OMG, Julie, how can you be so stupid.

Your area has 700 new cases of covid since Christmas.

Bear in mind that record keeping is probably reduced during the

Nothing like a good bowl of rooster pecker stew. (with a slice of bread

No wonder you laugh at stupid Americans. So many of us are.

This is why I always defended Trump for not warning everyone to wear
masks and stay home every chance you get. Not fair to blame him for the
many deaths in this country. Even if he had done that...still so many
idiots would have ignored the warnings just like they do now.

In a fair world, it's the idiots that ignore the warnings that should be
the ones that die, not the "collateral damage" that they cause by
spreading the virus.

Younger generations? Julie is 61. You appear to be assuming Julie's
"new guy" is a lot younger than she is.

Carol, are you nuts or totally niaeve? Part time delivery drivers who
only work when they feel like it (might want to visit Julie instead!)
aren't being offered offered healthcare benefits, sick time or vacation
days so they can drop in and heat up crappy food in Julie's microwave.
During a pandemic lockdown. Even though he has his own place to live
and at least (as far as we know) a rice pot.

Her last boyfriend was allegedly allergic to cats and also couldn't come
over because of the lockdown. Now this new guy can come in and use the
microwave and hey, he's not allergic to cats. You can't see this for
what it is?

I would love to see some of those Tanzania recipes. The only African
food I've had was some really nice homemade Ethoipian Injera bread with
a nicely spiced lamb and vegetable stew. Delicious!

Julie is trying to impress someonw she barely knows. Her last
"boyfriend" was allergic to cats. This is a new guy. Gotta wonder
where she's finding them during a pandemic lockdown.

Are you thinking of Chatty Cathy? The woman who participated in chat
and used to post fun RFC survey questions here? She wasn't "African".

I've had Ethiopian lunch here a few times. Generally known as "fasting"
here in Virginia.

Ethiopian food is great. I had it in Montreal whenever we went to
visit my son there and I had it in Ottawa earlier this year. If there
were an Ethiopian restaurant around here I would be a regular.

Don't be a dick.

Ethiopian cooking is reckoned to be the most highly developed cuisine
in sub-Saharan Africa.

We used to have two Ethiopian restaurants in town. Unfortunately,
now we're down to one.

Trump's one of the idiots. Especially if you have a high percentage of
idiots in your population (73 million), you want a president who sets
the right example, instead of adding to the stupidity.

I was on their cooking email list for a while. One of the writers was
incredibly irritating, probably top 10 most irritating food writers of

The numbers can not be believed. There are cases of double reporting. Also,
I personally know many people who went from negative to positive to
negative, never having any symptoms whatever. And people who never once
tested positive, but had all the symptoms. I believe very little that the
mainstream media reports. A traffic backup or a car wreck? Yes. I can see
the proof there. KIRO radio (our Covid source) is reporting that cases are
down. Even if it is 700 new cases, that's nothing. Snohomish county
encompasses a very large area

When I was younger, I was constantly sick. Cold, flu, ear and sinus
infections.

Then one day after we moved back to this area, that all stopped. I can't
remember the last time I had a cold. Angela and I had something that seemed
like flu but wasn't, that year that the 3D Miley Cyrus movie/concert was
showing. We were so sick, we didn't want to go, but my then husband insisted
as I'd purchased the tickets long prior and they were very expensive. The
Dr. finally put us on an an antibiotic three weeks into it and we got
better.

I have had two ear infections, both fungal in nature. Diabetics are prone to
those. And one case of pneumonia that was presumed to really be legionnaires
disease. I had been given an essential oil diffuser and I believe that the
oils were not pure. I tried it twice. Both times, it made my lungs hurt. So
I threw it and the oils out. Legionaries disease comes from water mist. Sure
it could have come from those misters in the grocery store but I'll bet you
dollars to donuts that it was from my gift.

In other words, I have a good immune system and no longer get things that
are going around. I'm taking the recommended turmeric, zinc and D3. I'm not
worried. I am still minimizing contact with lots of people. Such as going to
the grocery store. I will continue to get deliveries and walk into a store
only when need be. Our lockown is supposed to end on Jan. 4. We'll see.

You know what's funny in a sad sort of way? This post was made about food.
Wasn't me who veered. Many others took this to nasty land.

Soon it will all be a moot point as I highly doubt I'll put a news server on
my new computer. And the day I take this one offline will be soon.

Right. Personally I don't think the masks do a damned bit of good. One of my
Drs. said he found that people were wearing worn out ones with holes or even
poking holes in them so they could breathe better. I do wear them though.
Not going to risk being punched or shot at.

He's 56. So close to my age.

I never ever said I was on a severely limited budget. I am on fixed income.
And I certainly never said I was supporting a mooch.

The only person I ever called a mooch was a roommate from many years ago. He
even called himself that. He was very generous when he had money. He would
get me gifts then, like a very expensive orchid plant that I managed to kill
almost immediately. Or take me out for fancy dinners. The man was just no
good with money. He'd be generous, then have nothing. Got to where when we
(me and other friends) visited him, we'd bring food and drinks because he
never had any. He did lead a colorful lifestyle and was fun to be around, so
we just accepted that he was in fact a mooch, and we didn't see him very
often.

You don't have a news server. You have a client application. You're an
idiot.

Don't wait to go offline. Leave now. You're an idiot.

Please show proof where I said, "Severely limited budget" and "mooch".

My food tastes tend to run to the cheaper things, like beans and rice. Once
in a while I will buy expensive olives, butter or cheese or some kind of not
in season vegetable that is pricey. But most of my food choices, even when
dining out and someone else is paying for the meal, are cheap. I don't do
that because I have to. That's just what I want to eat.

I also almost always buy clearance clothing. I might make an exception for
some fancy event, but generally not. The way I dress is either Bohemian or
yoga pants and tunic.I pay little mind to what is "in". I know what I like
and I can almost always find it for a very good price.I have always been
this way with clothing. I just can't see paying $75 for a top when I can
find one I like just as well for $20.

I don't wear makeup. I don't think I need it. I do wear nail polish. I do
wear perfume. Some of my perfume *is* expensive. Some is not.

I don't wear expensive jewelry as I am good at losing it. But I might go all
out for a quality cat perch.

I don't deny myself things.

Those are just sifr jobs to make extra money. He as a full time job, M-F.
Just like you and I do surveys to make a little extra. I made $10 last night
in the form of an Amazon gift card.

The last guy wasn't even the guy with the cat allergy. But both of those two
put in zero effort as far as I'm concerned. The last one started out well,
giving me roses on our first date. If you can call it a date. We had to meet
in the Central Market parking lot as so much is closed here.

Would you continue on with a guy who dropped out of your life for three
months, then came back said, "You're probably pretty mad at me..." Or
another who you haven't seen in person for two months, makes no effort to
see you, but every 2-3 weeks, sends a "Wyd?" message. They've had enough
chances. Cat allergy guy is trying to get me back now. Nope. Don't need
that.

New guy made promises to me at the start and so far has kept all of them.

I know people here are going to make all sorts of things out of this.
Nothing I can do about that. That's the way you are.

Thus, in this context, Carol's statement about "younger generations"
doesn't really mean anything.

I found who I refer to as "The Three Amigos" on the Facebook dating app. D.
found me on Plenty Of Fish. I reactivated my account because I was bored and
thought I'd find someone to talk to. I did. A guy whose dad worked with my
dad. I found him to be boring though. Then D. contacted me. We met the next
day in a parking lot. Again, because so few places were open. We hit it off
right away. Lots of stuff in common. He has two cats. Great personality.
Makes me laugh. I make him laugh. Couldn't be better.

Yes, there is a pandemic but... People who are married or live with their
BF/GF can see their other half every day. Kind of un fair to the rest of us
who are supposed to stay home and see no one. I got sick of it. People
aren't meant to be hermits.

Ethiopian cuisine is not the same as Tanzanian.
