Saturday Overnight Open Thread (4/25/20)
My Self-Isolation Quarantine Diary Day 1 – I Can Do This!! Got enough food and wine to last a month! Day 2 – Opening my 8th bottle of Wine. I fear wine supplies might not last! Day 3 – Strawberries: Some have 210 seeds, some have 235 seeds. Who Knew?? Day 4 – 8:00pm. Removed my Day Pajamas and put on my Night Pajamas. Day 5 – Today, I tried to make Hand Sanitizer. It came out as Jello Shots!! Day 6 – I get to take the Garbage out. I’m So excited, I can’t decide what to wear. Day 7 – Laughing way too much at my own jokes!! Day 8 – Went to a new restaurant called “The Kitchen”. You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have No clue how this place is still in business. Day 9 – I put liquor bottles in every room. Tonight, I’m getting all dressed up and going Bar hopping. Day 10 – Struck up a conversation with a Spider today. Seems nice. He’s a Web Designer. Day 11 – Isolation is hard. I swear my fridge just said, “What the hell do you want now?” Day 12 – I realized why dogs get so excited about something moving outside, going for walks or car rides. I think I just barked at a squirrel. Day 13 – If you keep a glass of wine in each hand, you can’t accidently touch your face. Day 14 – Watched the birds fight over a worm. The Cardinals lead the Blue Jays 3–1. Day 15 – Anybody else feel like they’ve cooked dinner about 395 times this month? IS THIS YOU, yet? H/T TN Deplorable
The world is full of thin skinned little pricks. Once again it is better to keep your opinions to yourself.
The mayor of Japan's Osaka has come under fire for suggesting men should do grocery shopping during the coronavirus outbreak because women are indecisive and "take a long time." Japan is under a state of emergency over the pandemic, and residents in some areas have been asked to shop less frequently and only send one family member out to get supplies to limit contact. Osaka Mayor Ichiro Matsui told reporters on Thursday that men should be entrusted with grocery runs because women "take a long time as they browse around and hesitate about this and that," Kyodo news agency reported. "Men can snap up things they are told (to buy) and go, so I think it's good that they go shopping, avoiding human contact," the 56-year-old added.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. The world's best whiskeys.
As hair salons and barbershops are still closed in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, people are taking matters into their own hands. Lucky for us, they are sharing the results of their haircuts on social media, proving just once again that hairdressers exist for a reason. From poorly done fades to bald patches on the back of the head, these quarantine haircut fails are all kinds of hilarious. So scroll down below to see some unfortunate lockdown haircuts and vote for the ones that made you laugh (or relate)!
Just one more reason to appreciate Walmart. Yes, Walmart’s grocery delivery service will now deliver alcohol to your house
WAVY) — Walmart stores across Virginia and North Carolina that already offer grocery online ordering and delivery are also offering another benefit — but only to those 21 and older. Under local laws, Walmart grocery now allows for the delivery of beer and wine. Here’s how Grocery Delivery works, according to Walmart:
To double space or not to double space? That is the question. And here's the answer.
Microsoft has settled the great space debate, and sided with everyone who believes one space after a period is correct, not two. The software giant has started to update Microsoft Word to highlight two spaces after a period (a full stop for you Brits) as an error, and to offer a correction to one space. Microsoft recently started testing this change with the desktop version of Word, offering suggestions through the Editor capabilities of the app. If you’re still (strangely) on the two-spacer side, you will be able to ignore the suggestion. The Editor feature in Word allows users to ignore the suggestion once, make the change to one space, or turn off the writing-style suggestion. We understand Microsoft has been testing the feature change recently and it will roll out to everyone using the desktop version of Word soon. Feedback to the change has been overwhelmingly positive.

Cops don't race. Genius Award Winner.
According to the press release, 25-year-old Musab Alshussein was clocked by troopers going 120 miles an hour in a 70 mile an hour zone. The red Mustang was chased for 25 miles, with troopers throwing stop sticks twice before the pursuit ended. Police say Alshussein told troopers he didn’t stop because he thought the officers wanted to race.

I posted these late/early on an ONT this past week, and am not sure you saw them. But I thought you might enjoy the quotes*:
"Civics was a class that used to be required before you could graduate from high school. You were taught what was in the U.S. Constitution. After all the student rebellions in the 60's, civics was banished and replaced by something called social studies. Here we live in a country that has a fabulous constitution and all these guarantees - a contract between the citizens and the government - now nobody knows what's in it. It's one of the best-kept secrets. So, if you don't know what your rights are, how can you stand up for them?"
~ Frank Zappa in Spin Magazine/July, 1991.
and
". . . I'm a conservative. . . ."
~ Frank Zappa on CNN's Crossfire, 1986

Is that Beer sign with lights a Wisconsin Christmas tree?
When visiting WI, driving the countryside, there are taverns in little places that look like old houses, not commercial buildings. But there is a Beer Sign of a various brand. That's how I can tell. And some gravel lot to park some cars.
I saw them everywhere.

Not sure why double spacing is such an issue. I learned to type when I was 12 (back in the LBJ administration) and using a manual typewriter, I just always double spaced at the end of the sentence. Anything I write now (on LibreOffice) my husband formats, and he always takes out the extra space. This is our marital equivalent of "Toilet Seat - Left Up or Left Down?" (which has never been an issue here BTW.)
We are BUSTING OUT TOMORROW and driving to Madison WI (200-mile round trip) to see our daughter. We're not sick, she's not sick, and I'm bringing her a lasagna. Our dim-bulb governor can go [expletive deleted] himself.

I've made a decision. I'm going to put a couple folding chairs and a folding table into the car.
Along with a carefully packed "full service" of table cloth, dinnerware and silver, shakers, centerpiece and napkins.
Glassware as needed, for water, beer or wine, and coffee cups, too.
'Cause I'm going to order at one of those nice places that's offering only "to go", and make an order there.
But instead of taking it home, I'm gonna set up the ensemble right in front of the establishment, and dine properly, and with full (if panicky) service.
Fuck this lockdown shit. I'm done with it.
Now, it IS Bourbon O'clock, yes?

This chicken little fear mongering is a avalanche wish list the left has been trying to achieve for decades. Obscene amounts of money for the rich-free grants, small business and citizens are expected to pay it back. More damage to school kids public education/futures. Police forces now on patrols constantly. Draconian limits on society's freedoms, with people standing inline outside businesses that didn't even happen in the old soviet union.

That was stunningly obvious. Carmel? Ketchum?
If you want to live in either of those places, bring several million dollars with you.
It's funny that they listed Cannon Beach, Oregon - a nice place on a nice summer day (albeit extremely crowded), but its climate makes Portland look like Phoenix. Do you like rain? Lots of rain? Even more rain than that? And more rain on top of that?
I knew a guy who retired to Cannon Beach - he and his wife held out for about five years, and then moved back to Portland, because they couldn't take the climate.

Just about every business I visit is open ... rarely eat in restaurants.
#@*%ing Evers left all the state parks open, in fact even waived use fees, so get plenty of hiking in.
Mayor of Osaka has never seen me shop ... read the ingredients, look at the other brand's ingredients, look at expiration dates, check that can isn't dented, take package from back of the shelf to defeat stock rotation, and so on.

I gave up double-spaces after periods when I went web.
Originally HTML called for the compression of all 'white space.' Type twenty spaces, it should look like one. Type five line-feeds, it should look like one. (Exception when you're using the show-what-I-typed raw tag.) Bunch of mixed spaces and line-feeds = line-feed.
Browsers began not adhering to the multi-line and other html-incorrect things because web designers are stupid and careless and people complained when things went according to the rules.
Which is why there are not five spaces between this and this, but there are several line-feeds below...

Since I have nothing else to do with my life these days, I clicked through the Best Small Town in Every US State to get to my state, WA.
Problem with being #47 out of 50 when the states are listed alphabetically does take some time.
Anyway, they chose Friday Harbor. Located on San Juan Island, it's county seat. It is also the biggest town on all of the Islands, where the WA state ferry lands more than on any other island in the county.
Lots of money over the last decade has essentially rebuilt to original nearly every building in town, as well as a few newer ones up the hill. But thankfully, not too many. For no particular reason, I have passed through Friday Harbor about a half dozen times in the last few years, refreshing my experiences. I love to visit the place, the people are friendly and down home.
Been visiting it on and off now for 50 years. Mostly by boat, but a few times by car via ferryboat. The roads are now all paved instead of gravel, and the buildings all have new roofs and siding, but it still has it's original charm that I have come to expect and remember as a youngin'.
I checked the other Left NW coast states. Oregon was Cannon Beach. Idaho was Ketchum (Sun Valley). Montana was Whitefish.
All of them are classic "can't miss" vacation areas.
I'm sensing a theme here.

I used to be a double-space zealot. But if one is working in a good word processor, the printout of your work should look like you had double-spaced after periods, whether you did or not.
Basically, double-spacing after a period is a work-around that typists, on actual typewriters, used to get around the fact that typewriters don't have proportional fonts.

It's an ordinary absorbed glass mat type. The idea is that it's not sitting on the shelf losing life, since it's only activated when you activate it. It's pretty easy, just pull the tabs off the top, push the electrolyte bottle onto it to pierce the foil, then give it a few minutes to drain. Put the tabs back, let it sit a half hour to absorb, then charge it.

The way to demystify "experts" is to use a little Marxian class analysis - remarkably, "experts" invariably propose solutions that benefit "experts" and the areas that "experts" live in.
It is not an accident that highly-educated wealthy neighborhoods in blue cities did great under Obama, while the rest of the country stagnated. "Experts" were running the country then, and made sure that the places where they lived did better than anywhere else.

Years ago, for normal open type lead-acid batteries, it was standard to ship them dry to the store, and then add acid later.
One practice was to add acid to a batch to put on the shelves. That's fine when you're steadily selling them, but not so fine if you don't sell too many of them. That's the way an old feed 'n' seed guy around here who sold batteries would do it.
If you bought a battery, it was pretty much self-serve. He'd send you back in the back to find the battery you wanted, tell you where the bottle of acid was and you'd fill it yourself.

It's still likely, that when we make our escape from California, that our destination is Arizona. Texas is a possibility, though.
Need space for horses, and want to be relatively near a city. Spending time with maps, I've noticed an area south of Dallas that seems remarkably underpopulated, considering how heavily populated the DFW area, and the area to its north, is populated. Seems like one could get a horse property for a decent price down that way. Is there something badly wrong with that area? Is it Tornado Central or something?

Of the four venomous ones in the States, I've never run, or rather swam, across a coral snake. But they don't have fangs and have to chew on you to infect you so you do have some warning there. But of the other three, rattlers and copperheads won't bother you if you don't bother them. Hell, rattlers even warn you. {Rattle, rattle} "Hey, I'm right here, don't bother me!"
Now cottonmouths are fucking aggressive and will chase you. I hate those fuckers.
The only snake I ever kilt was a rattler that was in our Boy Scout campsite. That one had to go. But snakes should not be kilt just because they're snakes, unless the snakes we're talking about are Democrats.

It somehow sounds more sophisticated. Like it might be used by a lawn technician. Perhaps a fellow in a pair of industrial dungarees that gives you a printed invoice after manicuring the lawn around the estate grounds.
A "weed-eater" seems like it would be used by a middle-aged married man with radio headphones on listening to Rush Limbaugh, occasionally stopping to cuss because the bump feed on the weed eater head jams as he cleans up around his split-level rancher in the suburbs while his wife takes the kids to Target. He is probably wearing his dedicated white New Balance sneakers that have already been grass stained.
A "weed-whacker" might be used by a Florida or Tennessee man of limited education, perhaps a GED, and might be crudely fitted with a gerry-rigged skill saw blade that he uses to "knock down the big shit" before snapping on the As Seen on TV head of serrated plastic blades. He will clean up around the trailer to "keep the ol' lady from bitching" and may choose to clean up around the neighboring trailer lot if the female of the house's "Ol' man ain't around" in hopes of smoking pot with her and "gettin' some".

A "weed-whacker" might be used by a Florida or Tennessee man of limited education, perhaps a GED, and might be crudely fitted with a gerry-rigged skill saw blade that he uses to "knock down the big shit" before snapping on the As Seen on TV head of serrated plastic blades. He will clean up around the trailer to "keep the ol' lady from bitching" and may choose to clean up around the neighboring trailer lot if the female of the house's "Ol' man ain't around" in hopes of smoking pot with her and "gettin' some".

Two blank spaces after a period before beginning a new sentence.
That is CORRECT.
It is correct because Mrs. Haller, my first grade teacher told us that. She once spanked a kid during class right in front of me. Of course I read about 500 books that year....out of gut-wrenching FEAR.
She was a great teacher who really got the best out of us.
I know what you are thinking. How could Mrs. Haller be a 'Mrs.' as that implies she was married to an actual man? I don't know but I always felt sorry for him.

The fellow who has run the cattle here for many decades is a big, strong, salt-of-the-earth Oklahoma man. My brother once called him the strongest man he ever knew. Older and not so robust now, but, yeah.
So when we moved back here a quarter-century ago, we're taking down a rotted addition on this old house. We'd already seen the big shed snake skins, so we knew they were about.
I ripped down one piece of wall, and there was the tail of a four-foot-long brown/black snake, and its mate was nearby. I just yanked them out, picked them up at the necks, and walked them out to the high grass and let them go.
Big tough strong cowpoke was standing 'way back. Like a little kid.
I don't really blame him. Living in Oklahoma, when it comes to snakes, shoot first and ID later is not all that awful a policy. I told you, right? about when his granddaughter got that water moccasin, four shots out of six, with her cute little pink revolver, and it wasn't that big a snake.
Found a little ring-neck while sweeping the front porch this morning. I had just dealt with a skink the cat had brought in, and it's funny how much lizards and snakes are just the same, except, you know, the legs thing.
I'll forego the rest of my snake tales tonight. I've probably told them all before.

Could it not just be the vulnerable who might fill the hospitals ?
Like if you need help finding who is whom, send me the data (drivers license + past Medical history) (of the dead - they won't care trust me).
I will put this into a fancy matrix called a correlation (I made this up). I will put this into a fancy machine called a matlab (super secret).
I will then give everyone free-reign, I will offer those in the correlation extra incentive ($$ to a point) to stay home.
I will make correlation criteria public but not individuals.
I would encourage tests of BATCH samples (like spit in a big cup) that does not have individual labels. It attacks the virus. Not people. When the virus is found then individual tests would be offered.
I don't think this is that hard.
It is certainly not intractable.
It doesn't require a blanket.
If people are sending positive patients back to nursing homes they should be considered to be endangering public health.
This is all obvious and if you don't agree, have another drink.

It's still likely, that when we make our escape from California, that our destination is Arizona. Texas is a possibility, though.
Need space for horses, and want to be relatively near a city. Spending time with maps, I've noticed an area south of Dallas that seems remarkably underpopulated, considering how heavily populated the DFW area, and the area to its north, is populated. Seems like one could get a horse property for a decent price down that way. Is there something badly wrong with that area? Is it Tornado Central or something?

Come to the Tx Mo Meet, in October.
But arrive on Monday.
You'll need the weekdays to drive a few hundred miles in your search.
And I think you'll like what you see and what you'll find.
Bonus: You'll be hangin' out in your post-search hours, getting to know the "crew" who gets the Mo Meet up and running, and maybe pitching in a bit of sweat-equity, yourself.
You'll end up wanting to hurry home to CA.
But only, to get packed and the moving van loaded up, pronto!

If you arrive with a set particular item in mind, it tends to be tactical. You are a buyer.
If you need to peruse the shelves for inspiration, the process is much more protruded. You are a shopper.

Heh. I have a college degree, but I am weed-whacker guy at heart. Last year, I bought a 4-stroke weed whacker, and laid out extra bucks to get a cam-lock head that accepts pre-cut lengths of cord. Because bump-feed heads are junk.
But I have "the whirling silver blades of Death" for knocking down the big stuff: 4HP Sensation walk-behind mower, given to me by a friendly rental shop owner because a careless customer dropped it off a truck deck, and broke one wheel right out of the cast magnesium deck. I removed all the remaining wheels, and cut the front of the deck back to about halfway between the blade tip and the crankshaft. Made a row of tines from conduit tubing, and fitted that to the front of the deck; there are also skids that support the front of the deck just enough to keep the blade off the ground,
Fitted the rear with pneumatic bicycle tires off a kiddie bike, and extended the handle by two feet, both to increase the distance between the blade and my toes, but also to better balance the weight of the machine. It's almost effortless to maneuver it.
This thing just massacres thistles and other tall weeds, and small saplings, too. It will gnaw through a one-inch caragana stem if I feed it slowly enough. The mower deck was equipped with a conical crankshaft guard that prevents a bent crankshaft if I hit a large object and stop the blade suddenly. That will shear a flywheel key, but they are only fifty cents apiece.

It went well to the north of us here, northern Pickens the Greenville and Spartanburg counties. I could see the lightning show up to the north, but we didn't even get rain.
The weather guys were getting excited, "Rotation! Rotation!" and doing alerts and alarms. Tornado warnings up there.
Funny thing was one of the possible tornadoes passed right over the NWS station at GSP airport. They have to go offline for a few minutes while they "went to their safe spaces".
GSP was in charge of whatever management of the information flow, and they had to hand that off when they went to their Safe Space.

We had just moved back here with our young kids when one son came running up, excited about having found a nest of snakes in the old greenhouse.
It was a huge tangled nest of little garter snakes. I found a forked stick (Nature so often provides) and held down Mama so I could pick her up.
I showed my kids how to ID the garter, and when the Mama bit herself on the body in her panic and drew a little liquid, I could add, yeah, just because they aren't poisonous doesn't mean they can't put the bite on you.

Muldoon, I'm definitely a 'buyer'. And since I rarely buy anything but food and gas, I know exactly what I'm after.
That doesn't mean I won't shop. Say I'm buying an upgraded piece of stereo gear. I know what I want, so I'm 'shopping' for the best price, and I have patience. Cuz I don't really need it, but want it. Six months, a year, I don't care.
If I need it, I'm not too choosy. Recently I needed a 2 sided hand held mirror with a long handle for self haircutting. I found one at Wally World, and the price was nice at $5, but I woulda paid $10.

It looks crude as hell, but it does its intended job just fine. The original tires from the found-at-dump kiddie dry rotted, and I had to fit new tires and tubes, my single largest cash outlay. And the kiddie bike wheels had little multi-colored beads on the spokes, so the wheels would go "tinkle, tinkle, tinkle" as they rolled along. And after all these years, they are still there, and still tinkle. That's quality.

New Patriots kicker Justin Rohrwasser says tattoo doesn't represent militia group - ABC News
https://t.co/NsVQzLJgsh
New England Patriots rookie kicker Justin Rohrwasser says a tattoo on his left arm is not meant to symbolize the markings of "The Three Percenters," a right-wing militia group that first formed in 2008, and that he plans to get it covered up...
..."I got that tattoo when I was a teenager and I have a lot of family in the military. I thought it stood for a military-support symbol at the time," Rohrwasser said during an introductory conference call with reporters. "Obviously, it's evolved into something that I do not want to represent. When I look back on it, I should have done way more research before I put any mark or symbol like that on my body, and it's not something I ever want to represent. It will be covered."...

I wonder if there would be any call for delivery from the actual liquor stores where, at least here in Oklahoma, it's the only place to buy the hard stuff?
And come to think of it, how about those "medical" marijuana dispensaries. Surely, as cannabis is clearly a medical necessity, there could be no objections to a delivery service for the poor housebound cannabis needy, but I haven't heard about that yet. (I do have reports of socially-distancing lines around the block for the dispensaries.)

That's actually an important issue to raise with a lawyer BEFORE hiring him/her. And it's an issue of the 'buyer beware' category.
My niece is on the hunt for a probate attorney, and that is one of the questions I told her to ask. How, or do, you charge for questions or requests.
Your final bill may rest largely upon that answer.
Btw, that'll be $50 for the advice.

Tiny kitten Charlie just walked up to us one day, accompanying a big old feral cat, Max, who had been hanging around for a little while. One of the best pet-acquisition tales. Alas, I thought I heard Max meet his end in a fearsome scream out in the woods past the west wall. But he'll always be a hero for bringing us Charlie.

So the next day when I drive in there's another snake of the similar size and description lay in a cross the driveway. I run over it, doesn't make a difference at all. Went got something else and killed that one too. Turns out I think they were called bull snakes that are non venomous, can sound like Rattlers but are good to have around.

Edgartown is on the Cape. On Martha's Vineyard, home of asshole leftists. It is only the "best" small town if you make over a million a year, think Garrison Keillor is the voice of flyover country and squeal in glee every time you see Mooch buying herself more tuck tape at the local artisanal hardware store.

The devotional, which is normally the lead-in for the class:
------
To be upset over what you don’t have is to waste what you do have
Because the LORD is my Shepherd, I have everything I need! Psalm 23:1 TLB
In The Fisherman and His Wife, Lucy Crane tells the story of a fisherman who catches a large fish who is really an enchanted prince. The fisherman lets the prince go free and returns home empty-handed. His wife persuades him to return to the sea and ask the enchanted prince to grant him a wish in return for sparing his life.
He does so, asking (at his wife’s request) that their small hut be turned into a cottage. By the time he returns home her wish has been granted. His wife soon tires of the cottage, however, and sends her husband back to ask the fish for a large stone castle. Again, her wish is granted.
After the wife has tired of her castle, she asks to become a queen, then to have a palace, to be made an empress, and finally to be made ruler over the sun and the moon. At this the enchanted prince tells the fisherman to return home where he will find his wife back in their old hut.
We can waste an amazing amount of time, energy, and resources wishing for possessions, relationships and achievements. When we do this, we fail to enjoy God’s immediate gifts. God desires that we savor each moment of every day. It is only when we see God in the now moments of our lives that we can truly recognize His work in our future.
God’s Little Devotional Book II p. 12-13

I used to work at the Schrafft Building years ago, so I was able to go to the Cantab a few times to see Little Joe ("Peanuts" is one of the all-time classic songs). Beyond that, though, I was never a real club goer. The only time I was ever at TT the Bear's was when I watched the debut of a band called "Three Pound Universe," which was started by Joe Pesce, the former keyboard player for Til Tuesday.
You couldn't pay me enough to go to Boston now. And I know Bandersnatch loves the Cape, but I've never gone there and never will.

If I were to pick a small town to live in, it would be in the South or West, since I hate the cold. It would have a good used bookstore, a friendly pub, a compact downtown, a local paper and be a conservative haven. Also less than 1000 people.
And I want to live in an old Queen Anne or Second Empire house up on a hill that gives everybody the creeps.

Agreed, but isn't there an innate, God-given ability to recognize truth? It works best when that ability is sharpened through training, but it exists without education. I know St.Paul discusses the darkening of the intellect that happens as a consequence of sin, so it isn't a new affliction of humanity. It's just so infuriating and disheartening that they (the left, democrats) get away with everything while we (conservatives) get ground to dust after putting one toe out of line. The Hag can leave people to die, delete 33,000 messages from our government account, lie to the FIB, and everything else and she still is free. Saturday was the anniversary of the Bay of Pigs disaster and I read a column at TH that documented the absolutely evil way Kennedy acted that led to the deaths of those who were sent there. Yet, he's a saint and his family to this day enjoys demi-god status. Meanwhile, how many aides or appointees of PDT have been railroaded? It's absolutely depressing.

I guess it all boils down to what their 'base period' is and how many quarters in that base period you must have worked to qualify. Yeah, calling will be a royal PITA.

it just smells that way...
but, if i am to go off to the wilds of the #Failifornia Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve tomorrow, as Her Majesty has decreed, my sorry ass needs to get to the rack, so we can leave before mid-day.
at least we're taking the truck, and not her fancy ass, but uncomfortable (to me), Mercedes.
it's a beautiful car, but it's hard for me to be at ease in it, for several reasons.
it didn't use to be that way, and it's another reason for me to hate my body.

The oncology nurses were put back on full hours next week. Reducing staff while daily patient count for treatments has increased significantly apparently was not the right call. Duh.

Dr Vladimir Zelenko was on Dennis Prager last week for a hour and was very informative. He was the one that through a chain prompted President Trump to announce HCQ was promising.

Yes. I still like how it looks.

Never buy your ground beef at a dollar store. There is a guy who buys, and eats (tries to ) quick, frozen meals at dollar stores. A pound of ground beef is cheap, but reading the ingredients, it looks like they just drive the poor old cow into a wood chipper and package what comes out. They even list all the internal parts of the cow on the ingredient list. He says nasty mush is what it is, even smells bad.

Good morning Mlii,
You're also one finger typing?
I. Am. In. Awe.
Skip, sit-ups.
Lots of sit-ups.
Too bad I don't take my own advice but having been born the year Ford came out with Thunderbirds (think Bob Seeger) I'm just not into doing my hundred a day any more. Rock solid abs sure help keep the back in line though.

I have my mother recipe box also. Little metal box full of 3x5 cards, many typed out real neat and alphabeticaly sorted. Also a WW2 cook book with recipes that use ingredients that may or may not be available. Its a big book of a time gone by, before Walmart, etc.

Very cool.
Mom's recipe box is a disaster of disorganization! So unlike her. But it was fun to see cards written out in her hand, and also both of my grandmother's. It was so much fun!

Books exist. Vegetable gardens exist. Tools, of all sorts, exist. Hobbies exist. The internet is available to just about everybody in this country, with information on all these things There is an endless list of STUFF TO DO.
Why aren't you doing it?
Anybody who finds themselves sitting around doing NOTHING all day in a situation like this purely and simply deserves their boredom, and would not add anything to anybody's life if they were moving around freely.
