Sports / recreation / movies / hotels / gatherings etc.

^....all gone.

So I'm living online while physically searching the stores for rubbing alcohol. I did score bigly on paper towels -
AND THEY ARE BRAWNY..so that pretty made my saturday night. it was quite a thrill!

Publix gets shipment sometime today, and I'm gonna try to score some Isopropyl alcohol.
After work (online) I'll cave in (online) and settle into an extreme ennui for the next month

Make sure to buy the 91% isopropyl :cool:
You can buy a pack of 3 big sprayer bottles at dollar stores as well.
I love using the hydrogen peroxide for the kitchen because it's also great for
spraying on and rinsing veggies and fruits to clean them.

Soap and Water
Just the friction from scrubbing with soap and water can break the coronavirus’s protective envelope. “Scrub like you’ve got sticky stuff on the surface and you really need to get it off,” says Richard Sachleben, an organic chemist and member of the American Chemical Society. Discard the towel or leave it in a bowl of soapy water for a while to destroy any virus particles that may have survived.

Bleach
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a diluted bleach solution (⅓ cup bleach per 1 gallon of water or 4 teaspoons bleach per 1 quart of water) for virus disinfection. Wear gloves while using bleach, and never mix it with amonia or anything, in fact, except water. (The only exception is when doing laundry with detergent.)

“Bleach works great against viruses,” Sachleben says. Just don’t keep the solution for longer than a few days because bleach will degrade certain plastic containers.

Bleach can also corrode metal over time, so Sachleben recommends that people not get into the habit of cleaning their faucets and stainless steel products with it. Because bleach is harsh for many countertops as well, you should rinse surfaces with water after disinfecting to prevent discoloration or damage to the surface.

Isopropyl Alcohol
Alcohol solutions with at least 70 percent alcohol are effective against coronavirus. Do not dilute the alcohol solution. Alcohol is generally safe for all surfaces but can discolor some plastics, Sachleben says.

Hydrogen Peroxide
According to the CDC, household (3 percent) hydrogen peroxide is effective in deactivating rhinovirus, the virus that causes the common cold, within 6 to 8 minutes of exposure. Rhinovirus is more difficult to destroy than coronaviruses, so hydrogen peroxide should be able to break down coronavirus in less time. Pour it undiluted into a spray bottle and spray it on the surface to be cleaned, but let it sit on the surface for several minutes.

Hydrogen peroxide is not corrosive, so it’s okay to use it on metal surfaces. But similar to bleach, it can discolor fabrics if you accidentally get in on your clothes. “It’s great for getting into hard-to-reach crevices,” Sachleben says. “You can pour it on the area and you don’t have to wipe it off because it essentially decomposes into oxygen and water.”

During the current pandemic being a couch potato is what the experts advise.

True, if you're old.
If under 70, maybe bag up a few paper products and cleaning/sanitizing products and hang it on the
door(s) of some nearby elderly person's home(s) late at night and walk away so they don't see who did it. :cool:

that's SO helpful, Stretch! great tips! thnx
 
Was planning on watching The Players Championship , instead caught a true story golf movie, Tommy's Honor , on the Golf Channel. Good movie based on the book so I bought the book. Just finished chapter 2 and it's fascinating about the life of Old Tom Morris and his son Tommy.
Also playing my piano more every day.
Hmmm. Reading books, playing music. Getting back to basics and low tech is fun and less mindless.
that's a healthy retirement routine Moose. unplug and play!
 
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......I love peace :medit:

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have
tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.
John 16: 33

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment,
and the one who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because He first loved us.
1 John 4: 18-19
 
An excellent recommendation. How long have you been practicing Buddhist mediation?
look at my username..but if you are serious I've studied comparative religions all my life.
you might find this interesting

Dukkha is more than suffering.

You dodged the question and simply bragged about your studies of comparative religions. That's fine. Your choice.

Good luck with your studies.

thanks. no need to be prickish about every little thing either. I'm not bragging.
But for me to tell you "how long have I been bhodi" ( practicioner) would not be of particular interest to you.

Suffice to say my meditation skills have always been more difficult then my practice of the Noble Path itself.
(even though they are intertwined)
I'm sure you don't want to hear anymore -or you can hit up that topic thread i posted and i'll discuss it there

:thumbsup: Compassion and love for all are the unifiers of Buddhism and Christianity

Excellent advice. Have you ever considered taking it?

The fact remains you talk a lot and do little. People either are what they are or only what they claim to be. While I do not doubt you are a "practitioner" of Buddhism, obviously you are more Buddhist in talk than being.

Elsewhere on this forum, or other forums, people can see people who claim to be Christians but then their posts do not depict Christian ways. An oft used excuse is "We're all sinners", which is true, but then the person committing that sin doesn't do a fucking thing to become more Christian hence, like you and Buddhism, they talk a lot and do little.

Best of luck to you. I do think you can find happiness on the Noble Path, but I guarantee you that lashing out at everyone for every perceived slight is not on that path. You are obviously young, probably 20s-30s. Keep working on it, sir. :)

ROLF assume much? If you think my admonishment is "lashing out"
then you haven't been on message boards long as you claim.

Your attitude has been prickish needlessly unpleasant, rude and annoying.

I called you out on your "moderation" because I have yet to see any moderate political posts of yours.

When I politely told you that the years of practice were probably boring to you after your previous prickish response and ad homs you attacked again . this is all after dodging my previous posts salient points.

Quite frankly I see very little in the way of you offering anything of value on this thread-
just the usual Trump bashing

LOL.. so now you claim to know that I "do little" in the way of the Path,
and just jawbone it without actual deeds.

Your assumptions are off base and unsupported. your style is needlessly prickish,
You've dodged the points I brought up earlier in favor of yet more ad homs.
You offer nothing. that much is manifest without any assumptions

QED. Thanks for proving my point. I don't need to "know" anything about you when you post the evidence yourself.
 
ROFL.. "you got nothing" but prickish mannerisms.
You lack an ability to debate, and deflect to your ad homs..oh but you do have that "moderation!" :rolleyes:

Thanks again for proving how "Noble" you are, how big of a Bodhi you are and, of course, how full of Dukkha you are.

Please consider this a learning moment instead of lashing out in childish anger. No more than a Master smacking a student's rump with a stick when they are acting foolish.
 
I guess you'd have to know my name first :)...there's only a few people here who know that, however;) And they asked...it was provided. They looked up the certification...and there it was... I have no reason to lie...
(It's been there for quite a few years....same page as my parents credentials...;)
We should bet on this;)

they were janitors also?

worthless fortune cookie talk. attempts at cleverness backed by nothing there.

what Chinese call "Big Wind sound thru an empty vessel -is a loud noise signifying nothing"

Finally! Something I'm sure everyone can agree you are obviously an expert upon.

The fact remains, you talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. Sad.
