RE: Alcohol is becoming scarce in the USA due to supply chain problems

"Alcohol is becoming scarce in the USA due to supply chain problems"


uh oh I heard it wasn't just supply chain problems. They talk on the news here once in a while about the increase in alcohol use since the covid restrictions and more people sitting home and not working. I don't know this for fact nor have I seen it. Just hear it on the tele being discussed and it kind of makes sense to me dunno A lot of unhappy people here.

RE: What Are You Wearing

I am a smidgeoun south of you in Vero Beach. I was up your way yesterday right before Palm Bay wave Our weather never gets to cold. But our coldest months are usually February and maybe the beginning of March. It will come in spells. A few days cold then a few days hot. Today was gorgeous. Sadly I spent it mowing the yard blues

RE: Say Anything

Nope a person does not have to drink everyday. I did spend Christmas Eve and New Years day alone. The other two with family. As difficult as is it for me because I am such a recluse I have started inviting people over for dinner, to play games, sometimes just a Sunday drive and they are coming wow . I have aquired a group of female friends this last year that are like me. Wanting to go places and not be alone all the time. Maybe try that if you haven't. I know if you are like me and use to being alone it is difficult but to be honest so far everytime I have done it I have a good time. hug Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my friend. Even tho late heart felt wine

RE: Mom and Popisms

My Dad came in when I was about sixteen and I had proudly cooked a meal for a male friend. My father roars upon entry "Good God what have you done! Men are like cats if you feed them once you can't get rid of them." uh oh

Don't talk politics, finances or religion with people it only leads to differences and arguments.

No one needs to know your personal business.

Learn to take care of yourself if you lean on someone long enough they will fall.

Tomorrow is another day.

Wipe the dust off your butt and try again.

Bullies love an audiance if you want someone to leave you alone then get them alone and show them your crazy side.

I loved my parents so much. But we were not allowed to be sissies in my house. When things got tough the tough got going.

I also heard the one with the underwear laugh

RE: What Are You Wearing

I am wearing a jammie just above the knee. The colors are blue white red and black with designs on it. And an attitude. Yup I put on my attitude today laugh We have had some beautiful warm days here also wave

RE: The worst crisis since 2008

I suspect you are right. It is going to get real ugly. Most likely to what I have not seen in my life time. blues We are going to suffer more than a financial crisis. The last two years has set us up to where we no longer have the values we had at one time. I say the last two years but in truth it has been being put in place for a long time. The divide the hate. The quarentine, keeping us isolated from one another. A lot of components that make us human are being lost. I see it every day. We are losing the humanity aspect of being human rapidly. We are turning into just beings. Can we really blame the governments when so many of us have partcipated in the raping of society. I just continue everyday trying to remain human in a world of so much chaos. sad flower

RE: ego vs self-respect

I always thought ego equalled fear. Most I have seen with what I percieved with big egos were always afraid of losing something if you looked closely at them you could see the fear. Afraid of losing something, afraid of not getting their way. To me there is a big difference between self respect and ego. I seem to have both. It depends on which is in charge for the day on how I behave. Sometimes self respect has to go around and clean up egos messes left behind when it in charge Interesting topic. wine

RE: This-N-That…

We will work together as a team grin I do also have some various spices growing around the patio area grin I have never made homemade olive oil before but am willing to try if Sel will bring enough olives for that.


You are in. Do you know how to make olive oil uh oh

RE: Do you swear too much?

Yes I do. A bit to much and kind of enjoy it at times. But professor very seldom do I swear at anyone.

RE: This-N-That…

This is where the shortages come from here in the United State so it will give you a good idea of where they will be at. We have a shortage of people returning to the work force. So anything that is subject to this will start to dry up and not be available. Furniture, appliances just about everything including clothing. Right now we are buying what these places have stored for years that did not sale. dunno Soon it will run out. Same with our food sources. It will become more expensive as it becomes less available. I went out and bought bacon at the store yesterday. I paid almost ten dollars for a pound. Farmers and ranchers before covid were being choked to death by regulations and then with the onset of covid in 2020 and the restrictions that followed, many lost crops (no one to harvest them) In my area they were opening up and let people harvest for themselves for reduced prices just to get the stuff out where they could replant. Also many took to homeless and low income or hurting people (so many hurting) what they could not sale even at reduced prices. I myself am not going to worry about it. I as many on this site was raised in a time where I did not have all the choices we have had in the days before covid. I am quite honestly worried in the raising of prices of grocerys electric and etc. I will be ok. Just not as spoiled as I have become very happy I am a homeowner and now I am also wondering how I am going to get past the fact that in south Florida our homes have tripled in value because so many are moving here and there is no where to put them. What this means to me is when my homeowners insurace becomes due I will have to make a decision can I afford the new price, is it worth it to me, or am going to go uninsured in an area known for some beast of hurricanes. I do keep hurricane supplies. So I have can goods. Not really big into eating can foods. My Dad always thought when I was growing up China was going to invade the United States so we learned how to live off the land if need be and how to live on little. We were taught how to leave our comfortable enviroment if need be and go into the thick swamps where many are not use to the harsh reality of that area. Do I worry. Yes to some point. Yet I have made up my mind that I will not be ruled my last days here on earth by worry. I have faith and move forward. Remaining grateful for what I do have is my path. Sorry so long Ro. Who knows maybe someone needs to hear this if they can read this long of a post laugh

Anybody for some swamp cabbage? wine

RE: What are your plans for New Years Eve

Every day I get up I celebrate! I am planning on doing the same thing I have done for years. Sit home alone. Reflect back through my life. Create a good meal. Then the next day my celebration begins. A little work around the house, maybe a kayak adventure or a beach stroll. Contact a couple of friends and family to just say Hi! When I was little my Mom use to tell me that what you do on the first of the year would be what you do all year long so don't clean. laugh I grew up and realized I like clean. I like me time and out door time and I like friends. wave Remember when we use to have parties here on CS......wine

RE: What are you plans for Christmas Day

We are going to gather at my daughters. Since my close family is quite large we have had our rapid covid test so we are legal to gather laugh I have actually been more in the mood for Christmas this year than I have in a while. But now since it is here I am now ready for New Years laugh and we are not even done with Christmas. We will have fun, eat, some gifts and then.........New Years!!!!!!! boogie


PS I always stay in New Years but I am ready for this year to end. Been mostly good but ready peace

RE: CPR ?

Me too. That was just not one I expected. I am all about walking through this world trying to create as little harm as possibe. I see no way one would know when is the right time or not blues Kind of like the old expression. Damned if I do and damned if I dont. sigh

RE: CPR ?

So sorry for your experiance. I do believe that cpr should be learned. The thing is some people are not good at this type of thing. I ended up taking care of both my parents in their elder years. People tried to make my sister out to be bad for her lack of participation. She participated till she no longer could. Some people are unable to do some task in life no matter how important the task is. It does not make them bad. Now with that being said. I have done cpr. I brought the person back to life. I live with that. I believe it would of been better to of just let them slip peacefully away. How does one know if we are doing a service or a disservice. blues It was good for the family, it gave them the opportunity to say their good byes. I learned a lot that day. I worry now if I am needed to apply cpr again I might be more hesitant. Not meaning to. I reacted that day. Will I take time to think next time? That could possibly cost someone their life. I will never forget looking in the hospital room and seeing what I had done That will be a ghost with me forever crying

RE: country music

RE: noise of silence

Well when you are right your right. I have remained calm on the outside during some of the worse moments of my life. wave

RE: Diana's Impact

I think everyone who walks through this life changes it in some way. Be it large or small. I also believe that their death will impact change on those they touched that will contnue on. I would not be the same if she had lived and maintained a relationship with Dodi Fayed. Their presence as well as yours would shift change in the world. No matter how big or small. So no matter how big or small I would be shifted because of these presences. Example: If you were not here I would not be responding to your thread which means I would be doing something else. No matter how big or small. wave
I just gave myself a headache blues

RE: Ridiculous Inflation

I very seldom eat out anymore. Prices have gone up, food portion size is ok but the taste is not. I think here they are cutting back on using good ingrediants. Or I am getting use to my cooking. I live alone so I will cook a meal and usually freeze the left overs. That way I am not eating the same thing for days. Today I made some round bread and stuffed it with ground beef, spinach and mozzarela cheese. It is enough for three meals and freezes well.

RE: Say Anything

I don't mind the flying it is the cold that terrifies me. sigh I can do this. cold
