Good question though, how would bread taste with butter and chives? (or butter and parsley, in this case).

Just couple months ago lobster men were asking for financial
assistance from the government because times were so hard for them. I
would assume that hard times would lead to cheaper lobster.

If Martha did not buy those lobsters the guys that catch them would be
in even worse shape. Good for her, helping the economy.

I use nuclear power here.
 
Looking at my last electric bill, the electricity itself
cost $21.30.
 
By time they listed all the other fees, taxes and surcharges,
my bill was for $56.97

I read a good book years ago but remember nothing about it
other than it was good. "Many Lives, Many Masters"
 
I think it was about reincarnation and many past lives.
I don't remember if it was fact or fiction.

You don't sound to sure of yourself.

She has a car that she likes and runs well. So you say she should now s
pend $30,000 to get an electric one to save money and the environment?
What is the payback?

Looks like it was a cul-de-sac. Roughly as dangerous as chalking
the math problems in one's own driveway.

Yes, it was a cul-de-sac but still not smart as other people
use the street end. Maybe he should have done that in his own
driveway. Even better, why not on paper inside at a table?
 
I've seen so many stupid videos of "how to stay sane during
the lockdown." Evidently many people go nuts just staying
at home. I've never had that problem.
 
Since so many people seem to be obsessed with their cell
phones, I wouldn't think staying home should be such a problem.

People have had some odd ideas in this lock down. We have had a number
of cases where people were given hefty tickets for failing to socially
distance, and then they go whining to the press. News of the new laws
and fines was well publicized. Towns and cities handed out a lot of
warnings at first. Then they threatened to start laying charges, and
when people continued to ignore the new laws they started handing out
tickets.
 
One guy got a ticket for taking his three sons to the parking lot at the
local community centre. The centre was closed and posted. He whined to
the press that they were socially distancing and how there was no one
else there so no problems about passing on the virus. There was no one
else there. Everyone else was obeying the law. If everyone else was
violating the law there would have been lots of people there.
 
 
There was a case of a guy who took his took out to do its business. His
story was that the cops were waiting for him when he got back and
ticketed. He made it sound like he was gone for two minutes. It turned
out there was more than that to it. He was under mandatory quarantine
because he had recently returned from Mexico. His neighbours knew that
had have been complaining because of his frequent violations. His sob
story seems to have omitted the fact that the cops had been there a few
days earlier and given him a warning.

Growing up in the city we played many games in the street. Great
experience.

I guess it all depends on where you are and who you are with. I'm
presently quarantined where I am but have no complaints. If the
accommodations are top notch, it is quite nice.
 
Well, time to go sit out on the deck and watch the ocean waves.

I think most boardwalks along the ocean were originally
made of board planking, hence the name.
 
In my lifetime, all that I've seen have been replaced
with concrete. Mine here is about 3 miles long and smooth
and good for skating. :)
 
Best fun is to go on a windy day. First skate into the wind,
like walking uphill on a mountain. Then turn and skate with
the strong wind. Often just a few skating motions to get
moving and the wind will push you all the way to the other end.
Fun to do.

Thanks O. I just watched that on my other computer. Very cute
stuff. Dog and ferret become friends. My cat accepted my
first ferrets and they became good friends too.
 
That was fun to watch. Now I miss a ferret or two all of the
sudden. Such cool animals.

It's not the time. It's remembering, filling, spilling, cracking, being
unable to get the cubes out of the damned trays. The entire experience
is outmoded.
 
That reminds me; I should check the filter on our icemaker line to see
if it needs to be replaced. My husband has probably already taken care
of that.

Oh too funny, Cindy. Sounds like an infomertial where someone is
using
a knife to cut vegetables and it slips and shows vegetables going
all
over the kitchen. They portray that as clutsy old way.
 
Introducing the all new super chopper and all things cut so neat.
All
for only $19.95 and get a second one free (for an extra charge)
 
Seriously, filling an icecube tray or two is a problem for you?

Mine has a light that goes on. I get 6 months from one. The filters
are not cheap so I tried a generic brand one and it only lasted half the
time and I started getting an off taste Back to the Samsung from now on.

It is one of the little annoyances that can be eliminated so some of us
do. I've not shoveled coal for heat either since they invented the
automatic stoker.
 
I'm willing to pay for some conveniences.

I would too. Don't have an ice maker but my drinking water must be
cold, preferred with ice. Tepid water does not make my mouth happy.
I specifically bought a water bottle(s) that will accept larger ice
cubes. There must be more people like me because I see now that most
water bottles come with the wider mouth.

Didn't you even have a heated steering wheel for your car?

True. I've seen site/cite/sight, coarse/course, peek/peak/pique, and
quite a few other sound-alikes.
