cabin fever is setting in
I HAD to go to the post office, which BTW was deserted,
to pick up a parcel. most of us inside were without masks or
gloves but remained 6' apart.
I'm still not sure if we needed to react, as a country, as we have?
but, I do know for certain our relationship with CHINESE MERCHANDISE is forever changed.
we now know most of our medications
were manufactured there !!
WHAT !!! ???
after the dog food crisis !!!
I will look at every single label from now on to make
certain we are buying American.
I cook chicken for my doggie. And, his dry food
Blue is made in the USA.
Are you guys changing anything?
What do you think?
And, are you WELL ????
love to all

IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE HARD MARSHA!
ReplyDeleteSo much we buy is made in China - while drying our pasta bowels last evening I looked at the bottom and said to Bob, "Look, even our 'Italian' china was made in China!
Medicine situation is really scary - food processing ridiculous - imagine, we send live pigs to China to be killed, processed and than shipped back here! Thank God I'm a non-meat eater! Even Green Giant frozen veggies are processed in China they say - we need to look at everything we pick up in every category of goods. Imagine all those clothes made in N. Italy by the 300,000 imported Chinese workers - leaves me dumbstruck! Fashion takes on a whole new meaning, like why do we even need/want it after this terrible pandemic - we need to take a serious look at so many things once this is over!
Yes, days are difficult but I have to admit I'm enjoying having extra time in the garden - I would have a real problem without it right now (did you take a look at my flowers?). We shopped yesterday for food - wore our masks and gloves but I still felt nervous - especially when we got to the checkout and the guy didn't have a mask!
We are well thanks, hope we stay that way!
Hang in their dear friend.
Hugs - Mary
I read your blog in the last days and think that all your sayings is very antagonistic. In these times we should't think or act in this way. Certainly you should support and buy American merchandise but I dont wish you the day you will possibly say thank you for a Chinese mask.
ReplyDeleteYou really should question your attitude.
The Chinese-made masks were deemed "not usable" by government agencies in several countries. I have masks anyway and I'm sharing them & boxes of gloves we had on hand. Personally, for me alone, there will be no more MADE IN CHINA merchandise/food coming into my home. At this time, the economy of our country & many others is suffering horribly. We need to SHOP SMALL, support our local businesses in every single way we can. Going forward, I will maintain a watchful eye on what, exactly, the Chinese government FINALLY says about this virus. I'm not meaning to be antagonistic. I'm stating facts for which I, personally, advocate. Certainly, I always appreciate your visit and comments.
DeleteAgree with you. This is so blown out of porportion, in my opinion. There is a lot of agreement and disagreement across social media. But I know that the deep state causing this pandemic was trying to hurt POTUS, cut our social activities and Trumps rallies....it won't work. We will see RED in November, meanwhile Trump has more to do. Save the children and keep us safe from the deep state red flags. Love your blog and look forward to it every time you post! HUGS
ReplyDeleteIt's time we all faced the fact that the Chinese government, (and please note that I am speaking of the Chinese government, not the Chinese people), steals our intellectual property, manipulates their currency, have never played fairly or by the rules, and now are threatening to withhold necessary drugs and medications to the US. They have allowed a virus to infect the world because of what? They don't want to acknowledge that it originated at a wet market in their country? I don't trust them as far as I could throw a stick. I blame our government and elected officials for allowing things to get this far, and for letting us become so dependent upon them. We've known for a long time now how the Chinese government behaves, and we have let them get away with it. How much longer are we and the rest of the world going to put up with it? I don't see anything antagonistic about what Marsha said. I think she is absolutely correct.
ReplyDeleteI have objected to the Chinese being so embedded in the American economy for a long time- they have never pretended to like America. shame on the past Administrations for ignoring this fact, and have kept handing over America. For the past few years, when I learned this was happening, I became very wary of what was going on, now it is in the open, that our Drugs are made there and in other countries, very little Drugs are being made in America! Astonishing that it has been so hidden? Who and why? Most likely money was exchanged to somebody or bodies, that have sold America to the enemy. Trump has shined a bright light and I pray that he will continue to dig into the garbage heap that previous Admins have covered up? I agree with Lisa! Time to speak out is now!
