Greetings from Nova Scotia

Hello dear WW community, How are you faring during these unprecedented and in some ways surreal times? I have happily, so far escaped the dreaded virus but not Lyme disease. Unfortunately Lyme is particularly prevalent on the eastern seaboard and is in epidemic proportions in Nova Scotia. This is the second time in five years that I have been “ticked”. Happily there are antibiotics which I am taking and right now I am resting comfortably at home so I thought I would share with you how things are in my community and the adaptations that we are having to make. The Maritime provinces population of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, have suffered less than other provinces. Apart from a serious outbreak in a seniors residence where there were 54 deaths there have been six other death in the province since the new year. Numbers of documented carriers of the virus have been zero or in numbers below five for several weeks now. On Friday of this week restaurants and bars with restructured seating will open again as will hair salons, shops and other service industries. A professional haircut will be welcome by me as will spending time with my friends. We will continue social distancing, no hugging or hand shaking allowed. We can again go to beaches, parks and can gather up to ten people - while practicing social distancing. children are not allowed on children’s playgrounds and day care centres are not yet open. Schools will not open until September. If we travel to another Province we have to quarantine for two weeks on arrival in that Province before we can go into public spaces and again when returning home we have to quarantine for two weeks. As you can imagine not many people are travelling out of their Province and of course this greatly affects tourism. Nova Scotia has a large hospitality industry which is greatly dependent on tourism. This year will be a very lean year relying on residents to stay within Province to support the industry. LUNENBURG, where I live is a UNESCO heritage town which attracts many international visitors and the smaller cruise ships. None of this will be happening this year because of the quarantining regulations and the closed border between the U.S. and Canada. The border is supposed to be opened at the end of June. However, the two week quarantining rules are not conducive to a two week vacation. There are many Americans who have second homes here who may not come this year. In my community there are many cultural events particularly in the summer like three music festivals, one film festival, and many individual concerts as well as theatre performances. All of which have understandably , but sadly been cancelled, Fund raising for these organizations Is difficult this year. The enforced economic coma that businesses have experienced is not conducive to making donations. Personally, I have had a silver lining in all of this turmoil. My son his Chilean wife and almost two year old son have come to stay in LUNENBURG for four months to escape the virus in South America. I am having great fun spending time with the little guy and his parents. In the absence of the usual distractions we have spent time together playing, cooking and sitting in front of the fire contemplating life. So where did I manage to pick up the dreaded ticks. I am renovating a house on an island only fifteen minutes from my house. I guess when working outside I have not been careful enough to cover up. On the warmer days to be wearing boots and being covered up from head to toe - so to speak, is not that appealing. Appealing or not, I have again learned the hard way that this needs to be done. My goodness I have chattered a lot. I wish that you all stay well and have a safe and pleasurable summer.

A General Answer to a Specific Question
by whisperingwaters.social＠mailman3-lists.com 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

Salutations; The Social Forum has been in existence for about two months now and it's nice to see the number of people who are taking an interest. As you may recall, the Social Forum was developed to ensure that mostly positive and supportive and modest stories or events are published. It was initially established that the two Social Committee chairs were and are authorized to moderate submissions. The chairs receive email notifications that a submission to the forum has been received that requires their attention. That means that, if in their opinion, the submission is or can be considered negative or insulting, then it would be rejected and not approved for publishing. Otherwise, it's approved and released for publishing to the entire WW list. The forum list is completely separate from the WW owners list and owners can subscribe or unsubscribe from the forum list without affecting the main WW business email list. As it turns out at this point in time, the two chairs have requested that I perform the actual computer work, typically after they have viewed and approved the submission, but not necessarily if their software is not conveniently able to display mp4 files, for example. IOW, sometimes I am left to my own discretion. To get the system going smoothly, a number of people have sent (and still do) me their suggestions, then I clean them up, removing extraneous forwarding residual effects, etc, and submit the item on their behalf. No specific mention of the source of the story might apply in some cases, per their request because they don't want the credit or for some other reason. As it relates the recent pool story, the article was generated by Joanne, but from information provided from various sources, and it was not signed to avoid stepping on the many contributors. So much as some might like to know the source, sometimes for the greater good, the source may be omitted. In any case, it's a great 'good news' story for Whispering Waters. So now that everyone understands the positive goals and supportive objectives of this Social Forum, we hope that more folks will join in to become prolific and encouraging contributors as well:-). Best Regards, Dave Wilson Social Forum Helper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Boudreaux's note for context: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hey, Folks -- whoever you are: Can you please tell me -- who receives e-mails sent to whisperingwaters.social(a)mailman3-lists.com? If we submit a joke or else anything to that address, does someone review it before forwarding it to the community? If so, who is authorized to do the review. Also, when you send out items like the report on pool party, it would be nice to know who wrote it. I'm not fond about us forwarding anonymous e-mails. It would be good if items like this were signed. (I assume the pool party story was written by Joe J.?) Thanks, Paul B.

We also learned some birthdays of WW owners Cindy Topher in B5-U2 Emily Cox B1-5 and Randy Schmidt B2-U3 have birthdays on June 3rd and realized they were born one hour apart.

Mostly for the women!!!

*/Mostly for the women!!!/* One morning a husband returns to the cabin after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap . Although not familiar with the lake, his wife decides to take the boat out, since it is such a beautiful day. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book. Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, " Good morning, Ma'am, what are you doing?" "Reading a book," she replies , (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?") " You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her " I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading." " Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to write you up a ticket and you'll have to pay a fine." "For reading a book,?" she replies. " You're in a Restricted Fishing Area ," he informs her again ." "But officer, I'm not fishing, I'm reading." " Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to write you up a ticket and you'll have to pay a fine." " If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman." "But I haven't even touched you," says the Game Warden . " That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment." "Have a nice day ma'am," and he immediately departed. // */MORAL:/* /Never argue with a woman who reads./ /It's likely she can also think./
