What a jerk. My governor announced yesterday at 5pm that the state would be shut down by 8pm until further notice. Everything except "life sustaining" services. Couldn't the jackass have done this at noon allowing people a few hours to pay a bill, get a necessity, pick up an order before everything and everyone must shut down? No. Wait until the end of day when everyone is closing. Politicians without brains really tick me off. And PA is full of them. Caregiver services are stopped and Karen has clients that NEED her there every day and rely on her to bring food and set out medications. Who will check on home bound elderly for weeks? Isn't someone wearing a mask and taking precautions a lower risk than no care or help at all? Someone with a brain should rethink this. I'm done.
Went to Walmart at 7am for the floss I needed and also to avoid crowds, neither panned out. Tons of people and no floss in the color I needed, but I did manage to finish with a strand left. They had boxes of hand sanitizer and cases of TP, even chicken. I guess if you go that early, inventory is fresh, but gone by 8am.
This bottom border is off three inches and I have no idea what happened. No matter how I count and recount, it seems everything is spaced properly except for the height discrepancy. So why is the width off by three???? Thank goodness adjustments are not noticeable on this sampler. I should complete the band tomorrow with the pink flowers and attempt to finish the over one line. We can't finish painting that room or installing crown moulding because we couldn't get what we ordered with the sudden closings.
I hope everyone is staying well and spending some time outdoors for fresh air. These guys were hunkering on the deck and enjoying the very warm day we had.
Stay safe!!
Stay safe!!

Asinine decisions by these people hell bent on destroying our economy.
The same here in the Netherlands-closing the pubs and restaurants within half an hour!
Stay save in this crazy world.
Greetings Truus from Holland
Thinking of you !
My daughter is doing the running and shopping at Walmart. She doesn't want me to go out.........
Have been enjoying my yard. Will work on it to keep my mind occupied.
Praying that this will all be over soon and we can live a some what normal life.
Hugs,
Charlotte in Va.
That move seems rather short sighted. OTOH, given the panic over toilet paper and sanitizer, then food, how much panic would there be if people knew everything would be closed in a day or two? I suspect it was a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" position to be in. Wouldn't home health care be considered life sustaining?
What floss are you needing? If DMC, I probably have some extra I can send.
What thread do you need, I am sure someone has extra. My state( R)I has not closed down completely, but the Gov says stay home. Restaurants are doing take out. Most annoying was Libraries closed without warning! My daughter lives in NH in a small village . The library building is closed but they will do curbside or even find a way to deliver. My Governor is trying to decide if bars can do take out what a jerk! Sober would be better during a crisis , I think. Vets are doing curbside pick up and drop off for pets. If we are sensible, not hoarding things we can all come through this pandemic. Be well
Good old Pa! When our group is making a statement I hope the rest of the world doesn't think we are all like that, stupid and rambling. Sadly, I have been listening to Gov. Cuomo to get some decent information. What color do you need? I live south of Pittsburgh, mail still works!
ahem, I found this today and naturally thought of you. please continue to stay safe and know that you are well-loved and respected by many

Marly dear - I have tons of floss - mostly DMC - from the old shop, so the old
quality is better....just name the colors you need whenever...Stay well and
go with God.
Our library in NJ shut down to the public without notice and without any attempt to set up curbside pickup or home delivery, especially to our elderly and homebound population. As a librarian, this makes me sick at heart. we were told to tell people who called (the library remained staffed for a week) to use digital downloads to access materials.
so, so many elderly-sounding people told us sadly that they do not have smartphones or home computers. So they are SOL. We did know ahead of time that we serve a population that has no home internet connection.
As a librarian who had no control over how our patrons were treated, you have my apologies.
That really sucks! No care for those needing it? Totally assinine.
I heard that the turnpike plazas are now open. How stupid to close them down and not allow trucks to park there.
We must take action, but let's not be totally stupid in the process.
We are shut down here too, but we got about 36 hours of notice. My son lives in your state. He is going stir crazy in his one bedroom apartment, but knows that he is safe. He sometimes goes for a walk or a solitary bike ride. I am currently substituting for my elderly mother's aide mainly because I would rather limit her exposure and I live nearby, but I know that there are many others who don't have any help and need it. I believe that home health aides are still allowed visits here. I am so sorry that your sampler has been giving you such fits. I so understand what you are going through.
WTH?! But, maybe like Gail said, it might have incited a stampede. And WTH (again) about the home aid?? Before my mum went to assisted living, she had in-home assistance... Having it terminated at the drop of a hat would have been disastrous. And speaking of my mum, I sure hope she is being properly cared for. My heart breaks for her because, obviously, they are not allowing visitors...but with her dementia, she has no idea why...and even if told, would forget in 5 minutes....can't hear well enough to talk on the phone if they would even take the phone to her.... All she knows is she is not home and her family abandoned her. WHAT?? You have green??? (Is it edible LOL??) ...seriously jealous...we are due for snow tonight. ~Robin~. (Hope you found your floss...if not, let me know what ya need...I likely have it. But dang...I am going to be needing more of 3 GA flosses for the project I just started and my online sources are sold out. I repeat...WTH?!)
