Modern medicine has made us so self-conscious about eating sugar, that I'm not able to eat desserts anymore without pangs of guilt. Kinda ticks me off.
Yesterday my Venny friend returned two Agatha Christie books he'd read, and I sent him home with another. After I read 'em, I pass 'em on to him. He brought me the coolest surprise. A bag of perfect beads for making my sparkly sun catchers. They spotted the unopened bags of beads in a thrift store, thought of me and bought 'em to give to me. That fortune cookie the other night was right.....something wonderful did happen!
Well, you know crazy me. Got online and immediately ordered another brand of the same type wipe. Think the ones I ordered are called Coin Tissues. Even though we keep extra supplies on hand, this girl isn't gonna get caught with her pants down, if you get my drift. All we're hearing these days is serious shortages coming. My theory is to err on the side of caution.
Many unexplainable things going on, like the cargo ships waiting out in the Pacific to be unloaded. So much information swirling around us, it's impossible to discern what's true, what's not true, and what's being exaggerated to scare us.
The world feels weird and out of whack, and nobody's righting the wrongs. A person can't help but be troubled, especially those of us who were raised to take care of ourselves.
Speaking of hickory nuts, I was at Mary Ann's on Wednesday and she gave me a quart that Jean picked the meats out. I hide it because if Bob gets his greedy little paws on it, he will eat them in no time. He loves nuts. Buys mixed nuts, Brazil nuts and almond by the bags full. Always have them on hand for snacking. Scary business with empty shelves. I really haven't noticed so much here, I was a Aldi yesterday and they had everything. I probably will be kicking myself for not buying extra TP. I'm like Lord Jesus come get me out of here. :)
ReplyDeleteOn another thought The Three Days of Darkness has me worried. Google it! True or not don't know.
ReplyDeleteAlice.....oh, we love munching on nuts, too. Very healthy, according to our doctor. Hickory nuts are a precious commodity these days.
ReplyDeleteAs for the three days of darkness....this is how I've come to think. Until I see it, I won't believe it. Even if I see it, I'll still have my doubts. The last two years have awakened me to betrayals of the past. So much of what's been going on for centuries has been revealed, yet nothing is being done to stop it. I've waited since last February for things to happen, and still nothing. You and I see things the same way, and it's very disheartening. Everything feels lopsided. Like we say out here at Venny, thank heavens we're as old as we are. Won't want to live in what they're now calling Amerizuela. Scary to the core.
Thanks for leaving comments. They really mean a lot to me. ~L
I remember my Mom's Custard Pies. I loved them. I've always wanted to try making one. Well, this summer I tried. First one ever. At 75? Nobody would believe it, probably. It wasn't hers exactly but it was mighty good.
ReplyDeleteScary world we live in. We keep hearing of shortages but so far, here, we're ok. Stores have plenty. Who knows how long their warehouses will, though.
Same here. Boyfriend went WM shopping today, no shortages....yet.
