Great one. This morning I had trouble to connect to the internet. Can you imagine shutdown without the web? As so often, my wife got it working. Kind wishes, Kai

Would be hard to be without the web now that we've gotten so used to it. Hopefully this shutdown won't drag out too long. Strange times.

we are under bans, schools closed, non essential businesses closed, restaurants only allowed to have take out or delivery.. no large gatherings...no gyms or theaters are opened...drs won't even see the sick... mine want video visits...it made me decide to cancel a test for tomorrow that could leave me needing help and being unable to receive it... stay safe my friend... hugs

Same here. I wonder if we live in the same state, but then again maybe it's that way all over now. Stay healthy. Poetic hugs.

Hello Juliet Ligon, I do not blame you for being scared. We have a lot of shut downs here in Canada. Schools are closed down. All events are closed down.Super markets shelves are barely full. Hospitals are crowded. Have a nice day my friend.
