I suspect some of us are going to get less fussy about use-by dates.

Thanks, Lani. I'm going to try to practice that.

Yes, it's recommended here that if you are going out to shop for groceries, stock up to cut down on the number of trips you need to make. My daughter and her husband never shopped this way with them and their two kids out all day. They have now changed the way they shopped. They used to shop only fo...

My understanding is that this is meant to be temporary. I hope that's true, but I'm not sure how they plan on digging up bodies later.

Tuesday night here they did a light up night in appreciation of the people on the front line. Downtown was all lit up, and they asked everyone to put their porch lights on at 8 PM and clap. People everywhere are doing what they can to keep up spirits. I like the teddy bear in the window thing, which...

I watched a program on the Discovery Channel yesterday about the 100 best gadgets ever invented. Smart phones came in Number 1! I do not disagree. (In fact, that was my guess.)

Schools are closed for the rest of the academic year here. The grandkids are just getting set up on remote distance learning to start next week after working from packets since they went out. We FaceTime with them most days, and things are a little crazy. They are getting guinea pigs, which was in t...

Indigo, I'm glad the ventilator worked out well for you. It did for my brother, too, when he had to have it after cancer surgery and embolisms. It does lead to a lot of disorientation, too, as I remember. He pulled his out when he began to become more conscious, breaking a front tooth in the process...

He can’t bluster a way out of this one. You touch on something not really being addressed: the impact on...

What he does next is crucial. I think he cares enough about this country to do the right thing.

The question might be, what will his supporters do?

IMHO pasta can be homemade in the spaghetti and noudle varieties. IFF the ingredients like wheet flour and possibly eggs can be found. While preparing the dough is easy, cutting and grooming (straight or birdsnests, ravioli) of the pasta can easily fill your free time at home. Well dried plain past...
