psychological effects of isolation
So, while in this isolation state that most of us are sharing, have you had any epiphanies? Any newly discovered purpose for your life? Any thoughts you feel are worth sharing? Anything you think may be meaningful to anyone else?Me....I just got back into playing Spades. :)
...been thinking though.
Happy isolation all...stay safe.

I'd probably crack up if I were in China or Spain.
But my own experience is, I'm loving it.
Sure, there are disadvantages, the main one being able to meet people I care about at close quarters. I hate the fact that people are sick and dying. I am hating the uncertainty of how long it will last.
But apart from that, I am loving not having to go into work every day.
I am loving not being tied to a schedule.
I am loving taking the dogs for a walk when I feel like it.
I am loving having time to tidy up the garden with a view to planting veg shortly.
I am loving most things about it really.
Miss being able to go to the library to get books.
Not being able to go where I want to go.
Thinking too about the sick and dying people everywhere and as Molly said; Not knowing when this will end
You too healthy Johnny.................

Stay safe over there.
Hopefully we don't have long left, but I don't think we will be totally out of the woods until a vaccine is discovered...and even after that, who knows.
It is a shame gas is going down so low in price and a person cannot enjoy it. I suppose, saving more money not driving at all.
take care Jenny
your blog did remind me of the classic movie, "Breakfast At Epiphanies" starring Audrey Hepburn.
take care....and stay safe.
Actuallly,what prompted me was the fact that I am just sitting around here....not doing anything all that productive....thinking....how is life going to change for me/for all perhaps....and how can I make myself more useful given this new environment. Thus....I was trying to steal somebody else's idea (if they happen to have posted one here).
I got a new repice for my Repice Cook Book.
Darn auto-correct, it doesn't know how to spell correctly. Sheesh!
You're rejecting my idea for Granola Bran Bars? Gee, that's what my ex-GF would do. Put down everything I do. And then, and then, and then, she'd want me to eat her home cooking, after she'd wipe her sweaty armpits while making sandwiches for us.
with My Chiropractor/Massage Lady, because of the keep away 6 feet, she called me today because for now she's only doing her work by phone. My shoulder that was kind of out of place, feels better now that she talked to me.
I met a lady the other day. Don't know what her face looks like with the mask on, but she said she wanted to take to her apartment so we can do a 96.. instead of a 69.
I asked her, "How does a 96 work?
She answered, "In a 96, we face away from each other."
What the heck?
I am not sure the procedure my friend had. I am sure Jac was right...he was probably not being safe. But who knows....if you can be healed with a phone call.
you should have warned them, that those jello things tasted like they were made using water from a toilet.
How could I warn them....the bartender was standing right there....you cannot be rude in front on her.
Some guy came out of a hotel restroom and said, 'Hey, check it out! They have a short drinking fountain in that restroom." Later, he found out it was a Bidet.
Why do people who use Bidets always have a wet spot on the behind of their pants?
from all happy and smiling and glowing face to...whoa...things just got serious here.
you ever do the drinking beer through a hose with a funnel at a party?
That's crazy.. isn't it? Maybe?
it's like Bidding on something at auction.
No, it's a water fountain like stream that shoots out of a toilet to clean rear ends after they're done doing potty.
I worry, if bidets might stream water to the inside of a person. Then it would be like, when we were kids, my friends would drink too much water out of a slow water hose, and then they'd shake their stomach, we'd put our ear to it, and hear all the water slushing around in there.
People could get a beer belly , but with water, and water going in through the bottom, instead of through the mouth.
I told one lady, she and I should play Wet T-shirt Contest. She asked, "How does that benefit me?"
I just grinned.
and if we do find a woman to have romantic wrestling action with on this site. Right away, she tells me afterwards, "Don't go blogging about what happened here tonight. Alright? When we're on the blogs, I don't know you, and you don't know me. Okay?"
Stay safe over there friend....take care.
and
good night
I sthink she was trying to give you a hint... maybe she likes you.. you know what I mean.
As for me, naah, I don't even think of romantic wrestling these days.. Nope, too busy doing nothing here.
take care....chat soon.
thanks for the fun, and to you and everyone on here, Stay Safe, Take Care.
Got up early morning here feeling exhausted from work but am okay...had 2days sick leave then back to work
As isolation and quarantine measures continue, monotony and boredom will likely set in.
This can obviously help fill time and provide stimulation. However, variety is important, and it might also be helpful to engage in other creative pursuits and hobbies that can be done on your own
Where possible, building exercise into a routine is also an effective way of counteracting feelings of monotony and boredom and reducing feelings of stress.
The way it sounds, there might be an end in sight...well, hopefully a safe one anyway.
Take care.
do you happen to have a pillow with Johnny's picture silk-screened on it?
I heard something like that, or did I read about it in the Tabloid magazine, The Enkwirerer?
That is a great tip....working in some exercise.
I read were you were exposed...hopefully you did not catch the virus. I see where doing lung exercises is highly recommended. It is nice you are getting some time off to rest up.
Stay safe.
