But if you are your own boss you have it so easy.....

I actually used to hear that from people.

It was maddening.

The problem with being your own boss is that when things get messed up, you don’t get to blame someone else! ;-)

I checked my BMI (after I posted that).

I can’t lose too much more, or I go down to that “underweight” level. I would like to lose a few more lbs, tho.

Snarky reporterette just asked about the CDC homemade masks/bandana issue.

“Isn’t this unacceptable??”

What a bubble head.

“Unfortunately many of these folks were never taught personal financial fitness.”

Even stupid people can figure it out intuitively.

These people don’t care. They will cross that bridge when it falls on them.

It would be impossible to convince me these folks didn’t know what they were doing.

Lucky you.

I’ve got a ways to go. Still, I’m down about 70 from my biggest and holding there.

A1C is good too, no HBP either.

Chris Martenson had a lengthy discussion about masks and what they can and cannot do.

He made the case that any protection is better than no protection (”the perfect is the enemy of the good”) because a lower viral load is better than a higher one, and a lower viral load gives your immune system a better chance to fight it.

fwiw—I am not an expert on this stuff...

One of my (dark triad) extended family relatives (not the ‘i’ll get my milk and you can’t stop me’ relative) has bragged about not really prepping, he’ll just take what he needs...

No worries about the virus. Acute lead poisoning is more likely with that attitude.

I had an assistant. Lenny. No one ever saw him. He was an idiot. Every time something bad happened..it was Lenny’s fault. When I retired, I think he died. He might still be in my office. I never checked.

He has been warned about that.

In the country, every granny has a loaded mossberg behind the door. She’s liable to unload it in the direction of the commotion and figure all that out once it’s daylight.

🙌🏻

That is awesome.

You'll do it.

Bacon and eggs have become my staple.

I just boiled eggs (remember...I'm the one who bought SEVERAL Costco BOXES of eggs, over a month ago....froze most), yesterday.

Will eat as snacks and am going to make some tuna salad, for lunch.

Hubby being at home, full time, these days is putting a load on the food demands :)

I told him this isn't the diner.

Thank you - yes we've been reading about that. I'm O positive and so far so good. I'm fighting something off but it sounds different from what he went through. He had just a day or two of an intense headache and malaise. He was exposed last Tuesday and this hit him on Saturday-Sunday. He conferred with his co-worker who tested positive and was told he felt the exact same way except his ordeal has lasted much longer. 113 posted on 3/19/2020, 12:21:45 PM by RubyR

LOL. Having to ‘cook’ lunch as well as supper 7 days a week instead of just 2 is taxing my cooking imagination.

I make a low carb/keto version of english muffin that takes a dozen eggs. Wheee. They go fast that way.

The under 60 age group percentages are alarming. I hope this thing gets defeated soon. It’s looking ominous for us Georgians.

Not too happy going to the grocery stores for fresh produce. I wear a mask and gloves when out and about. It’s still a trip with certain nervousness. I do not want to bring anything back to the family.
