Great Britain first declared "let's all get the virus" & then we'll be immuned. Now Boris has changed his mind...

Brits flock to hair salons as stores like Boots sell out of hair dye amid coronavirus
Brits are rushing to make emergency hair and nail appointments as salons remain open despite a lockdown on bars and restaurants to stem the progression of the coronavirus outbreak. Many visited over the weekend and today (pictured: a salon in Rochdale, Greater Manchester) for emergency trims and root touch-up appointments - while people took to social media to complain they've been unable to purchase hair dye due to people panic buying (pictured inset: empty shelves in Boots on Kensington high street in London). Many products on the Boots website are currently listed as out of stock, while others complained of empty shelves at supermarkets. It comes as Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid admitted she ordered hair dye and root touch-up for her self-isolation period - 'following the lead' of fellow TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp. Meanwhile experts are calling for salons to be shut down to comply with social distancing measures and preserve the safety of customers and workers. Lisa Ackerley, trustee and chair at Royal Society for Public Health, also urged customers to stay away from hair salons during this period. 'However much you need a hair cut, now is not the time,' she told FEMAIL. 'We all need to keep 2m (6ft) apart, so going to the hairdresser or beauty salon is just not going to work.'

OK, I am trying to make sense of this...


You may be surprised to learn that I do not make more than $75,000 per year!


So do I get a check?

I am also not part of a "couple".

Poker, learn poker, teach your kids poker


The Blossom Hill "shut-ins" have no interest


I even knocked on Shirley's door to see if she wanted to play a game & she honked her Subaru car horn at me!

Amanda is having a bummer 14th birthday today...

No school to celebrate with peers
Living in a hotel
Parents are keeping her quarantined
Brothers are OK, but they're not girls!


Some Amanda photos...

Always been sassy...
The boys in Spain did not know what to think!
But, she could play & speak their language!


Leading the breakaway!

And driving Grandpops car!


Happy 14th Amanda!

At our March 12th brunch above the Blue Steps Studio

The Host had notes regarding the timing & menu preparations.


The menu included:

*Mac & cheese
*Meatball sandwiches
*Coffee was made & cups were pre arranged
*There was salad available
*Chocolate chip cookies
*Cheese cake
* a choice of beverages

It was extremely well choreographed. The Host did well.

Alyce provided us with her famous Irish Soda Bread




Everything was well designed.

A special shout out to Susan who was at work but provided the Host with the notes...!

I hear seniors are most vulnerable, so

...before we go, say Hello...



We are hiding in plain site!


I think I read somewhere that 16% of our population is 65 or older & growing.
This thing could, literally, cull the herd.

The senior stats drop to about 2% for people 80 or older.

"don't quote me on that"

Cluelessness on The View


“I’m hoping Dr. Jill becomes the Surgeon General, his wife,” Goldberg said then. “Joe Biden’s wife. He would never do it but, yeah, she’s a hell of a doctor. She’s an amazing doctor.”


Guess what?

SGU basketball team won last night & I think I see my big brother in the crowd!


He's the one in the white 'T' shirt near the middle...

Who chewed on the Martin?



And the reference to Brazil is because when we were young & swinging from the the tree swing over the Tookany Creek...The creek often ran wild!
 we met two blonde haired twins from Brazil. Neither of us had a clue where Brazil was, but we liked their accent!

My new favorite store


Spent an hour in there on Monday!

They have pretty much all the things I have always
 needed & just didn't realize!
