The self-isolation does have some bright spots. I'm still on the lookout for bad spelling and grammar and found plenty of it this week. Who knew "quarantine" was so hard to spell?
Aargh!!

Friday FUN
You know that life has changed when you get excited over finding toilet paper in the stores. I did just that this week, and they actually had my usual brand. I only bought one pack because we have some on hand already. I have a pattern for surgical masks but need elastic for the ear pieces, and that's coming from Amazon in a month or so (would you believe from China).

When I saw your title "Friday Fun" I thought OMG Hermoine's school board is doing the letter a day thing........ LOL
Re the quarantine spelling........ I can't believe how often I stop typing to think is it 'q' or 'g' (le sigh) maybe by the time this is all over quarantine will flow off my fingers as quickly as Friday Fun :) :)
Geniuses like these are prime candidates for making caustic homemade hand sanitizers, wearing hard-to-get masks below their nose, and self-medicating with aquarium cleaner. Perhaps people who say 'corn teen' should be cornholed with something large and abrasive?
Stay safe. Keep protecting yourself.......and the language.
I'm the worlds worst speller, hands down. But even I know how to say, "Hey Siri, how do you spell quarantine."
It took me awhile to spell quarantine,but now my phone knows it so that helps. On another note, a friend of mine is also making masks and having trouble with getting the elastic. On a recommendation of a family member, I went and bought some head bands, the thin ones the girls are wearing now. They are the perfect size and one headband per mask. I was able to fine them quite cheap and the friend is back in business making the masks. Hope this hint helps.
"Corn teen"?? *facepalm* We're doomed, I tell ya. If the covid-19 doesn't get us, the stupid will.
Yeah, I was thrilled when I found toilet paper and antibacterial wipes last week. I did have to go to the store at the ungodly hour of 7 a.m.!!
Cornteen or corn of tee...seriously? Well I hadn't heard that before. I'm actually regretting not getting my hair cut before quarantine! LoL

Corteen, seriously. Yeah I found toilet paper yesterday and like Roz, I wished I'd gt my hair cut before the quarantine.
Love,
Ronnie

We had toilet paper back in the shops a while ago now. As for getting my hair cut, I am finally seeing an up side to MPB :)

While "stuck" in quarantine, I saw a movie where they talked about the origin of the word "quarantine". Seems it came from, of all places, Venice! During the Middle Ages, all ships entering their port had to anchor for 40 days! This was to make certain that no crew member showed symptoms of bubonic plague. Thus 40 in early Italian is the root for our word quarantine. Seems back then people really took the concept of quarantine very seriously, but then again... one out of three died from the plague.
Covid-19 be like - "I to much smart too be infecting people that stupid."

Morningstar - Social distancing is easier to spell, although maybe not quite as effective.
KDPierre - That came to mind :)
PK - You have to wonder how these people sound when they speak.
Erica - There's a very good chance the stupids will win this one.
Roz - I don't cut mine so no worries there.
Ronnie - Ron just had a haircut before the restrictions so I have a month to look up on Youtube how to cut his hair.
Prefectdt - Looking on the bright side again, I see!
Tiredny - How very interesting. Thank you for sharing that.
Wendel - I'm with you on that one.
Stay safe!

Anon - Thank you for the tip. I'll look into that.
My wife made masks for us out of bedsheets that were ripped. The bottom sheet has elastic in them and that is what she used along with a double layer of the sheet. Hey it works.
as for spelling and grammar, our education system has failed this country. But we can blow the world up many times over. priorities stink.
