HEHE, done the freezer and wardrobes last week. My sone returned form UNI so i have a weeks worth of washing, drying and chucking out. :) You?
4:19 am
Deeha

4:21 am
M3
Thats a good idea, All the UNIs have closed but are open for key students i belive, My son was in his last year, so he can work from home still. What things did you make?
4:25 am
Deeha
strange vegetable dishes - amazing how good anything with indian spices tastes ! I was having a craze on daal before this all happened but red lentils are harder to find than hens teeth? My niece got me shopping at weekend she bought me LARGE of everything so I need a bit of room in my freezer to store some of that.
4:30 am
M3
OO good idea, i made various stews in the slow cooker. Good luck playing Tetris with your freezer hehe
4:32 am

We are also limiting people in our big box store to 50 at a time
3:43 pm

pretty much the same here, crossy - out only for essentials and then back inside. once the weather's a little better, i'll be able to spend some time on the front porch and backyard deck
3:44 pm

Also the mad panic for TP has stopped and we have removed most food limits. people are shopping sensibly again. :)

zooz, if the beaches are open, i'd hope people exercise more judgment than the dodos who partied on florida's and alabama's beaches through spring break
3:47 pm

Our beaches are closed on the island except for a few dog walkers. But you know what people are like when the sun comes out and it is hot.

stupidity is rampant - going back to an earlier convo about playgrounds, there was a group of older children tearing down the 'do not cross' tape at a small playground (because the city realized that news announcements weren't working) - when told to stop and that they shouldn't be in such close proximity, they razzed the lady and said, "but we're cousins."
3:49 pm

Silly people. We have had adults filming themselves sneezing and licking tins and bottles in the supermarkets! Unbelievable.

Our prime minister has got the corona virus and is in self isolation.

There are an abundance of covidiots around
3:51 pm
welki
ohhhh, how dumb can you be? here, in canada, if you've wintered in the u.s. and are coming back north, you MUST self-isolate for 14 days - no grocery shopping, no picking the dog up from the kennel, no stops at all - just go home. but the authorities noticed a LOT of vehicles stopped at shopping centers - now, you face a maximum $750,000 fine and 6 months jail if you do not self-isolate

We are dealing with "Citiot" "covidiots" they seem to think is is better to open up their cottages and fill our emergency roms than hunker down in the cities.

I am lucky as I live alone and can easily make my food last a couple of weeks at a time. The only thing I get at the same time as my parents shopping is bread & milk.

I always think of that word starting with im

Me, too. I think this spelling has a sightly different meaning.
6:15 pm
PastorJ
yes, it's actually a different word.
6:15 pm
Gillie
Actually, from the definition, it appears that this spelling is almost the opposite of the "im" word. It has a meaning similar to "emerging".
6:17 pm

The clue got me there, though :D
