Apparently they are working from home. They can't be too busy because I had to book a meeting room for the art festival committee.

I have lots or books that I have read before and would no mind re-reading. I have one that my son gave me that I just haven't ever been able to finish. Then, if I get really really bored, I have Under the Volcano. It is supposed to be some kind of a masterpiece but I have never been able to read more than 10 pages of it. |

I couldn't tell you about catfish because no, I've never fished for that. I'll take farm raised supermarket catfish, thanks. :) I was 12 years old when my friends and I would go out with some string and pieces of chicken and sit on the rocks on a point jutting into the ocean off Parris Island. Dangle the string in the water and wait for the crab to come up. It was amusing. It's not as though we were being counted on to bring home supper like something from an episode of Little House on the Prairie. I went crabbing years later with my father shortly after they built the house here. At that time he had crab traps and access to a shared dock. The dock is no longer there. I don't know what he baited the trap with. Blue crab tastes nice but they are a PITA to get any meat from. I can remember bringing home a dozen of them from that trap in a cooler with Dad and hearing their claws skittering. I had a small dog at the time and he barked at the noise coming from the cooler in the garage. The blue crabs tasted great but they're small and it was a heck of a lot of work picking the meat out after steaming them. For that reason alone I wouldn't bother going crabbing again. Besides, I prefer Alaskan crab and sadly, it's not something I can dangle a string in the water with *any* bait and catch off the coast of South Carolina. ;) Jill |

Eating crabs was a social event. Sit at the picnic table with the nut crackers and cold beer. Maryland crab houses were a similar experience. |

Yes, Trump didn't seem to realise that. "I am the President. I am the authority" and all that. That was hilarious :) |

Just my thoughts? I think we can go another month or so before civil unrest becomes widespread, but I'm not sure. A month after that, there will be violence in the streets if the quarantine persists. Oh, and that's not just here. The more restrictive the quarantine is anywhere in the World, the more unrest is probable. Remember that in the U.S., our Governors dictate when restrictions will be eased or lifted statewide, not President Trump. Interesting times and 2 cents. leo |

They are pretty important for some types of shopping these days. I ordered something from Canadian Tire the other day. I called with my order and they called back to my cell phone to get a credit card number when the order was ready. Then when I got to the store I had to call and tell them what kind of car I driving so they could bring it out to me. It's actually not a bad way to shop if you want to reduce expenses. I didn't have to go store to store to look for the item. The time it took for them to bring it out was probably less than I would have spent in the store to get it myself, and I didn't look around and make impulse purchases. |

That way of shopping is virus driven of course, I do it all the time at Tractor Supply now and it works well, they bring out my purchase quickly so far. I usually go during the week early morning as to avoid the busy times. |
| Gary <g.majors@att.net>: Apr 18 09:41AM -0400 Everyone assumes that all have a cell phone AND/OR a very up-to-date computer these days. Example: Over a month ago I got the letter about the Census. Letter said to go online to fill it out. If we don't hear from you, we will send a paper questionaire. Well I don't have a *secure* internet connection so I waited to get the paper version. I got it Thursday and mailed it back the next morning. Had I known about the questions, I could have done that online even though not secure. Very basic info and can easily be looked up online by anyone. Oh well. At least I sent it right back.. |

You guys have even copied sauerkraut! >The Asians invented noodles and fermented cabbage. Do your research before spewing forth ignorance. Actually you're wrong, the Mayans invented noodles, made from corn tortias. And the Jews invented fermented veggies, as in pickles, my favorite being pickled green tomatoes, another New World dish. If not for the foods from the New World the Asians would have starved... seafood can get boring. Asians have never been inventive, Asians are good at copying/stealing. If Asians were inventive they would have beat the Wright brothers to air travel, if they had motorized their kites. |
