    Finished with my covid vacation,  the first 2 days was a headache and lost my taste and smell, still haven't  gotten that back,, 2 days of body aches and the rest was a mild head cold. Social distancing, wearing my mask religiously and being a hermit didn't keep me from getting it.

    glad your covid experience wasn't harsh.    my insurance agent started feeling bad on a thursday 2 weeks ago.  he got tested that friday and was positive.   felt bad on saturday and went to the hospital .  he died that sunday morning.

    my sister in law and 2 of her kids got it (she got it from her kids who got it at school) and they are fine. they had mild cases.    and my sister and her husband and their only daughter also got it.  they didn't go to the hospital but it knocked them all pretty hard.   they have recovered now

    I tested positive last week.  Symptoms started Monday night - headache, sneezing, runny nose, lot of sinus pressure.  Rapid test on Wed - positive.  Much like a sinus infection or head cold.  Didn’t lose taste or smell.  Some people I know had it months ago and they still don’t have them back.  Sick for only like 3 days really but had “brain fog” until yesterday.  Only lingering symptom is some fatigue.  I definitely had a mild case.  Glad to hear you’re doing better.

    Any one here ever try transplanting raspberry bushes? Any secrets besides digging holes?

    Echo that @commando, leaves or grass. It’s recommended during the fall, but at this point of summer it won’t hurt to re-plant now and begin watering.  @man eating mastodon

    I would guess they transplant very well. An old neighbor used to have a ton of them near our lot line and I played hell keeping them from spreading into our yard. They seem like very durable plants. And yes I would steal berries from time to time.....like you wouldn't.

    We found a huge amount by the river bluff, a solid half mile long ,I dont think the dozen or so I take will  have much effect or be noticed

    TBH, I probably don't completely understand a lot of the rules my business may be subject to. A lot of the stuff doesn't apply to employers with less than 50 employees....some does. I just try to use common sense. When/If that isn't good enough for somebody, they can have the frikken keys. The government sure isn't proactive in providing guidance and I gave up worrying about it long ago.

    FWIW we just wrapped up a monthly conference call and our head of HR/VP of legal said we have one confirmed case in the company, but didn't give details of where they work or who they are (we're pretty national). But, they did say they will be contacting any colleagues that may have been in contact with that person.

    I am privy to certain health issues with employees due to our health insurance benefit.  However, I could get sued if I told someone else that information.  What I don't know is, how does that change if the health issue puts has put other employees at risk.  I still don't think I can tell the employees without consent from the sick individual.  And...for my benefit, that better be in writing.  Now, the health care provider/DHHS should be doing an investigation as to who the employee came in contact with, for which THEY would then notify the coworkers.

    For national news, I usually go with NPR and BBC. If I want a good laugh, I go to Foxnews and sometimes CNN.

    C-SPAN is what all news should be. While I get my news from a variety of other outlets, this is the only one I am willing to endorse. I encourage anyone that is getting news from other outlets to try it out. IMO, you will be surprised how difficult it is to listen to other national outlets afterward, especially Fox and MSNBC. Another tip is to realize news in a 24/7 format results in mostly irrelevant information and sensationalization of stories.

    I try not to watch by news. The imagery is too manipulative.

    I read Reuters and AP on my phone. Listen to npr on radio.

    Has your employer done anything different with this covid 19 stuff?  Today our older or those with any medical conditions were given the option to go until this is over, we have hand sanitizer everywhere, no customers or delivery guys inside the building and everything they drop of sits in a outside warehouse for 24 hours before being opened or used. Sounds like all overtime is done as well.

    It's actually been suspiciously quiet on our end so far. I started working remotely yesterday by choice. We closed the lobbies at all of our properties earlier this week. But, nobody has really come down with any hard fast policy or guidance at this point in time.

    Granted, there aren't a ton of people who work at my company. There are only two other people in my part of the office. But, it's still sort of interesting... the lack of overall communication, I mean.

    I’ve still got my business operating, pretty much business as usual. We don’t get many people in person but I closed access to only employees and deliveries. That will keep out the pesky sales people and probably a small amount of customers. Our walk-in customers are usually a PITA anyway. Also have started cleaning/sterilizing high touch areas 2 or 3 times per day. There’s not a lot of employees so not a biggie. Just hoping the work doesn’t come to a screeching halt. Been very busy so far....

    Well, today I had to turn down some work for the first time due to the Covid. The customer, who we do quite a bit for intermittently, wanted us to go to their location (a jail) and do some work in an area where God knows how many people are touching stuff all over the place. I told him we weren’t doing that type of work at this time. I wouldn’t go in their myself so I sure wasn’t going to send anyone else there.

    Tony Romo to get 17 million a year from CBS , I was never a big fan when he played but in the booth hes great and definitely for me makes the commentary more interesting.

    It was tough to be good under Jerry and his coach providing him with less.  If anything, what he does in the booth is proof that he knew far more than anyone thought ... he just wasn't in a position to trump coach or owner.

    Black Sabbaths first lp came out 50 years ago this week. How any of them are still alive due to the mountain  of cocaine and rivers of booze they consumed is just as amazing as the careers they have had . My sister's friends would be at our house listening to records and I'd sit in the corner looking at album covers, sabbath scared the s#!t out of my 7 year old self and I was hooked .

    The first 4 Sabbath albums are the best. "Heaven and Hell" and "Mob Rules" are the 6 best Sabbath albums of all time. I'd even put Heaven and Hell as their 3rd best.

    Black Sabbath (the song) scared me more than The Exorcist when I was a kid.

    I still have Masters of Reality on cassette!

    I think I was in my 30's the first time I knowingly heard Sabbath after moving to Phoenix, But my oldest brother had an Alice Cooper lp I made fun of. Loved his Zeppelin though.

    Small town life in a town with only one radio station..Had to memorize Styx and Journey songs or hang out at the roller rink and listen to Disco.

    I still picture Bette Davis after her stroke whenever I hear Ozzy.

    Maybe think about getting a 5th wheel camper instead of an RV.  One less engine to keep running.

    @NUance, that's what I meant I guess, a camper, I have no experience with them at all ,JJ you keep quiet this is our retirement plan!

    Some people have been remodeling shipping containers into cabins. I'm not sure of all the pros and cons but I've seen some pretty cool ones that people set on their land in the mountains. You can find 20' or 40' containers pretty easily. They would be more roomy than a camper but probably cost ya a bit more. And would be a bit tougher to move but that might be a good thing if the plan is to not move it.
