It seems that all the Indian Scam Call centres ( You know, the ones that ring up and say they're Microsoft and have discovered faults on your computer ) must all have closed down too ... not had a scammer call in months now !

Go on, you're sure also to have found a silver lining ...

cheers

That is very good. banana

I haven't been getting any scam calls from any that used to leave messages.


The mail has dwindled way down too, just bills and election stuff now.

The sky is clear at night.

There is no noise from cars.

I met my neighbors - from a distance - who are walking their dogs.

My mail has slowed way down, because of my zip code, I usually get plenty of advertising. I can watch the mailman go down the road... somedays he doesn't even stop... laugh
And, the usual 8 am - 5 pm traffic, is almost gone, I like that. My life really hasn't changed that much, except grocery shopping.
I'm sick of hearing about virus's... that this is the new normal, I don't watch much tv, sports are gone, thats what I watched, so I just watch the local news.
There will be a lot of small business's go under, a pizza place in town closed down, it had been open for 29 years...

I don't hear sirens on police cars which is a good thing

Gas price is usually around $3.35. Now it's $1.80 a gallon another good thing

Strangers smile and acknowledge each other from a distance.
Lots of volunteer groups have set up to help the vulnerable and lonely.
There really is a feeling that we are all in this together.

The quiet roads and streets are an added bonus.

lotsa folks are digging deeper, under the fear, and finding compassion for each other. folks are thinking about what is important, and many are changing their priorities.

there's only 2 choices:
love or fear.
choose wisely

mostly, i enjoy not having a to-do list, and just living my life as it's happening.
i feel a sense of quiet and calm..... i enjoy the solitude.
i have lots more time to meditate.

Well, I had four things to do to improve my house. The biggest job is done now, Today will finish my bedroom, tomorrow or monday my bathroom.
Then the kitchen, but will let it be done by a carpenter.

So the lock down isn't to bad for me
