I have *that* recipe, except I sub Wild Root Gin for the whiskey. And the juniper in the gin compliments the flavors in the tomatoe soup. So, you wouldn't have to throw it out if you didn't wanna.

At least uphill in Minnesota ain't bad.

Since it's on Prime, I know it's not Outlander.

Winning!

So much winning.

If it mimics high altitude sickness, maybe a shot of Tequila will help.

Just to clear the air-I love you all and I hope I have not been a source of anger

Love back, and I think the stress of the current events is showing.

Thank you for telling us about your mother and your family, and about how good you all are to each other.

Pasta and flour are in short supply in Portland OR as well.

Yes, and it's for this reason I keep suggesting that we all treat each other with increased kindness and consideration. People here are suffering who aren't willing to share about it, possibly because we keep seeing comments about how other people are "full of shit" or lack the qualifications to co...

Me too, and these stories won't stop anytime soon.

I was reminded that unfortunately, reality states if you are well today, it just means you were not exposed and infected two weeks ago. Everyday is the first day of another two week cycle until we get past this.

Proving we will "all know someone" before this is through, both of a coworkers parents died over the weekend. Born and raised in NYC, his parents retired to Long Island to stay close to his adult siblings, and all their extended family throughout the greater NE area. His father fell ill first, and w...

And they called him, Chopper, Chopper

No one, you see, is smarter than trump
And we know Chopper lives in a world full of bullshit

I'm going to stick with "Evil conspiracy to make us buy new phones we don't really need" as my final answer. There was a time when a T1 with 1.5mbs was a fat pipe. Now, it's not even considered a sippy straw. All infrastructure is a gig minimum, and the downlink demand by phone users goes up every ...

Take a day Sugar. (((((long distance hugs)))))
You're awesome, and doing great things.
Thank you so much for being who you are.
Rest for a bit, and jump back into the deep end of the pool tomorrow.

See? You should always listen to the Fogbow experts! We knows our shits. :-D :boxing: (Seriously though, I spent days looking at every single thing I could find on the efficacy of masks in general, fabric types, number of layers, statistics, research and just plain old internet bullshit. There is n...

Found it! It was in this NPR article, which was posted here somewhere. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/04/03/826996154/coronavirus-faqs-is-a-homemade-mask-effective-and-whats-the-best-way-to-wear-one Thanks. Here's the quote from Columbia Univ Dr. Griffin: There is little data so far...

Any knitted fabric (if it stretches, it's knitted) is not recommended because the nature of knits is that it creates gaps between the fibers as it stretches. That's what allows it to stretch.

Got it. Thanks!

Bravo sugar!

I read today, but cannot recall where — DO NOT USE SPANDEX! The virus stays active on spandex longer than any other fabric. That would be interesting to find out if it's a good recommendation, or internet hyperbole. I'll do some looking. These scrunchies are great when you're trail riding to cut do...

None of this is perfect, but if you can keep the stuff being shed by people contained, that's a good thing.. less to spread, less to have to filter out with the real N95 etc masks. But I'm an engineer. That is the concept - capture it at the source. Regular speech has small amounts of spray and spl...
