They all killed many people but they also went away again and didn't kill everybody. I don't know if there are more stupid people now or if it's just that the internet has made us more aware of them - they are the ones who shout the loudest after all. My husbands quote of the year was 'social media has given some people a voice when they shouldn't even have oxygen' So, I think what I'm saying is this, this will pass, normal will return eventually. Take care of you and your family, wash lots of hands (thats a biggie from the past too!) and do what you can to avoid the idiots. <br />You have a brilliant friend there, she's a keeper! Take care. xxMarksgranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870471905590321642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-23645666877258135892020-07-16T10:40:37.359-04:002020-07-16T10:40:37.359-04:00Oh I've stalked you on Instagram and see a pos...Oh I've stalked you on Instagram and see a post from last night.

I'm trying to live my little life mostly indoors and when I'm out I'm masked. I'm trying to help some folks in my world, my disability community. There's a lot of good out there, too. Just today, I saw that here in Los Angeles, some businesses have put fridges filled with food outside for people to take for free. There's something beautiful about that and something really, really sad.

SO many people have gone through senseless times, I am grateful that I haven't had to do it till now. Although I think actually there were some scary times when I was younger but I didn't notice or worry about it that much.

Whose perspective on the world is not fact-based. (Remember how George W. Bush complained about the "fact-based community"?) I've engaged with a few such people in recent years and I find that it almost always does harm -- to me, probably to them, and to our relationship (such that it is). These days, I just don't go there.<br /><br />That bread IS a fine-looking thing! Holy cow!

It was on a FB group about Brexit and I mentioned that I had questioned a British couple who had voted "leave" about how they expected to be allowed to move to Spain after the transition period. Did they meet the new minimum income requirements etc. They were relations of a guy I was seeing at the time. They "wanted out" (despite dad being Polish) but hadn't realized it applied both ways and that they would most likely not be welcome in Spain any more either. Some female laid into me for this but thankfully everyone else in the group told her to f... off because what I had said was true. So moral of that story - don't get into it on FB! Lesson learned (here at least)!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-90313478043874708882020-07-14T00:02:25.838-04:002020-07-14T00:02:25.838-04:00Wow, if there weren't so many idiot vectors of...Wow, if there weren't so many idiot vectors of disease among us, I might feel sorry for your young friend.

Well I have to admit that is a different twist on all the conspiracy theories. I like the one that says it will all go away after the election in November and we won't have to wear masks anymore.

I keep hearing people that I thought were smart saying things like this. <br /><br />The way it's going right now I feel like we are headed into going back to day one only worse with all this and repeating it.
