And after living in other countries ourselves, we try to be more aware of the added difficulties some of our international friends face when crisis hits, so we have been in contact with them too. 

Ugh, every now and then they say something that tugs at my heart.  It’s a pleasant surprise to see him take notice of his priveledge. This is actually a very real and scary situation for international families in our country.  I teach ESOL students and I’m stressing because they don’t have access to a lot of resources at the moment.  When we left for Spring Break on Friday we had no idea that we wouldn’t be seeing our students for many weeks.  Many of the teachers in my school are kicking themselves for not sending home extra snacks and non-perishables.  

Anyway, good for Derick for acknowledging that others have it more difficult than he does during this weird time.

I'm not sure Jill and Derick understand social distancing. Everytime one of them goes out into the community they become a potential patient zero for their family. So if they're wanting to do the lotion slip and slide more frequently, they're increasing their risk of potentially infecting each other.

FFS a just threw up! 🤮

 Is it the same Jill that walked around barefoot in the hospital?

Jill made an entire video about shopping during the pandemic. Honey, we've all been there. I guess I will watch it. Not much else to do cooped up at home.

 

Her voice for seven minutes is annoying. I was annoyed actually within three minutes. She sounds kind of dumb and yet condescending at the same time.

I believe the one here in town(big ten school) is only doing online classes and canceled their spring commencement ceremonies. I can't imagine they are the only ones.

 My program has gone online only. I have three more weeks of one class, then a month-long class and then no in person graduation.  All of my clinicals are online too, so no more time with real patients. I will get my degree but it has been three years and this is all kind of annoying right at the end. I actually feel for Derreck a little bit. Only a little bit. 

( anyone want to place a wager that that globe is one of those bar globes full of various bottles of alcohol? )

The Chancellor of Derick's law school issued a directive on March 12 which among other things stated:

Quote

 

we are suspending in-person classes effective immediately and will move to an all-online or other alternative method of course delivery starting Monday, March 16th and continuing through the remainder of the semester.

To be clear, this is not a closure. 

 

Yesterday (March 18) there was another directive which among other things stated that all on-site campus activities are cancelled until further notice. 

Looks like Derick's doing classes online. I'm glad he has an office at home where he can do his classes without distractions from his family, and Jill and the boys don't have to tiptoe around because he's on his laptop.

I watched the entire video, and it was better than most of the other videos that she’s come up with.

Actually, she and the boys look really cute in that video.

If that globe is for the kids...then, Yay! At least they're learning that the world isn't flat with the Ark floating off the edge. (Yes, globes are still used in schools.)

Just FYI.....try Big Lots for TP and paper towels.....early...when they open in the morning.

I don’t recall the * info being there previously.

That's been there for quite a while.

I also wonder who challenged Jill in that swan4kids thing. It wasn't Jinger, and I suspect she was on the front lines of this. It also wasn't Jana or Erin Bates Paine, who haven't taken up the challenge.
