When I lived in Arizona for two years I CRAVED pickles. Kosher dills was my poison. I had to have them every day. I spent a lot of money on my habit. When I moved back to California my pickle craving ceased which was good for my wallet.

Walmart sells this brand of spicy maple-bourbon pickles that are da bomb. Heaven.

Kosher dills are great too tho, and healthier...no sugar. What's your fav brand?

What's your fav brand? I'm very discriminating, I like the ones that come refrigerated (Claussen) or the ones sold in Jewish delis back east.

I don't eat pickles anymore. Don't need the salt. But I was eating Vlassic or Claussen kosher dills.

It's very possible your body was craving that extra sodium when you lived in AZ.

Who knew?! Btw, my daughter used to be a pickle weirdo. When I'd take her to the movies, instead of popcorn, she'd want a pickle. That right there is just so wrong. But she would somehow hollow out that pickle during the course of the film and would then eat its shell on the way to the car. So weird.

All is well. My compound is safe behind large rolls of razor wire and a tall electrified fence. Watchtowers are manned, the floodlights illuminate my yard at night. I occasionally hear automatic weapons fire and sirens, but there is plenty of canned food. I spend most of my day cleaning guns and waiting for the inevitable horde of toilet paper denied crazed to attack.

It's the waiting that is the worst.
 
tbh, a few subtle jokes and snide comments is all that Trump/Rush/Sean Republicans have left.

what else can they say?

You bringing the margaritas?

Margaritas with pickles? Eww!

Pickles go with sammiches.

margaritas go with street tacos.

Remember the huge jars of huge pickles that used to be in the stores just sittin' out on the counters?

If deaths increase by 20% every day we'll have over 600,000 dead by the end of the month and the entire population of the US will be dead by the middle of July.

In the first place the entire population is not going to die. The infection rate is not the death rate. Stop with this s***.

If I was you, I would be having a blast. You have less than 3 months to live.

According to many here the fed's job is only offer military protection. Everything else is overstepping their bounds and unconstitutional. They would rather die than see an actual functional federal government. Literally.

But they went along with the feds war on drugs quite cheerfully. And their claim of jurisdiction was that drugs cross state lines. Or could. Or might.

Cheered the patriot act too, as I recall.

What's uglier is how some aren't social distancing and obeying stay at home orders.
I think you are wrong to generalize. It depends on the state and it's density for population. My state, so far is doing better than what was initially forecast according to what Deborah Birx said at today's WH briefing.

I am REALLY not happy about this. I was assured that if I stocked up on toilet paper and ramen soup that I'd be fine but now you're telling me that's not the case.

You also need guns... lots of guns, then you would be fine.

But did you dig a moat around your compound and put rattle snakes in there? You might want to check into that.

Actually a guy I knew did that, and this was before the pandemic. He dug a moat around his house and put snakes in there to keep people out. Not a very sociable kind of guy.
