  Emergency COVID Ration Spam Fritters

  by Simon in

  so as things are now opening up and food never ran out, i've been dipping into our emergency supplies.

  they say that spam doesn't have a shelf-life, it has a half-life, but i kind of wanted to see if it was like i remembered as a kid.. as it turns out spam fritters are as delicious as i remember, probably better ('cause i did fancy ones).

  i used this recipe and they were glorious.

  There are some videos on YouTube of people opening up and eating canned foods from the 1950's and 1960's, check them out.

  What Fun Things Have You Been Doing While In Lock-Down?

  by Simon in

  so we've all been locked down and there's only so much netflix / prime / disney / hbo you can watch and computer games you can play.

  what has everyone been doing to pass the time?.

  when you're completely stuck inside and working from home it can get a bit boring staring at the same walls all day and then in the evening as well.

  Phoenix - I remember growing up with a clock that looked just like that. My folks also kept the old style radio from the 50's. When the radio purchased in the early 70's broke down, my mother just replaced it with the older one from the 50's, lasted a long time.

  I am starting to think there is more to these riots than just some meets the eye.

  the fake news wants us to believe that one cop who murdered one person sparked all this.

  i am seeing this crap in london and around the world.

  this does not make any sense.

  Did Obama give his speech about racism and inequality in America from his $15m mansion in Martha's Vineyard?

  Would you feel better if he gave it from the worst neighborhood in the South Side of Chicago or any other city for that matter?
  

  Not all African Americans live in a mansion as they have earned and not all live in lower income neighborhoods, some just might be in your neighborhood and some may share your opinions and some don't share your opinions, such is life.

  i hope that within the next several months we will get back to some type of normalcy.

  will restaurants ever get filled again?

  will you ever be able to sit at a bar or go to a concert or broadway show?.

  I think the marker will be around holiday time, starting with Thanksgiving. I would think all the dept. stores will be open by November, I just want to see if the frenzied Xmas shoppers will still carry on as usual, although these past years it's been noted that a lot of people were doing there holiday shopping online, but still the stores are usually packed starting after Turkey Day.

  As far as the job market goes, I know all the folks in HR at every company are now weighing the facts about who they need and who they don't need since everyone is working from home now. CBS just laid off some of their on air talent, as well as the behind the scenes folks, so you know what going to happen in the average offices, major layoffs

  In 2020 In Your Country or State Are Race Relations Better or Worse Than Before?

  archie bunker from all in the family was considered by many as a racist.

  there are still many people who think and act like him.

  of course, in today’s world, there are many extremes.

  eyeuse2badub - I agree with your statement above, It sure sounds like many of my fellow forum members here subscribe to the slogan "Being white makes everything right!" but I also agree with the statements being made about why do African-Americans tear up there own neighborhood, I think that is totally ridiculous too.

  There is no rhyme or reason to that, if a a white cop shoots a black guy why would I want to set fire to my own neighborhood? What does that accomplish? Absolutely nothing, then that's when some want to holler "when are you going to come fix this up"? Makes no sense whatsoever, I don't want to totally think they should leave it that way as a lesson about your actions have consequences, because some people think like me who might be living next door to the people who think they have the right to destroy their neighborhood and have nothing to do with looting and destruction,

  OK then Minimus, by the way, I think you're a bigot and one of the worst racists I've ever encountered on any social media board, not just this one . . . . . . . . . . . . .is that the way it works?

  Im getting used to the people here, I myself hear no sarcasm in the comments in my post. I believe I can tell a flat out racist statement from sarcasm, but of course you have the right to disagree.

  Well, since comments such as: "Them people are finally learning to stay in their own part of town and keep to their own kind. Otherwise they'll be one less of 'em to worry about"

  And the comment in response to it is: "Rub , u rite ‘gain, bro"

  Then my comment is this, is one of the most racist JW Boards I've ever seen and I feel confident in saying that just like the two people who made the comments I quoted above are. At least it is offered here comments can be made from both sides of the argument here.

  i did this in my facebook group for my podcast and it was fun.. so what's the craziest thing you ever saw?.

  for me it was watching a brother have a heart attack during the meeting in the auditorium.

  i was a kid and noticed him shaking and acting strange.

  We had our only anointed brother in the Cong excuse himself to go to the bathroom too.

  Those who thought that they were going to live in heaven forever with Jehovah were usually kind of quirky and that's putting it nicely.

  However, he and his wife finally saw the real light and stopped attending a couple of decades ago.
