ROOT BEER BARRELS>>>I wiped the handle, and, off I went.

         This grocery delivery and pickup thing just doesn't work when the restaurants are shut down and everybody is trying to use the service. You can wait days for your delivery and won't get everything you ordered. Who ever heard of substituting baby oil for corn oil.    It'll get geared up to handle the extra deliveries. I know most of the stores re hiring as is Amazon to handle it.

Senior hours

1st store

social distancing, long line, no one going in.

So I stood in line for about 5 minutes and headed for another store.

I got in line at 7:12 and was in the door at 7:22.

Every 5 minutes, he would let 5 carts in the store.

First thing I ran for was those root beer barrels. (The 5 pounds I ordered on Ebay had about 20% of the flavor.  I got a refund from the seller as soon as I brought it to his attention. They weren't worth the calories unless you were on a desert island with nothing else to eat.

      I next went to the dairy section and got cottage cheese, sour cream, eggs, and butter. Some cat food for Hoggie and I was shooed into a new lane before I got my hot dog buns or cheese... Next time.

At least they had everything I was looking for.

It will all calm down as people realize they have enough.

SMOKING IS NOT REQUIRED

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
