As for myself, I need to go shopping and do more cooking. Supposedly the farms and supply chains are faltering, so now I think is the time to lay in supplies.

Hey thanks for clarifying!

You too - be safe. Stay well.

I'm just being nosy.

Here in SoCal testing is abysmally behind the realities (especially since " ===> March 21, 2020 LACounty eliminates testing on most potential COVID-19 patients."). So I have no trust in the numbers of 'cases'. And being a person-at-risk, I definitely try to protect myself by staying at home as much as possible, and when I go out, by wearing a mask, and sanitizing my hands often, but always immediately on entering the house. If one can get past this without catching anything, I hope to be in that group.

Hi BRENDA.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I personally would not be out and about without at least a procedure mask

the kind that doctors and surgeon wear when they don't want to infect you, if not a full-on N95 respirator

the kind you want to wear when YOU don't want to breathe anything in!

Procedure masks provide about 65% protection, N95 respirators about 90%. If you don't have many,and must re-use

How to sanitize your mask: 175F in preheated oven for 30 minutes

r-masks-safely

If you don't have any, how to make your own mask

I personally don't even walk the dog without a surgical mask, and won't go shopping without a respirator. I have a few leftover at home from gardening and home renovation, which I keep santizing and re-using.

Just keep burning them down. Sooner of later all the root energy stores get used up, and they piddle off to nowhere-land.

So they say! but these little buggers have a bulblet just under the ground, they have a LOT of root energy to spare!

One thing about the weed torch: if you don't mind starting a little fire and your neighbors won't freak out ... and you have a hose handy ... the weeds you wilted and dried out last week you can burn up this week for a quick cleanup.


Tomorrow will be mowing the back lawn and selective spraying, and after that a little gutter -cleaning bc one downspout seems to be clogged, prolly pine needles. After that, the rains come and I collapse.

That sounds good! But unfortunately, because of all the sodium, it's off limits for me. (If I WERE to have a hot dog, though, I personally am in favor of baked hot dogs where the outside gets browned and the hot dog gets a little chewy.)

OTOH I DID just have my own lunch, which was an individually portioned and frozen crustless 'pie' made of ground turkey, onions, lots and lots of kale, potatoes (cubed into smallish pieces), feta cheese and lemon juice - and whipped eggs and ricotta as a binder. It's one of my favorite recipes!

I remember now, you mentioned earlier about acid foods and your seizure medication.

I hear you on the allergy part! I spent years itching all over, all day, every day, due to food allergies. But I didn't know what was causing my itching. When I finally got allergy-tested and found out what foods I was allergic to, and stopped eating those things, I was SO relieved to find that stopped the dratted infernal itching!

In any case, I hope you have a good Easter.

I think my heart just melted a little.

I looked out my front door a minute ago and saw something written on the walkway a few feet away from my steps. It took me a minute to figure out what it said, but in childlike handwriting in chalk it said...

"We Got This"

Are people wearing masks?

Because if not, they probably don't.
