    It is the end of the world as we know it and I do not know how I feel.

    I think you are over reacting a little there.

    For st patty's day i decided to make some egg bread and risen nut bread. I love my bread machine only take a couple of hours to make about any type of fresh bread even pizza dough. much easier than having to hand need the bread dough for sure.

     

    I like what you did with the power cord.  What HDRI did you use?

    You make me smile smiley  That be a good render wouldn't it? only this smell better than it looks .   I'm just a simple ol country girl I like cooking things from scratch. I just cheat with the bread machine.   Cooking is a art form itself ,

    bread machines all done whirling its in the cook process. The bread i made is a unbraided Hola its going to be used in tonight family dinner. I'll make a cinnnom rasin nut bread after this one is done for tommrow.

    I see in the flyer we got in the mail today  at "The Farmer's Coop" has baby easter chicks on sale 5 for $10,  I think hubby gone to get a dozon of them if there any left. 

     

    That will be a lot of chicken soup!

    most for the eggs the chicks are seem to be always hens for some reason. 

    That's a lot of scrambled eggs too. :- )

    I remember (none to fondly) summers at my Uncles farm cleaning chickens...

    Yes but doesn't "FRESH" fried chicken (as in running around the barn yard that morning) taste so good?  And I could eat Eggs 3 times a day, 7 days a week.

    You have a point there but I hated getting covered in blood, feathers and chicken guts to taste that fresh fried chicken. :)

    It is a play off a song but I do not know how I feel.  Maybe it is not the end of the world, but things probably will not be the same.

    yea that is bad part of owning them. that and sweeping out the hen house . packing fresh staw. once a week  gather eggs in the morning.

    I usually share them we the neighbors.   We have had chickens right up until the foxes or weasels got into the hen house this winter and clean them . I was watching the boys wash the incubators &  put flashing around the hen house to hopefully that will fix that from happening again.  properly have to get another rooster though. unless one comes with this bunch of chicks.

    Ivy, if you can, get some sheets of corrugated galvanized steel siding and cut them into 3 foot lengths and drive them about a foot into the ground up against the hen house walls and attach them  The foxes will ahve to dig real deep to get in.  You could also use two layers of flashing with chicken wire sandwitched between the flashing sheets.  I have also had the displeasure of cleaning out a hen houise but we had to use shovels and a pickup to haul it to the garden (50 to 100 chickens create a lot of "fertilizer").

    AH OK, forgot about that song from R.E.M. Things are pretty crazy but this is certainly not a world changer that the media is hyping it up to be. Between social media and instant access to information via the internet the threat of a global panic has increased for the littlest things. Yes it is worse than the comon cold and the flu but it's not going to wipe out 2/3rds of the worlds population. Things will be disrupted for a few months and then it will return to normal and we will wait until the next big event so people can horde toilet paper or maybe something else next time.

    It will be the end of the world for about one or two percent of the people who get sick.

    True but you get that with the flu and any other illness as well but there is no one stirring up a global panic over them is there?  People jsut need to step back and take a deep breath and look at this a little more logically.

    Yep it is a little messy by the time you ring their neck, blanch, pluck, singe, gut, then butcher them, you were prettuy hungry anyway.  Also I only had to do one at a time as my granny seemed to know which of her hens were not laying and therefore eligible to become a nice chicken dinner (either fried, roasted, or boiled for chicken and dumplins or my granny's home made chicken soup).  Also had the freshest eggs (as in laid the day before and collected the prevuious afternoon).  Would get several dozen a day with 100 chickens and my granny sold most of them.  Lord In hated cleaning eggs and putting them in cartons.  Most people don;t have survival skills any more.  If I was still healthy enough, a good fishing pole and a good shotgnu with deer slugs and bird shot and I would be eating fish and game all year round (within season of course don't cotten to poaching).  I could still start a fire for cooking and warmth without matches if I had to but cooking in the apartment fireplace would be a real pain.

    Welp, everything just closed in LA County. Movies, bars, restaurants (except for takeout), gyms, everything except grocery stores and drug stores...

    This is so surreal. Feels like a weird dream. 

    They didn't mention Cannabis stores. But many deliver and will be doing incredible business especially for edibles for those who don't want to risk smoking...

    ...yeah happened here in Oregon too.  . Restaurants and coffee shops can only do take out. Pubs, clubs cinemas and the like are closed down.  My Tuesday night gaming sessions have been moved to Discord (we usually meet at a local games shop which has lots of tables) however I don't have the proper gear required (headphone with mic and net cam).  Yeah a bit of a bummer as that is one of the few times a week I get out to socialise.  Fortunately the weather is going to be nice through Friday so I'll be able to go out for walks.  Fortunately the dispensaries are open here so I can replenish my CBD for my arthritis.

    Something to think about, nearly everyone uses cell phones and the virus can live on surfaces for several days, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    ...hmm indeed, maybe it was a not the best idea to send all those telephone sanitisers off with the account executives, hairdressers, tired TV producers, insurance salesmen, personnel officers, security guards, public relations executives, and management consultants.to colonise another planet.

    Whelp, my mom just made a trip to the grocery store and took a "wish list" with her for me...and she did better than expected. She says they're working like bees to restock shelves and she was able to get staples like bread and ground hamburger, etc. The funny thing was that the stuff she found easily was the stuff nobody wants that we eat...like whole wheat pasta and organic free-range eggs. 

    Yeah, the wife and I lucked out too on some chili.  The wife liks Wolf Brand Mild Chili without Beans (this is Texas and there is just something wrong with putting beans in chili).  The regular Wolf Brand Chili is too spicy for her acid reflux.  The ONLY chili left on the shelf were 8 cans of Wolf Brand Mild Chili.  We normally by 2 cans a week.  We wearn't greedy, only bought 6 (2 for this week, two for next week, and two just because).  But the other problem is THEY WERE OUT OF SALTINES (we're down to 1 tube) AND FRITOS!.  Oh the Agony, THE AGONY.  No Chili with crackers, and woe is me, NO FRITO PIE!  Goiong on a quest for Saltines and Fritos tomorrow.

    ...the Safeway down the street currently has a local brand of chili on sale (though the end of the month) for like 1$ and change so I snatched up like a half dozen cans of the regular save for the Jalapeno Hot (which I can't handle) and cheese varieties (something about cheese in a tin just doesn't cut it)  Instead of saltines I use corn tortillas which I cut into quarters, got a big pack ones which should last a bit.

    Nothing is normal about this. Here all of LA County was shut down. Schools will be closed till the end of the school year. The only things open are grocery and drug stores and restaurants for takeout and delivery only. New York is shut down, most of Europe is. Amazon cutting down on deliveries that aren't essential. This is not just an ordinary flu or media panic. This was pronounced a pandemic by WHO.

    I like to check the DAZ sales every day.  Load up the cart with the absolute best math I can find.  Then at the very very end?  I clear that shopping cart because I haven't worked in 2 weeks and counting.  I'm now thinking about adding whiskey to this rotation.

    Turns out I was worrying for nothing. It's not prescription medications that people might be hoarding but stuff for cold and flu. I am sorry if I worried anyone. I certainly don't want to be a "fearmonger." Wishing all the best for the DAZ community and the world as we go through these trying times.

    My family lives in Washington state, and they have shut the state down as well. I never said any of this was normal. By definition the flu can be called a pandemic by the WHO. Is COVID-19 worse... yes I am not denying that. What I said was that people are freaking out because the everyday things they do are being disrupted. People jsut need to calm down, paniciing isn't helping anything and it will only lead to larger issues in the long term.

    Over here one cannot hoard prescription meds ... some are so tightly regulated that a friend of a friend who told me said, he can't even get his next refill until he has taken his last pill. {which we all think is a bit ridiculous but that's the way it is for some}

    Becareful about trying to store too much for colds and flu -- they do NOT last well through extreme temperature changes {such as summers that go into the high 90s plus}.

    Understandable. I have a bottle of Tylenol for fever, some cough drops, a bottle of cough syrup, and some nasal spray to help congestion. I'm not hoarding anything, because I've seen the damage hoarding does in this crisis. A friend told me they have a police officer in the local Walmart now, because people were getting in fist fights over what food and supplies are left. I won't be getting in any fist fights over anything. There's no point.

    Yeah. It's about time for me to do a grocery shopping again, and I don't know if I want to brave the huge lines and the possibility of contracting the virus. I think preppers like Ivy have had the right idea for a long time. I'm on a fixed income and have never really been able to stockpile things, but I think if I made a more conscious effort to be prepared for a situation like this, in retrospect there are more things I probably could have done, even to just be prepared for something like the flu or a blizzard much less a pandemic. This will definitely be a learning experience.

    I will still risk the shops for my fresh food, just stay well away from other people, I do anyway, hate being touched

    but the smoke is really playing havoc with my breathing at the moment, I cough continuously anyone would think I have Covid19, I haven't but wheezing and generally miserable like I was during the bushfires.

    these arsonists pick the worst possible time to wreck destruction, its overcast with a temperature inversion.

    ...for myself, since we had such a mild winter, everything is beginning to go into bloom here already so my allergies have started to kick in early.  Crikey I saw daffodils and trees going into bloom in the first week of of February,

    Sounds like a nice early spring for you. Here we have had record snow falls to the point where my town, St. John's, Newfoundland, was completely shut down for over a week... it has been a very hard winter here.

    Ah....I spend summers in Lab West.  I love Newfoundland, what a gorgeous place.   We will be traveling back from Arizona, as my sweetie has his health insurance in Canada only and the press conference today said for all Canadians to come home sooner rather than later.  I am more on the side of hunkering down, but who knows when the best time will be for the long road trip from Arizona?  I imagine there will be difficulties and lack of services along the way, then the 14 day quarantine when we get there.  Fun times.
