That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
Then s dirty a bottom it is.
Actually I do realize that a dirty bottom is nothing in comparison to people who are sick or dying but it's stupid (and real) and I really hate stupid.
@Anna - possibly Target or Walmart online? Or similar. Not that you already didn't know this. An Aldi's I went to this a.m. had a stack.Thanks, I tried both last night and didn't find anything. I did order 12 bamboo biodegradable rolls from Amazon t…
I'm near the epicenter and the biggest problem today is no toilet paper anywhere, even Amazon. If a rumor started about a supply of tp, crowds would probably violate the 250 max assembly rule set by the WA governor.
@Old_Joe : Given that the presidential candidates are all old men with lots of exposure due to campaigning I wouldn't be totally shocked if the next president isn't any of the three current contenders
If there are candidate vaccines in the shadows,…
@Old_Joe
Thanks for the info. No, I don't subscribe to WSJ. This tells me that the newness of many of the assays may mean that there is a need for more data before specificity and false alarm rates are locked down. In our state the original victims'…
@sm3
I am curious. Do you know anything about the epidemiology of the cases in the Washington State (Kirkland) LTC facility? Also, do you know if the current test methods in the US have any or many false positives? I tried to Google both questions b…
@dtconroe, I see you have edited the post I replied to and the offensive attack on MFO has been deleted. Thank you for removing those words.
I never complained or said a word about your long post. Not ever. I reacted to the insults you lashed at th…
dtconroe, why do want so badly to hang around people who are known by universal reputation to be so, so, so "shallow" and "focused"? Actually, I've been here for years and years and I think Anna is the only poster that is "shallow" but she isn't all…
I sent my sister a Christmas gift bought on Amazon. She lives in Tennessee, home of FedEx. Amazon delivered the gift and provided a photo of the exact location at her home they left the gift.
A milk man delivered milk next door to me until the woman, age 93, died a couple of years ago. So there was milk delivery still available. We still have a postman that puts a pack across his back and walks door to door to house mounted mail boxes. T…
Thanks to MFO and the regular posters and linkers who make my everyday richer in more than one way. And thanks to the Casino that is preparing my feast.
We've gone from a culture of need ("demand it and it will appear") to a culture of change ("create it and they will adapt"). Does the second way of thinking lead to the greater creativity?
I don't know if it's illegal or not (think war opponents) but if the President can do this on his own individual whim, it's scary. Until I thought about war enemies, my knee jerk reaction was "he can't do that".

I recently ran into a 21st century problem. Our cell phone android version will not run the apps required for upgrading my home to smart. Namely I couldn't connect a Ring Doorbell Pro to my router because my router password resulted in a "Failed" me…
I worked with an Air Force Colonel once that said that he used degrees as a filter for jobs with many applicants. He said that finishing a bachelor's degree showed that the applicant was not only capable but also was someone who could stick with it …
Who knows who has my or your data. Breaches OPM, State of Delaware, Home Depot, and a host of smaller ones, both government and private. At one time I was receiving four free scanning services all related to stolen data bases at the same time. So fo…
The country has precious few resources going forward if we don't get back on track. We would be well advised to do anything we can to encourage education, innovation and inspiration. If the "best and the brightest" can't get a bit of help, how can y…
