Well, I have the old 3-D printer working regularly; but for some reason, my regular printer/copier/scanner won't communicate with my 'puter. Going to have to un/re-install the thing, looks like.

No cases of coronavirus have been reported in our area, but the Catholic schools have shut down for at least a week while the schools are cleaned and disinfected to try and safeguard the students. Courageous decision given this is the season when Christian churches are preparing for Easter and generally very busy and parochial schools use this time to focus attention of the students on matters of faith..

Wow, that escalated quickly. News release yesterday:

This afternoon, the Governor [of Maryland] announced additional steps regarding efforts to slow the transmission of the Coronavirus. Those actions include (1) closing Maryland schools starting on Monday, March 16th for two weeks so that all schools can be cleaned and disinfected; (2) banning gatherings of over 250 people; (3) closing senior citizen activity centers, and (4) closing the cruising port at the Port of Baltimore.

I'm off for a couple weeks. Sending you all air kisses from a minimum of 6 ft away.

It's gud to seez you, Lilith! We done missed you! Welcome home to Pixies.

My daughter ended up in the ER in the very wee hours of this morning, due to chest pains which turned out, fortunately, to be nothing more than severe anxiety symptoms.

Yeah, even in the fact of global pandemic, there are numerous health issues in the world.

We'll keep her in our prayers anyway. Glad she's okay.

She's made a follow-up visit to the cardiologist, so she's taking the right steps, at least.

Good for her. We'll keep up the prayers!

;)

The same to you, Rabbit. :D

Interesting. Thanks for sharing the URL.

Well, today is the 60th anniversary of my wife and my meeting on a blind date. Double dated to a movie with my best high-school friend the week before and when my date then injured her foot she didn't feel like she could go out the following week, so my friend's date said she thought her neighbor and best friend might be able to go. Well, she did and she became my wife 3 years later in June. Still married with 7 children, 3 married with families of their own. Four still single. Nine grand-children and 2 great-grand-children. :) Couldn't ask for anything more.

Congratulation my friend. :cheers:

With all the realities of life, you and your bride are becoming more of a treasured idol than ever before.
