I'd never heard of No Joy before, so went to check her out on YouTube. Love, love, love. Thanks for making my day a bit better! 

My stepson's mother is an anti-masker. My stepson is not immunocompromised, but our family is, and he goes between houses. She has screaming fits saying that it's her right not to put a mask on him, and if she gets Covid-19, she's making sure 200 other people go down with her. All in all she's very charming, and if…

I think that's all over America a month from now. 

My kids voted for mochi instead of something more traditional, like apple pie, so that’s what we had for our 4th of July dessert.

I did that too. I walked away and totally forgot about it. My cat came in and started meowing in an urgent way she never had before. I followed her to the kitchen, and realized what happened! I tried renaming her Lassie after that, but it didn't stick. 

I wore makeup for my family’s Easter zoom party, but otherwise no. It’s crazy here in my house, and I’m lucky if I get to my skin care regime at night. My favorite makeup company can’t ship stuff out right now, so I'm kind of pretending makeup doesn't exist, lol. 

I know! I don't understand because it has to be the same thing, just in patty form! But yeah, we've had the same reaction to the crumbles. 

Yay, craft thread! I’m a knitter, but I’ve been sewing more than anything because PA is making masks mandatory while going into any businesses. Sewing some for family and friends led into a rabbit hole of mask sewing. That said, I don’t like sewing. People comment that I must find mask making relaxing, and it’s…

See, that’s my ultimate plan. We get chickens for “eggs,” and then they just mysteriously multiply and I sneak in silkie chickens and bantams, just because they're cute. 

I empathize 100%. I do enjoy cooking, but doing it all the time is exhausting. And I’m not ashamed to heat up a frozen pizza and call it a day, but I bought mostly healthy stuff last time I shopped, so it’s endless cooking from scratch. Next time we get groceries, it’s going to be so many boxes of chicken nuggets and…

I made a meatloaf a few hours ago using Beyond Beef. It turned out quite good, and meaty tasting. 

People are jerks! I’m sorry your husband had to deal with that. Your lemon seed poppy cake looks amazing, however.

My area too. Fast food workers in particular are getting spit on. It's disgusting, and my faith in humanity is rapidly shrinking. 

I love them!! Barred rock is my first choice because I kept hearing they're friendly and great layers. Also love their names. :)

They are so cute!! What kind of chickens are they? I desperately want backyard chickens, but my husband isn't 100% on board. 

I’m trying to fix my succulents. I’m terrible with plants and one of my succulents is a gangly disaster, but I’m trying to trim it and propagate the extra leaves. This doesn't sound fun, but it kind of is. 

Yup. We have two kids and were considering one more, but nope. Now we’re going to get chickens instead.

We’re still paying for preschool too. They do have Circle Time via Zoom a few times a week, but it really doesn’t warrant the $$$ we’re spending for her to sit at home.  

Thank you! I can't wait to try this. 

Is anyone else negotiating shared custody through this? We have 50/50 custody of my stepson, and the weekly switch makes me very nervous because his mom isn’t taking social distancing seriously, and my daughter and I are both immunocompromised. He still has playdates while at his mom’s, and they have people over for…
