Again be weary of the Conspiracy nutters out there. Some are saying "There is no virus" , just ignore them , just ask anyone working in the medical profession or on the front line and they will tell you there most certainly is a virus and its killing people . the same conspiracy people will tell you not to take a vaccine when it does come available even if it saves your life .

facetime for Nana was an excellent idea . nursing home residents miss having visitors and are bored stiff especially in nursing homes that have the Coronavirus , the residents must stay in their rooms most of the time . also well done to all the medical staff returning to ireland to help out , to everyone on the front line well done and keep up the good work.

Thank You for this wonderful reminder, Ivaus. My mother often spoke these words: One night I dreamed a dream. As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord. After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially

Thank You Ivaus. I am in total agreement with your assessment of the efficiency (or lack of) regarding the EU. Like all such unions and indeed as you suggested dictatorships, they control All including the meat in sausages, the way we purchase, how we purchase and so on. However, when the chips are down and actual real help & advice is badly needed guess what? No actual help for Italy and Spain.
