but on a different note  a now according to a reporter  this is really out of hand such nonsense

A reporter for One America News Network asked President Trump if he thought the term "Chinese food" was racist during a line of questioning centering on the president's use of the phrase "China virus" to describe the coronavirus.

Chanel Rion, OANN's White House correspondent, asked the question of the president during Thursday's White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing.

Rion, who spent part of her childhood living in South Korea, asked, "Do you consider the term 'Chinese food' racist because it's food that originates in China?"

"No," the president answered before she finished the question. "I don’t think it’s racist at all."

just to me how silly thing are

there are turds in every aspect of life and HERE WE ARE KILLIN IT

Im in okla to. Was very sad to see that the man who contracted it died. News said he hadn't been anywhere to get it. Means someone in tulsa has it. He was a minister they said. Very sad. I am self quarenteen. I did my first on line pick up shopping at wal mart this morning. God Bless our country & our president. 

I work for a construction company.  We only work on industrial plants.  A handful of paper or lumber processing plants and 3 metal alloy manufacturerers.  One waste product disposal.  Then an odd other type of industry here and there.  Only one of our customers is shut down right now.  Hope it's not where they make TP.

So we are working. We don't get a lot of foot traffic but I'm locked in the office now with no delivery people or carpenters allowed in this space.  My boss and the project manager are the only ones I have face to face contact with. 

I had a stockpile of non perishable food just for something like this already. Lights and water are on. Nothing I need.  So no grocery store or any other type of shopping hopefully until this is over. Unless it's online.  I'm not obsessing about how many cases or deaths. So I don't know.  It's not that I don't care, I'm doing my part. I just don't think it's going to change anything if I haunt the internet daily obsessing about it. I do know there are a LOT more people getting this that aren't dying than are.

Forgive me people I poked the Bear.

vljs:  You could still do, I have a SXS seats 2 people that I could take you for a ride in, you just need a driver.  

On the political correctness of what they call it, I could care less.   However when you have nut cases trashing Chinese restraunts, I guess it makes a difference to some.  Same way with the statues, you can't rewrite history, taking them away is just wrong.  Us liberals have our nutcases too.

I'm hunkered down but I finally have sunshine and 4 horses in the barn I need to take care of.  I should get busy around here lots to  do.  I can't wait to take a break and see what new names I have been called.  

Have a great day and stay safe.

im kinda on the same  thinking process as far as the numbers mostly because there is just to many variances on testing.Im not eating delivery service or drive thrus now,as the kid at a drive thru at mcdonalds was sneezing as he was handing food thru the window the other day:(((

The troops are getting restless here. Tempers are shorter than usual in the office... My husband and I are still working. We have minimal people here at work this week. Its a known fact most are using this as an excuse to stay home. My husband has no choice but to go in. And they are about to make is 12hr shifts 7 days a week instead of 8-5 m-f for supervisors. All because a bunch of rich retirees are freaking out. Yeah cuz having more management on site will keep a virus away? Just stupid BS that I am so tired of. Add in horrible weather and I am about to go stir crazy. Its been a rough week. And to add complete insult to injury, I backed into a gate this morning like a damb@ss..... A gate that SHOULD have been open but the paranoid as heck renter up front decides to close it, knowing that others leave for work in the mornings. Dark gate + no lights in that area = hard to see at 6am.... Oh AND I started today..... Its a GREAT DAY!

I want a margarita and to go run my mare. Thats it. 

Ya. I used to eat one fast food lunch a week and sometimes pick up something to drink and a breakfast item on my way to work. Not for a while. Exactly because of the unknown sneezers. ewwww

So sorry for the people who have to work.  I have been afraid of going out to eat since 3/7, people that make what restraunt workers do usually have to go to work sick out of necessity.  I could use a drink too.

I do have a question for you all.  How long do you leave your horses out on Spring grass?   I'm famous for being from the party of death but I hate to kill my old retired show horses I have finally got out on pasture.  I brought them in last night because of the storm and overnight my pasture has turned really green.  I had them staying out all the time, they have barn they will never go in even in bad weather.

One is 24 and was navicular when I bought him at 8, doing great barefoot and out, the other is 16 with breathing problems.  

Any thoughts appreciated?  I was one of those mean people who kept my horses in stalls all the time for years.

Spring grass is laoded with sugar, I have to be very careful of one of my geldings and a pony so they only get to go out for a very short time about once a week, my gelding is IR and the pony founder a few years back and that spring grass will set off the IR and Founder. So they have underlying issues that the grass will set off.

I would load your horses up with hay befor I turn them out so they wont eat a whole lot of grass for now untill this new grass gets older and wont produce as much the sugar.

Thank you I know all those things and knew it was coming but it just turned way too green overnight.  Is it bad to wish for some horseflies because they will make them go get in the barn off the grass?  I have been feeding them hay and oats while out in the field it didn't even look that green till now.

As much as I love Spring this will keep me busy.  Thankfully I have a mud lot too.  I have picked stalls and fed horses for 55 years.  I'm sort of over the stall part.

Captins log Day 8:  Life in lululand is desolate... only this guy on the couch that says he is Mr Whit... idk... he seems nice.  The dog loves me.  Got the mare stare when i started brushing... got a hiked back leg when i tried to swing up the saddle... She changed her attitude after a little talk.  Still having to report to work.  Must not disrupt the food chain.  Still trying to convince the man in the big chair we could lock the door and only have to deal with them over the phone.  Chair Man says that all the missed innoculations and the farming sec are already vaccinated for CV.  Lulu has the weekend off with no where to go.... the list is long.  the guy on the couch is hiding.  Captian.... out

To lighten the mood.  

Screw the TP. Where do they sell this and are there any left?

• This staying home and cooking thing is NOT working for this non Suzy homemaker girl.  If for some gawd  awful reason my Dr pepper supply chain is severed I have told the geezer in the recliner (husband) that his life could in jeopardy.  Togetherness is over rated.

Thanks but no thanks OregonBR, I have toilet paper and have one of those coming home soon.  He will wonder why I haven't got more done around here and the dreaded..... What's for supper?  Then he will retire to his chair and fall asleep.

My chores are sort of done everyone is fed and happy, the horses and dogs are so much easier than men.

No one is coming over and I'm not going anywhere.  

I have friends really freaking out over this, they are also the ones who said it was all a media hoax.  I have no idea what will happen, I have never seen a situation like this.  My advice is prepare for the worst, expect the best.  Not much anyone can do, we are all in this mess together.  I think they all need watching they are going to be handing out money right and left It's our job to make sure it's going to the right places and people.  IMO we can't do much else and it would be a crime if we didn't pay attention.  They are on both sides.

This made me laugh out loud.  Not only am I not suzy homemaker and don't do Nurse Nancy either.  I'm more like the Justin Medical Team.... you fine walk it off.  I really can't believe I laughed so hard mine has been gone a week, but I may starve to death if he doesn't make me cook soon.

I do miss him

Iowa is pretty boring at the moment.  I'm on a 4 week hiatus from school.  They are telling us that we are to supply links to practice work, but we aren't doing online learning as of yet.  No new material, no graded work, and no special education services. Not sure if we go online how I'll do sped services anyways.  So far I'm getting paid for the mandatory hiatus, but they'll re-evaluate at the end of the 4 weeks.

  My husband is still working.  He sells parts for the auto industry and told me GM goes into a shutdown today.  They are allowed to work if they want to though.  They made it through the Strike, so they should make it through this. 

I have food for probably a good month. My horses have food for a good month as far a grain and supplements go and plenty of hay.  I also have a new pack of TP.  

The entertainment industry has shut down.  No movies, no restaurants, some malls and stores are closing.  We do have carry out or delivery at most restaurants, including beer.   I guess Walmart really will be the outside entertainment at the moment. I have some new books on my shelves and amazon prime, so I should be good to go if we go full quarantine.
