What are you doing to pass time during “Stay at Home” ?

Stay at home equals to working from home for me. I feel like I am busier now that I am working from home.

Me too! Trying to stay afloat my students is time consuming as they aren't adhering to the school hours to do their work, so I am corresponding with them at odd times. All. Day. Long.

I did very poorly on the Paul Rudd Quiz. Just awful! :lol:

Lol. Students are unpredictable.

what is the paul rudd’s quiz?
 
@missy I think the secret must be more sinister than that. My guess is that he made a deal with the devil. :lol:

@elle_71125 I swear, he could have a lucrative career selling beauty products. I’d buy whatever creams he uses!

@Slick1 it’s really hard to tell in some of those photos! If it weren’t for the poor resolution of older images, I would’ve scored lower.

@joelly let us know if you take it!

Haha my dh's friends all say that about him. He's 61 and a half and IRL he definitely looks in his 40s not 60s and every time he sees friends from college or high school they go on and on and on...I start feeling a little bit left out but then again I didn't make a deal with the devil... :evil2: bwahahaha.

How, HOW can that man be 61.5??? If they remade Clueless, he could reprise his role.

No lol sorry I was unclear. Paul Rudd is only 51. My DH is 61. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh LOL ok, I feel better now. But still, Paul Rudd does not look 51!
 
I am going to do some simple cross stitch soon.
Drew a rainbow cross stitch design using Excel as the one I bought is a bit small.
Need to get the bits and pieces for it.
I shall also start making the Christmas cards for this year when one of the major components arrive later this month, and the design will involve a lot of work.
These are on top of practicing my clarinet. I am very pleased to have upgraded from my cheapo instrument to a professional one about a month before lockdown, as the latter is so much better in many ways, and a joy to play.

DK :))

Oooooo - cool! What did you get as your new one? I'm contemplating replacing my old, desperately-in-need-of-an-overhaul Selmer Series 10......

For me, I'm working on flute chops. I've been a professional performing on clarinet, sax, oboe, and English horn for 40 years, but hadn't previously played flute because I was told in my undergrad years that I had "bad lips for flute" and not to waste my time on it. Turns out I just needed to figure out how to work with my particular set of lips, and due to changes in how the shows I typically play for are being orchestrated, I really need to get flute performance-ready if I want to keep getting jobs. So, that's my big focus currently.
 
Thanks @elle_71125 I am more than happy to share the love and if you are interested I would be thrilled to give you Oliver and Gracie.8) It is quite a handful having these 2 in addition to our special needs Tommy and Bobby. Oy to the vey. I think this is it for cats for me. Not kidding. I love them but I am too old for this. Gracie and Oliver would eat like a horse if I let them. And the second I give them food they ravenously swallow it whole. Like they haven't eaten just a little while before. I mean if I don't move my hands fast enough they would eat those too. #rationingthemNOT

And please, do let me know if you want them. Though I did give Jimmianne first dibs. Yoohoo @Jimmianne please don't forget your promise...
:cheeky:


They are sweet though. When they aren't eating. :lol:

I'd get in line for that sweet lil' Gracie - she's got me wrapped around those little white toes! :love:
 
I got 17/20..I think it’s because I have two adult sons...

She is like sugar. She wraps herself around my neck when we go to sleep. We had to sleep with the AC on last night because she is a little heater and around my neck really makes me warm lol.


ETA: Here's a video of her kneading. Watch for the paws at the end...just for you.
She is so darn cute.

I could hug the person that started the distraction/ meme thread! On really bad days it has made me giggle.
I’ve also been enjoying the free jewellery seminars put in by gem x club https://www.gemx.club/
You can sign up to the lectures here and on their Instagram. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow’s lecture by Simon Teakle who sells some amazing antique jewellery and will be speaking about his experiences in the jewellery world.
Was also thinking of doing an online diamond course with GIA, but still undecided
 
@OboeGal I bought a Yamaha 650, an entry professional one, as I thought I should not go overboard in case I am no good.

DK :))

Nice! Yamaha is on my list to try. The principal clarinetist of the local phil, who is also the clarinet prof at the local university, is an enthusiastic Yamaha artist and endorser.

We're in! just let us know where and when and we will be there (as soon as this pandemic is over and we are able to g-d willing). You said the magic word. Pizza!
 
Lol that should keep you busy @Dancing Fire

They are gorgeous!!!!!

Do you have many kids of your own?

The reason I ask is because hubby and I have one but we always joke about what we would do if DS went on to have multiple kids. We've only ever cared for one and it's a pretty sweet gig! What to do with a few at the same time???
 
Cooking and homeschooling.

They eat a loooot! All day they eat since DS is on school holidays and hubby is working from home.

My ex neighbor who has four kids has to go grocery shopping every second day.

On that note... Off to make pulled pork!
 
That is so funny! I never saw a cat on a leash before!

Yup he loves to explore but is a scaredy cat. I live in an apartment so it’s not like I can let him out into a yard. I have a harness for him but it’s too small so for now it’s a leash on his break away collar. The only problem is if he panics and really tries to bolt the collar breaks off lol. So we are only taking hallway walks for now (i think my neighbors are sheltering in place elsewhere so it’s quiet). Once his bigger harness comes we are gonna try to go for outside walks!
