I sent an AW message to Launderess on 4/22 asking her to respond if she could, as several here were concerned about her absence. This was when Sarah’s thread in the green forum went up. Have not heard back from her. Messaged her initially in late March and received a prompt response that all was well with her.
She has mentioned in the past that absences from AW were due to being very busy with work; could be true now, as well. Sometimes we just have to hope for the best and wait to hear... | ||

Hell All
Gee it's nice to know one has so many friends out there.
Life (if you can call it that) in NYC at the moment is rather like WWII Europe I suppose. Each day brings ever more restrictions on what one can do, when it can be done and how. Simple things like shopping are now a major effort as finding everything in one spot rarely happens. Sugar, yeast, flour, toilet paper, various frozen veggies are hard to come by unless one hits a particular shop at right time. Final insult came early last week with a mandate that all persons going outdoors must dress like the Masked Avenger (wear face covering) in particular going to shops, banks, or anyplace else. It really is all just too bad, thought hasn't crossed our minds but local suicide rates are increasing. Can understand why, it's either being cooped up indoors or going out dressed like something out of Ali Babba and his Forty Thieves. | ||

When one says things are bit like the war, am not joking.
Thanks to social distancing rules shops are only allowing certain number of persons inside at a time. Places have created markers on sidewalks indicating six feet distance apart.

Suicides.... who ever knows what is going through the mind of some poor tormented soul contemplating checking out of this world. But can only guess many people are either overwhelmed from what they've seen past several weeks, or all this social isolation is praying upon their minds. There is of course real financial worries as literally thousands of persons have been out of work for over a month now thanks to stay at home orders.

Laundress, please don't do that again, stay in touch!!!! Was so worried about you. The social isolation is preying upon many, this isn't normal times, and I think it's here for the long haul. It gets old. So glad to hear from you, has truly brightened my day. You stay safe and keep your chin up, remember...we are all in this together. Barry | ||

Priorities are really rather odd in NY at the moment.
All parades beginnning with Saint Patrick's last February and including Gay Pride in June have been canceled. Indeed it doesn't seem as if any parades will be allowed for remainder of year. However mayor is saying the annual Macy's big fireworks do will go on as usual, how does that work? Needless to say anyone or thing connected with tourism or entertainment are in very bad ways. Many for instance had big plans for this years Gay pride month as it was 50th anniversary of that march. If bars and other venues are still closed (as they likely will), there won't be any money for anyone I shouldn't wonder. Even if places are allowed to open if social distancing rules remain in effect it pretty much will come down to why bother. Am thinking city will be nearly empty this summer, more than usual. There just isn't any reason to remain or come here for those that have options. People will remain in the country or at the shore. Of course no one will likely be flying here internationally or even perhaps nationwide. Many restaurants opened this week, and more have plans to do so next. These places could have remained open long as they practiced social distancing/delivery or take out only, but many chose to close last month. Now they are coming back in hopes of making some money instead of nothing I suppose. That plus reality of new normal likely means things won't be going back to way they used to be anytime soon. Guess new motto is a twist on that old British motto "Export or die". Except in this instance it is "take-away or die". As of interest likely to much of this group (hahaha) laundromats and dry cleaners.... Most largely closed last month for various reasons even if deemed able to continue work as "essential". Places that were open operated with shortened hours. Local laundromat for instance was normally open from 7AM to 9PM M-F with last wash at 730PM. They went to 730AM to 730PM with last wash at 630PM during height of crisis. Don't know about weekend hours but think they remained same which were already shorter than weekday. Thing is many of these places are staffed and or owned by Asians (mostly Chinese and Korean) and sadly any business in that boat has been given stink eye by many since this crisis broke. Young lad who is the main attendant along with his various helpers (they take it in turns closing and opening) are all Asians and you want to feel so sorry for what they are going through. They have to work or else.... Any who this laundromat has resorted to leaving both front and back doors open along with running fans to promote air circulation. Thing is on chilly days we had many of the past several weeks it was like standing in a wind tunnel. Passed a few persons one knows from area doing their wash standing outside. Besides social distancing most said they stood outdoors because it was warmer than inside . *LOL* Walking around have noticed many dry cleaners/laundromats are planning to reopen May 4th or some time next week. How much good it will do them in our area I don't know as many households have long packed up and moved to the country. From reading local online media many New York inhabitants went out and bought portable washing machines and or are making other arrangements. They are fearful of being in cramped spaces that are most NYC laundromats (in Manhattan anyway, those elsewhere in city often are a bit more spacious), and or simply of having people they don't know or trust doing their wash. It never bothered them before they didn't know where those who did their wash had been, now suddenly it is an issue. | ||

this in relation to the pandemic reply from Laundress above; I saw an instagram post yesterday by a male nurse, asking for us all to be thankful for them, and all first responders. A reply said he got thanked every time he got a paycheck, so stop whining. Unbelievable some people are that ignorant. | ||

Unbelievable some people are that ignorant. And appalling that they are so ungrateful!
These medical care workers are not only putting their lives on the line every time they care for a COVID-19 victim, they put their loved ones lives on the line when they return home, not knowing they too are now infected and will then pass the virus on to their family members.
Even during normal times its an insult to tell any public servant that their paycheck is their “thanks”.

A few months' mandated work at testing tents, in hospitals, clinics, with EMS teams and in meat processing plants will provide a reality-based bitch-slap to their attitudes real quick. This post was last edited 05/02/2020 at 10:08 | ||

"Thanks to social distancing rules shops are only allowing certain number of persons inside at a time. Places have created markers on sidewalks indicating six feet distance apart."
Pretty much the same here in California. Supermarkets and grocery store have the six feet distance tapes on the floors before checkout. Even Home Depot. The markets may also meter access through the front door, although so far I've only seen that at Costco, where people have thronged to hoard basics like TP. It's clearly more of a challenge to social distance in a vertical city like Manhattan. But New Yorkers seem to be a determined lot who meet spatial challenges with aplomb. | ||
