Thoughts Triggered in Just Two Minutes on Facebook

Image
There was a post from Joh pleading for his family with an attachment for gofundme.   Both Corey and Joh are aware that it is a hard time for everybody and raising money has been an issue for everyone towards one cause or another and probably struggling themselves.   I reposted his gofundme plea along with my own words that his mom and I share the same birthday.   I was able to enjoy eating cake and playing games.   She could not.   She has been in the hospital for two weeks.           The next post I saw was a mother and a son spending time in an amusement park enjoying themselves while social distancing.   They were on a ride in the air.   The ride itself offers a large space between each “lift”   -   my first thought was, “Yes, there’s an essential – to open the amusement parks” but I did not leave my snarky comment.   Outdoor activities seem like they are less risky than indoor.

Second Card sent Local It said: "So grateful you moved into our ward We're so glad that you're here." Third one was from my cousin. She had sent it to the wrong address But our former neighbor forwarded it. Forth card was to me from the school Fifth card - no return address and no signature.   Just a thought to wish Merry Christmas and a gift card which Roland wanted to use for food storage. He thinks war is coming. Our Nation's President has offended many people. Roland drove us to Grants Pass It was my second time being there since we moved to Oregon. We splurged on food.   The machine told us that we would need a pin for our gift card We might still be able to use it for placing orders online. But I don't know. Roland ...
