If you have no idea how many of your population are infected, it's
very arbitrary to say that it's now safe to open things up again. But
if you're not worried, why would I be?

I'm anxious enough to shop infrequently and wear a mask. I don't touch
my face with my contaminated hands until thoroughly washed when I get home.
That's the best that I'm going to do. Once at home and washed up, I
don't obsess on further cleanliness. Don't worry. Be happy!

I think you're being sensible. Sooner or later we have to leave home,
but we do it as little as we can. And that's in lucky (so far)
Australia.

A Dutch blood bank that's said to be a good representation of the
population, measured corona antibodies in donated blood. 3.5% had
antibodies.* That's rather disappointing. Herd immunity is taking its
sweet time (if immunity even exists in this case).

"Americans" are not using Republican states as guinea pigs. Those
states are using themselves as guinea pigs.
 
Again, you overestimate the power of the federal government. Our
Constitution deliberately gives those powers to the states and not
to the Fed.

Yes, and they are Americans.

You make it sound like people in Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, etc. are
using people in Georgia as guinea pigs.

Do you want a real answer? The governments in the states being used
as guinea pigs think the economy is more important than the lives of
their citizens.
 
Happily, my governor realizes that the economy is made up of citizens,
and is doing all that is reasonable keep us from harm. Provided that
we're smart enough to do what's prudent.

Not only that but even many citizens are protesting (in large
groups) against their own governors and the stay at home
restrictions.
 
Even in those areas, it's just the vocal crowd that makes
the news. I suspect that many in those areas will still
opt on the side of caution. I know I will.

Ask if he's a gardener and keeps goats. If so he never has to buy food
or pay for it.

Right at the start, you said you let him move into the back house
because he was homeless and broke.

Sounds to me like your gardener might be related to

And here we go again....again!
You say "it looks like cheap crappy tasting mac & cheese."
But you have absolutely no idea what it tastes like.
As I said, I love that stuff. Nice and cheesy and those
bits of burger have some amazing flavor. That's the key
flavor in it.
 
If the ingredient list doesn't scare you, you should buy
a box sometime and taste it. Only costs a dollar.
If you have to spit it out, just send the leftovers to:
1) starving children in India
or
2) Gary in Virginia Beach
 
Next time I go to Food Lion, I plan to buy a box or two.
I'll use their ingredient list to get an idea of the
burger seasoning then maybe make my own without all the
extra ingredients that scares Brude.

I do wish Julie would explain more about her gardener.
The guy lives in her back house/shed but also has free
access to her house.
 
He eats up all her food and even steals her toilet paper.
All this in exchange for gardening on her small property?
 
And he keeps goats somewhere else. What's up with the goats?
 
Wth is going on there?

It is not the coffee that is becoming stale, It is the fact that they
put the coffee over very hot burners and it literally burns the coffee
and ruins it. All of these restaurant chains do this. For some reason
they feel they need to put freshly brewed coffee over a scorching heat
source. They dont seem to realize it or care that they are just
burning the coffle and ruining it. If they put it in an insulated
thermos or container it would last hours almost or at least until it
got too cool to enjoy.

True. I was thinking of my coffee filter machine. 20-30 mins is the
limit.

I do agree. Leftover coffee kept on a warmer will taste bad
by time you go for a 2nd cup. I never do that. Better to let
it cool then reheat in a microwave later if necessary.
 
If I brew more than one cup, I'll wrap it in a kitchen towel
to keep warm rather than keep it on a heat source.

Nah, I joked them here and not in Facebook. Besides, I'm not
a member of that Facebook group (I never use Facebook) so I
couldn't post it there anyway.
 
Besides, there are some Facebook kids that read here too.
I'm sure one might repost it there if they feel it's
necessary. Not really though.

Sadly I didn't write down which flavor of Hamburger Helper
worked but once (many years ago), I used a pound of
ground hot sausage instead of ground beef. It was amazing
and much improved taste.

Hey, everyone, have a good beginning of a week! I've most often baked
with Hershey's brand Special Dark dry cocoa powder and sometimes I mix
it with the Kroger brand. I'm quite pleased with the results but I'm
wondering if it's worth it to try some of the finer brands (Guittard,
ValrhonaDroste, Ghiradelli ). Any thoughts?

yes, sure, uhuh, tell me how many Gigwatts of solar and wind
have been put in the past 5yrs compared to nukes in the world.
 
 
> Hawaii has a goal of 100% in 25 years. Perhaps we'll be able to reach that goal before most of all ya'alls because we're so far South. My guess is that within 10 years we'll have high capacity storage batteries that will revolutionize the structure of our power system. I'm betting that Hawaii won't need to go nuclear but the rest of the world might. I is already woke and knows what's happening. Quit being a snootyburd. You get the last word.
 
Hawaii is already putting orders for large battery storage.
And also putting work back into their geothermal wells which
is an excellent use of a natural resource there instead of
messing around with nukes. kudoes. Hawaii will be near 100%
sooner than many other states!
 
in the meantime:

in just a few months a 50% expansion. no nuke needed.

Our dog came with one like this in his luggage

I have another , kept at my sons house, which is improvised from a
tall plastic bucket turned upside down, and a hole cut out to fit the

Ferrets are illegal on this rock but I have been to a ferret house on the mainland. I don't know if they're marking their territory but something was sure going on smell-wise.
 
I like to let my cat outside every so often. I want him to go up and down our walkway and stake out his claim to the path. This is effective at keeping the chickens off and prevents them from crapping all over the place. The condo should pay us for this important service - hehe.
