You are right - in the current crisis, online contact is so important, and we can all encourage one another. Thank you for your visit and I was interested to hear your take on Slimming World. Over the years I spent losing my 4 1/2 stone I became more and more convinced that losing weight is NOT about "dieting" but about a change for the better in lifestyle, and the whole-food plant-based lifestyle is superb for weight loss, and maintaining a healthy weight and never having to worry about how much you are eating. I am just hoping that in the absence of my hubby's Slimming World group for the duration, he won't fall off the wagon, but since he's not going out much at the moment, he is only eating what I give him, so all should be well!<br /><br />I agree, where to these ideas spring from? The idea I had about the teabag bleaching just popped into my mind after weeks of not really thinking about it! Some of my best ideas have come in dreams, too! The brain is indeed a very mysterious thing.<br /><br />Happy belated WOYWW,<br />Shoshi #22Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-51782630612218410622020-03-20T15:25:28.809+00:002020-03-20T15:25:28.809+00:00I was thinking the same thing about video messagin...I was thinking the same thing about video messaging - wouldn't it be great to have the WOYWW get together via Facetime or Skype?

His mommy was dropping us some fruit and bread into the porch - how do you explain all this to a five year old! I cried non-stop for 8 hours after he kissed me through the front window. Imagine all the celebrations and hugs that are going to take place once this horrible, horrible time is over. Much love to you my dear friend.

I had a lot of problems connecting this morning, What would our world do if total internet was not available? Kids are all out of schools, doing things on line. It's our only way of connecting with the world other than TV and our local area cannot be reached, we have cable and connect to areas 120 to much farther away. Those areas don't have our local weather. We get that from the radio or some phone service through the internet. TV here sucks anymore. But we pay dearly to see reruns ! I truly need a haircut and shops are all closed. I think basically only gas stations/grocery stores/big box stores are open. And with limited hours. I haven't been out but DH says the shelves are empty, paper products/fresh fruit/veggies are empty. Glad we have a freezer full and neighbors with fresh eggs. We have sever weather forecast for today...high winds, possible 3 inches of more snow rain and tornadoes south. So fingers crossed for electric to stay on. Hoping by next week things have somewhat improved. Off to crafting !

I managed to do my blog post early, but then had a conference call due with a supplier in China so had to prep for that, and have been on the go ever since. Your comment about video messaging made me laugh. The conference call turned out to be a Teams video call - everyone had their cameras on, and when I saw "me" I realised I hadn't brushed my hair. Ah well, at least I was dressed!

What a lovely busy and sunny desk you are sharing. I am currently in the chaos of working from home and expecting Alex to be sent home at any moment. I am keeping an eye on some elderly neighbours as well as friends from church while trying to juggle students who can no longer do their lab projects due to the labs being closed. Anyway, wishing you a very Happy WOYWW. Thank you for being a brightspot in this challenging time.
