Refinery is on skeleton shifts and I'm on the list of people who stay home. First Tuesday at home in eleven years. I don't know what people do on Tuesdays.

Post what you're doing. Rules: no medical advice, no miracle cures, no "my cousin at the ministry says". Off topic means off topic.

alphabetising my tapes by year and then by mood. jolchu is in every mood lol

No football, so I'm watching an old Kara-Ak derby on a DVD my uncle burned in 2009. We lose. Even in quarantine we lose.

college closed!! they sent everyone home to the villages. for like 2 seconds i was happy. now my mum has me on the sheep every morning. this is not a holiday this is a zhayloo

Dear all, Chicago is also closed. The Association's Irad Day dinner on the 11th turned out to be the last thing we did together before everything shut, so I'm glad we had the plov.

I am calling the older members one by one with my list. Many of them are fine and some of them are bored enough to listen to me for an hour, which is new.

I've also prepared a short feedback form on how everyone here is coping. Only six questions.

Uncle, the admins are stuck at home too. They now have all the time in the world to say no to you personally.

STILL NO. STAY HOME.

My aunt's stall at Bazar-i Kalan is shut. First time since 1997. So she's making laghman at my place and there is dough on the ceiling. I've pulled enough laghman this week to reach Chicago. Uncle, open the window.

la Colonia is cooking for the old people in the blocks. tortillas left by the door, knock and walk away. if you're in Semiz and alone tell someone on your stairs (NOT here, no addresses, amigos)

Horses do not know about quarantine. They want hay at six. I am the only man in Chatkal whose schedule has not changed.

I'm watching every Talasfilm western in order of release. Day 3. I'm in 1971. Nobody call me until Desert Sun's Rebellion.

In 1992 we stayed inside two months.
No internet. Not much bread.
You have internet and pelmeni.
You will be fine. Call your old people.

Calling mine every day now, like olddog says. My mother in Kara-Buura says the village didn't notice anything except that the bus stopped. Then she said the bus was never on time anyway.

I make new page: "Irad Internet Portal: Quarantine Corner" with links to games and recipes. the recipe page is only the title for now. sorry if broken

erbol the quarantine corner link goes to the horse memorial page lol

it is also good for quarantine. very calm page

Good evening. My grandson made me this account because I am alone in the flat in Nurzhan and he is in Bishkek and he says you are "nice people, mostly".

I taught chemistry for thirty-one years. I have read the whole thread. Lena, if the dough is on the ceiling you are putting in too much water.

Kisses.

Six years on this forum and nobody has dared. Welcome. I like you already.

A Nurzhan babushka! Welcome. If anyone bothers you, I know a man with one shoe.

welcome babushka!! can you explain chemistry. online college is just my teacher's ceiling. his camera has been upside down for 3 weeks and nobody tells him

Send me the question. Not the ceiling. Kisses.

Easter at home. Watched the liturgy on IradOne instead of standing in the cathedral. My grandmother put the kümöch in front of the television so it would be blessed too. I did not argue with her. I have never once won an argument with her and I wasn't going to start at Easter.

News reaches us slowly. We are still in the winter village, not yet up to the zhayloo.

Up here distance was always the medicine. The bus doesn't come, but the bus never came. The bazaar in town is shut, so we trade with the next valley the way my grandfather did, flour for cheese, no money.

What worries me is the young men who went to Russia to work. They cannot work there now and they cannot come back. Three from our village. Their mothers walk up the hill every evening to get signal and call them. If you have someone over there, call them too.

Hello, new here. Arslanbob. The guesthouses are empty this spring, the walnut trees don't care. I started reading this forum from the beginning. Who is Ak_Shumkar and why is everyone sad about him?

Make tea. Go to the Mor-Wave board, find the Simpsons thread from August 2016. Clear your afternoon.
