Pandemic Tips

A place to gather wisdoms.

1. If you run out of toilet paper, use an old sock.

In the old days, out in the country, people used to use pages from last year's Sears catalog. But those aren't available any more, and they probably couldn't be flushed down the toilet either.

 Google peri bottle.  You can find them on Amazon 

better than an old sock

2. Set up a schedule. Include time for exercise, spirituality, relaxation, and a job.  A schedule and a job will help you maintain sanity whether you are quarantined from the Rona or buried for months in an underground mine.

I’ve taken up the trombone again. The neighbors are suffering right along with me.

I got a bidet attachment off of Amazon a few years back, it was probably the best $20 I've spent, and paid for itself.

Yes but is it hard to clean? Lots of nooks and crannies? I live with a man!

I suppose it depends on the model you get. Mine has a self cleaning function for the nozzle itself, and then I just wipe down the external apparatus with a clorox wipe whenever I clean the toilet. To me it's worth it; I will would go back to my barbarian toilet paper days under any circumstances. My wife makes fun of me for it but she secretly loves it too.

And people stayed at home
And read books
And listened
And they rested
And did exercises
And made art and played
And learned new ways of being
And stopped and listened
More deeply
Someone meditated, someone prayed
Someone met their shadow
And people began to think differently
And people healed.
And in the absence of people who
Lived in ignorant ways
Dangerous, meaningless and heartless,
The earth also began to heal
And when the danger ended and
People found themselves
They grieved for the dead
And made new choices
And dreamed of new visions
And created new ways of living
And completely healed the earth
Just as they were healed.

This text is actually a modern-day poem written during the COVID-19 coronavirus disease pandemic by author Catherine M. O’Meara. 

It is being falsely printed under the title “Poem written by Kathleen O’Mara during the 1919 pandemic.”

Someone snitched on their neighbor for going to the park. 

Millions died from the economic destruction.

Authoritarians never relinquished the rights seized from citizens. 

Small businesses were ruined, but mega-corporations continued to flourish.

A Roman Catholic priest in the Detroit area has taken aim at his parishioners in a bid to maintain social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, using a squirt gun to shoot holy water.
