Description
We must keep our priorities in mind.....
Just a bit of fun to hopefully bring a little light in these dark times...
Enjoy!
And..... A bit of encouragement...
I have an on-line friend who lives in Germany. She has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer for some time. A few years ago she was riding her bicycle, and was hit by a drunk driver. Her injuries were extremely serious, and she is still suffering the aftereffects. She has to have a dedicated home nurse to monitor and change her medications.
Her previous nurse was a mean and unprofessional person - who is no longer employed due to her caustic attitude. Worse than that, she had COVID-19. It was passed along to my friend, her family, and her present nurse.
Last week she was rushed to the hospital with the onset of the virus - the worst possible scenario for someone in her weakened condition.
Today, less than a week later, she was doing well enough to watch a livestream with another friend, chat, and pass along her considerable knowledge with Blender.
Why am I telling you this?
Because this thing CAN be beaten! And we will defeat it. Not with the "wise" (?) words of our 'leaders.' We will defeat it with our art, our refusal to give up hope, our support for one another, and just a bit of common sense. It's easy to give in to hopelessness, and desperation. I've felt it myself. But every time I feel hope starting to fade, something like the above happens, and just a little bit of light shines through the darkness. Do not lose hope! Keep creating your art, keep helping one another, and we'll come through this crisis stronger than before.
*steps down from soap-box*
Thanks for stopping by, and for all your wonderful comments and support - and for your friendships over the years! You all rock!

Excellent
PSIDog needs reprogramming... He needs to bring the legless ones' coffee home to mommy!!! For maximum efficiency, he needs to rip thier legs off after they pay for the coffee to avoid being denied the coffee at checkout. Dan must have pushed the "FINISHED" button while no one was looking for this over-site to have crept in to the Build....
Super image!
So Glad your friend is doing well!!!
Our fathers/Grandfathers were called to war. We are called to sit on the sofa! We can do this!!!!

I'm so glad your friend pulled through! And hopefully she is now immune ! I am ok for coffee but I could really use the dog for about an hour to do a chocolate and wine run :D
A Java fiend's best friend! Wondering if he helped bring in TP during that first rush?
Inspiring story about your friend. It's going to be a very rough road ahead, but we humans are up to the challenge. Thanks, Rod.

This is a very motivating post, Big Bro! Hope you will post more similar to this. I also like how the girls have shared their own thoughts on what's currently happening right now.
