I get all the little Debbie's!

I only like a few of them, and have them occasionally. My mawmaw and I would share a pack of fancy cakes while watching Dallas.

Tignanello · My dog name is, Sasha!

I wonder how many gigantic parties are going to be thrown? Every radio station, company, whatever in the whole wide world will be throwing a bash.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I just heard about the post lockdown parties some are planning. It seems like the perfect way to get those second wave numbers really soaring.

FNW · Guru

Yeah, I'm all for reopening, but I think people still need to distance themselves and take precautions.

Tignanello · My dog name is, Sasha!

Maybe everyone will wear their masks? With a little hole in the front for a straw...

I'm thinking the next hurdle and media frenzy will be over people losing their homes and cars.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

We have a Skittle plant near us. You can smell the rainbow.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

We have a General Mills plant. You can smell the Lucky Charms and Honey Nut Cheerios.

I live between two bbq joints. They smoke meat all the time. It's heavenly.

There is a Jello Plant on the way into Boston. When I used to commute the odor was so nice. Although Bill Cosby's face always popped into my mind.

We live downwind from the paper mill in Savannah. When the breeze is just right...

We have a cattle feed lot about four blocks from our house. Smells like money. That’s what we say when the stink is really bad.. But the company provides jobs and puts meat in the supermarkets.
I’m looking forward to being able to buy yeast again! Where did all the Susie homemakers suddenly come from?😂
Anyway, I am so over this stupid virus and just want to get on with my life not being controlled by other people’s fears. No one within a hundred miles of us has had the virus in over five weeks.
Flame suit on.😁

I had to order from Amazon instead of getting it at our local store, annoyed the crap out of me.

Someone in our town raised turkeys and in the spring he would fertilize his pasture with turkey manure, it is the most horrible smell ever and it stunk up the whole town. 😣

Yes. All the grocery stores were out of it. And, even Amazon was out of it. What they had was like $50 for a 16 ounces. I stopped at a locally owned store and they sell a lot to the Amish. She said a "truck was coming in" and she said would call me when it came in.

Chicken houses! They're all around us. It's awful in the heat of summer.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

People are already setting up small chicken houses on their farms around here. The few that always had chickens are selling eggs and started brooding hens to raise their own hens and butchers.
The local butcher shops are booked for four months with people buying butcher cattle from local farmers. Hogs as well. It’s crazy.
Everyone is planting a huge garden and buying lids for canning. I have always canned but I’m not sure the newbies know what they are doing. A food shortage is predicted for next winter due to the heavy loss of produce, meat and dairy. I checked out prices for canning lids on Amazon and was shocked. So glad I had bought mine last fall.
I really don’t think people realize what’s yet to come.

But really that's not uncommon for slaughter houses back when I was a kid.

Of course, a lot of us slaughtered and butchered our own meat.

My landlord upstairs grows a yard full of weeds - I mean ... um ... plants? And I've suggested that we clear them out and put in potatoes and carrots and garlic and onions. She looked at me like I'm nuts. I figure either it will come in handy, or I'll be spared a yard full of whatever that is.

DH is already on his second harvest
of new potatoes. Oh, the difference
in the taste from what is available
at the supermarket! Fresh potatoes
will keep for a long time in the bottom
drawer of the crisper in your fridge.
Make sure there is a layer of paper
towels under the potatoes.

If your landlord is willing to put in
a garden, green beans and peas
are super easy to grown, and freeze
well.

weeds are just mis-placed flowers!

Weeds are just plants that take no effort to grow. IF dandelions were hard to cultivate, people would be clamoring for them.

You seem to have a lot of "suggestions" for everyone else. So, ok, here's one for you. Get some pots and plant some vegetables for yourself.

Yes, you were being snotty to your landlord, so good to know you can plant.

I have lots of conversations with others. However, if you decide to drop your snark as well, then maybe we can. But, i doubt it.

I traded yeast for home made sugar cookies. The lady made them and included little baggies of icing and little cups of sprinkles to decorate them. We let the kids do them. Then sent them home. It was a lot of fun. My subdivision has it's own FB page and I started a swap and trade thread. Everyone posts what they have and need and we trade. I've traded and gotten mac and cheese and spaghettios. Haven't needed any essentials yet as I am good about keeping that in stock. It's been nice living in a friendly community.

I think we will see more bartering as more shortages appear. That's a good idea.

People post that they're going to the store and if anyone needs anything just send the list. And people are good about social distancing. We've done several activities as a neighborhood. They had a dinosaur parade one day. You saw a parade of people dressed up as dinosaurs marching six feet apart walking through the neighborhood. People also put out teddy bears for the families to walk through the neighborhood and the kids could look for them and see how many they could find. At Easter people left eggs in the yards for the kids to count. It's a nice neighborhood. I'll miss it when I move.

Our 'hood has been doing activities as well. Easter eggs, races, etc. We haven't participated, it's mostly for the little ones. I haven't seen any bartering yet.

oh our town has had the teacher parades, bday parades, dinosaurs doing pop up parades or playing in the town green. It's been fun to watch the videos. We even had the Easter bunny parade and of course the bears in the windows are propped up on mail boxes.

My neighbor told me that soon, I forget the day, that there is a call for national grilling in the front of your house so we can all do a neighborhood cookout from a distance. I think that is fun.
