Self-Quarantine or Hunkering Down

[@evancortez2]

Good to see you again Paul! You and Bev stay safe and take care :)

[@Realunitedstates]

Thanks 👍

[@folkertdegraaf9350]

Thank you for the update.

[@Realunitedstates]

My pleasure. I suppose I should have gotten to it earlier, but this was just a very laid=back winter.

[@terryboyer1342]

I really have noticed you and Beverlys absence and was concerned! As they say in Georgia here "Been a minute!" So glad to have you back! Gardening, canning vids would be great!

[@Realunitedstates]

Gardening as such will still be a couple of months off here, but it would be nice to make some videos about it.

[@terryboyer1342]

@@Realunitedstates Cherry trees bloomed here in February. Blossoms are gone now. We're in the 80s already.

[@Realunitedstates]

Wow. Well, it has been unseasonably warm this winter, and we are expecting spring to be early and mild. Sadly this year we will miss the Cherry Blossom Festival in DC, largely because it was for all intents and purposes been canceled.

Hi Paul and Bev - good to see you back on YT

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you. Circumstances this winter just have been such that we have remained pretty close to home and didn't really have much to video.

[@DeDe-iq3ts]

So good to hear from you, missed your postings and videos.

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you. It has been nice to have a bit of a break, and I just haven't had any good ideas for content in a while. Maybe that will change soon.

[@30roundz]

Good to see u!

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you. Just wanted to let everyone know we are well and safe.

[@tyrantking456]

You're back! I was wondering how you were doing. Glad to see you and Beverly are doing well!

[@Realunitedstates]

Well, we are checking in at least. I am not sure at this point when I will have another video, or what it may be about. But, yes, we are well and safe, and largely life is good.

[@munarong]

So glad to see you back! Paul. I'm on social distancing by default for long time, so my life is pretty much the same. It's just a few things I have to be more aware of than usual are to avoid going into a crowded area, sanitation and follow the news more closely, in case of if things were gone worse. I think living in rural or far from big cities could be better atmosphere because I've been seeing some people here where I live are somewhat starting to panic due to news and stuff. Hope you and your family are doing well. Stay safe and healthy. Take care. 💪✌👍🙂

[@Realunitedstates]

Hey Narong! Great to hear from you. I've seen you have been diligent about your English language videos. I wish I had your dedication to become better at a second language. I believe you are correct, that living in a rural area is probably better/easier. There is an inherent stress that happens to all living things as population densities increase, and that stress is exacerbated (made worse) by the constant bombardment of news on how bad things are or how bad it could become. Stay safe and stay calm my friend. we are well.

[@munarong]

@@Realunitedstates Thank you for the compliment. Yes you're right about my English language videos. It became one of my goal as to be able to speak English fluently, so I do whatever I can to achieve that. It seems like figuring out life and learning English (with a flaw learning systematic) didn't go along very well, lots of struggle. No worries, I'll roll with the punches. Cheers! 😁

[@StaySi]

So happy to see a notification from your channel!

[@Realunitedstates]

Happy to hear that!

[@christinacw621]

As you know, I'm a tiny bit younger than you. But I still have to make sure my pantry and freezer (& linen closet) are stocked, as a general rule. I like canning and love making jam. Perhaps, it's a family thing? Glad to see y'all are doing well. Love you. 😊

[@Realunitedstates]

Well, yes, it is to a large degree a family thing, so I understand. And it is so kind that you say you are only "a tiny bit younger". :-) Yes, I forgot to mention the jam, which we make in mass quantities. We also make and can our own stocks. It's one of those things that is fun for us to do, and practical at the same time. Hope you're doing great and staying safe and well. Love you too.

[@Franker991]

God bless you and USA

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you.

[@emsparamedic5183]

Good to see you Paul. Have a peaceful weekend and be well.

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you! Hope you're doing well. We are in fact having a great weekend thus far. Making a small, but complete, turkey dinner with all the trimmings today.

[@goaly97]

Welcome back. I've missed you guys!!!

[@Realunitedstates]

Thanks. It has been a long time. Largely this winter I just haven't felt motivated about making content.

[@MississippiWildlife]

Ghost town here in places, Y'all stay safe :) Good ta' see ya on the tubes ))

[@Realunitedstates]

Hey Jeff, I've seen the photos and video you've posted, and yeah, it looks like a ghost town. Hang in there, things are bound to turn around. Just look after the folks and yourself!

[@Vika-se5mc]

Finally great to see you!

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you.

[@sbrazwell42]

We have the empty shelves in virginia.. Table by the window is such a good feeling.. glad you both are well.

[@Realunitedstates]

I am sorry to hear that, but I have heard similar reports from friends in Maryland. I haven't been out in a week, so I don't know what the shelves look like here, but by all reports they are sill empty. I believe the supply of goods will remain relatively constant, so as the panic demand subsides they shelves will fill again.

[@sbrazwell42]

@@Realunitedstates We hope so..as soon as i saw the window i wanted corn bread with no toilet paper.. I dont think i will challenge the natural method but just maybe the old fashioned box variety..any brand will do..

[@mkbuser]

What a relief, I've been wondering how you and Beverly have been. So glad to see a new video. I'm hunkered down too and going stir crazy, social distancing. LOL Stay safe. Gotta ask, what's that in the pans on the wood stove beside you?

[@Realunitedstates]

Not going stir crazy because we have so many things to do at home. So many I may never get them all done. The pans next to me just contain water. They are there to keep moisture in the air, and what you see around the rim is just calcium left from evaporation. Glad you enjoyed the video. Didn't mean to worry anybody, just did have anything inspire me enough to make a video about in a while. LOL!

[@Ahuntsicspotter]

Welcome back because you haven't upload a video for a while for a long time I thought you were dead.

[@Realunitedstates]

LOL! Well, although a fate that awaits us all, thus far just no new video.
