:mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: Too funny! Yep, the grocery stores are sure making it into a treasure hunt now in trying find the hot necessity items. Just because Easter season is around the corner ... so glad when I purchased eggs 3 days ago ALL 12 eggs were still inside the 1 carton! Tonight I was able to complete the on-line 2020 census questionnaire with my iPad. I wasn’t sure if I needed a mouse to complete the form but it worked so all is well. I’m cracking up with the use of shiny magazines! And the limes disease corona joke. :good: Very funny! Lol! You all are too funny!!!! Good stuff here! Humor done for the right reasons and in the right way indeed can be considered a God send. Sadly, the world has even perverted the gift of Humor. TR Very true. Well, anybody who has high blood pressure just needs to read over this entire thread and you are guaranteed to have a perfecto reading. Ok Yohanan ... you are late for this party ... glad to see you finally showed up ... better late than never. :stinkerbell: Who knew the last days were going to be a cross between Max Headroom and Mr. Haney from Green Acres? David, daarrling - it’s so true! Or how about “Willis - whas you talkn bout?” I ventured out to the big Kroger this am, thought I’d be smart and go early, but even at 0730 (guess that’s now considered late shopping), there were lots of folks, only one young kid (20-30 age range) with a mask on, gloves, and googles of some sort (maybe that’s a new hip look -Geri). Anyway, I digress again....very surprised, no one talked or so much as looked at each other, moved through the store at a rapid pace, picking up items, we seemed to be the only ones without TP (got my stack of newspapers and magazines ready), digressing again....the meat section was bare, seriously bare, lots of veggies and fruits(healthy stuff), cleaning and paper isles bare....funny thing missing was all the jazzy ride chairs I have seen in years gone by, no extremely overweight folks out either, maybe they venture out at different times?... thoughts? Anyway, we just zipped in, moved through like grease lightening, did self checkout, got home in - washed hands, put groceries away, washed hands again, all under 45 min, included the 5 min drive there and back - that must be some sort if new world shopping record for getting a weeks worth of supplies. :yahoo: Zippity doo da, zippity day :good: Ok Yohanan … you are late for this party … glad to see you finally showed up … better late than never. Silly! I started this thread! :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: Definitely be sure to wash your hands after using the self check out line. I read a report once that showed how nasty the touch screens are. In every store the author went into and analysed, 100% of the touch screens had evidence of fecal matter. I've never used one since! One way to stock up with food is to order take out. It is more expensive but if you just cannot find certain items at the store, you can still get them through restaurants. Okay, I might have expected a contaminated screen following an orangutan doing a scan of his banana bunches, but 100% is surprising. I was chuckling when David mention “Green Acres” because one year while staying at the villa at Myrtle Beach their tv service was just basic cable ... so it was the “Nick at Night” Chanel with a marathon worth of “Green Acres”. My mom and I used to stay up very late and were enjoying the reruns while doing our counted cross stitch needlework. Couldn’t get the goofy theme song out of our minds the next morning while eating breakfast at the restaurant. She would faithfully mess up the words and I had to correct her and my dad would just give us both weird looks. I said see what you’re missing by going to sleep too early?! Also thought of my college freshman year. I was in a room with 3 juniors - yep, they really packed us in those rooms like sardines. One roommate used to be Amish from PA but her parents were shunned because her mom was pregnant before they married. So they were kicked out of town and they eventually settled in Minnesota where the land was very cheap and her dad started up a pig farm. She informed me her older brother used to attend college here as well. He was in marketing classes where he met his future wife. She walked around the campus like she was the cats meow. Came from money and was a town student. She said she was a good looking blond, wore expensive clothes and diamond and other gem jewelry and she drove around in her parent’s Mercedes. All the guys flipped over her but she had eyes for her brother. He was smart to keep his aspirations to himself and waited for her to fall in love with him before he finally revealed he dream plans ... to take over his dad’s pig farm. She was shell shocked at first ... but slooooowly came around to the idea since love won. Well ... I went back out to the grocery store only to get some waffle cut Cape Cod chips and Cherry Coke soda. Wasn’t expecting to see drama but here goes ... while waiting in line a young cop was in front of me placing his items on the conveyor belt. Bought a lot of food - over $150.00 worth. He was very chatty with the cashier while she scanned the items he was quickly bagging. He was flirty with her and she must have lost her concentration as she was helping him bag. He took off and she didn’t realized he NEVER PAID for his food until I gave her my store discount card to scan and she saw the computer screen with the total still on display for processing! She quickly ran out of the store to the parking lot to drag him back inside. Meanwhile I moved over to another cashier. He eventually came back in to pay and then left. I noticed he never apologized so I asked her was he embarrassed and did he At least apologize while in the parking lot? She said nope, nothing fazed him at all. Gotta love those masonic cops ... crooked as can be. Eh?
