1. I always thought that rust had a big part to play in obtaining a tetanus shot after a cut, but I recently found out that it's a bacteria which doesn't require rust to be present.
Apparently, rust encourages bacteria to thrive and so they are more prevalent there, but it isn't the actual culprit.
2. I'm feeling really sad that my bonsai tree is dying. I've had it for a year now and recently it has dropped over half it's leaves and the rest are all wilted looking. I believe I may have watered it too much.
3. There are now over 700 deaths attributed to the Coronavirus and climbing. This is heartbreaking.
4. I'm feeling so happy because I'm buying food at a restaurant tonight and no grocery shopping involved. Let future Rhonda deal with that tomorrow.
5. God is a good, good Father and I'm so happy He loves me. Romans 8:31-32.
I didn't mean for this discussion to be sad at all, just a few things I learned or had happened to me.

Perhaps you can save your little tree. Un pot it, trim any rotten roots and give it fresh dry soil. Tetanus is a living organism, a bacteria, as you say. Any puncture wound should make you look into a tetanus booster shot. There are still more people dying of the flu than of the Corona virus, and we should all stay home when we are sick, cover our mouths when we cough and sneeze and wash our hands frequently. I hope you enjoy the restaurant. Romans 8 is my favorite chapter in the Bible.

Let future Rhonda deal with a lot of things but remember that future Rhonda will be thankful to you for the things that you do today.

I know, because now I'm shaking my head at past Rhonda, but somehow past Rhonda doesn't care at all.

Poor bonsai tree. I wish they would get a handle on that virus. Your discussion was fine.

Interesting...
By chance, you don't have a photo of your Bonsai tree when it was healthy, do you? And would you be so kind as to share it with us, please?
Thank you.

@misunderstood_zombie Oh yum! I love Panera. You're right, it is pricey but good and I like the atmosphere there

I had Panara Bread, a favorite treat of mine. It's kind of expensive for fast food, so I don't buy it often.

We never stop learning over our lifetime. Interesting fun fact about tetanus. A day without cooking how nice. Found this interesting quote from Einstein. I hope he does not mean literally dying

I am sorry that your bonsai is dying.
Besides all what is happening in the world, we have a good, good Father who loves us soooo much. As a proof of this love is John 3:16 right?
