Sounds like you're better off without FB and their Draconia rules. As far as I know no one monitors the posts here, and your journal is your own space to say what you want. I've never had problems with that in the 12 years I've been here anyway.
Lockdown is rough on everyone. I'm at risk so I haven't been out since early march. Not that I go out much anyway. My friend does my shopping and I'm not allowed to go near him. When I had coal delivered for the fire I had to avoid the coalman. we talked with me on the lawn and him at the top of the steps!
I hope Alex finds something he'll enjoy making a living from. My nephew always struggled with reading and writing, but he works as a mechanic on the big trucks, repairing them when they break down. He drives a huge repair vehicle all over his part of the country. He loves it. Just goes to show it's possible to find a good job eve if you're not the best at reading and writing. There's hope.
Hey, I keep forgetting to check early and we have been busy today. If I don't answer all the posts, I will tomorrow. Oh I am so sorry you have been unable to go anywhere for so long. I get so depressed if I don't at least make a run to the store for food and supplies once a week. We are going to see my parents tomorrow but we stay on the front porch 6 ft apart. My parents are 80 and 84. My Mom has diabetes so she absolutely cannot get this horrible virus. I don't think I have any underlying conditions. My problems are with sleep and you know I am bipolar 2 so I would think I could survive it, but who knows? I hear of people dying now in their 20's, 30's, and 40's. I am 53 now. Alex is 15 so probably be ok, but it is such an odd thing how it affects everyone differently. I just wish they had a vaccine. I miss having dinner with my family including my brother and his family. Only seen them through video chat. They live 2 hours away in Atlanta, GA. Mom and Dad is a 10 minute drive and I don't know how much longer they will live and I

Life is busy, that's just the way it is! I don't mind not going out, but I do need to occasionally to sort out finances. I might have to be brave in a few weeks and make a brief visit to town but it scares me because I could be at risk. Truthfully, anyone could be because there's no way of knowing who it will affect badly, and anyone can be a carrier without knowing it
( ... )
Yeah it is such a crappy virus, you can have it and have no symptoms and give it to someone else. I have a cat who has not gotten sick, so hoping that is a good sign, but every time we go anywhere we could get it even with precautions. I do my best. My son is 15, stubborn won't wear a mask, says it steams up his glasses. I make him wash his hands when we get home
( ... )
Yes when I go out, not everyone stays 6 ft. apart and some wear masks and some don't. It is not gone just cause some states including ours is opening some stuff back up. Next week beauty salons will be open. I badly need to get Alex a haircut and me too. I look pretty bad though I can cut my bangs, also it has been coming out from stress. I don't know what to do with it
( ... )
I just hope opening things up again so quickly isn't going to backfire where you are. We're still on lockdown and social distancing here and it will continue for a while longer at least.
Well, no bald spots is good. My ponytail is very thin too.
Schools are definitely piling too much responsibility on with some subjects. I was nee good at maths, especially algebra and geometry. Most parents are probably completely lost with that and science. It's a weird situation for most parents to b e in, having to be their kids' teachers when many probably know less on the subjects than the kids do!
Sorry forgot questiondebmommy22May 2 2020, 05:08:33 UTC
Can you tell me how you got that tiny icon, I guess it is called right by your name or handle badly_knitted. Mine is just a blank face and shoulders. Must be something they added while I was gone. :)

It's called a userhead. I buy myself one each year, the same one actually. They're like I think $1.99 per year. Just go to the LJ shop and click on Custom Userheads on the lefthand side, under Paid Services. There are hundreds to choose from, but this is the only lady with a stetson so that's me, the country music loving Brit!
Yeah, I hope so! I really hate being alone. I stayed with my parents till I got married at age 31! I have Alex for now, but he will be on his own before I know it and I love him, but not the same as having a husband. Plus Michael was my best friend. We loved the same movies and music. We made each other laugh. I don't know if I will ever find anyone like that again. Oh well. You never know what God has planned for ya.
I forgot, how old are you again Jean, hope I am not being too nosy? I can't remember. I know you are not married unless you got married while I was gone. lol!
Michael was special, you'll never replace him, but maybe someday you'll find someone to make you happy again in a different way. You never do know what's around the next bend in life's road. There will be good things ahead, we just have to get past this awful patch.
Turned 58 a couple months ago, and no, I'm still single and enjoying solitude with my stuffies and my action figures ;)

I just eat what I can when I can and try not to worry about y weight, or lack of it. O was always skinny as a kid.
Hope you can get the injections, sounds like they would be a good treatment for you. No one wants to lose hair.
