My parents were part of a welcome wagon and supper club so we always had company like that, the house would be spotless, we would be decently dressed and as he said, there was always some coffee cake, pie or crumble waiting. And it wasn’t uncommon for my dad to invite neighbors in to just talk and catch up. Mind you, he was a bit older and from the Chicago area so he probably was a bit more old fashioned than other kids’ dads my age.

Doorbell routine absolutely spot on. I grew up in the 50’s-60’s. German family. My mom always had baked cakes, especially on weekends. Friends visited a lot on Sunday afternoons or Saturday. Sanka could be offered or the electric percolator was put on. You were happy for company, especially if they had kids and you could play in the backyd or front if warm. No worries about being abducted!! Social interaction was abundant. Fast forward to the present-- eye to eye conversation all but gone at dinner time, if you even eat together. In restaurants adults and kids on phones, texting. No wonder young people can’t string a grammatically correct sentence together. It’s all abbreviations, and smart phone code. Ahhhhh! Now texting is the oral conversation of 50’s to 70’s. Social media is changing young people’s exchanging of social discourse and manners. Internet has its positives, however, I’m glad I was brought up in an era of simplicity, cherishing family, company over, and manners! I hope somehow we can return to a little of that small town life!

True call. Hysteria. Check out data from the CDC, also easily found in the DHHS web site. In the last couple of years, that's 2019-18, 34,000 Americans died of Influenza. Flu. It's a death rate of 7% out of all Americans who got it bad enough to require hospitalization, which reached the staggering number of 500,000. Total number of Americans diagnosed with the flu last winter was, brace yourself - 16.5 million! 5% of the American people were sick enough with the flu to go see a doctor. 3% of them needed hospitalization, out of that 3 %, 7% kicked the bucket. Nobody gave a rats turd about that. Btw, though I know overeating is not a physically contagious epidemic, do you know how many Americans died of Obesity? 300,000! 300K for duck's sake! But that's obesity. If you count ALL fat people who died due to constantly stuffing their faces with unhealthy quantities of food, you get 3,000,000! 3 million!!! 1% of the entire American population die each year from overeating. Corona is children play.

XmanSully, I agree with you to a certain point. They, the professionals who are experts in disease control, still do not know how it is really spreading. To be cautious is the right way to be thinking. Good hygiene is the number one practice to be implemented. Most people don’t really wash their hands. Especially in hospitals. So, even though your statistics might be right, it doesn’t change the fact that people are being infected and dying. If you survive, it might be awhile for a full recovery. To conclude my thought, media, yes I agree, they are known for pushing rumors. But, to consider this situation as a minor thought or just another contagious disease is a little on the denial side. The virus is spreading and more people are being infected everyday. I say be aware and to thank God or whatever you believe in, everyday is a blessing, to be with your loved family and friends. Today, would be a good day be thankful and laugh as much as you can.

I lost it when he said "Entenmann's" on the table!! My mom is 3rd Gen Italian American and I remember seeing Entenmann's everywhere for the brief time we lived in Chicago with all her relatives. I was too young to really understand, but once Sebastian mentioned it, I about died laughing. As a matter of fact, I can totally relate to his humor and stories now that I am an in my 40's and I look back at my childhood. Thanks Sebastian!
