PHOTO BLOG AKA I HAVE ALL THE TOILET PAPER

 This is a months worth of food and a great deal of toilet paper. It was on sale and normally when it's this good a price I get 2 packs even if I don't need it. I got dried beans this time and when I finish the canned ones in the pantry I'll be getting into the dried ones. Could not get the Tomatoes I normally get so I got much smaller cans and tomato sauce instead. I tried out the fancy expensive tomatoes and sauce in a batch of bean mix and it tasted quite good. However it's noticeably less actual food.
 Top row is what I already had (include 8 rolls of paper towel). Bottom row is the ones I got on sale. This should literally last me to the end of the year and trust me I use a lot of toilet paper. It's amazing how the one store can keep it in and the rest of them can't - of wait, there was a limit of 2 packs... never mind.
 No playing cards of pool or shuffleboard.
 The common arias where people would congregate are now closed. Some still are not getting the idea of social distancing and isolation. There is OFTEN people talking face to face in my hall and in the entry way people will gather in a group to talk - most of them keep a distance but some just don't. I been not getting on the small elevator if people are in it, the big one they can move to the back and be far enough apart for us both to be in there however.
 Blue cheese for a snack. This is not derived from the original source as those ones are all literally blue fungus in them. This has green fungus in it. So tasty. BTW the original blue cheese came from monks using their feet to separate the curds. They had toe fungus and it was passed on to the cheese. The eat it and where not sick and thought it tasted great, so to this day in the same part of the world there is still cultured fungus that originated from them monks many years ago.
 Bean mix with the fancy tomatoes and the sauce. It was actually quite tasty. A lot more tasty than my normal batch of stuff. Might just keep up with this. It's less tomatoes but in all not a great deal less food. I have not been sticking to my diet, so yeah... got to get back on plan here.
 I miss social interaction. Sigh.
Got a 1.75L of Alberta Premium Whisky (yes that is spelled correctly). It came with this nice glass. I'm going to keep using it. The fancy ones that allow you to get more nose out of the drink are so hard to clean and this is very easy to clean. Just have to toss one of my coffee cups to put it in the cupboard. They say 100% rye grain, but I'm kind of sure there is some corn in the mash.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

10 Questions Answered

Image
1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
