on coping with C19 lockdown

More like Land of the Stupid...

The ad, which is narrated by Noem, describes South Dakota as the "land of the free."

The land of the "Free to be stupid?"

I get that's supposed to be a joke, but timing is everything in comedy and that timing is so wrong, it's just not that funny.
"there's nothing worse . . " ?

Exactly.....especially where the Apocalypse continues....I had my Friday dry martini last night and it was great. I thought it right on. You have to be a martini connoisseur to appreciate the comment.

BTW here is the context....

Besides the right temperature an olive is also important. It's the little things in life that make it worth living!

Anyways if the Trials come off next year all are welcome to my house for a dry martini. They are legendary I must add. I also make a mean Manhattan now.

RAGU bans Canada market for pasta sauce. Rumored to be C-19 reason?

The relatively cheap product when on sale only interests me with their marinara variety. Which is of course why I can't find it anywhere. I went to a large market and asked for 15 bottles. They told me no.

This is a real strange thing to see. It is still for sale in the UK, but Im not sure if that has anything to do with ingredient sourcing or population as the UK is twice as populated?

There are lots of things worse than a not-so-good martini; going hungry and not being able to do anything about it; fxxxing martinis are a luxury and many people do not have many of them, especially right now.

OTOH, I have lived a long and eventful life without mixing or drinking a martini... or anything stitched on my pillow. :
