds pretty good. take a break man.

Yup, same. I’m the oldest of three Who said I wasn’t

yup, probably. the way i see it, we saved the world.

Mine so far have been fine. Easy, quick. Mr Map hasn't had issues either, as far as I know. In all honesty, the working from home and managing a kid thing has been really smooth for us the last almost 3 weeks. we only have the one, so i will never know if any others would be bitches from the start lol

MD DOH only just started sharing negative tests, 18K I think was the number this morning and only just started opening more test sites. Out of the hard numbers, we have roughly 2,300 positive cases out of roughly 21,000 tested. This includes those who had to be tested more than once, if its happened. what this doesn't include is all those out there who are sick but cannot get tested, which we know is happening. i personally do not know of anyone (in the state) who has wanted a test but couldn't get one, but I am sure many here do know someone like that. the numbers are also delayed. the numbers we see today (and I am talking confirmed cases, not deaths) are not real time numbers. tests results are taking anywhere from 3 to 10 days, if not longer, to get back. so numbers today may include those who came ill last week. we may never have a true sense of everyone who was infected for years after this is over. again, another discussion to be had later. The one thing the state has going for it is Hogan who, IMO, acted quickly to shut things down. Is everyone listening to him? Nope, and they will pay the price for it. But most of us here are doing it, and it means our immediate homes will stay sickness free. we are all doing what we should be doing to stop the spread and keep ourselves safe. I personally think overall, when all is said and done, Maryland will come out of this on the better side of things compared to other states of similar populations. I just don't want to get too optimistic based on what we are seeing today. we are still heading up the curve... its going to be another couple weeks before we see improvements.

I'm going to brag here: My kid is an angel compared to many stories you hear. She isn't the draw on walls type of kid, never has been. She has always asked to do things, even things she knows we say no too (lol), before doing them. its really funny trading stories with my mom friends. we are incredibly lucky.

lol no

last week i chose to sit out the video part of my GIS groups weekly round table meeting. Then my kid got mad at me because SHE wanted to say hi to everyone. So this week, I took the time to freshen up a little (fixed my hair lol) so my kid could say hi during our meeting. everyone loved her. so, it was worth it i guess.

cake? who has cake?

im really glad i have only been wearing elastic waistband pants, hides the weight i've been putting on by eating non stop.

snacks. we go through snacks like no other. mostly the kid. i wouldn't even leave but not a single grocery store delivers to me, so i have no choice.

i have to run out later today. we are running dangerously low on milk and creamer. too much coffee these days lol and i never realized how much milk my kid actually drank hahahaha

no. but i do take some wipes with me to use on the cart handle and picking up products. i have tried to only grab what i need, not looking at product details and the like, then putting it back. disinfecting wipes on EVERYTHING we get and bring home.

its fine, its over and done with. posts removed. apologies given. lets all move along.

Good suggestion @C.A.P.E. Lets move all COVID chatter here, and please TRY to keep it as politics free as you can. I know that there will be mentions of pressers, articles, statements, facts, etc. But please try and not to throw blame around, put down others for there stances, etc. Stay well, friends. Don't make me delete your posts.
