Pipman, many places are cutting back on merchandise, ads, flyers, etc.. The supermarkets and small markets have stopped the ads because the virus does hit flyers, newspapers, books, etc.. Rather than have more people sick, these have been stopped temporarily. You will also notice that some slaughterhouses have closed along with some chicken farms and others as well due to their staff contracting the virus. Expect these prices to climb significantly. We are not driving anywhere, consequently oil and gas prices have gone down. I have already seen markets with empty meat and chicken areas, no pork to speak of. Costco had very little fish when we were there a few days ago. And there take out area was somewhat not there. Hopefully, as States open up and as this virus loses it’s hold on us, you will see more areas opening up.

Some exercise following eating will help with the blood sugar. Can be before or after breakfast or after your last meal.

Pipman, have you read the posts. Many are complaining about the high costs in merchandise but also the shipping. Seems that when HSN was under the previous ownership we had some days for purchasing jewelry all day for $5 shipping. Same was true for those who were into crafts. Seems this has all stopped and the blame according to HSN goes to the Vendors. It’s difficult for me to fathom that the vendors would not want free shipping because it would mean the customers would purchase more. Now you hear that these items go into favorites and hopefully, someday they would go on sale at a reasonable price.

Me, I enjoy anything that flowers. It always cheers me when I’m down and gives me a lift when I have things to do. I don'[t have a favorite because each one is beautiful in it’s own right. A;ways enjoy a nice bouquet.

Sheba, you wished everyone here a Happy Mother’s Day. Now it’s my time to wish you a great Mother’s Day. May you have fun and really enjoy the day. Hope you have a day to be a little lazy.

As you may remember pip, my virus started in a hotel room the night prior to our cruise. It’s not so much who was there prior to you it’s how good a cleaning it gets prior to your arrival.

Sam I lost both parents. My mom’s favorite flower was roses or mums. She detested carnations because they didn’t last too long.

Hi Laurie and welcome. Glad to see that a few youngums remember the correct, I mean the real correct answer.

And Myra that was my first answer. My second was the black phone, then princess and then landline which was also incorrect because they wanted the plural with a “s.”

Hi Tracie. Good to see you.

Oh Sam. I remember many years ago being in a blizzard on Mother’s Day. I had to call my Mom to cancel our trip. She couldn’t believe it until I told her to turn on the TV. You see, she lived 60 miles from us and it was her town that always had the snow and where we lived it was usually a rain event. We made it up to her a few days later when we took the trip following work as a surprise. That was better than any gift.
