You're misusing woke. And you don't need to place woke in quotes every time. And get off my lawn.

I wouldn't want to be in a large city right now, (i.e. NYC, Chicago, DC, etc). Just the number of people and the lack of large grocery stores in the city proper. I went to Cosentino's last night in Brookside and there were maybe 10 people in the store. Bought several whole chickens I might smoke this weekend, plus a bunch of frozen stuff.

Have you put down your spring lawn fertilizer on that yet or are you waiting another week or two for it to get warmer?

Also be careful, gusher now has more info to stalk you.

I fertilized the other day, because my tulips aren't blooming (the crocus came and went in Feb-Early March). I'm worried not enough phosphorus to bloom. Also, I want to get my herbs in the ground. Last year was a good growing year. Plenty of Basil, Chives, Green Onions, Oregano, Jalapenos, rosemary, mint, Lavender, and a couple other things (can't remember right now)

So anybody working from home started day drinking yet? Asking for a friend. Or have a beer or two while working in the afternoon or I guess morning. :)

I had Irish cream in my coffee once or twice, but probably less than a half of a drink those times. If it's a slow day, I'll get a glass of wine at about 4 pm. I don't want to fall into the trap of pouring cocktails in the morning. That can't be a healthy way to go about it.

A Cocktail at 9:30 A.M.? Sure, Why Not.

We have had a virtual (video by Zoom) happy hours during the last couple of weeks. I think it will become a regular event. That's the good part. The bad part is that I have about four or five groups, each of them wanting to have a weekly virtual happy hour. I have to substitute seltzer for G&T for some of them :)

I don't understand these Zoom Happy Hours. My wife's company has them on Fridays, and 27 people on them. She doesn't really like her co-workers, at least socially, and just sits there for an hour drinking a beer.

My company tried to get us to do that, and I shut it down real quick.

What do you think the average age is of the idiots who've been going on cruises?

My guess, about Michhawk's age. about Michhawk's age.
