Even Manhattan, out of all the boroughs in NYC, has a distinct unpleasant smell at times. Likely not as bad as the Bronx or Queens, but still. And though New Orleans is quite charming at night, around 6 a.m. in the French Quarter it's pretty disgusting.Try visiting Venice on garbage day in the summer. OMG!
DH and I think we had a mild bout of Covid (we didn't test) last weekend. We just stayed home the whole weekend and rested, and we were fine within a few days. This newest strain seems very mild. Of course we could have had just a small summer cold or something, who knows.Nope.
I don’t mean to complain, because I know she feels bad, but I just got chewed out for getting her the wrong box of Kleenex from the back room.
They’re the same Kleenex, just a different box. Just not the box…
I have to get some decongestant for her, which I’m dreading, because she won’t go through the shopping app and tell me which one she wants. Sounds simple, but she’s a person who, if she were in the shop, would take 45 minutes and do an item-by-item compare before settling on something, after applying a host of criteria known only to her. It could be the active ingredient as the decider, it could be the color of the box.
One thing is for certain…whatever I pick, it’ll be the wrong one.
I’m in store for a helluva week.
Masks were never liked or embraced by the majority, sweaty ‘orrible things. It will have to be threat of death level before anyone will put them on
We wore them constantly when the pandemic first erupted and even after getting my first and booster vaccines. I didn't mind a bit. We pretty much stayed to ourselves and only with family members who also didn't go out in public. We had a nice nest egg saved where neither of us needed to work, so that was good. After the first year I just had to go back out to make some money so I kept a clean stash of cloth masks in a ziplock baggie and I had a very methodical way of getting in the car, santizing my hands, taking the mask off and putting it in a "dirties" ziplock, sanitizing my hands again, and putting a fresh mask on before going into the next store.Masks were never liked or embraced by the majority, sweaty ‘orrible things.

Having said that Bristol has a lot of chinese overseas student and some do wear masks so I still see them about.
This is what I’m putting up with:I was thinking noise reduction earphones. I think her bark is worse than her bite and what he can't hear can't hurt him
Terribly sorry. Do you think she craved attention? My daughter , and all kids, do sometimes opposite things to draw attention...
That’s mainly it. I have my own opinions as to why, but she’s never really had much awareness about how what she’s doing affects people around her. She’s not intentionally inconsiderate, just unaware.
Well that is uncomparably the better option. Good to hear.
We are generally a nation of rule followers so everyone wore their mask and most (apart from the government
) followed all the lockdown rules.
Sounds like a birthday feast!
I got exactly what she asked for, she even texted me a pic…and somehow, I’ve still managed to get the wrong thing.
That was such a nice party! They really had a great feast laid out--my husband's cousin smoked a brisket and a pork shoulder, plus there were baked beans and potato salad, cole slaw, a platter of mixed fruit, and a cornbread casserole, and someone made this Buffalo chicken dip that I have had before that was really good. Whoever made it put a lot of thought into it and made it with real chicken breast (some people tend to use canned) and made it not too spicy since there were quite a few kids there. I had a brisket sandwich and some of my mashed potatoes, plus a bit of the Buffalo chicken dip with tortilla chips and was very happy with that (not a fan of a lot of the other foods though I would have eaten some of that pulled pork and the cornbread casserole if I'd had more of an appetite).
