Hi Friends and fellow classmates.....
I am glad to see Cathy Morris Rhoades got onto the site and has checked in with her info. Welcome, welcome. Sorry you had some trouble getting through the first times on the site, you made it through it.
Peggy, love, so sorry to read about your loss. I think of you often sweet friend.
Thank you so much, Marianne, for stepping up to take on the chairpersonship of the 2021 (55-year reunion). I know the event will be super.
Sorry, I have had some laptop challenges....grrrrr. Lovely Windows updates automatically now and through those updates it has managed to wipe out an older email file, which I know is "somewhere" on the C/Drive....but I cannot find the danged thing. So, I changed to my other email and have been generating new files on my 2nd laptop. I have discovered as I have aged that I can NOT multi-task....nope, out of the question....the brain can do well to handle one techno issue.
I am more than sure folks are beyond "ticked off," to put it nicely, in the wake of trying to get essential items are the stores. I am trying not to get on my soap box...but, you all know me, I am pretty unfiltered and mouthy when it comes to goings on in our world. I am semi-quaranteed. Not because I have anything medically going on, but because I have a challenged immune-system. I can't risk exposing myself to this pandemic. I have a very sweet and compassionate neighber here in out senior community who goes to the grocery for me from time to time. I tell this because not only is she wheel chair confined, SHE shops for me. Just astounding to me. We have a short list of items needed, and of course that list included TP. For 2 days she has waited in long lines, gone back and forth between the local grocery (HEB) and super Walmart. Only stores here in town. So she has come back with Zip....Zero....Zilcho...no surprise, but she has tried. So, today I told her I will go on line and do a search. Of course, Amazon is eliminated because they are providing medical type supplies only. On line Walmart....notices that say, "Purchase IN STORE only!!" Sooooo, I scroll down to possibly other options....and lo and behold...I discover you can purchase toiles paper on eBay!!! After I throw a tantrum like a three year would throw, I search further about trying to get the wet wipe types. Yep, zero, also. SO our options for purchasing TP_is to buy from eBay from people who have hoarded massive amounts leaving those who need it with none???!!! What part of WRONG dont I understand....no need to answer that. I will get down off my soapbox when you give me my walker.
I surely welcome you're comments and inputs. Stay healthy and be kind. We can do this, after all we are a resiliant bunch.
Love N Hugs from Mardi Gonyea Nicklin
