Do you think there are more whackos nowadays than there used to be?
It seems so, but most of us have access to a wide range of media sites these days, and we hear about whackos every day.

~ What kind of frozen pizza do you like? I don't like any frozen pizza. I'm a few blocks away from Grotto Pizza, fresh made, a Delaware tradition.

~ Do you have a keyboard on your device you are using right now? Is it an on-screen keyboard or a physical keyboard? I have a keyboard, not an on-screen one.
Do you like it? It works for me.

~ Anything that you noticed lately that the price increase was so much that it's nutso: Yes, Gasoline.

~ Have you any cheese that you can sprinkle on your Italian meal? Yes

~ Have you ever had the pleasure of paddling/rowing on a pond or lake? YesWhere at? Noxentown Lake and other ponds/lakes around me.

~ Do you still wear a mask when going into a business? No

~ What kind(s) of milk do you buy or drink? Almond milk, for my healthy shakes

~ Order an Italian meal or make one...what will it be? I'll make my own, all fresh, and I know my meatballs are made from fresh ground, top quality beef. Added to that, when I make my meatballs I wear plastic kitchen gloves. Prego sauce is my favorite.

***** Everyone stay well as can be and don't go bursting anyone's balloons! ***** Thanks! *****
Thanks Roosty! No, I won't do that.

Good Morning

Do you thin there are more whackos nowadays than there used to be? Yes.

~ What kind of frozen pizza do you like? I haven't had frozen pizza in years. When the urge strikes we get at the local Mom & Pop, think crust pizza Margherite.

~ Do you have a keyboard on your device you are using right now? Is it an on-screen keyboard or a physical keyboard? I'm on my PC which has a physical keyboard. My I-Pad also has an attachable physical keyboard

Do you like it? I like both, yes.

~ Anything that you noticed lately that the price increase was so much that it's nutso: Dairy products is what I mostly noticed, but it's really just about everything has gone up, food products in particular are smaller and you're getting less of it.

~ Have you any cheese that you can sprinkle on your Italian meal? Parmesan or Pecorino Romano.

~ Have you ever had the pleasure of paddling/rowing on a pond or lake? Where at?

~ Do you still wear a mask when going into a business? Yes. Doesn't bother me cause the best part is that it has done wonders at lessening the suffering from my allergies.

~ What kind(s) of milk do you buy or drink? In our culture all types of milk are popular and can talk for an hour or 2 on different ways to have it in desserts and espresso coffee so here it goes for me, Skim milk in the AM's cafe con leche the Spanish version of an Italian latte. After lunch a dash of 1/2 warm evaporated milk with 1/2 hot espresso on a demitasse called a cortadito, on occasion a type of dessert is espresso in a cordial with a tbs {or to taste} of sweetened condensed milk called cafe bonbon. See? I did mention talking a lot about milk

~ Order an Italian meal or make one...what will it be? Make one.

***** Everyone stay well as can be and don't go bursting anyone's balloons! ***** Thanks! *****

Thx, you too, a little something to watch together with your kitty to make you smile

Do you think there are more whackos nowadays than there used to be? Definitely. Never saw so many news stories about people physically acting up on airplanes over just about everything.

~ What kind of frozen pizza do you like? Don't like frozen pizza. Don't buy it.

~ Do you have a keyboard on your device you are using right now? Is it an on-screen keyboard or a physical keyboard? Do you like it? Right now I'm posting on my desktop because it's easier and faster for me to use than my tablet. It's a physical keyboard.

~ Anything that you noticed lately that the price increase was so much that it's nutso: On the news they are always taking about the price of eggs being 70% more than a year ago. I don't buy eggs, though, so that doesn't impact me. My cameras' lithium ion batteries (made in China) are $69 apiece, now. My rent increased about $100 per month the last time I signed my lease and I'm used to increases of $0 - $20 per month at lease signing. Plus they told me the complex is full so people aren't buying/renting/selling houses. I don't follow Real Estate news but is it because of interest rates being raised? It used to cost the same to rent a house as it did to rent an apartment around here. Also, after depleting the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (supposed to be for emergencies) to the lowest it has been in 35+ years to lower the price of gas at the pumps for a November event, now gasoline prices at the pumps are back on the rise as they try to get the amount taken, replaced. I'm going on vacation in April so that will impact me but I bet the people (most families because kids are home from school) who travel long distances by car, Memorial Day through Labor Day, are going to be hit hardest, again.

~ Have you any cheese that you can sprinkle on your Italian meal? I buy wedges of Romano cheese to grate and have a wedge in the fridge.

~ Have you ever had the pleasure of paddling/rowing on a pond or lake? Where at? Yes. Lake George, NY when I was a teen.

~ Do you still wear a mask when going into a business? Never. Haven't done that in more than a year...the doctor's office was the last to require one around here and that was last summer, I think.

~ What kind(s) of milk do you buy or drink? Mayfield. It's a farm in Tennessee brand. Have cut down on my milk drinking because it upsets my stomach so rarely buy it anymore.

~ Order an Italian meal or make one...what will it be? Haven't had Chicken Marsala in a long time so maybe buy that if there was a real Italian restaurant around here and not a chain one.

***** Everyone stay well as can be and don't go bursting anyone's balloons! ***** Thanks! *****
Did you know that there is a hobby balloon club in Illinois composed of people 11 years and older who think the balloon shot down over Canada might be one of their $12 balloons since that's where they lost track of it?

Do you think there are more whackos nowadays than there used to be? I don't know, but it sure seems like it.

~ What kind of frozen pizza do you like? Gee, I don't know. I haven't had one in many years. Long ago, I used to like to get cheap Jack's pizzas and put my own toppings and additional cheese on top.

~ Do you have a keyboard on your device you are using right now? Is it an on-screen keyboard or a physical keyboard? Physical keyboard on my laptop.
Do you like it? Yes, I like it a lot. I have a large laptop (17.1") and the keyboard is nearly the size of an external keyboard. That enables me to type very fast and more accurately than I would on a smaller device. (Though I still make my share of typos! )

~ Anything that you noticed lately that the price increase was so much that it's nutso: Eggs. Just about everything, actually.

~ Have you any cheese that you can sprinkle on your Italian meal? I have some shredded parmesan in the fridge.

~ Have you ever had the pleasure of paddling/rowing on a pond or lake? Yes; many times. Where at? Small lakes here and there in IN, MI, MN and WI. Also some rivers in IN and WI.

~ Do you still wear a mask when going into a business? On rare occasions, when it's very crowded and people are close together. Also at medical facilities, which still require masks.

~ What kind(s) of milk do you buy or drink? Sugar-free almond milk. Silk is my favorite brand, but if it's not available in the store I'll take another brand. Almond milk has about 50% more calcium than cow's milk, so I feel it helps keep my bones strong. I occasionally buy cow's milk if it's called for in a recipe.

~ Order an Italian meal or make one...what will it be? Lasagna with lots of Italian sausage and some buttery garlic bread on the side.

***** Everyone stay well as can be and don't go bursting anyone's balloons! ***** Thanks! *****

Thanks for the fun fill-ins, roosty!

I haven't ever found one that I cared for.

~ Do you have a keyboard on your device you are using right now? Is it an on-screen keyboard or a physical keyboard?
