I know that sounds daft, but its a lot to take in, especially with is being literally world-wide.Sometimes (and as bad as it sounds) we have to laugh too.   One of my friends sent  to me the other week ...<img src="https://scontent-man2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/265411011_1876070505929579_8176892201621956351_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=q3zKwuqXJ74AX9nVYrM&_nc_ht=scontent-man2-1.xx&oh=99f311e854bfe8bc741753b46c8ed4f9&oe=61BB934C" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 450px" /><img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_hehe_100-102.gif?w=145&h=150"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle    :giggle:" data-shortname=":giggle:" />You have the best customers ever! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" />I hope those friendly notes acted as a good distraction from what you were personally going through.  A disaster ... am I right in calling the pandemic a disaster?  ...  anyway, a disaster often brings out the best in many people.Changing the subject and I hope you don't mind me mentioning this, we have had it on our news about the  Tornados hitting the US right now, its shocking and terrifying to see the destruction they're causing,  I feel for all those who have lost their homes or worse their lives.  I so hope it stops soon and that you're all safe over there.</blockquote>
