    Erhmm BTW. Could you people please reach an agreement with regards to what animal or being will take over the world.

    I suspect you haven't noticed it yet, but it has already happened.

    Cats.

    True for goldfish too.  My goldfish love to beg for food.

     FYI the virus lives on carboard 24-72 hours. Which makes me wonder if I order a takeout of a pizza, that according to a large francise, isn't touched once it leaves the oven, how does it get in the box, and in the vehicle, and to your door?

    You appear to be thinking about the box, whereas the franchise seems to be referring to the actual pizza.  Once the pizza is out the oven, the employee angle the pan so the pizza slides off the pan straight into the box.  The employee then slice the pizza holding the cutter only.

    ..but the box still has to assembled by hand as they are shipped and stored flat to save space.

    That's why we need more robots. LOL. I'm waiting for one that will clean the reconstruction dust caused by the demo and repairs to three rooms and a garage ceiling. I can write words on any surface in this house, without using a pen, pencil or marker. YES - I have skills and a magic finger!

    We get the 'Demand Purr', as we call it, daily. OK, Multiple times a day. And it works. Mostly. Except when it comes 30 seconds after the last issue of food.

    I just ate 3 Cherry Blossom bars......... just delicious for an extended period.

    Yes, I am on here way too much, reading a lot.

    and I just love how some of the animals get along together.

    OH MY GOD!!  
    THEY'VE FORMED AN ALLIANCE!!
    THE PROPHECIES HAVE COME TRUE!!

    .Herbivores usually get along, its the carnivores that cause most the problems.

    That's just herbivore propaganda... it's a ploy to lull you into a false sense of security. 

    I've seen some pretty sleezy goats, and a really nasty cow now and then..... strangely, the media will not say a word about it.

    That's right!  Some herbivores are faking it.  One of my sons told me that many are "opportunistic carnivores".  He then supplied me with video links (YouTube and others) showing deer, cows, squirrels, etc. eating dead mammals.  They are sneaky.  They try not to leave witnesses.  While you are practicing Social Isolation, don't trust your livestock.  Don't fall asleep outside!

    ...I've seen a few where deer actually eat live birds as well as beat people up..

    Fear the Deer. those big brown eyes are just a ruse. 

    Driving to work one morning in the winter (a few years ago) I had to slow down to a crawl as I was passing through a stretch of road where I counted 11 moose, all totally calm, some standing up on a small hill, some on the road, some resting on the ground.... each had a rocket propelled grenade. I was sweating bullets. Thank God the truce held. For some years now, we have had an on again, off again insurgency with the moose and beaver (they have been blocking roads with their dams flooding areas, then ambush the guys sent to repair rhe roads)..... though strangely, again there have been no reports in the media. No one goes outside of the cities here. We have gone back to ships supplying communities along the coast.

    Cherry Blossoms were my second favorite treat. The giant single one in the square yellow box. My favorite was Hostess Hickory Sticks have occasionally bought a 64 pack box via Amazon.

    *This is dark sarcastic humor and not based on or implied that it is fact*

    So we replace humans with robots in order to prevent the spread of germs, then have a global pandemic in order to control the out of work people so that wo can complain more about replacing more jobs with roblots to have another pandemic and thus leaving the world to the robots. Sounds like Skynet found a way to take care of the humans without resorting to nuclear holocost.

    Skynet happens to be a type of communications spacecraft based on the Eurostar 3000 chassis. All Skynet chassis panels in the last 17 years have been transported in a box I designed. Not many people know that. I doubt if many people care, either.

    On Monday, a spokesperson for the royal issued an update regarding the 71-year-old’s health, saying: “Clarence House has confirmed today that, having consulted with his doctor, The Prince of Wales is now out of self-isolation”.

    I'm the same age as Charles (within a couple of days).  My mother several times during my life told the story that when she was heavily pregnant with me she heard a radio broadcast (long time ago, radio, not TV) that the Queen took a walk in her garden.  "Well, big shit", my mother said, "I was out weeding my garden today."  (I paraphrase of course).devil

    Whenever I want to freak myself out over how old I am, I just look at a picture of Charles.indecision

    Rule #1 for Internet and Social Media: don't believe anything that comes without a source given.

    Rule #1a: "They say..", "People say..", "I've read somewhere.." and other statements like that aren't a source.

    +1

    I would add, if you're starting a sentence with 'I heard...' Really? It's possible to hear anything and everything if you listen long enough.

    Take the couple who took fish tank cleaner; that's what happens when you go off hearsay and advice from those who are not scientists.

    Well, made it out to Trader Joe’s. It was all really civilized. They only let in about 20 people into the store at a time and had people wait outside 6 feet apart even putting blue tape on the ground like they do to hit marks on a movie set. Unfortunately it seems that at least three stores in the mall, including the restaurant to the right where I just ate two weeks ago, are all out of business! They were fully stocked except rice and pasta (but had quinoa and quinoa spaghetti which is actually much healthier!) 

    Came home and washed the packages of the food I was going to eat right away for 20 seconds with soap, put my clothes in a laundry bag and jumped in the shower to wash my hair. I’m decontaminating as if I just walked into an ICU filled with Covid-19 patients! 

    Never been so happy to eat an organic spinach salad with sunflower seeds in my life! Now for some mango!

    Which TJ's?

    Sainsburys supermarkets in the UK are now restricting customers to 3 of any food item, and 2 of any toiletries item. Evidently, if people won't behave reasonably, they have to be forced into it.

    And my cats are volubly telling me that they need more than 3 boxes of food as there are 2 of them  and their human only shops once a fortnight online  

    must be a cat thing. like, all over the place right now. sensing panic or seeing the future... i was srsly freaking out because we were at high risk to end up empty-handed very soon (yeah, no reserves and weeks of delivery wait) - so i was writing emails and calling around to organize free-ish cat food, and suddenly my cats started claiming more than their usual rations, whining more than usual. either they're spying on me when i do phone calls, or they're reading my emails while i sleep ...

    Funny day today. at work we ordered an extra shipment of toilet paper and bottled water for employees to purchase if needed along with our normal shipment. When I got off I picked some up (2 24 packs) along with a few other things before heading home. Needless to say, the shipment we got for the shelves was selling fast and by the time I got off it was empty, So as I cruised around the store with it in my buggy EVERYONE was asking where I got it. As I was waiting in line to check out, the girl in front of me asked if there was anymore, I replied I didn't think so and she looked really sad as did her 2 young daughters (around 5 yrs old). I felt kinda bad so I gave them one of my 24 packs, amazing how toilet paper seemed to make their day. Then as I am going to my car a guy pulls up beside me in a high end BMW and asked if they had more toilet paper inside in which I replied again I don't think so. Then he offers me $100 for the 24 pack I had. I was like "seriously?".

    Needless to say I didn't come home with any toliet paper today, LOL

    you'd be amazed what can make your day.. these days. this morning i realized that in the online supermarket where i get my things, not only the monthly order i was about to make (1 month food for 11 cats & myself, as usual, since i live in a shopless village with no car AND am now in the risk group to boot so i stay home) would need 3 weeks to be delivered, but probably wouldn't be accepted at all cuz over 2 weeks wait, the bank doesn't keep the reserved amount and cancels the order.. AND i also realized that the order supposed to come tomorrow fill my empty fridge/cupboard had just been canceled, for the same reason. i was like wtf wtf wtf what am i gonna do. luckily someone mailed me a local list of volunteers, and this guy i've never seen in my life basically went to the shop supermarket 2 villages further, bought all he could find from my big list himself and brought it here, i just had to pay him back by iban! wow fantastic! those are heroes!

    and then, having only been eating rice+noodles for weeks for other reasons, i FINALLY got to eat a pizza - the cheapest brand possible, but gawd, it was excellent! best pizza evar! this really made my day! (well, the whole shopping stunt too ofc, lol, but hey, pizza)

    They said it was enough to wear a face mask and gloves should you need to go buy basic groceries. Yeah, right. I felt like a fool in the shop, because everyone else had trousers and a shirt too.

    Not to press a fine point here but anything said by a politician in a press conference is political.  Well, at least <someone> will make it political.  Even if just to point out that if a politician's mouth is open, it's political.surprise  

  • Don't forget the toilet paper, if you can find any.

    I found that cat litter works well. I bought enough for a year.
