My first virus prep grocery trip in Jan. was for the furbabies. Priorities, man, priorities.

I have never bought into the idea of me paying them for the privilege of them taking my money. Nope, nope and never will. Besides, the two times I used someone else’s card, the purchased item was damaged and prices were higher than the local grocery.

Your cat will be OK.

Your shoes may smell like cat pee for a while though.

Guess where those who are in panic mode get the coronavirus.

“I have never bought into the idea of me paying them for the privilege of them taking my money.”

Same here. Also pretty much why I don’t have Amazon prime, except when they give it as a free trial offer for a month.

Did that. His come back is that those under 65 getting it, have lung damage that will affect them later in life.

Could be true.

My point as well is that stem cell approaches in the future are very likely to provide ‘repair’ option for those very same damaged lungs.

Check the delivery person’s temp and check under his finger nails to see if he’s washed his hands any time this week. Ask him if gal who bagged up the lettuce and tomatoes was coughing. Use your own stylus to sign for the delivery.

“Real drop”

There gets a point that a ship won’t sail half full.

I had a (male) cat who would select MY shoes for peeing when he was upset with something.

I still loved him.

But visit to the vet? Shoes were in danger for a week or so after...

The Shopper and delivery person are one and the same. And I’m not planning on having carnal knowledge of her. But I am washing hands when handling the grocery - pretty much all cans and other dry goods. No produce. No confirmed cases in my neck of the woods.

$4.99 get you a 3 lb chicken that’s cold by the time you get home.

Walmart has 10 lb. bags of leg quarters for $4.94. It’s takes all of 90 seconds to sprinkle lemon pepper on them, put them in the oven at home and they’re piping hot at dinner time. No dried out breast meat or bony wings and saving your wallet more than $11.

Tip for saving $ on hot wings. When roasting whole chickens, cut off the raw wings and continuously add more to a wing baggie in the freezer. Eventually, there will be enough for a batch of hot wings. Hot wings are much more tasty and not dried out as when roasted.

Actually never had a problem with cold roasted chicken, I’m just minutes from the supermarket and when I get home it usually doesn’t have much time to get cold!
