Post apocalyptic blues? Not me.

Degrees of predictability abound.


... 


Divorce filings are skyrocketing from quarantine-weary and financially stressed couples, according to top matrimonial attorneys, who are experiencing a 50 percent rise in inquiries from potential clients.

According to leading Manhattan family-law experts, some couples forced to spend time together while quarantined in cramped apartments or even in palatial pads haven’t fared well during the coronavirus outbreak.


Making matters worse, dramatic sways in the financial markets will further spur a wave of wealthy divorces, because richer spouses may decide they want out while their net worth dips — potentially helping them avoid larger settlements, legal experts say.

NYC power divorce attorney William D. Zabel, a founding partner of Schulte Roth & Zabel, told Page Six, “We’ve had an increased amount of calls in the past week from people seeking representation for divorce proceedings, a 50 percent increase, and I have been hearing the same from my colleagues at other firms.”

Wildwood teenager arrested in attack 
that inflicted pair of black eyes 


THE VILLAGES NEWS (MARCH 22) - A Wildwood teen has been arrested in an attack that inflicted a pair of black eyes.

Amonshay Deon James, 19, was booked Wednesday at the Sumter County Detention Center on a felony charge of aggravated battery. Bond was set at $12,000.

James was identified in a photo lineup as one of a trio of suspects who on March 9 barged into a home in the 400 block of Terry Street, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department. A female at the house suffered  “severely blackened eyes.” James was reportedly accompanied by a woman and a man.

James said she had received a call telling her that her cousin was involved in a fight. James claimed she went there to break up the fight.

Florida Governor to New Yorkers: 'Stay the fuck home'

FL National Guard greets NYC fliers with this message: ‘Isolate yourself for 14 days’


This guy is wildly popular here in Florida - for good reasons.

DeSantis’ Tuesday order requires that anyone traveling from New York City to Florida or who has traveled from New York City in the last three weeks must self-isolate and report the contacts they’ve had with anyone in the state. Violating the order is a second-degree misdemeanor, and could result in a $500 fine or 60 days in jail

“After the stay-at-home, shelter-in-place order was issued, you started having a flood out of New York City, taking hundreds of flights to the state of Florida,” DeSantis said during a press conference in the Capitol in Tallahassee. “Those flights became the hottest ticket ... It is mostly South Florida, but we saw 30-40 flights direct to Orlando.”

Members of the Florida National Guard were deployed at Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, where they collected information from visitors coming off flights from New York City, including an address for the residence in which they will be self-isolating. Those visitors will receive advice on how to self-isolate and contact numbers for county health departments in case they become symptomatic.

Eventually, this practice will be expanded to other airports, DeSantis said.

NJ man who coughed on Wegmans worker to face charges of terroristic threats, governor says 


New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Tuesday chided a man facing charges for allegedly coughing on a grocery store employee and then claiming he contracted the coronavirus.

Murphy, a Democrat, said George Falcone, 50, was charged with terroristic threats, harassment and obstruction, NJ.com reported. The alleged incident happened at the Wegmans grocery store chain's location in Manalapan, some 50 miles south of New York City.

“There are knuckleheads out there. We see them and we are enforcing behavior," Murphy said during a news briefing.

... 

CBS News poll taken late last month found that 65 percent of Americans and more than a third of Democrats believed that Trump would win reelection. 


The release on Friday of an ABC News/Ipsos poll indicating that 55 percent of Americans approved of Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus—12 points higher than the previous week—prompted another round of fatalistic chatter in certain quarters of the political establishment. 

Shocked by Trump’s victory in 2016, some left-leaning commentators and rank-and-file Democrats alike have been steeling themselves for his reelection in 2020, noting that most presidents win second terms; that, at least before the pandemic, the economy was humming along; and more recently that, during moments of national disaster, Americans tend to rally around the leader they have.

How To Make Chemical-Free 
Disinfecting Wipes 


Make your own disinfecting wipes right at home. You’ll know what goes in them so you’ll know what’s really cleaning up your home. With only a few ingredients, all of which you can pronounce easily, these wipes can be made to order.

First, pick out your favorite, cleansing essential oils (EO). Lemon, tea tree, grapefruit, and lavender are all great choices. Each has its own array of antiseptic and antibacterial properties, but lemon and grapefruit are recommended for their awesome smell.

Lemon Smells Clean
Now that you’ve got your favorite EOs assembled, you’re ready to start making your own disinfecting wipes. Get started:

What You Need
An old t-shirt or other soft cloth cut into squares
Glass storage container –  a 1-quart mason jar works well
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
10 – 15 drops essential oils (Lemon, Tea Tree, Thieves, Grapefruit, Lavender are great options)

Steps
– Mix the water, vinegar, and essential oils together in a tub, bucket, or bowl.

– Put your t-shirt squares into your container. You can fold them in nicely or just stuff them in.

– Next, pour your water/ vinegar mixture in the container and make sure the cloths are evenly covered. Give the container a shake to make sure all the cloths are soaked in the mixture.

– Store the jar in a cool, dark place. Make sure it has a lid and is covered.
