Some of us are comfortable enough to not need constant company. I talk
with my SO on the phone at least once a day. I enjoy solice in reading
and having my cat curl up next to me while I do so. I enjoy watching
and feeding birds. I take surveys. I watch silly movies on TV. I cook
whatever I want to when I feel like and don't need to have someone else
there to approve the ingredients.
 
I sure as hell don't feel like I need to be out meeting and greeting
strangers in parking lots hoping for a bouquet of roses the middle of a
pandemic. That's just sad.

No, you fuckwit liar, you have not. Your husband left when Angela was
18; then you had Angela, then Justin the Gardener and his ex, now
Justin. The evidence is in your rfc posting history.
 
> Yeah. Like I said. I'm sick of it. The mandates aren't working.
 
They aren't working because stupid selfish people like Justin and
you, endlessly misrepresented the advice given, wrote your own
cockamamie script and couldn't even stick to that.
 
You did Trump's work for him and you're still at it.

Ethiopian cuisine is not the same as Tanzanian.

Thus, in this context, Carol's statement about "younger generations"
doesn't really mean anything.

I did. The ship was used but very little. You could not take a patient
in an ambulance there directly. Looks like it was good intentions but
not the right tool for the job. Sounds like it was a decision made by a
politician instead of a medical expert. It did not work well in Puerto
Rico either.

Medical teams aboard Comfort, which last month quickly activated and
deployed from Norfolk, Va., treated a total of 182 patients over a
three-and-a-half week period in support of the domestic coronavirus
mission intended to ease pressures on local hospitals. That was far
fewer than public assumptions and expectations for the floating
1,000-bed hospital, which arrived just as the New York City region saw
surges in infections and patients requiring intensive-care-level treatment.

Apparently, the Amazon Kindle e-reader works only with US libraries. That's
why I have a Kobo and that works with Canadian libraries, as I can attest.

Don't they have glasses in Canada? Can't he cross your border and get
a pair when you have the pandemic under control in 2150?

Stick to nursing. Don't blow it by going off like a lunatic about
electric cars and capitalists spying on you. You may have already
made yourself a non candidate for a nursing job.
 
Every time you blow an interview ... it makes it much harder to get
hired! Even in a pandemic, psychotic nurses are mot in great demand.
 
Good luck.

I bought a Bertazzoni for the last house. We really liked it. Ours was
all gas but there are other variations now. Would not hesitate to buy
one again.

This house came with GE appliances. Not my first choice but the range
has been good and I like the griddle in the center.

I bought my Kenwood specifically to support British industry.
The KitchenAid I use in the US, was bought to support US industry.
Of course, if they had been crappy products, and the only decent mixers
available were Chinese-made, I would have regretfully purchased a
Chinese one.

'Used to'? They are still far too common. Our new bathroom/shower room
has single lever taps, but the original bathroom has the two separate
ones, widely spaced.
 
Next time you visit the UK, take note of the fact that sink stoppers are
provided. The idea is that you put the stopper in place, then turn on
the taps to wash your hands in the the water in the basin, rather than
flipflopping your hands between the taps...

>Here's the strange part. The recipe (for children) said to turn the cookie sheet upside down first, because, it said, it would be "easier" to get the shortbread off that way, after baking. I don't know why it said that. I didn't need a spatula and I probably didn't even need to use the fork. (Maybe there was a little more butter in the batter than I realized?) At any rate, any recipe that calls for a cookie sheet generally doesn't result in a struggle! What gives?
 
I think maybe the reason for this is in case the cookies are a bit
crumbly. If the sheet is upside down, you can sort of "slide" the
cookies off without having to bend them slightly, which you might do
with a spatula if you were trying to get the cookies over the lip of
the cookie sheet.
 
I hope that wasn't too convoluted an explanation.

You just don't know how to text. Which is probably a good thing.

Look who's talking. Do you have a sibling? Do they know about your
obsession with butt sniffing? Does Hankzilla know?
