(6,797 posts)We don't go out a lot. When restaurants were open we went every now and then. But today DeSwine called for shelter in place until April 6th for now. And only essential businesses to be open so I suppose there won't be ANY restaurants open.

(2,215 posts)Happy 10th birthday to her!! My oldest grandson just turned 13 this past Thursday. It wasnt a very fun day for him to become a teenager. Since no gatherings-my daughter was going to take him and 1friend to Hocking Hills to go hiking but it was rainy and nasty so they didnt go. I sure hope you can get some yummy DQ Dairy Queen on Saturday!! (My fave is a twisty cone with sparkles!)

(6,797 posts)Same for them but he's in grad school and is waiting to see what will happen at regular schools. He had to go to a school for the semester to get experience in his field. He has his own apartment and the lease is not up until June. He says he will decide soon if he's going to stay in the there or go back on campus.

(3,812 posts)We are a rural economy based on forest products, which is not on the essential busi esses list. My conservative estimate is at least 50% unemployment starting next week. There will be tremendous hardship. It's easy to say just shut everything down. I honestly wonder if it will be worth it.

(3,268 posts)Our bold GOP governor is taking decisive action to stop this pandemic! He is banning reusable grocery bags throughout the state! Why is it anytime a republican takes action it is bad for the environment?
Too good.
