8/3/20, WTF??
Hi Everyone,
How’s it going? If you’re in the US, the Covid 19 numbers have been very scary. (I watch them carefully every day, reporting on all the countries around the world, and the countries and cities where I have loved ones) Hopefully, it has hit its peak in the US, and things will start to improve now. I sure hope so!!! I’ve given up trying to make plans and am just waiting it out. I hope that by now everyone is wearing a mask!!! In France last week, they recommended that everyone wear one outdoors too. The image of Ernie from Sesame Street kind of sums up how I feel sometimes, and a lot of us do. WHAT happened? How did this bomb hit us so fast!!! The image of Ernie made me smile—it certainly says it all!!!
In France, everyone has gone somewhere on vacation, to the South of France, Provence, Italy or Spain. People are moving around, so hopefully that won’t raise the Covid numbers again. Europe is really doing well for the most part, except for some surges in Spain. No one wants to get confined again, so hopefully they’re following the rules wherever they are!! Or we’ll all pay the price for it in a few weeks. I hope not!!
Summer vacations are a law in France, and a habit that’s hard to break. By law, people get a 5 week vacation, usually in July and August, and most people seem to prefer August. (Whereas in the US, people spread their vacations out all year, which is better for business).So in France the whole country migrates to somewhere, mostly in August. I have to admit, it makes me wonder this year. It always brings business in France to a total halt in August. Everything is closed (stores, restaurants, offices), businesses don’t function. Some businesses leave one person to answer phones, but most dont even do that. The whole country hangs out a sign “Gone Fishing”. But this year in particular, with the economy hard hit, most businesses were closed for confinement in March, April, and half of May—-and now, they are all on vacation, for another month or two. And since business is slow right now, with no foreign tourists to support many industries, a lot of people left a couple of weeks early, and they plan to take every moment of their annual vacation, so from July 15 till September 1st this year, the country is shut down. That can’t be good for business, and is bound to hurt the economy. France is full of charm, and the quality of life is wonderful, which makes it so appealing to be here, but maybe this year, vacations should have been shorter no longer??!!! The streets of Paris are empty, especially without tourists, and business is at a standstill.
One thing I am really impressed by—–EVERYWHERE!!! How creative and enterprising people have been in the pandemic, and in confinement. I’ve seen fantastic art projects, one of my kids has been making 3D puzzles, my youngest daughter just started a tie-dyed shirt business in confinement in California, and the shirts are gorgeous!!! (See my Instagram). Another daughter had never gardened before, and planted a vegetable garden—the vegetables are fantastic and look like works of art, one of my sons planted a really beautiful herb garden, one son in law has a passion and a talent for cooking, he’s been taking lessons in the pandemic, and the photographs of the food he’s making are gorgeous and look delicious. People are discovering new talents, and discovering new pleasures while trying to stay calm, be patient, and soothe their jangled nerves. I’ve been working on five different books, as I often do, I haven’t stopped writing since the pandemic started. It helps me stay busy, and fills the days while I wait to see my kids again, and keeps business as usual for my publishers and readers, and myself. Friends have become more precious, and out of confinement now, seeing them means more than ever. Other friends who have worked hard and missed time with their kids have gotten to know their kids better than ever before, confined with them, and enjoying special times that might never have happened otherwise. Time has stopped. We have had to reboot our lives, and start again. We have had to learn patience, how to fill our time creatively, develop new ways to work, deepen our relationships, question ourselves about what matters most to us. We have had to face disappointments and loss. One of my daughters has had the huge disappointment of postponing her long awaited wedding twice, a smaller family version several times, and will now have to wait for the big originally planned wedding till next year—-all of which has been very trying. It is as though a big hand clamped down on the world’s clock, and said “Stop!!!” And there are even greater concerns, about our own health, the health and safety of our loved ones, and in some cases the loss of loved ones. But even for families and people who have not suffered the loss of relatives or friends, the changes have been enormous, and the concerns many. How to keep our children safe, worries about finances and jobs. Everyone has been affected, no one’s life is unchanged or untouched. It makes us grateful for the good things, the good times, the good people in our lives, and more aware of what is most precious to us. Some friends have been disappointing, others have been amazing. Some marriages have ended, the cracks in them more obvious in the crisis, and in those cases where a dead relationship has dragged on, maybe best for it to finally end and get a fresh start in life. Other relationships have started or grown deeper. People have fallen in love, maybe faster than they would have otherwise, like in wartime, everything is magnified, the good and the bad. Babies have been conceived. Good things have happened, not just bad. It reminds me of the French saying, “Un mal pour un bien”, good things that result from a bad thing.
I think we’re all learning lessons that some of us needed. Maybe there was no other way to learn those lessons except for time to stop, and it has. Like a movie on pause, suddenly everything stops….and eventually, the film will continue, the players will move again, the story will conclude. We can’t fast forward this film. It’s real life, but once life starts rolling again, I think we will each take away lessons that we needed and can use, and memories that will be precious to us. And hats off to those who are making the best of it. We’re all doing the best we can. And at times, it is definitely a “WTF” experience, of how did THIS happen. But we’re living, we’re learning, and I hope and believe that some good things will come of it in the end!!! It is a great deal like a war, with all the extremes that go with it, and the camaraderie of sharing it, and protecting those we love. And we’ll have a LOT to tell our grandchildren one day!!!
Have a GREAT week!!! I think that’s possible, even during these challenging times!!!
love, Danielle

You are cute, Danielle.

I had a much needed laugh that felt healing.

This game brings a great sense of fun and i’m loving every minute of it.. Sí, solo uno de los casinos tiene ese juego, y sí, hace unos dos años estaba jugando en el casino Cosmo. Estaba jugando a la dulce bonanza. Pensé que estaba apostando 1,25 cuando en realidad aposté $125. Por suerte, acerté en el juego de los huesos en mi primer golpe. Luego, cuando vi lo grande que estaba ganando, no lo creí, entonces pensé que estaba jugando por diversión, gané $23,000 y este año gané $13,000 en julio y luego dos veces gané $5000, ya sabes, las ganancias vienen en tres o el dinero sigue. dinero eso es lo que dicen. ¡Sí! En Sweet Bonanza 1000 Pragmatic Play te da la opción de doblar tus opciones de conseguir una ronda de giros gratis bonificados con la opción Ante Bet, o comprar directamente el bono Sweet Bonanza 1000 en versión normal (X100) o en versión súper (X500).

It’s time to tear off the band-aid and get a glimpse of how deep the NAT rabbit hole goes. Aviatrix supports damn near every possible scenario where NAT is a factor; I’m going to show two real-world scenarios where the native cloud would fail utterly at offering a solution, but where Aviatrix makes it simple (well, simpler). This is a packet walk so we’ll be going deep into the traffic flows, but lets start by simply setting up the scenarios. Calling all cloud enthusiasts! Join us in exploring Aviatrix, the cloud networking experts on a mission to simplify cloud networking.

Tragedy är fantastiska. Men vill man ha prima mörk, mörk punk, så är Acursed’s ”Tunneln i ljusets slut” bland det bästa man kan hitta. Hospitalet träffar jävligt rätt med incestlåten ”Blodsband” på deras senaste skiva. Men det är självklart mer råpunk än crust, om man är skitnödig. Vad jag vill säga är att Acursed (svenskt band, för övrigt) har en nerv direkt till det mörkaste som finns, utan att göra skitnödig punk, som en del av de hårdare banden gör. För övrigt tycker jag Tragedy’s ”Vengeance” är bland de bästa crustskivorna som gjorts. Free shipping parcels (within Sweden) are sent with DHL. Culinary marriages made in heaven seem to be transcultural to a large extent. It is fascinating to find that so many people agree on what goes well together. Duck and orange. Garlic and parsley. Ginger and pork. Coffee and thyme (just kidding!).

Everything published made a great deal of sense.
But, think about this, what if you added a little information? I ain’t saying your
content isn’t solid., however suppose you added a post title that makes people desire more?
I mean daniellesteel.net : 8/3/20, WTF?? – daniellesteel.net is a
little boring. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create
article headlines to get viewers to click. You might add a video or a related
pic or two to get readers excited about what you’ve written.
Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
