 If I sat here and held my chin the whole time, I'd look kind of silly, wouldn't I? Anybody around? Anybody want to chit-chat about yesterday and see how everybody did? See if anybody needs it. If anybody's looking at, I'm wearing one of my vet sports bras, because it feels so comfortable. I was just done, got done doing my stuff around the house, and then I had to drive out and drop off some books. In the other grandma's yard for Oliver for school tomorrow. And then I thought I would check in and see if anybody needs... Hi Jessica. If anybody, you know, needs to talk about yesterday, how everybody did yesterday, I know with the circumstances being different, it may or may not have been as hard as in the past. But then the folks who celebrate traditionally, no matter what's thrown at them, right? Some of you, I saw some great family photos and get-togethers, and some people like him got together and did the best they could and still had all the good stuff. So I just thought I would check in and see if anybody needed to talk about it. I got a clump in my eyelash. That's kind of distracting. Steve and I had a regular quarantine day, and then we decided that we wanted something good for dinner. So we went to, we drove to Ralph's, he went in and he got us a nice, he got two big steaks. He could have just got one for us to split, and then he cooked it all up. And we got, you know the bird's eye veggies, sorry you guys, I'm putting some lotion on my hands. The bird's eye veggies that come in the butter or the cheese, I love those. So I took the points for those yesterday. He made, let's see, the potato, and then he got me some light sour cream. I didn't put any butter on it, and it was just a really terrific, yummy, delicious dinner. I did not have any chocolate. I was tempted to have some. I think I might have even told him, if you see Reese's egg in there, feel free to grab it, and he stopped. And you know, the great thing about Steve, he's always kind about it. You know, when I hear about spouses who aren't so kind, he said, are you sure? You know, are you sure you want to take the points? And then I said, well, look and see if they have any Clio bars, because I'll take five points for a Clio bar. Jan Spells says, oh dear, I'm having such a difficult time, totally losing control. I didn't realize how upset in this all has been. I thought I was doing better than I actually am, apparently. Jan, is your name Jan? Can I call you Jan? That's almost as if I wrote that myself, my friend. You are having the same feelings, thoughts, all of those emotions that I think a lot of us are. I think you just described me to a T. I'm a tracker. I track everything. I should be Jan? Okay, good. Thank you. I like to be one-on-one with my buddies. And I've been struggling with my struggling, because if I don't know if you're new here, if you've been around for any amount of time, but weight-watching is my thing. You know, some people are quilters and sewers and painters, and I'm a weight-watcher, and I'm totally stinking at my job right now. I'm totally stinking at it when I say job. See, that's what I'm struggling with, is that while I say I'm struggling or that I'm stinking, and that I am up, I'm up three pounds right now, even though I feel bigger, but I still can wear my clothes, so that's a good thing. Even though I'm doing everything right, what's happening is something that I never had trouble with before, and what I'm doing is at the end, I start off with my days really great, right? I think we kind of wake up and we've been asleep off and on in intervals. If anybody else is sleeping like me, I have not slept one full night, so then, okay, it's a new day, we can do this, and we eat a good breakfast and a good snack and a good lunch, and then dinner's like, okay, dinner's good, but sometimes what's happening with me is I'm eating higher-pointed foods for dinner, now my portions are good. I don't know how to describe it so that it makes sense. Normally, I don't eat with my husband and my grandson. I pre-plan on my food, I have my own WW foods, they're fine with it, I'm fine with it, and during this, I'm eating with them. So by the end of the night, I also am tired and frustrated and sometimes scared, and what does this whole thing hold for all of us, and then that's when I get in trouble. That's when I pull my Mickey Mouse cookie jar over to me, open the head up and grab three of whatever cookies are in there. I have since told Steve once more that he's got to put his cookies somewhere else. I haven't been drinking the normal amount of water, it's been raining for like six days straight, so I haven't gotten my walking in, and apparently all of that really matters with my weight loss, because those are the things that I'm not normally doing, and I am up. I'm making a video today that I'm going to post for tomorrow. I'm doing what I eat in a day today, and I'm also having a little chat with you guys about something else that I'll touch on there, and if you watch that when it goes up, maybe I don't want to be redundant so I'm not going to talk about it now, but you're not alone, my friend. Kim says, went to my daughter's and sat on one side of her yard with a mask on, while her and her and my grandkids stayed on the other side. Better than not at all, but still awful. Well Kim, what is it? Better than not at all or awful? It's better than not at all, not awful. It was an awful. You got to see them. You got to hear them. You got to be in the same plot of land with them. Hi honey. Kim, I'm having a hard time sleeping too. I sleep in intervals, like I said. It's like, okay, I'll go sleep for a while. And then I wake up with Steve at five, right? I know it's awkward, honey. I know. So I get up with Steve at five and then it's like, okay, I'm up. And then it's like, uh, I don't want to get up. What am I going to do? Especially right now since I don't have Oliver. So I go back to sleep and I sleep to like 10. Anna Maria has her water. Good. Bonita, good afternoon. I track even when I go over on my daily point. Good job. That is perfect. That's great. I do the same thing. Anna says, we can't walk here either, and my water is down and way affects us. Yeah. Anna, absolutely. And so, you know, I just have been, I've been stinking at my water, but I got it now. But I still haven't, I still haven't right now, even though this morning I was aware of it one, because today's Monday. Now I'm not normally that let's start over on Monday girl. Just happens to be Monday. And, um, I was going to drink my water. I have, I'm not even anywhere near close to the amount that I normally have by now. Honey says she thought she was mentally strong and calm. It turned out I'm just someone who walks and swims a lot. I love that. Um, isn't that interesting that you should say that? Because I always thought I was too. I don't spook easily when it comes to world affairs. I should say didn't used to. Um, and hi Barbara, hi beautiful Barbara. Hey, everybody's got to go over to Barbara's YouTube channel, please. She has a YouTube channel where she paints her beautiful paintings and she's having a giveaway right now. Please go over her, over there and give her all your love because if anybody deserves it, she does. She's just like, she's the, the calm in the storm that lady and she's got a beautiful soothing voice. So let me tell you something right now. Please guys, if you're feeling anxious, you don't know what to do with yourself. You don't want to watch the news. You don't want to watch me. You don't want to watch, go to Barbara's channel, watch her paint, listen to her soothing voice and it's the next best thing, if not better than meditation. It'll just bring you to a really great place. Bonita, um, I don't, because I keep forgetting they put it on there and um, I don't, I think it's a good idea. Hi Karen, uh, subscribe and comment over at Barbara's. Please, please, please let her know you're there. It's, I think it's just Barbara Pask, Jessica. Um, but she'll put it down here. Barbara, you want to stick the link down here for the ladies so they can come visit? I think that's one of the things that I've been struggling with too. Oh, I think, yeah, you guys can click on her name right here. Duh, I didn't really think about that either. Is a, is this, this whole thing has me spooked and I'm, I'm a little annoyed with myself that it has me spooked because I was never that person and apparently now I am. As, uh, as I've gotten older and I have different health issues and I have a reason to be spooked. So I get it. I totally get it. But we're all spooked and, and you know, there's some folks out there who are just sticking to the program. I don't know who I haven't run into anybody yet. But I'm sure they're out there. I missed my virtual meeting on Friday because here's the thing with my virtual meetings. I love my meetings. I look forward to them. Uh, it's my only social activity every week. And now I'm just sleeping right through them because it's an eight o'clock meeting and I don't set my alarm, which I should. Nita, set your alarm. I, I should, here, here, let's set it now. Remind me, no, let's do it differently. Set, set an alarm. Remind me at 730 Friday a.m. that I have a meeting. That way I'll be awake by eight. All right. So there's the challenge. I gotta get in there and listen to a meeting. I'm with you guys as far as it not nearly being the same, but it's better than nothing. I think I'm trying to be positive, you guys. I'm just trying, trying, trying so hard to be positive. Barbara, look at her go. And I, I gave her a shout out on my video yesterday. Thank you, Karen. Thank you, Kim. Thanks guys. You're going to be so glad you did. I'm so, I don't like it. Okay. This is another weird thing about Anita. You know, when I say these weird things, I don't mean to offend anybody. Okay. It's just, I'm a little weird. I'm a little wonky. Unless it's Steve or my mom, or perhaps my children, I have this weird thing when people say they're proud of me. I can't explain it. I'm not even going to try. So I'm not going to say I'm proud of Sandy. I'm so excited for her. I'm happy for her. She has just been working so hard for this, and has wanted it so badly for so long. And she hit that 90 pound mark. And I'm just so happy for her. I'm so happy for her. Oh my gosh. I mean, I couldn't, hi Andrea. I couldn't be happier for anybody else in our community. It is her year. She started off and, and doesn't she just look amazing too? When I turn around and I look at her, she's so thin and she's wearing different sweaters. And she just looks fantastic. Is anybody else's hair growing like weeds? I didn't realize how fast my hair grew until this whole thing started. But one of you goes, I didn't go to different workshops around the country. It makes me feel like I'm traveling somewhere. You know what? I remember you telling me that, or somebody else did too. I think that is the greatest idea. I just wish I could figure out how to do it. I can't figure out how you do it, how you find a workshop. I can't figure it out. If you have any pointers, I'd love to hear it. That's awesome. So was it, did everybody have a good day yesterday? Bad day? Kim? Anna, how long have you been doing WW? Karen, are you talking about tracking water on the app? It's a new, let me see. Oh, the workshop's okay. See, I'm so slow sometimes. Give us all a hint, Bonita, on how you do that. It didn't feel like Easter. And it's okay, it doesn't feel like life, right? Nothing feels like anything normal right now. I went to one Friday in Hawaii, it was pretty good. That's awesome. Go into groups, search workshops by state. But then you'd have to figure out the time and all that stuff. I think I'm making it harder on myself than it has to be. Barbara, okay, Anna says, go to groups and connect. Search for whatever city you want to visit. Oh, do you plan it ahead of time? Okay, this time I've been doing it since June 2019. It's my third time now. Okay, is your hair June 2019? Okay, that's about right. Speaking for myself and speaking about hair, Mel, my friend over at Mel's WW journey, just put up a video today how she got her hair to grow back in. Because when she was losing weight, her hair fell out. When I started off my hair fell out, it's obviously coming back again. But for anybody who's having problems with that, I strongly suggest you go check out her video. She's just a beautiful sweetheart friend of mine. And it's very common, super duper common. They have it posted once you join that city's group. Yes, plan ahead. Okay, that's where I'm blowing it, Anna. I want it. It's like with me, sometimes I'm in the mood like, I shouldn't have liked to go to a meeting, sit in on a meeting right now. And I wish there was just a way that, you know, anybody need a meeting, go here now, you know, that type of thing. But I can't have everything in life, can I? So again, Mel's weight loss journey, she's a beautiful brunette, the thumbnails, she's got her hair down, and the thumbnails is something about growing her hair in. But it's actually about how she got it to grow back in after her weight loss after it fell out. Man, you guys, when I first started dropping the weight, I was losing more hair than weight, it seemed like. It started to get a little nerve-wracking. But it came back. And I don't know, it's growing super fast. I just got it cut. But then again, I think time has gotten away from all of us, right? Okay, there is another. We also, last night, we ate our dinner, and I needed to take it. Barbara, I wanted to tell you this because I think it's so fun. I know what I'm doing is completely different than what you're doing, but I want to tell you nonetheless. So my paint by numbers is so very teeny, a tiny, okay? All the things that I'm filling in is so, so small. So here's my pinky for reference to how small these things are. So yesterday, because we'll do a little during the day and then we'll do something else. And then we sit at night. Night is mainly we'll sit here and we'll each have a drink and we'll paint and listen to our tunes. And yesterday, I was seeing cross-eyed, all of a sudden, Steve, now Steve's hanging on the wall. He's got way more room on his than I do on mine. So his eyes weren't bothering him. But yesterday, I'm like, man, my eyesight is just horrible today. And for a minute, I'm like, you know what? And then finally, I realized it was for hours and hours of doing that. So yesterday, we just had to take a break. I did. He sat down and did some more of his. He's really, he's digging it. He's such a perfectionist. But yeah, my eyes hurt so bad. Okay. Barbara says, my hairdresser said, buy a good brush and brush it more often. Oh, wow. That's good to know. Bonita says, I go to find workshops and connect groups. For instance, Fat Dag is in Carmel. His real name is Michael. So are you a Fat Dag fan? I guess you are if you're looking them down on a connect, don't you? And this is a trick. I'm getting in more water, by the way. Every time you take a sip, take 10 gulps. It's amazing how much you drink. I drink a lot of water. I just, water is my thing. Yes, Karen, they have it all. Steve cheated. What time is it there here? It is, oh my gosh, it's three seven, it's three 18. Holy cow. Guys, so that's our thing. Oh, let me show it to you one more time. There's a couple of spots he's going to fix for me because it's just with my hands. I just can't get in there. But here's mine. We're going to fix her eyebrows, even though I thought it would be a good idea to leave them in honor of this pandemic where all of us, all of our eyebrows are going to look like that once this is over, right? I thought I was pretty funny. Yes, Barbara. And you know what, I don't know if you heard, but Oliver's horse had to be put down. It's actually simplicity. It's a simplicity vintage. It says simplicity vintage and it says 1950 over here. It's super cute. I can't even imagine what somebody with actual talent can do with it. Anyways, when I called as grandma and we were talking about Oliver going back over there for a little while, her voice just got real low and she goes, yeah. She goes, yesterday we had to put cotton down and that's Oliver's horse. It was, Cindy's had cotton for a gazillion years and just now got a new horse. And then of course the cotton was Oliver's horse, right? And I got so upset. I mean, I was just like, it was alarming how upset I got because immediately I thought of how these last few days all Oliver's been talking about is my horse cotton and grandma's had cotton for 30 years and cotton's like, I mean it's all he's been talking about and here he was going to go over. And I literally was feeling, I don't recall the last time I ever felt that kind of pain for somebody to the core of my heart. I just freaked out and I was trying not to cry but she was crying and then I started crying and then I thought, oh my gosh, this little boy loves this horse. He's still talking about Clara, which is a dog. So it really shook me up and right after that my hands, my legs, everything just broke out and then from this whole caca la toro, you know, so yeah, I'm broken out right now and that doesn't help my weight either so I need to keep that in mind because when I have the inflammation that accounts for at least a good pound so I need to remember that. You guys, this is the weird thing so I told her, I said, text me after you tell him, you know? See, I can just cry all over again. And she said he did really well and I'm afraid that it's one of those things because I'm like that when it comes to death in certain things. Like it doesn't hit me until later so thank you, Jan. I'm afraid that when he gets back here is when it's gonna hit him. I don't know. So anyways, let's talk about healthier things. I didn't call you guys Dr. Bombay, come right away to talk about sad things and it was just crazy. So I was starting to say we started watching Knives Out and then Steve had to go to bed because he has to be in bed by 9 o'clock or else I feel horrible when he gets up in the morning because he gets up so early. Thank you, Kim. So we're gonna finish Knives Out tonight, finish some painting. You know what, you guys, I have to tell you that and I know I keep saying this. Thank you, Anna Maria. Thank you. It's just that time that it's like, I don't know, I have so many feelings about this whole thing. Some? Quite positive. But I have to say that I'm really enjoying when Oliver's over at Grandma's. I'm really enjoying this time with my husband because he... I don't know. Who was it that said that serving me was his love language? Was it Mindy? No. Who was it? It was one of you guys that I talked to kind of regularly. Was it Barbara? Was it you? And he makes dinner every night. He goes in there. He does it all. I don't try to even help anymore. I sit out here and I play with you guys on the YouTubes or on the internet or I'll paint. He's got a newfound love affair with Linda Ronstadt. He just puts this music on over and over and he just sits here and he sits with this little dog in his lap. It's really strange how he's handling this whole thing. But he's just been such... I couldn't be luckier to have the husband that I have. I mean, he just really takes care of us. I did talk to him. Yeah, he's still... He's glad he's still working too or else things wouldn't be going so well. Poor guy. It's like... In the mornings when we wake up it's like he tips his toe and dips it in the water. He always gets up hours before me and he'll peek around the corner to see if I'm up yet. Like, okay, what am I getting today? He is a jewel jam. And I make sure that he knows that you guys and make sure that he knows I don't take him for granted and that I appreciate everything he does for us. You know what, Barbara? And that's kind of the stinky thing right now is that... Anna, that's so funny. That's the first time I've heard anybody... That's so funny. I can't even help with the dishes with my hands. I've got my gloves. I guess I could. Luckily we bought those gloves right before this whole thing hit, huh? So anyways, I just wanted to pop in and see if anybody needed to talk or vent or anything. My nails are stained. They're not dirty. That's so funny. After the holiday, because I know it was hard for people otherwise, we smelled a lot of good stuff when we went on a walk yesterday. That's for sure. And Easter was good for Oliver. She made a ham and some good stuff. So they were good. Everything's good. It's just... I know it's hard, you guys. I feel like I come on here and I want to talk and I know nobody has anything to talk about. Is anybody else doing anything artsy or craftsy or off the wall? Or what do you guys do in the past time if you're not working? I'm interested to know. I know what Barbara does. I have a group these Friday morning, 10. And you know what? The one thing I can say is that there was... Yeah, Barbara, it is strange time. Nope. No, honey, nope. I completely forgot what I was just going to say. Oh, you ripped off your deck and Kim's doing some sewing. There you go, guys. Are you going to build a new one? That's what we should... Well, if it stops raining long enough, it's not raining today, but it looks like it's going to is clean off our patio. Oh, Jan is working. Okay. Thank you, Jan. And then I would like to sit out there and make some... Oliver loves when we sit together and eat as a family out there. So I should work on the hands, digging up bushes, getting a new patio to drive with. Nice! Jessica is cleaning, organizing, and moving furniture. That's not boring. That's not boring at all. In fact, what I'm supposed to be doing, I told Steve I was going to do today, I have my event sports bra on you guys. I'm wondering what that is. Oh, Jan, that sounds so nice and relaxing. I can hear mine right now out there. Um... Steve asked me, in fact, we'll hang up soon. I'll let you guys go because it looks like everybody's okay. Nobody needs to talk about anything. We'll talk about this in a few time. But he asked me if we had a dish soap. You know, I mean, a dish... dish... known as soap dish. I can't think. And I said, oh, I probably have one in the cabinet in Oliver's bathroom. He goes, oh, we'll never find that then. Because it's kind of a disaster area. And so I need to go in there and find the dish soap dish and I need to just pull all that stuff out and just throw most of it away. If I... I haven't seen it and we've lived here for nine years and I don't even remember the last time I was down there. I know. I just split in, Kim, have a great night. I know it's probably dinner time for you guys back there. Hey, I made the... does anybody here have a panini maker? I pulled out my panini maker. I put it back. I have my chicken, you guys know, I always have my chicken and my salsa and my crock pot. Always have it. Wait it out. And then wait out the low-fat mozzarella cheese. Put that bad boy in the panini maker. When it was done, sliced it with my pizza slicer. Had a holy guacamole on the side to dip it in. Oh my gosh, it was so good. And in the panini maker, it's just the texture so much better than I would say the microwave or I know some people do it. It was good, Barbara. It was really good. I have a feeling it's going to be my go-to for a couple weeks. Except I need to send Steve... Hi, Sandy! Karen, it was good. Oh, so, so good. I need to send Steve to Trader Joe's for some low-fat mozzarella stuff I have now. It was three smart points for two ounces and that's a lot. I'm not used to taking it, but it was good and I'm glad that I thought of a new way to use my panini maker. I'm trying to think of different things but I've just been so lazy. It's like I'll sit and I'll think, okay, I need to make a video. I need to make a cooking with me video. I've seen some really great stuff. I did a breast in the air fryer tonight, spread a little maricolabonic first. Oh, that's a good idea. Steve cooked our steaks in the air fryer last night and they came out great. I need to watch him cook in there. Looks like we're probably going to be quarantined over both of our birthdays. Me and May and he and June. That's okay. You know, this whole thing for me actually is okay because I'm used to being home anyways. It's just, um, I like going to the market and I can't do that. That's alright. My husband provides everything. And I should do the patio in the bathroom. Let's see what it looks like. Yep, it's still pretty gray out there. Barbara, do you have one of the basket air fryer or one of the ones like... Let's see, where's mine? Oh, it's over there. You can't see it. But you've seen it. There's my Panini maker. I'm on the 20th, Anna. So you're a Gemini like Steve. He's June 8th. I haven't yet either only because I'm always... I am not... Who was I watching? Who was I watching? I don't remember. It's probably one of my Disneylanders. I... Chicken scares me. I chicken... The thought of chicken not being all the way cooked it just is a little... So I'd rather have it overcooked. Or, like, let me put it this way. Um... When Steve offers to barbecue and he says he'll do it on the barbecue I never eat it because I just know it's not done all the way. And the poor guy... Let's see, Jan is asking, am I the only one who has become food obsessed with order for my grocery store for delivery and all I think about is ordering food. It's crazy. Jan, I don't think you are. I think that's probably pretty... pretty common right now. I should, Barbara, but I don't... It's like I don't trust that either. Um, I was... Jan, I was saying earlier or another video or sometime. I don't know. Everything melts together. When I repeat myself, I apologize, you guys. Um, we have more than enough food between... So Steve has us prepared for an earthquake. So we already had that going on. So necessities we have. And since he can still go out, and I could too, but I don't, every day he goes to the store to get something different. We need nothing. We don't need anything. But we just keep thinking of things. It's like, like last night, let's get a steak. It wasn't necessarily because it was Easter. Um... And, you know, I have everyone eating sensibly. I'm getting through this by baking cakes and biscuits. And I probably have to be removed. Ha ha ha ha ha! I guess you can joke about it, because, you know what? That's all we can do right now. That's all we can do. And let me just tell you, the only reason I'm not doing what you're doing is because I can't cook right now. It's very uncomfortable to try to do it with my hands. I drop everything. Ugh, it's so frustrating. I drop everything. I've got a ton of cake mixes and stuff in there. But you're not alone, honey. I just hope you don't think for a second that you are. Oh, Neat, this is... I already saw ads for Mother's Day gift shopping. It said, wow, usually I spend Mother's Day in New York City. And you guys keep talking about your dang pickup dates, man. We don't have that here. We have to go to the store and buy it ourselves. Chan, you know what? I do remember that we need nothing. But then I think I have this weird frame of mind and Sandy talks about it in her videos when she says that weekends are hard for her. And I think the reason... Maybe I have talked with her one-on-one about it. I think the reason being is because her whole life, even though she worked retail and did work weekends, it's like that's when everybody... That's when the world parties, right? On the weekends. That's when it's okay to have one too many drinks, too many pieces of cake, whatever. And with the world in the state that it is right now, we're on the perpetual weekend. So we all have that going on in our head. Oh, well, why not? You don't have to be accountable for anything, right? All we have to do is stay put in our homes. Which I hope you guys are doing, by the way. And I think that's why we feel like that. I think it's human nature. And since we've never been through anything like this before, we're just finding that out about ourselves. They were Barbara. They were super good. And I'm glad it only made eight. Oh my gosh, I have to tell you guys something. Okay, honey, I'm about to make you feel better. Hi, Janet. How are you? Welcome, welcome to the Big Talk About Nothing video. If there's anything you need to talk about, bring it up. We are here to talk about it. So, I bought one of those already made. Just slice them up, cookie rolls. I can't believe I'm going to tell you guys this. I think I already told you, but I'm not going to tell you yet. For Oliver, so that he would have something to do. And last week, Steve went to bed, and Oliver and I were like, we don't want to go to bed yet. Let's make the cookies, okay? So Oliver and Janet are in there making the cookies. We're having a swell time. And Steve comes home from work the next day. He goes, why? And I go, why? And the big talk, and I go, why? And the big plate with all the cookies, I have one cookie left on it. I ate all the cookies. See, Jan? See, honey? You guys aren't alone, and that's why I'm not making it. That's why I'm not buying it. That's why I ate all those cookies. I can't figure out why I'm three pounds up. Honey, you're not alone. I promise you, if we all slept in the same room, or if we all slept in the same bed, like Willie Wonka's grandparents, we would all have the same thoughts every day. It's like, like I said, I wake up at five with Steve, and it's like, okay, let's tackle this day. Let's go get them, need us. Wait, there's nothing to tackle and nothing to get at. I am often asking, just like just now, I didn't know what time it was. I never know what day it is. I think we're in April. No, no, no, not just you. I know that there's some folks out there who are doing really well as far as sticking to a routine and getting up and taking the showers and their pits and all their things. No, I'm not. The only reason I even have anything going on today is the same reasons last time. I don't think my husband deserves to come home looking at it. I mean, I just, that's my love language, maybe. So, love language is very, very interesting. It's something I can do for him. Have my parents be a little nicer if he is stuck here at home with me. Sandy says, I totally really watch what I'm bringing into the house right now. That bingo lady, I have been struggling before the virus but I'm really trying to get back on track and stay there. You know what, that's everything. If it's not in the house, you can't eat it, right? And when we went to Ralph's yesterday, I told Steve, I said, you know, my favorite, this is the only store that sells my favorite caramel pudding. And again, he goes, I just bought you chocolate. Do you need another pack? And he just gives me that second to think about it and then I just back down and I don't have it. So, since it's not in here, Karen says, we need the underwear with the dame. That's awesome. Oh, Jan. Thank you so much. I get on here and I see, I don't know if you guys can see my numbers and I see like there's 24 people in here and then boom, everybody just leaves and I'm thinking, oh man, nobody needed any help. Nobody wants to talk. Nobody loves me anymore. I'm just kidding. So when you say something like that, thank you so much. Seriously, you have no idea how much that means to me. Thank you so much. I can remind myself when I'm feeling a little less than, which I think this thing has everybody feeling stuff that we don't normally feel because we have too much time to think and feel stuff that we normally have. I did call my mom today. I faced time with her and the only problem my mom's having is she's in her beautiful new house, but her beautiful new house is about a third the size of the house she's used to living in. My father has Alzheimer's, so she's going a little bit crazy. A little bit crazy right now, so me and my sisters just continue to face time and talk to her and my gosh, my sisters have gone over and taken what she needs. No, we do need this. I think we all need this, Anna. You guys are the best. I love the live videos. It's like extra workshops. Be sandy. See, that's what I was hoping when I jumped on it. I was like, I'm not going to talk about it. Maybe somebody has something that they want to talk about. Don't worry about that, Karen. No, we can go back to any topic. There are no rules here. Zero rules. Mita doesn't like rules except for kindness, of course. Barbara, don't even get me started on that. Oh my gosh. Oh, Janet. Thank you so much, you guys. Thank you so much. When we went to the market yesterday, I stayed outside. I kept my mask on and I stayed outside of the truck and fiddled around with my phone. And the amount of people that I saw just chewing and throwing just like it was another day with no mask. Just let's go to the store. It was mind blowing. And then of course I came home and bitched about it for two hours. Steve just, God love that man. He just listens. And he doesn't always agree with me. This is what he said yesterday, Barbara. Give me. I said, this is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. They need to put on masks. You know what he says to me? Because we live in Ventura County. We don't live in Los Angeles County where it's mandatory. He goes, well, it's not mandatory in Ventura. And I had a great time coming back. I can't remember what it is right now. Something about, you know, it doesn't have to be mandatory to be stupid. Put on a mask. Put on a kerchief. Just put something over your mouth. And then what really even bothered me more is the amount of work. Steve came out and told me that between every order those cashiers and the clerks are scrubbing down. Everything's spraying. Everything's scrubbing it down. How about a little respect for these workers who are still out there putting their lives on the line by letting us have a place to go shop for all the food we don't need? Just have some respect for the rest of the world for crying out loud. My family has lost interest in talking about this with me. Sandy about the world or about WW. Anna wants to know if anyone else is feeling other signs of stress. I think my hair falling out is due to stress. Look at me. Stress, sister. And my eyes are twitching. I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing with you. Yeah, that's absolutely stress. And since we aren't as busy as normal we're noticing these things that are occurring with our bodies. That we don't. And I'm not making light of the situation. Sometimes it's just so interesting. Oh, Bonita, I'm sorry. But I keep trying to think. Sometimes I don't even know what time it is when I get on here and then I go, whoops, it's dinner time. But does anybody really eat dinner at dinner time? Right, Sandy. And I completely agree. Oh, gosh. And for your daughter, Sandy, is exactly who I'm talking about. She's there doing her job as rest of the retail workers so that we have the luxury at this point to go to their stores. How about we do our part and put on our freaking masks? Well, I am, but you know what I mean. Hi, Esther. How was your Passover, friend? What did Barbara say? Yes, an online friend's father died. All right, Lowe's and Home Depot are a whole. You know what? Okay, I worked at Lowe's for quite some time. I was lumber cashier at Lowe's. So I have a lot of friends still from work that are still working there. I didn't finish reading your whole thing yet, Barbara, because I don't want to get upset, but they say that people just come up there and they just hang out. I guess they don't have any rules at Home Depot or Lowe's as far as how many people can come in the store or hang out or whatever. And it's just like, there's no rules up there. And let me go back and see. Oh, are you talking... are you, Barbara? Yeah, no, because he wasn't healthy. Hi, Cheryl. So random. That's why I'm asking everybody to stay home. You know, I'm pissing off a couple of people, but you know what? I don't care. If it's going to save my life or it's going to save the life of somebody that I love, I don't care if people don't want to be bothered with my soap boxing. Agreed, Jan. I agree so much. It's very tight there in London. Esther, that's great. Deja Vu, big time right now. Deja Vu. Sue took time from Walmart. She was scared. I don't think I know Sue. Sue, do I know Sue? I don't know. I know my friend Sue. I tried to stock up for two weeks of groceries over the weekend so I can minimize my trips to the store. There you go, Sandy. When you work at Target, let's 300 people in and I think that's too much. That's why I took a leave, not worth it. I agree with you, my friend. Sorry, I keep shifting because of my back. Sue has a WW channel. I guess I have to be honest with you guys. I haven't been watching much YouTube lately, except for my Disneylanders because all I really care to watch is stuff that lifts me up. I'm not really watching any Weight Watcher channels because I'm not going to say why I don't watch them. I just haven't been. But I'm not familiar with Sue. That does seem like a lot of people. I don't know. There's so many. Oh my gosh. Why didn't you guys tell me? You know, they just need to make the rules. Thumb tap them in the wall for everybody to see it. Everybody's got to follow those rules or they're going to be fined. Let me run the world. I'll take care of it. Absolutely, Barbara. Absolutely, yes. And I don't know why I'm so late to that party. I just haven't been turning on a lot of YouTube. And when I do, like I said, there's some Disneylanders and some friends even though if you ask them, do you hear Anita's friend? They'll go, who? Everybody in my head is my friend. They do their daily stuff and I just watch them because I'm not 100% in the game right now. I do watch Sandy. I do watch Sandy. I don't know what to say. We'll talk. Esther says, most stores here only allow 25 people in and that's larger supermarkets and small stores only let in too. That's nice. That is tight. That's the way it should be. Right before I came on here, Jan says, my grocery store lets in 20 people at a time and there is one way walking down the aisles. Oh, that's awesome the one way walking now because sometimes these conversations come in handy. I'm not the biggest loser in the world. I asked Steve because I always ask him when he goes out when he comes back, what was it like out there? You know, it's like the Twilight Zone. What was it like? What's the world? So when he came out of Ralph's he said that he had to stand in line to get in but the aisles people are not just distancing themselves in the aisles so that is such a good idea. That is such a good idea. Maybe ours will catch on soon because I don't want my husband. You know, he that's really a great idea. Huh. I mean, we have I don't know what to say anymore but I'm glad I'm being able to talk it out with you swells before he gets home so that I can talk about something else. I wish I could put a camera in here and you guys could watch him go through his routine. It's so funny. He's so cute. I don't know why Home Depot why are Home Depot and Lowe's essential? I mean, I know somebody could give me an answer. I'll go, oh, well, I didn't think of that. But why aren't they, why don't they have any rules and regulations and maybe we should change the subject. Maybe if a woman was running the world, right? The States. Right as I was coming on here on my face, but they were having their daily brouhaha from you know who and I was like, oh, time to go on and talk to my homies. Yeah, we have the markings on the floor too. They have big Xs but like Steve and I went for a walk yesterday people walking into me, sales associates walking away from me, I know I was never a Walmart fan to start with that's another way I'm making friends all the time by admitting that that's what I was gonna say because if the men were at home, the police could not keep up with all the wives cause I'm crazy. If you saw my video yesterday when I said in the truck that I was been kind of moody and kind of grumpy and that Steve got to leave and go to work every Monday and he's like alright, well, I'm gonna go have a snack and wrap this up I know and it's just a bummer for those of us who do. I saw Ellie Wentworth on TV today and oh man I, you know, it's like part of me wants to watch the folks that have had it or have it now with the descriptions so that we're in the know but we are Barbara well you are, hi Beth we're just sitting here just talking about nothing cause we all need somebody to talk to some folks like myself are home today not today, during the day by themselves so I love having the Dr. Bombay ability. I haven't talked to you since you guys had your Zoom Passover. How did it work out for you? Was it enough for this year until next year? Bye Sandy thanks for popping in, I sure do appreciate it figure out what to do with my chicken for dinner.

I mean think about it, when the children grow up they're gonna go that one path that'll be the one Passover they'll always remember holidays seem to run together unless something tragic or really

if we have a 4th of July that's gonna be one cussword coming cussword coming hell of a 4th of July I'm not so sure we will though I think that this is gonna last longer than folks want the other thing

not tell everybody safe we don't stay crazy stay crazy in your house you're not alone going crazy in your house we're all going crazy alone some folks have smaller homes and are stuck with a larger

get them girl I was supposed to be walking but I came on here to be with you guys instead thanks for having me Beth says we know 3 people that have died I'm so sorry it is so much bigger that I'm so sorry Beth it's much bigger than being stuck at home I wish I might copy that from you at some point when I'm talking because it's just the truth it's very sobering isn't it these people that are strutting around walking around won't make room on the sidewalk it's like I want to stop them right there and say oh this is home Anna said I've got chores okay it's okay it was a holiday weekend and it's over and it's done with and hopefully if you did go overboard like you said maybe I hope you enjoyed it hope it was good hope it was good hi honey that's Steve made for himself but you're here I'm hearing stuff so tell him how you made that it's a sleeve from a t-shirt cut it almost like you're making a tank top cut it right here what's the back look like it's probably a little shorter come on down we can't see it okay and it fits really well and you can breathe really well through that it looks like a bendito bendito so super sad sad sad examples of folks we're talking about people who just don't want to be bothered with the masks and so what not a couple of my ladies here one lady in Lone knows three people who have passed from this three people she knows and there's other people that yes everybody says hello well I mean I know it's not a surgical mask it's not an N95 come down it's frustrating when you don't when we can't see you but it keeps anything in your mouth from coming out on anybody else oh no see Esther's neighbor pass it's just been just sad story it's just so important okay are they easy to breathe through Barbara made a couple of masks and put a layer of batting in them she's a she's she can do anything though yeah well you can use an AC filter cut it up cause I'm a little anxious right now she she doesn't need to go out but she'll probably bug you until you do take her out it's sobering you guys it's just so sobering more protection I think haven't had it on for long some of them are really hard to wear so alright well now that he's home it's just heartbreaking to me you guys and you know what that's when I talk about being scared that's one of the things I'm afraid of is when it does touch me personally you know when I get a call somebody asked and these young folks thinking that they're invincible alright I'll stop I'm gonna post a video tomorrow that's of what I ate in a day it's gonna be a regular video but I love coming on and talking to you guys so here's what I'm gonna do if anybody's feeling squirrelly tomorrow and they wanna get on and talk and see if a couple of the ladies show up even if there's only five of us here
