Who remembers Pandemic Bingo in 2020? 

I had hoped we were done with it for 2021 but should have known better when Jan. 6th happened.  

So I thought it would be a good time to revive Pandemic Bingo 2.1. Humor is the best medicine right?

 

Some things that could go on Pandemic Bingo 2.1 include:

Cicada Apocalypse

Vaccination Jab Celebration Selfie

Rediscovering Shopping in person

My Pillow Guy

Bamboo Ballots 

Cyber Ninjas 

Free samples back at Costco

Colonial Pipeline Cyberattack

Texas Big Freeze

Baby It's Hot Outside 

 

~And then we have some nominees that made news today~

Murder Hornets 2.1

( Again??  Yes, they'er back) https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/08/13/murder-hornet-seen-alive-in-washington/8120961002/

 3 volcanoes erupting at the same time in Alaska?

https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/three-volcanoes-are-erupting-time-alaska-rcna1672

Add your nominations to the list!  We have months to go.

@jeanne-mayell about the giant zukes- maybe you could slice them up and batter them w GF Panko crumbs, and  then fry them.  It might even work better w the big, tough ones, because they could end up  being crisper, and less soggy than the young tender ones.

 

 I guess i have fried food on the brain, ever since my Tempura dream-  but i just saw where someone said that if we could just deep fry the vaccine, and serve it on a wooden skewer, most of the South would be vaxxed by now.  Hehheh.  It's only funny because it's true.

@unk-p You could also put in in Sweet Tea and have a vaccine for lunch.

@unk-p I love zucchini dipped in batter and fried. Well, yesterday I took some of my vegetables to neighbor who is new and after she took all she thought her family could eat, she told me about a fresh food soup kitchen one of the churches in town was running. So I gave her the rest because they happened to be serving that night.  And that was how I emptied out my backlog of watermelon-sized zucchini. 

But there will be more in a few days, so I will try baked stuffed zucchini and batter dipped fried zukes. I could even cut one in the shape of a tie.

@jeanne-mayell 

I am now hungry!  If I wait 15 minutes I can literally eat a midnight snack. 

But I have will power.  I think.

Yes, I do

@lovendures At the exact moment you wrote that you were hungry, I was in bed and could not sleep because I suddenly was hungry. As I've said many times here, we are all connected. Since I need to gain, not lose weight, I went to the kitchen and had a mug of hot milk and almond butter smeared on gf toast. I hope it made you feel better. Then I slept like a baby.

I just ran across this and I thought I might share it, it gave me hope and pause..
 
Once upon a time there
was a Chinese farmer
whose horse ran away.
That evening, all of his
neighbors came around
to commiserate.
They said,
“We are so sorry to hear
your horse has run away.
This is most unfortunate.”
The farmer said,
“Maybe.”
 
The next day the horse
came back bringing seven
wild horses with it, and in
the evening everybody
came back and said,
“Oh, isn’t that lucky.
What a great turn of events.
You now have eight horses!”
The farmer again said,
“Maybe.”
 
The following day his son
tried to break one of
the horses, and while
riding it, he was thrown
and broke his leg.
The neighbors then said,
“Oh dear, that’s too bad,”
and the farmer replied,
“Maybe.”
 
The next day the
conscription officers
came around to conscript
people into the army,
and they rejected his
son because he
had a broken leg.
Again all the neighbors
came around and said,
Isn’t that great!”
Again, he said,
“Maybe.”
 
The whole process of
nature is a process of
tremendous complexity,
usually impossible to tell
whether anything that
happens in it, ends up
good or bad.
 
You never really know
what the consequences
of the event may turn
out to be, sometimes
indifferent, other times
bad or good fortune.
One should go with
the flow of events and
stay in equanimity ~

@jeanne-mayell 

Seriously?  I wasn't hungry about 15 minutes after I posted.  You probably had just eaten.  I had not.  haha

@lovendures ? anybody knows that.. as long as there is a human servant for the cat to command...the cat thinks "Why ..should I go out and hunt to eat or survive when I have trained my human minion so very very well?" Mine have trained me well... ten minutes to 5pm? Oh.. there you are my human.. yes... I , and the other cats..require our canned meat now - yes.. I know you serve it at 5pm... we are working on training you to move it up to 4:30 .. remember how we got it moved up from 5:30 ??? Why, yes.. I am sure you do.... oh.. and don't think you 'll sleep in late tomorrow.. you know we eat our breakfast at 6am sharp. That is all now.. you may go."
