      I just tried to brainstorm about this, but I came up blank. I’ve got nothing, absolutely nothing.

      After having considered your question and my possible answer to it, I could not cite any tangible helpful aspect that the virus has manifested in my life.

    Other than being able to work from home for the first time ever, my life is not much different.

    Maybe it made me a more sociable neighbor. Sometime I get so board with being home a lot I stand in the front yard hoping a neighborhood will come out so I can wave or talk to them. We're not locked down here but I hardly go out anymore. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Getting bored is better than getting infected! So Enjoy!

    Classes taken online were easier in my opinion.

    I've been living like this for years, but it hasn't necessarily helped me that much.

    After sitting around doing nothing for 2 months, I figure that I will really enjoy retirement with full enthusiasm!

    I’ve saved a lot of money in the past few months. My income was not affected by the shutdown and I have been working from home for the most part. so I’ve saved a ton on gas, picking up coffees on the way to work, going out lunches, stuff like that. Also, I haven't been spending money on clothing, social things, travel,  so my back account is looking really good lately :) My mental health isn’t the best though through this.. So I’d rather have not had the lockdown and be broke than be losing my mind lol. This post was edited by Jaimie at August 1, 2020 5:48 PM MDT

    Just remember the words when/and; then refers to time, such as when something takes place.  Than means comparing one thing to another. 


    when rhymes with then 
    and rhymes with than
