That would depend on whether or not they also wear makeup. ;)

Many more nincompoops right here in RFC, Davers.
 
OK...I'm done for the day (applause). I'm writing too much lately
but only because the volume of posts here are large lately.

FWIW, those are not typical Trump fans, no matter
how much you'd like to imagine they are, Bruce.
 
I hope you know that already and are just having
a bit of fun.

I don't care what disgusting unnatural acts people do in their own
bedroom, just don't show me.

I prefer a women's voice to be low. Really high voices can tense. Plus,
having some hearing loss from years of working around loud noises, I
don't hear high pitches as well as I do with lower pitch. When
listeneing to choral pieces the soprano voices tend to fade away.

That was my [rhetorical] question at some point in one of his many posts
about a nursing job. Why does it have to be in home care? Why not work
in a hospital or a clinic? We're in the middle of a pandemic so they
are definitely looking for nurses. Ah, he likely couldn't pass the
necessary background checks.

Got a lot of Drag Queens around where you live?
 
What do you think about female actors playing drag queens? Kathleen
Turner was on the TV series 'Friends' as Chandler's father who was a
drag queen. I seriously doubt Kathleen Turner is actually a drag queen.
She plays rolls as they come along. Oh wait, so do drag queens. For
a lot less money.
 
I'm not sure where you run into all these gay men with fru-fru voices.
Or drag queens. Maybe you need to consider moving. I'll add a wink ;)

I understand they wanted something else. They picked the wrong
alternative. I can also understand that. What I don't understand is
that they still support him, now that everybody has seen what a moron
he is and that he doesn't give a shit about them.

That's certainly the way he calls it - trying to win whether too many
people lose their lives or not. If they do, he didn't tell them to
stop staying in, if they don't then he says 'I worked hard to make the
govs lift it'

Yes, watching the news right now. In one place 4% have the antibodies
and they think the actual rate of infection may be 85% higher. More
testing needed.

Let's continue on with that timeframe, Cindy.
 
Once kids leave junior high, all of the sudden they know
*everything*!
 
Most people mature enough by the time they leave their
teenage years to realize that they don't know everything.
Did you miss that memo?

There's a guy on the e-bicycle group I belong to and he lives in Bothell.
Not one single time has he said a word about shopping only once every two
weeks. Nor has he said anything about cell phone tracking or helicopter
surveillance or the lack of fresh vegetables there in the gulag of Washington
state. I guess that's because he knows when to get to the grocery store for
a good selection.

Nothing wrong with it. Maybe Greg Sorrow is a house proud gay man with

That's true of restaurants before the virus.

I always make my own burgers from meat I grind myself, I never buy
preground mystery meat. I admit to trying a burger at the golden
arches one time and couldn't eat more than two bites... that was in CA
when it cost 19¢, 1962.

Nevertheless, the "food is not properly handled/prepared" and "most is
too dangerous to be sent to land fills". You're risking your life
twice a year!

I am actually cooking far less now. Reason being, I can't find the
ingredients for what I would normally cook. We are having tuna casserole
about every two weeks. I did make that before but maybe once or twice a
year.
 
We are mainly eating cereal. Lots of cereal. And frozen meals. Why? Those
things are available in the stores here. I don't like this kind of food very
much so my appetite has tanked. Meanwhile, J is going crazy on the cereal! I
didn't even know he liked it. I never bought it before. But I bought some
now because it was available and it has vitamins in it.

We tried to get take out food one night last week. We had forgotten to
get something out of the freezer in time to thaw for supper. Not a
problem. Call for take-out and help to keep the local restaurants in
business. The two in out little village had phone messages saying they
had decided to close, I then tried the "downtown" restaurants. They
were closed. I finally got a message that said they were open and busy
so leave a message and they would call back. They called back about 5
minutes later and thanked me for the call.... but they closed on
Tuesdays, and it was Tuesday.
 
 
There is a Vietnamese and a Thai restaurant in town, but I was not
prepared to try to order by phone. There are serious language barriers
in both places. They seem to have convinced themselves that they speak
English, but it is extremely hard to make yourself understood, and even
harder to understand them. If it's that bad in person I am not ready to
try to order over the phone.

I don't think I have ever been hungry enough that a McDonalds burger
sounded good.

It would be good for the environment if many people continue to work
from home after this crisis.
