    What does that mean? I seem to recall you work in a prison, or are a prison officer or something? What does visiting people in police custody entail?
    If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?

    This is separate from the day job and is voluntary. We are called custody visitors, members of the public who are vetted and trained by police, to make sure people who have been arrested have had their rights and indepently check the police. We go in pairs and visit at whatever time we like.

    Never found anything too great, one person still had his mobile in the cell when he should have had it convescated as he could have made calls interfering with his case, a police officer had taken someone's cash but generally nothing too major.

    Anyone can apply and you visit your local police station.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I've contacted all my elderly friends and made sure they know they can call me if they need anything. So far I've helped one neighbor with her yard. I've gotten groceries and fixed the internet connection for another elderly neighbor. My wife has organized safe social distancing activities for the kids in our neighborhood and those things have helped morale.

    Really have to keep in contact with our older folks as isolation can lead to depression in a lot of cases and nonstop news watching can also lead to anxiety and depression as everything is "OMG the worst ever!"


    I've been doing these things so much I've not even started my garden yet. Gotta do that soon, perhaps this weekend.

    I gotta say I was walking into work today and I heard a car beeping profusely. I figured it was one of the old residents but when I turned around it was a car with a couple females I didn’t know. They hopped out of the car grabbing bags of colorful shit. Anyway turns out they brought us all kinds of masks. They actually made them on one of those 3D printing machines. They have this space for replaceable filters. They are a little bulky and they make you look like Darth Vader but damn what a nice thing for these girls to do. Then they whipped out a large plastic bags full of cloth masks they sewed by hand. They just starting doing this and are going around to all the health centers and hospitals giving them away. They are very well made. Actually came at a good time as we were scrounging again. Sometimes these negative events bring out the good in people. If I gave you one of the cloth masks to hold you would see they put some time into it. And the 3D printed ones have two pieces that snap together and they are sturdy. These girls are making shitloads for hospitals and other such places and giving them away. They could be selling these things online. I’d put up pics for u but this antiquated site doesn’t mix well with iPhones. Now I’m going to be a dick and take a couple masks to bring home for my wife.

    what a waste, should have asked them to print guns
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
