My sense of humor curve has indeed been hammered and flattened, like I hope all the infection rates will soon be. After trying to get out of bed this morn on the wrong side.... and smacking my head on the wall... at 3 am (not really) , I opened up my computer for a little cheerfulness, but clicked on the wrong things again... that drove me back to my blessed state of repose till the sun arose. I should avoid writing on first impulse and usually don't. Decent writing requires timely reflection, consideration and empathy...... and it ain't a gittin' any easier in these (.... are the times that try men's souls ) days.

"Oh ! No !, OHNO....... Please, please...... Pleeeaaase......Don't go ! We neeed you, honey. Truuuuly we do." LOL Its time for the 4 year old bata babae who is trapped here with us, to sit on my knee at the computer and watch something we both find humorous and entertaining....... 1930's Betty Boop cartoons. Boop-boop-a-doop ! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 In my city, those caught breaking curfew/quarantine rules were made to sit in a public area for a period of time as a punishment. I got this from my wife and details were sketchy t.b.h. - did it even happen I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off subject maybe But.......................................... They tried to cover it up by saying the police were out rounding up stray dogs and the kids were breaking curfew as well as being difficult so they transported them back in a cage on wheels towed behind a car. I dont believe they would be rounding up stray dogs at the time. https://www.philstar.com/nation/2020/03/21/2002637/barangay-captain-faces-raps-locking-curfew-violators-dog-cage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, i had stolen it from someone else on FB, I wonder how they didn't get banned. Edited April 5, 2020 by Heeb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
