    ...as convenient as online shopping and delivery is I still would rather pick out my own items, particularly produce, seafood, and meats. 

    The Safeway nearby has an introductory offer for one free delivery, but the catch is that the order needs to be a minimum of 50$.

    We don't eat seafod other than frozen shrimp once in a while, so that's a non-issue for us (my hubby could eat fish every day but try as I might, I just can't do it...nope). 

    Two words, Crab Cakes heart

    He loves them but nope for me. I can eat fried clam strips (definitely NOT whole belly) and shrimp, lobster and crab lets, but that's pretty much it. I've tried to force myself to eat fish because I know how healthy it is, but it's just dayum nasty. 

    not even big fish like butterfish, flake, tuna, gummy shark, I cannot eat small fish because of the bones, big fish have big bones so easy to avoid yes

    can be made into patties too enlightened

    I'm not that concerned about the bones in gummy sharks, because they are mostly gummy also... my big problem is the bag they come in... it's not gummy... and apparently a choking hazard if you try to eat it.

    I used to enjoy gummy animals, but after I was mauled by a gummy bear, I was kinda soured on the experience... it wasn't much of a mauling being it was made of gelatin, but it was the principle of the matter... That, and after finding out the gummy rat I ate was actually just a regular rat in lime jello, that was it for me and the gummy experience...

     


    Yeah, I know Gummy Sharks are actually tasty real fish Mustelus Antarcticus, or "Flake", "Australian Smooth Hound", "Smooth Willy" or "Yummy Dog-Shark"... (those last two might not be accurate)... I was just being facetious.

    I am going crazy by having conversations with my goldfish.  Wait they are a bit one sided.  I talk to the golfish and the goldfish wonder when the next feeding time is.

    I had gone to the supermarket the other day. I walked there and all the streets were barren like in the Omega Man movie. When I arrived at the grocery store, there were hardly any cars in the parking lot. The store was still open but it was going to close soon at 8:00 p.m. Usually it closes at 10:00 p.m. every night.

    When I got in there, hardly anybody was there. A few shoppers in this huge space and some staff stocking the shelves, or tending the cash registers. A lot of the shelves were empty. We are talking about a Super market. I was thinking maybe this was not a matter of items being purchased to the extreme but rather nobody to produce enough to ship to the stores to replenish the stock.

    When I filled my cart enough to require a taxi ride home, I stood in line at the check out. Each person stood two shopping carts away from each other. I would say more than 2 meters or even nine feet apart. Nobody butt in line between the empty space.

    Sure enough, I have attracted the one person who comes over to me to ask if this is a line and coughs in my space. Now I am not saying that tomorrow morning I will be waking up as a zombie thinking "shoot, I should have purchased more brains in the meat department..." and that this is my last posting here in the Daz forum.

    In fact, I think the government has been lieing to us the citizens and that the so called virus was really a manufactured nanite that self replicates once it enters our body and rewrites our DNA till we 1 0 11 000 101 1100 00111 0101 1010....

    Honestly, if someone were to walk up to me and cough in my face, I'd have a hard time not wanting to punch them in the mouth. 

    Then you'd love this lady.  Turns out Covid isn't bring out the best in everyone.

    The unnamed woman entered small grocery chain Gerrity's Supermarket in Hanover Township and started coughing on produce, bakery items, meat and other merchandise, chain co-owner Joe Fasula wrote on Facebook.

    A grocery store threw out $35,000 in food that a woman intentionally coughed on, sparking coronavirus fears, police said 

    We had a story here in Quebec of two grocery stores kicking out a shopper who'd just returned from Florida and was supposed to be in quarantine for two weeks.  Lots of people still don't understand that nothing is the same anymore.

    That's a lot of running around & coughing in the store. There must not have been very many customers present. Maybe its time we start having stun-gun armed security in stores to deal with people like that in a swift, direct, and non-lethal manner.

    Today I was reading a New York Times article and came up with a great thought... (which I shared with them in the comments section)

    During this crisis we are seeing a shortage of toilet paper... and moments before I was reading the article about how toilet paper was being delivered by armed guards to a CVS in Washington, I came across a picture from my trip to the local beach which I posted here a few days back... 

    Stay with me on this... it could change your life.

    Okay, back in the days of Ancient Rome, they had these communal toilets where people pooped together and discussed the events of the day, who decapitated who at the Colosseum and what was the latest rage in semi decayed food...  etc...  And after the pooping and BSing, the romans would clean their posterior orifices with a Xylospongium (or "Tersorium", depending on which ancient Roman you ask), which is basically a natural sea sponge on a stick.

    Okay, don't act shocked... this was Ancient Rome, and that was actually one of less gross things that was common... but don't worry, they didn't just chuck them out, they usually (usually) washed them in a bucket of salt water or vinegar... I'm not sure what they did with the vinegar afterwards, but I don't want to think about it either (that's not the origin of balsamic vinegar... or at least I don't think so...)... which is good, because that was like an early commitment to recycling... right? 
     

    In case you are wondering what they looked like...


    Anyway...

    A few days back when I was down at the beach, I came across a bunch of huge watermelon size chunks of natural sea sponges... which are quite common to see around here, usually after a storm or one of those crab Kaiju comes ashore. These things just sit on the beach and usually just dry up and blow off into the dunes where they eventually crumble into nothingness.

    They look something like this...

    Well... without the eyes... 

    So I was thinking... everyone is running out of toilet paper, and everyone is into natural products these days and what is more natural than "Sponge-On-A-Stick"?

    Its 100% recyclable... in fact if you just chucked it out the window when you were done, there is a 90% chance a seagull would swoop down and carry it off... at least that's what happens with French fries and chicken nuggets around here... but anyway, you could probably reuse Sponge-On-A-Stick, tens, if not elevens of times before it became too crusty... provided you had a big bucket of vinegar or salt water... 

    I know you are probably intrigued or mildly disgusted, but hear me out... I could make tons of money on this and some of that money could be yours... 

    Okay that wasn't a great argument, but it's 100% natural and it's made from soft sponges that died a peaceful natural death at the hands of Mother Nature... and the sticks would be made from natural stick wood, harvested naturally with chainsaws or dynamite...

    You are probably looking at that picture and saying "that's gross, it's full of sand and it looks like rotting kelp... but I am intrigued... tell me more..."

    Yes... it is full of sand, or as we in the Sponge-On-A-Stick industry like to call it "Silicate mirco-encapsulated power scrubbing nodules"... these tiny little grains of scrubbing power have been packed into every nook, cranny and pore on the sponge by Mother Nature herself using the patented action of tidal motion to drag the sponge back and forth zillions of times across the sand until the sponge is ready for use... And the rotting kelp thing is actually nature's way of ensuring it's soft, yet free of chemicals and harmful dyes that could hurt your bottom... not only that, but Sponge-On-A-Stick comes in "Rustic Beach", "Natural Seashore" and "Sun Dried Crab" scents that are each a unique and unparalleled olfactory experience.

    The moment your friends come over they'll all ask... "what's that smell" and you can say "Sponge-On-A-Stick".

    I hope I've you convinced because this is a potential gold mine for me and I know you people want me to have your money instead of the evil toilet paper cartels... Besides, if I don't get it someone else will... and if not them, what were you going to spend it on... Rent? Food?... ?

    You need to jump on this today before there are evil sponge cartels grabbing up all the sponges, stuffing them in bags and claiming "5 Ultra sponges = 625,000 regular sponges" when you know damn well they are the same damn sponges... you also need to stock up now before the next pandemic which I'm sure will involve zombies or vampire spores which will probably lead to disruptions in the supply chain and lots of sponge hoarding... and since toilet paper can't be found on the seashore (well not always)...( I did find some pants last time... but I'm not sure if they are man made or like natural sea pants)... (anyway)... 

    So there you have it... Sponge-On-A-Stick... and you can get in on the bottom level and be the first kids on the block to be scrubbing your booty with the wave of the future... 

    Get it... wave of the future... because it's a sponge and it comes from the sea and the sea has waves... eh, never mind... 

    Sponge-On-A-Stick... look for it in stores now!

    Well, soon... pretty soon... I'm kinda tired now and I don't feel like driving down to the beach and it's like getting late and the seagulls are always pecking me because my jacket smells like crabs... there's a legitimate reason for that, but it's a long story... hopefully I still remember about this tomorrow... but if you see Sponge-On-A-Stick in the stores, you definitely should buy it.

    Hey... you wanna see the pants I found?…

    Maybe a mermaid lost them... ?

    You are only going crazy if the goldfish talks back in a Scottish accent... and then it's really only "crazy" based on what version of reality you choose to accept...

    And it's definitely not if your goldfish is actually an ancient Highlander prince who's been eternally cursed to reside in the body of a goldfish because he flipped off some old hag who turned out to be an enchantress, and now he must wait until he can make up for his sins by changing someone's life for the better, which is why he is still a goldfish after 600 years... mostly because he keeps freaking people out and getting thrown out the window or flushed down the toilet...

    You know... give him a chance, listen to what he has to say...

    All I am getting is thanks for the fish food since I had practically just fed them.

    I can sometimes stomach a tuna steak or fish n' chips, but it's iffy. If I get even the slightest taste of game or actual fish, then nope nope nope. I can eat tuna from a can and tuna salad, provided it's solid white (meaning no fish taste). 

    I use 6 oz. chunk light tuna in a pouch for my tuna salad but it put a few other things in it.  Boiled eggs, Mayo, Yellow Mustard, Old Bay Seasnoing, Best Made/DelDixie Sweet Jalapino Relish, and sometimes, some green olive salad slices or grated red onion.  I miss going to Long John Silvers for fish and chips butn there are a lot ofm good seafood places in Galveston (thiough most are closed right now and take out seafood doesn't normally do well).  Thinking about frying up some Catfish if I can find some at the store.  And I love going to Red Lobster when tney are doing Endless Shrimp.

    Luckily I have lots of eggs (3 dozen) and about 8 pouches of Tuna (had them before all ths started as  part of my survival food storage)

    I'm glad you ask asked!
    Ummm...

    Sure!

    In fact there are literally thousands of uses for Sponge-On-A-Stick… none of which have been confirmed, thought out, tested, proven to be safe or even invented yet... but there are thousands of uses!

    And now exfoliating dead zombified skin is one of them!

    In fact I just thought of another use... placing used ones along the perimeter of one's property to prevent unwelcome visitors.

    See... the uses never end!

    This is all well and good but what if one doesn't have any vinegar? Could one soak these used sponge on a stick in the jar of pickles that no longer has any pickles in it but just the pickle juice? I am asking because a friend of mine got all hungry reading about all these postings of fish and we are waiting for the salmon to defrost. I ate them all (the pickles) when I opened my can of tuna that my cats came running for the moment I placed the can opener into the can so yeah. Oh, also my friend who just happens to be a nurse wants to know, would scrubbing various regions with these pickled sponges on a stick cause another zombie pickle lips?

    I'm not adding that to the list of thousands of uses... 

    Well... yet...

    Maybe I can work it into the history of Sponge-On-A-Stick... you know... for the investors pitch meeting.

    Investors love things with a rich history... so far all I got besides the obvious was that some time around 40 AD a Germanic gladiator committed suicide with a sponge on a stick (but not Sponge-On-A-Stick™... it's like totally safe*)... apparently he hid away in a lavatory area in an amphitheater and stuffed a sponge on a stick down his throat to choke himself to death... I'm assuming there weren't a lot of sharp objects available and he was in a real hurry.

    Maybe I'll leave that out...

    for now...

    I'm going to have to look into this and see what the research department says...

    Wait... 

    I am the research department...

    Ummmm... 

    Sure!
    One can soak a Sponge-On-A-Stick™ in virtually any substance known to man or woman and the results will be satisfactory every time!*

    Ah, yes, Long John Silver's greaseatorium.  I used to go there for lamp oil.  I'd just squeeze out a couple of fried somethings and ta-da, flamable lubricant.  It was my effort towards recycling the energy.

    Back 25-30 years ago when my body was functioning properly, LJS was a frequent stop for me.  (Mmmm, grease...) But now that my gall bladder only works in fits & starts, and fat digestion is only a distant memory, anything from LJS just slides right on through me. frown  That, and high quality ice cream too.crying

    We don't eat seafod other than frozen shrimp once in a while, so that's a non-issue for us (my hubby could eat fish every day but try as I might, I just can't do it...nope). 

    Two words, Crab Cakes heart

    He loves them but nope for me. I can eat fried clam strips (definitely NOT whole belly) and shrimp, lobster and crab lets, but that's pretty much it. I've tried to force myself to eat fish because I know how healthy it is, but it's just dayum nasty. 

    not even big fish like butterfish, flake, tuna, gummy shark, I cannot eat small fish because of the bones, big fish have big bones so easy to avoid yes

    can be made into patties too enlightened

    I can sometimes stomach a tuna steak or fish n' chips, but it's iffy. If I get even the slightest taste of game or actual fish, then nope nope nope. I can eat tuna from a can and tuna salad, provided it's solid white (meaning no fish taste). 

    I use 6 oz. chunk light tuna in a pouch for my tuna salad but it put a few other things in it.  Boiled eggs, Mayo, Yellow Mustard, Old Bay Seasnoing, Best Made/DelDixie Sweet Jalapino Relish, and sometimes, some green olive salad slices or grated red onion.  I miss going to Long John Silvers for fish and chips butn there are a lot ofm good seafood places in Galveston (thiough most are closed right now and take out seafood doesn't normally do well).  Thinking about frying up some Catfish if I can find some at the store.  And I love going to Red Lobster when tney are doing Endless Shrimp.

    Luckily I have lots of eggs (3 dozen) and about 8 pouches of Tuna (had them before all ths started as  part of my survival food storage)

    Olives are the devil. >.>

    But they're SO GOOD.........

    Specially with a glass of Gin.laugh

    Martini, make it a triple. Gin, not vodka, obviously, navy strength perferred. Stirred for 10 seconds while glancing at an unopened bottle of vermouth.  Add 1 tablespoon of olive brine to make it dirty and add 3 olives for garnish.  Enjoy

    You just reminded me - I need to get some fish out of the freezer for dinner this evening.    Eeeny Meeny Miney MO,  which shall I choose.

    ...going to be making my normal Friday Cajun rock fish with garlic and tarragon roasted red potato wedges(soaking the potatoes right now), and buttered mini carrots in a bit.

    Hubby and I freshly caught these this morning. 8 - 10 inch rainbow trout &1 - 14 inch fresh water salmon caught off the furnace creek that runs off in the back of our property.

    I'm going to clean and bone them out. bread them in corn meal and fry them in sunflower oil,  serve with them  new baby potatoes and canned green beans I put myself up last fall.  with homemade sweet bread

    So lucky we are able to live like this, we had such a good time this morning catching this string of fish and seeing all the wildlife this morning.

    ...mmm would look mighty tasty in the skillet.  I miss fishing for trout, perch, and walleye up north in Wisconsin. .The only decent trout fishing where I am now is in the eastern part the state and Idaho. Wouldn't eat anything that comes out of the "Willamette cesspool" and am allergic to salmon which is the major fish out here in Oregon (sort of like being lactose intolerant and living in Wisconsin).

    I'm not that concerned about the bones in gummy sharks, because they are mostly gummy also... my big problem is the bag they come in... it's not gummy... and apparently a choking hazard if you try to eat it.

    I used to enjoy gummy animals, but after I was mauled by a gummy bear, I was kinda soured on the experience... it wasn't much of a mauling being it was made of gelatin, but it was the principle of the matter... That, and after finding out the gummy rat I ate was actually just a regular rat in lime jello, that was it for me and the gummy experience...

     


    Yeah, I know Gummy Sharks are actually tasty real fish Mustelus Antarcticus, or "Flake", "Australian Smooth Hound", "Smooth Willy" or "Yummy Dog-Shark"... (those last two might not be accurate)... I was just being facetious.

     

    ..I've actually had real shark.  Very nice, no bones.
