so as things are now opening up and food never ran out, i've been dipping into our emergency supplies.

they say that spam doesn't have a shelf-life, it has a half-life, but i kind of wanted to see if it was like i remembered as a kid.. as it turns out spam fritters are as delicious as i remember, probably better ('cause i did fancy ones).

i used this recipe and they were glorious.

so we've all been locked down and there's only so much netflix / prime / disney / hbo you can watch and computer games you can play.

what has everyone been doing to pass the time?.

when you're completely stuck inside and working from home it can get a bit boring staring at the same walls all day and then in the evening as well.

the fake news wants us to believe that one cop who murdered one person sparked all this.

this does not make any sense.

Have you ever known elders who were more into being and elder than really being a believer?

i have known many elders who were much more into the idea of being an elder and getting all the old ladies to tell them what wonderful talks they give and the power then really being a believer.

i had one elder tell me that when he became an elder he was on top dog on top of the heap.

i knew some who were really all about the religion and following the cult.
