Sorry. The links haven't copied properly but all of this should be relatively easy to find and all the sites that can do this...for free.

Here's a link to the Smithsonian National Zoo Webcams: https://nationalzoo.si.edu/webcams

And here's the link to the Cheetah Cub cam where a mama Cheetah recently gave birth to four cubs: https://nationalzoo.si.edu/webcams/cheetah-cub-cam

It's pretty quiet over there right now.

Virtually Tour 500+ Museums and Galleries
By Emily Price

Social distancing means that we’re all spending a lot more time at home, canceling or rescheduling vacations, and probably not going out to things like movies and museums. Staying at home doesn’t mean you can’t experience a little travel, and maybe a little culture, from your home computer.

Google Arts & Culture has a collection of more the 500 different museums and galleries up on its site that you can visit virtually. Clicking through to each one will bring up images of some of the museum or gallery’s collection, and in some cases full virtual tours of the museum you can take to pretend like, in a way, you’re actually there.

You can check out the full (massive) list of included galleries and museums. The list defaults to listing some of the most popular options first, but you can also sort them in alphabetic order or look at where they all are on a map.

Drive up to the WH (close as possible ) and hand in a note that you want to be repaid for travel and hotel expenses like all those people that were there on Sunday.

Collette, your post was reported. As per the creator of this thread: "This thread was created to help those that are struggling during this time by providing resources to them to give them some peace and happiness." Your style of humor can feel trivializing / mocking / negative to some who are coming to a thread for the purpose of the thread. No public response please- just for you to think about, since it's a report we've received about you from others as well on different threads.

Platinum Pearl, I was glad to see your post concerning adoptive grandparents. Six years ago I was introduced by a friend to a lovely young couple from Turkey who had no relatives or friends here in Canada. I got to know them very well and she informed us that she was pregnant. Well, that beautiful daughter of theirs showed up four years ago and when she was born I was asked if I would want to be her Canada grandmother. I accepted with pride. I visit her every few days on Skype and I get all the latest stories from her. After all, four year olds have tons of stories LOL. I see her once in a while as they do not live far but we all have the masks going on. To get smiles and hugs from this precious child is more than I could ever ask, not having kids of my own. That lovely couple are like kids I never had.
