TET: With Great Power & All That Jazz

[Ethel mermania]

Conference call hell today. But tomorrow is a day off


Huzzah!

[The Free Joy State]

I dunno, I think it can be pulled off. You just need the confidence to lean into it.
Be like David Bowie wearing an eyepatch.

They don’t look bad, of course.

Actually, those are fairly stylish finger splints. Certainly better than some I've seen.

I could see someone rockin' those.

But are a sign that I’m older. *sob*

I know the feeling.

*offers tissues*

Apparently my church is planning to reopen. I don't know if I'm ready for that yet.

As long as they wear masks, and keep distance, you should be ok

And wash hands regularly for 20 seconds a time.

(Medically vulnerable populations, who -- in the UK, at least -- are still shielded, should stick to health agency advice about whether or not to go such places).

Stay safe. Follow health advice. Do what's best for you.

We disagree on religious issues, but I wish you all the best (and that includes wishing you stay healthy).

I'm not sure the kids will be able to do that. And I have to be with them when it reopens.

Would you like to buy some hand sanitiser made from 95% holy spirit?

"Doubting Thomas brand hand sanitizer, now with even more Holy Spirit!"

I like my church, but I don't know that the people in my church will take the restrictions seriously. So health isn't certain.

Is it antibacterial?

So, selling consecrated Corona counterfeit... For shame.

Everyone knows the only holy hand sanitiser is Carex Sinsitive .

You would be surprised, for an hour or two they seem to manage.

Baptizing with holy water? Nah, we use hand sanitizer now! Keeps out 99.9 percent of sins!

I would be shocked. The last time I saw these kids, I spent most of the time disinfecting toys they put in their mouth.

Is it a toddlers' group? That would make it a bit more difficult.

I know nurseries in the UK aren't wearing masks all the time (IIRC), but they are keeping children in very small groups and are having the children practise by putting masks on dolls and bears so that, if there's an outbreak, they'll be used to the concept and won't be frightened of masks.

Where do you get enough hand sanitizer for that?

It is. That's a pretty good idea. I'm not sure about the small groups, though. It might not work with the limited space and things like that. I would prefer if leadership asked parents to take their children if it's possible.

As long as you keep disinfecting you are good. Keep reminding them to act safely., eventually they will get with the program.

This is what UK day nurseries are doing. And here is something about the mask situation. According to this (about infection control in nurseries) masks are only advised above age three ("if they can [wear them] properly").

I thought these links might help, if you're going to be running a toddler group and are concerned about infection control.

[Hurdergaryp]

Either you are having a really long monday, or you have been temporally displaced. Quick, what year does your electronic device say it is?

Electronic device?

Yes. Computers and the way those machines are commonly called have changed wildly over the centuries.

I like the dinosaur idea. Anyway, thanks for the links. I'll have to find the best way to keep the kids safe and might contact the pastor about it as well. I think opening more classrooms on Sundays would already help.

My question is, why did you? Seems a trifle tone deaf to what's going on, don't you think?
