OMG, what a difference a few days makes to the outlook. The IRS finally fixed their website and it took my deposit info AND I received my first UI payment. Still can't get into the site. but a big improvement.
Force vs Gentle enticement
Both grandsons (12 and 9yo) came to our place in pissy moods today. They buried their heads in their devices (Chromebook and Switch). My wife’s attempts to communicate with them and lure them out of the devices was failing miserably and making all 3 of them upset and just annoying me. She was going on and on about how those devices will ruin their minds.
I finally asked my wife to just go back into the other room and get back to work (she’s working from Home, I’m laid off).
It easier to draw bees with honey than fire. Without saying a thing, I pulled out the 2 tubs of lego from the closet, and started building something across the room. Took about 10 minutes and the younger on put down his switch and came over to see what I was doing and with minutes we was totally involved. It took about 10 more minutes for his older brother 2 join.
We were there for about 3 hours. Not a single mention of their devices. After lunch the older one went back to lego and didn’t pick up his Chromebook the rest of the day.

Our master build has gone mobile. We will start with a better plan tomorrow and lay out and group all of the random lego parts first.

Lego seems to come in only kits these days. Initiated creative play with our grandsons and there are so many random parts from all of the small kits they’ve received through the years it’s hard to make something cohesive. We did have a lot of fun though.

So if a business follows the poor advice of the state or federal government and opens and their staff or customers get #COVID-19 will the government take on the potential liability?
That could be a whole lot of money.

Well, I have a job now, it’s spending all day trying to get through to Hawaii Unemployment. Have not been able to get into my account on the website for a week and all of the phone lines on every island are busy or have full voicemail.

My Grandfather had cut this out, it was in his wallet that was given to me when he passed in 1985. Means a lot today.
