Sami, I hope you will not feel alone, ever. We are just a few minutes from one another when using this thread. OK, maybe in some instances, a day away. Whatever. Please, use this thread to reach us whenever you need to hear from someone. Health issues are our biggest concern right now. I sincerely hope and pray that you and your family stay well. If you must go out, then please, watch your step going up and down those stairs. Hold on to that railing. I know I do everytime I walk up or down the three steps that lead to our front door.

Sami, thank you for your reply. On another thread I explained why I was so concerned. When I was a youngster my parents and I went to Long Island, NY for a get together. For some reason we were going in circles looking for the venue. There was no GPS to help us and of course those were the days without seat belts. Long story short, my dad doubled park the car in order to ask a policeman for directions. He was at the curb and there was no parking spot behind him or in front. While getting directions, a UPS truck struck us from behind and as I was in the back seat, I was thrown quite forcibly to the front hitting my neck area against the seat. I screamed in pain immediately. The police officer wanted me to go to the hospital, but my parents adamantly stated otherwise. It was days later that we returned home and I went to the doctor. X-rays were taken. There were no broken bones, but I had torn every ligament in my neck. I was put on bed rest and had to wear a collar for months. I also had to go for therapy a few times a week. Because my parents waited too long, some of the ligaments did not return to their normal area. When driving I have to turn my whole body around to see what is near me especially when making a left hand turn. That is why I insisted on you seeing someone. I didn’t want you to end up like me. Looks like you will be fine. You actually made my day brighter. Thanks so much for adding the good news to the thread. It is very much appreciated. I hope you and your family stay well and far away from this virus. Take care.

Velve, I have never washed my veggies with soap. But some people have. I think at one time something was posted to use anti bacterial soap on vegetables so you could get rid of whatever would make you ill. I think that theory has since been debunked. You can not wash salmonella or eboli from vegetables using soap and water. Actually, nothing that I know of would work on those. However, viruses have been known to die out when you use warm water. Go figure……

Hmm….I have no idea. Maybe someone here has that answer.

As far as I can tell we are fine. I’m just getting over the bug, but knock on wood,”” I”m OK and so is hubby. However, where you are, most of us are concerned. Please be careful out there.

Hope they can do it again this year. Now that would be something for the record books.

I hate to be a bearer of bad news, but they told me at the age of 35 that I was middle aged. Go figure. Did I feel it —– NO. Do I feel it now —— NO. JUST DON’T REMIND ME. LOL

xango, just happy that you are both OK. We are trying to do the same. Market once every three weeks or so. Trying to stay away from crowds and remembering to be 6 feet apart. Try that at a checkout line ????? 🙂

Wow, Tracie, that was some season last year. I had no nails left by the last game.

good evening to you xango. I was beginning to feel you forgot us tonight.
