Mrs.J Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 So on the baking front today. Warm front all the way with the making of tortilla chips. The two Miss J's down tortilla chips like chocolate so in an attempt to save money found this recipe that is so easy. Sealed Chips last for over a week fresh and crispy.

Eskimo Joe Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 If this post is inappropriate for this thread please remove. This morning I found out that my best friend from college (he was the best man in my wedding, I in his), his wife and his mother all tested positive for COVID. His mother is now in hospice and went from healthy to on death's doorsteps in 3 days. This is a nefarious disease and the sooner we get a treatment protocol the better. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimorewx Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I think today will be a good day to take the dog and hit some craft breweries that I haven’t been to before. Thinking Jailbreak Brewery for sure...and maybe Manor Hill. May swing by Black flag as well they usually have some decent stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother who lives in OH and is an essential employee tested positive. He did not have any issues but we were worried as he has underlying conditions. It is a nasty virus that picks and chooses and that is what is scary about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck, I'll say a prayer. I went and got tested myself because I attended one of the protests. Socially distanced as best I could and wore my N95 but Hogan has said all who went should get tested, and you can get tested on demand at just about any CVS now. In other news, I am truly now a Marylander. I have acclimated to this place so much that I am enjoying very hot weather. I used to hate this time of year because it was always this way in Louisiana but god. I've been sitting outside and basking in the sun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week there was a significant peaceful protest in front of the Bethesda library in the parking lot. People actually made a point to stand 6 feet apart and weak a mask and openly complained the police weren't following Gov. Hogan's orders. It was bizarre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been sitting outside and basking in the sun. I'd think having lived in Louisiana, the heat here would be nothing to you (can hear you saying, "meh...95 degrees and 2000% humidity? Y'all should see what it's like on the bayou, wimps!!")! You should laugh at us "northerners" wilting in heat and humidity!! I'll be honest, I never could deal with oppressive heat/humidity as well as I could with cold. But I grew up in northeast Ohio...if it got to 90+ degrees, fetch the smelling salts!! I lived in Florida for about 3 years (northern part, while in grad school, at FSU)...and *hated* the summers there! Oh, and the 5 foot long cockroaches.

nj2va Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Anyone here have a metal roof? We are getting a new one at Deep Creek and going with metal (currently shingles). trying to decide between exposed fasteners vs the seamless. Seamless has no risk of the screws degrading over time/causing leaks but it’s about $7k over the exposed fastener metal roof. The roofer said the seamless has a life of like 100 years (lol).

Either is better then shingles but unless you're Yoda living hundreds of years I'd use that 7k to go on a couple nice vacations. Just my .02. I'll up that to .04 for ya. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we decided to go with the metal fastener....just couldn’t justify that price difference and honestly we wouldn’t recoup that whenever we decide to sell it.

Mrs J.your hydrangeas + are a living example of why artificial stimulation is unnecessary. If you have a yard or can find a green space all you need is to open your eyes and enjoy what has always been free.
