Tomorrow this, tomorrow that … it’s always “tomorrow” with you. Stop procrastinating and do something TODAY for once. I’m moving in with my boyfriend at the beginning of April. ---

Better your trip to Paris die than YOU AND EVERYONE YOU INFECT! Got no benign statement, we’re in a pandemic and the stock market’s crashing. ---

So, you’re going to attend one funeral, and create the opportunity for three or four more. Thanks, Typhoid **chela**. Did an 11-mile long run this morning, and the sprained knee held up. The boy is back! ---

Riigghtt, so you’re going to run 11 miles on a sprained knee, make it worse, and require medical treatment which would have been completely unnecessary if you’d shown a bit more common sense, while COVID 19 victims desperate for care wait in line so that your knee can be looked at. Selfish! My plan had been to have a maximum of two cats, yet somehow I find I have four felines. ---

Do you have any idea how many birds and small rodents domestic cats kill every year? Thanks for replacing the mockingbirds, jays, and mourning doves with mrowwls and the scent of cat piss! My cats are strictly indoor beasties. ---

Ever see “Grey Gardens”? Two old ladies in their mansion eating creamed corn while dozens of feral cats roam about, piles of tuna cans and cat piss and feces all over. Is that like your house, cause guess what, no one is coming to your house. Wash your hands, everybody! ---

I’m not. Now what do we talk about? I’m thinking about what I should have for a snack, I’m hungry. ---

walk it off or drink a glass of water or do like the hobbits when hungry tighten your belt and keep marching. Hoopla has increased the number of borrows for it’s patrons. ---

Wait how would that even work? 350 million people all standing 6 feet apart? Where would that be, the Mall of America, which isn’t even available for rent? Never mind getting everyone there when planes aren’t even flying. I mean the whole thing’s a logistical nightmare. Nice thought though. Patx2 probably meant we should all try to get along. ---

Yes, I did mean that, does this mean I can’t say anything even slightly negative about you, shucks! My daughter is upstairs and just called my husband who is sitting here on the couch, guess she’s following the distance rules. ---

Gee no that’s NOT what I meant, say whatever you like, my skin’s not that thin, geez. Anyway you GUESS she’s following social distancing rules? I’d say that’s a good guess. Just had a group video chat with my daughters, my son and my niece (and 4 dogs). ---

SO IT’S YOU! You’re the one who is slowing down the internet, by video chatting just to make faces at each other and listen to dogs bark,while I’m working over here! It’s essential, I need another head of cabbage and a nice plump eggplant. ---

SO, staying shut inside has driven you insane, as you now talk and converse with vegetables as if they were people, instead of cooking them! Get outside, get some air, take a walk, before you go completely mad! Workin’ on a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. ---

You know there are bound to be missing pieces you are wasting your time! I’m done with cooking and cleaning, I want take-out and roomba!
