@Jolenealaska If you'd say something nice about my (forced no yeast=) bread, I can die and go to heaven feeling like a super-complete frood!

It is quite beautiful!

Aaah. This makes me happy. I wish I could share a slice with all the toppings and the fixins.

Nice picture too.

I've been looking at old cooking experiments of mine on the site for ones that could use a redo. Almost all are baking. I don't want to end my isolation 50 pounds heavier :/

@Jolenealaska I'm doing my part =)

:)

I can't imagine what this would be like without internet.

=) Yeah, me too. Nice to talk to you again Jolene.

You too! I'm glad that you're on the other side.

I will probably need to maintain distance until I'm vaccinated.

That sounds a healthy position. My mother is in the nono category of ever catching it.

Until we're over the hump, I will not go to the hospital. I would rather die alone than be on a ventilator when somebody else needs it. That's a nightmare I cannot imagine.

So I'm being quite careful.

@Jolenealaska Careful is the playbook we need. That's also why it is useful and valuable to have a community like this.

Our healthcare workers should get veterans benefits after all this.

Although free healthcare for life probably isn't terribly attractive to them.

@Jolenealaska You are as worthy of being saved as everybody else!

@rumtscho Of course I am, it's not about worth. That situation would just break me.

I would obsess about it every day for the rest of my life.

Why should someone else get a ventilator but not you?

Oh, this is such a difficult topic. I work in the automobile industry, in the context of autonomous driving. And I am glad that I am not involved in the details of the decision making.

Of course, it’s neural networks and algorithms. But they get written by humans. And there are enough examples of how they get influenced.
