You’re doing the right thing by keeping yourself safe. My son in law came round today and he made me laugh by shouting “stay back!” as he got out the car. We did keep our distance though. Xxxx
They use the phone, email, letter writing. It’s all at their own expense. They are doing what they feel is kindness to their neighbors. If ones aren’t interested it’s quite easy to politely say I’m not interested or I have my own religion. They really aren’t their to annoy.
Maricopa, I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, as is my daughter and 2 of my grandsons. Also many of my friends. Our lives are based on the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is why we show love not just for one another, but for our neighbours too. 🌺
We are all doing fine. Isolated. The bros are taking excellent care and bring us everything we could need. Dropping it off outside on our porch. How are you managing the self distancing?
Like wise we have cancelled or postponed all visist by friends to our home and our visits to thiers. My wife leaves to shop where ever she can find what we need and other wise we stay indors. As the weather gets warmer we will go out in the car and park up by the sea with a flask of coffee but that will be it until furh notice.
The sad thing about self-isolation is that at a time when the elderly (and young alike) most need comfort and a friendly face, we have to turn away. No hugs, no cuddles, no warm embrace. Our dear Queen has exhorted all of us to work as "one"! Fat chance of that! Need my vital space, don't you? (I know I am being a bit sarcastic here).
Seriously though, first, I love and admire the Queen. She has weathered so much throughout her long and productive life and been an example and inspiration to us all. Secondly, it seems, that everywhere you turn, it is each man for himself. Buut what else can the likes of us do! Like you bobbyfloyd (sounds like body fluid!) I am not in a hurry to clog up a bed in ICU. God bless you all. Stay safe. Keep well! xxxx
I have not seen my grandchildren and children in the last 10 days. It is very hard but my children want us elderly to keep safe. We can only hope this will not last too long because we miss them and cannot wait to hug and kiss them again.
I too am keeping my distance from people , will talk but from a good 2 metres. In fact I knocked on a neighbours door today to make sure he is ok, still keeping my distance though x
Isolation day 4 , we are both in total isolation ,no shopping or visitors ,it's strange to say the least , got excited when next door popped her head over the fence "yey a human " she'd guessed what we were doing and stayed well back . We are so lucky ,shopping gets delivered via friends and left in the porch and we facetime the grandchildren and my brother . I don't call this being selfish, I call it being caring ,I care about not getting it and passing it to my grandchildren or any of my family . Plus side ...garden looks great and will soon be full of veg to share very soon . ..hubby works well with a spade ..who knew 😉 Stay safe folks 😘😘 xx
Thank you 😘 This is without doubt the hardest thing I've done ,it's tough relying on others for your existence..was hoping to manage with online shopping ,well that all went wrong ,no meat no milk no bread no flour no cereal ...I'm now attempting bread making and the freezer is dwindling fast ....am hoping the outside madness slows so we that are isolated can manage . It's scary but my seeds are now seedlings and I've worked out 🤞 we will be free for the start of fishing season , hubby's earnt a fishing session ..bless him 🎣 No sign of any chest infections either ,have emergency steroids and antibiotics just incase anyways ...stay positive stay safe and look after yourselves . Love n luck xx
