I like them just fine for the most part but if it isn't falling apart, they just taste off. Good most of the time but very hit and miss. Link to post Share on other sites

smackie9 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I work, I eat, have a few beers, watch Dr. Phil, go to sleep, wash rinse repeat. Oh and listen to my husband complain about his coworkers lol. All this talk of food is making me hungry. BBQ tonight. Burgers with grilled mushrooms and onions! M! As for changes, no traffic, no airplane traffic, so much quieter, peaceful, the air is fresher....it's kinda nice not having so many people around. Link to post Share on other sites
skywriter Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I've been cleaning out my closet.UGH! I've gone through clothes and if I haven't worn it in a year, it's going away from my house, ....eventually. I've hated every minute of the task, but, I am liking the results, all organized and neat. My very Virgo boyfriend, just stands back and says things like, "it's about time". blah, blah, blah.... Then I've drug out just one big pile of my huge album collection and played my records on the turntable. That was fun! I've worked in the yard, oh my Iris's are looking so beautiful! I've been spraying bifen I/T for the ants, all around the house and yard. I've been on that damn bowflex, I have a hate relationship with that machine! I have watched some movies that my boyfriend asked me to sit and watch, please don't ask the name cause I haven't a clue. I'm finally getting where I'll be still and watch a movie.Then just the normal stuff, cleaning up the house, and cooking meals, oh and aggravating my sweetheart 😉 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Ellener Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I spend a lot of time wandering the fields and meadows and talking to my dog! Got a couple of errands to run today, everythng is drive-through here though so pretty easy. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Lemming Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 This morning I started trying to source the items I need to get the Evaporative Cooler up and running. In the extended weather forecast, the weather people are calling for temperatures near 90. It won't be long before its hot and my girlfriend will start complaining about the heat. Home Depot has free shipping on orders over $45, so I'm trying to think about home improvement supplies I'm going to need over the next month and add the Evaporative Cooler items to that order. I think this "stay at home" order will continue long into the summer months. Link to post Share on other sites

hippychick3 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I’m working from home, eating, watching Netflix, eating, and did I mention I’m eating? Having vegan junk food in my house for my daughter is going to be the death of me. I have zero motivation to eat healthy past lunch time. Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Lemming Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 7 hours ago, Ellener said: Tell us about the evaporative cooler!! My room gets boiling here and the a/c barely reaches it.... An evaporative cooler uses water to cool the outside air by blowing the air across a wet pad or core, that cooler air is then blown (via fan) into the house/apartment/room. You keep another door or window open (a few inches) on the opposite end of the area being cooled (away from the evaporative cooler incoming vent) and the air is exchanged in the house/apartment/room, thus you are exchanging hot air (in the area) for fresh cool air. An evaporative cooler uses only about 25% of the electricity used by a traditional A/C unit. It is much cheaper to operate. It only works in areas of low humidity (like the desert climate I live in). Evaporative coolers do require a bit more cleaning than a traditional Air Conditioning system, which can easily be accomplished with some old rags or a sponge. The supplies required to run an evaporative cooler are much cheaper and any basic DIY'er can easily do the maintenance and cleaning required. The units are quite simple and don't hurt the environment as they have no refrigerant that can damage the ozone layer, just water and air. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
amaysngrace Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 So today I pulled down my kitchen curtains, washed them pressed them and back up they went. I killer cleaned my kitchen with Clorox bleach spray, cleaned the windows, the fridge, the floors...then decorated for Easter. It looks fantastic! I also put a lit candle in a mason jar outside my front door to honor our present day heroes. 💗 3 Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Good on you, Amaysn! I did f**kall. First day with no work and I'm already bored to tears. It's going to be raining the next week all week and won't even be able to go outside. I've got enough introvert in me to weather sheltering in place better than most, but boredom is going to be the problem and also I'm afraid I'm going to get really stiff and sore from laying around too much. I'm going to have to make myself stay up more just to keep from getting pneumonia or something. I may recover a chair. And I could certainly finished my taxes. And I might have a bit more work, which is my fondest hope. Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be super-fit anyway... Wish I had a proper home- people who do don't know how lucky you are ( I know, I took it all for granted too for years ) just come in, close the door and relax. Saying that, I'm sure there are plenty of people with a home who have unhappy home circumstances which are super-challenging now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
gaius Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I can't work from home and my company has to stay open so I'm still out and about. Usually trying to avoid infection whenever possible. This morning I was headed to use the bathroom in one of our buildings, but as soon as I went in I heard loud coughing from the hallway to it. Immediately did a u-turn and headed back outside. Made other pee arrangements instead. Link to post Share on other sites

I have no symptoms that I might be sick but still find myself telling myself not to cough or clear my throat when I'm around others. It's almost like yelling fire in a crowded theater at this point.

I came home to a passive-aggressive note on the door 'you have a cough now' ( I don't ) 'so please disinfect doorknobs'! House-share friend gave me a drunken lecture then broke into paroxysms of coughing...( 'my allergies' ) Maybe she's feeling ill herself, she hasn't looked well for days, she was the one who went to a St Pat's Parade and party when everything was shutting down and the pandemic had been announced. I've not been within six feet of her since and I deep-clean the place. She won't remember the conversation tomorrow, but it's fine by me if we stay well apart, I'm super-solitary by nature! 🙂 I might self-isolate forever after all this ⛔ A bluebird flew right up to me today out in the woods...the world is so quiet now I can just hear nature 🌳 Edited April 2, 2020 by Ellener wording 2 Link to post Share on other sites
