Our wings are not tired.

Happy belated birthday to beth b and beekaytee! Not sure where I was at to miss them. In the hazy fog of life no doubt.

I can barely use 5 lbs of flour. 50 lbs is not happening. Tonight I am going to make eggplant parm for the first time. As much as I love to order it, for some reason I have never actually made it.

I have not baked but I really mean to. Maybe you can figure out some kind of trade with the flour with some people in your area.

I went to the produce market and it would have been super fun if it weren't for the lack of social distancing going on and just the general stresses. Lots of Latin/Mexican ingredients. Four different varieties of sweet potatoes. I got some and also some okra and yellow squash and mayhaw jelly as a treat. Then came home and washed everything with hot water to do my best to de germ it. I wore a DIY bandana mask and liberally used hand sanitizer while I was there. It wouldn't have been so crowded if there hadn't been multiple couples, most of them had masks so they should know you don't need 2 people to go grocery shopping. I was thinking about venturing to the Bi Lo for groceries but I'm back to pick up at Wal Mart.

I don't know enough about JAR except , you know Angel so I can't say I'm surprised or not but from what I've seen on the little bit of Instagram I follow he realy is proud of his current show so I hope that it is successful (I need to check it out)

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I keep thinking about my store and it has 4 entrances and I have no idea how we are supposed to track to make sure there is only 20% occupancy. Also to maintain 6 fett apart it will mean only 1 person per register station. 1 person on the elevator at a time I guess. I don't think my store is going to open as soon as the order changes but I was just thinking about the logistics of it all .

Costco started only doing one entrance a few weeks ago. They count the people, they have made the aisles all one way so you can't pass too close to anyone (although some jackholes ignore it), they have the tape lines on the floor at the registers, and they finally have an express line to move people through quickly.

re: JAR - not surprised, but surprised.

Also in SICSOFB (Shit I can't say on FB) - Friend (and you really are my friend and I think that you're a good person), when I call you out on some white shit online, please don't try to justify your comment with "you're right, but..." and "you know i hate those people too" kind of comments. Especially back channel in a DM. You said something thoughtless. I know that you didn't consider the implications. You realize it now. Let it go. I don't need to absolve you.

I could actually go through 50 lbs of flour in a reasonable (couple months?) worth of time, but I bake my own bread and make my own pizza dough a couple times a week, so. But I would need to devote some major containers to hold it all weevil-free.

Flour seems to be harder to get, I've just looked at a couple websites....

I was thinking of department stores and such, like mine has 4 mall entrances (on 2 sides , upstairs and down) and then 2 outside entrances but only on one level. I guess they could close off one set of mall entrances and one outside entrance. But that assumes they open soon. which I don't know if it will happen it's still up to businesses to decide when they will open.

I'm shocked Vortex didn't comment on JAR!! But also sorry about your friend. If I ever do that feel free to whack me upside the head to remind me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Our niece is going hardcore Trump supporter. She "came out" in a post on FB about a month ago. It is odd, because she married at 19, had two kids and divorced before she was 22 and has been on some form of public assistance ever since she left home. She moved in with her parents a few years ago and they're pretty much raising her kids--she has some mental health issues which make it unlikely she'll ever work full-time. She can't seem to se that he is actively working against her interests. It's sad.

Matthew's mom came and told me that retail stores could reopen and asked when I'd go back to work. I told her I don't know just because the Gov said they could reopen tomorrow doesn't mean my store will. They closed before they were ordered to

I said people are going to die and she replied "people are starving because they don't have money". And was kind of dismissive when I pointed out the government should be doing things to protect and help people instead of insisting we risk our lives.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Unfortunately there are more than a few people who vote against their interests(whether they realize it or not) out there.
