    I work in a hospital but my department has come to a grinding halt as resources have been shifted to other areas. I have enjoyed more time to read, fish, and play the guitar. The market being down has created some buying opportunities. Like OND I'm hoping our country will decrease its reliance on foreign countries for essential products and create more jobs at home.

    Gas prices are down but we can't go anywhere. Didn't our mothers tell us, years ago, to wash our hands?

    I have people too. I like to make sure I’m getting my moneys worth and have an account to play around with too.

    Hollywood, the culture they have. This virus has exposed how self important those people are and the average person is turning their back on listening to anything they say.

    I like sports on TV. Last night, watched a Mets/Atlanta game from 2001, just after the 9/11 attack. Depends on what sports you watch. I watch MLB and NCAA basketball. Our cable cut out the Golf Channel and added it to a higher priced package. We looked at a higher priced package to get several of the ESPN channels that aren't on our present package but we were also paying for other channels that we wouldn't watch. Anyone remember when you had three channels on TV?

    Gas is $1.49 a gallon. Of course I don't have anywhere to go.
