Yeah... I never understood the idea that homeschool kids were less social. The ones I know had the gamut of personalities and successes/failures that "regular" school kids show.
The quirkiness of kids in general is just unreal. Some are like miniature accountant adults, others should be in the circus. Not sure which I prefer... probably the circus ones...lol
Agreed it is not the way things should be under normal circumstances. Hopefully this will be the last pandemic in our lifetimes. The kids I see seem to be "normal", but I did not know them last year, and who knows how this has affected them psychologically. I really don't think it would have been wise to have it be like Sept 2019 though
Our school has been really trying to keep things as normal as possible. But CDC guidelines translate into state education leader guidelines that have been tough to negotiate. Kids can talk to their friends here to some extent, but we have to work to keep them from huddling up together (for now). Hopefully this will get easier on them as we move forward. I know evey school and district has done this differently
Our son's gf works in our local hospital.. she says right now there is a decent uptick in the number of Covid patients there. But zero have been vaccinated people. Small sample though
I’m getting around one student per week being out for Covid. Either themselves or someone in their household.
But def way down. No adult I know in quite a while
I really enjoy the 110 Grille They make a good Moscow Mule!
Anyway, some relaxed regs in Mass starting tomorrow. Amusement parks (Six Flags), indoor singing, road races, stadiums etc will be allowed 25%
Looking to do my first flying in late July
The one near me makes decent sushi. I get it for a weekend lunch sometimes if the guy is making it fresh. Good dragon rolls.
Had some RI sopressa a couple of weeks ago on a charcuterie board. I forget the name of who made it.
I haven’t been in one in 20 years or so. They had great salsa I remember. I do a majority of my grocery shopping at Price Chopper in Gardner. They added a beer and wine aisle a couple of years ago and their food selection went way down. There used to be a Stop and Shop nearby that I liked but it closed when they merged with Hannaford. Lots of people in my town drive out to Athol for Market Basket. Super cheap but very busy and chaotic
Yeah. I only buy paper goods and cleaning stuff at Walmart now (which I despise). But their bulk stuff is better for us plus it is very close to me and easier than the supermarket
Maybe not as much I guess. We do eat a bunch of chicken and that has stayed steady for us. Some ground beef. Just made good burgers from 85% for $4 per lb. maybe I follow sales too much?
Bacon has def gone up a bunch.
There is one in the city in which I work but I haven’t been there. Some people love it.
I finally went into a Wegman’s for the first time a few weeks back. Cheaper than I thought. Good beer selection too
