I never watched due South, hmmm. Will have to put that on the list if the current queue finishes.

I hate this administration has woken the wolverine (not the character, the animal) in me.

I know. I am not accustomed to the kind of feeling I get when I see gun toting advocates of killing grannie, or anytime I see Mitch McConnell's face. I want them all sick, then I feel guilty for the thoughts.

Do we talk about Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist anywhere?

Yes! In Comedy. I haven't seen this week yet and it is taunting me in my Hulu queue. I enjoy it more and more.

Butter will actually last quite a long time at room temperature, like at least a couple of weeks, before going rancid.

I keep it out all the time when I am in Otter Lake for the summer, but here, even with A/C blasting it is a puddle before long. We end up zapping it for a few seconds in the microwave to soften it.

did you all not see the amazing CDC beard reference sheet?

So, the CDC name for a Hitler mustache is a toothbrush? Good to know.

I ordered son a dozen more bandannas so he is more likely to change them at least daily. He only had about 6, which isn't enough. At least customers now have to wear masks and they are pretty good about cleaning the store surfaces.

Washable masks are easy to handwash, when you get home just walk back tovthe sink, and wash them at the same time you do your hands.

After I've soaped and rinsed my cloth mask, I use it as a washcloth for my face, then rinse again and hang it upbto dry.

Add me to the list of those who love Due South. And I thought the dog/wolf in the first season was the best looking, but they changed him out in later seasons.

And I always remember one scene where Fraser is in a closet with Ray's sister (Francesca?) who has a huge crush on him. She sniffs and asks what she smells and he says it's neat's foot oil ... he rubs it into his Sam Browne. At which point she's ALL ears and says "Sam Browne?" and he (repressively) replies it's his BELT. sigh ....

First world problems. Taco Bell changed their breakfast menu. No more breakfast quesadillas which I LURVED. The substitute I tried today was underwhelming. So I guess my waistline thanks you and I am back to no Taco Bell in my life.

Well in the world of one small step forward, possibly a giant stumble back...my car won't start. Not sure exactly what is going on. Matthew was using it to run his mom to get her prescription (he just replaced the starter in his car but it was acting funny and he was worried about driving it) and my car wouldn't start. He ended up taking his car (fingers crossed they get back) and mine is possibly the starter, we don't know. He is going to have his brother or a friend come over and look at mine and he knows enough about car repairs for simple things if it's the starter we can get it fixed without taking it to the shop.

DH's aunt has died. I don't know when/how we'll mark her death.

Our niece is a nurse in GA. She's been diagnosed, but seems to be doing okay thus far. She has 3 kids. Her father (DH's brother) is now quarantining. He's got multiple underlying conditions.

A local s-i-l and her husband are essential workers. They both have to be tested. He was exposed at work (he works for the state and moonlights at a hospital; I don't know which job was involved). She works for a home improvement retailer. Their 3 adult kids and his elderly mother (with multiple co-morbidities) live with them.

I see these astroturf protests, and it really does things to me. I listen to Orange Julius and it does things to me. I have to find something to do that takes me out of my head, so that I don't become this bitter, vengeful person, but I don't want to do anything.

Sorry. Whinging done. I just had to get it out.

Cindy, I'm sorry about your DH's aunt.

And your family who is sick and quarantining. I had to step away from Twitter and Lindsay Graham, who is someone else I want to throat punch repeatedly and not just turn into a rage of profanities.
