Interesting to hear (read) all these personal, yet otherwise public stories.
Of course we could 'order' our groceries or any other items and have them
delivered as well, here in the States or any other place, I presume.
Only personally I prefer to see what I am getting, most of the time.
Especially with the food being 'contaminated' with all kinds of chemicals as
so-called preservatives or other deadly 'invaders' and to top it off
'eradiated', meaning they are nutritionally 'dead'.
Yet in your case, Joan, you don't have much of a choice, if any.
And that's a pity, I must say.
On the other hand you may have special protection and I certainly hope so.
The best to You and All,

Harry.

I like to see what I'm buying on certain things, which is why I do a
Friday top up shop but that's only for a few things and I have that
delivered g well it's a bit hard trying to carry shopping and use a
walking stick and all on a bus g

The big shop though, tins and frozen don't need to be specially picked and
the shopper always goes for the best date and you're told if it's not got
such a good date as they'd like, you can send it back if you don't want it
and get your money refunded.

I would struggle here without electricity, the village doesn't have mains
gas, I have to heat light and cook with electric, well the heating is oil
but it needs the electric to make it work.
The only problem with using the fire is that it's only heating one room,
all that mess for one room, and I'm mainly down the other end in my office
on the computer so wouldn't get any benefit g

Not sunny here today it's been snowing for most of it g

How amazing!! You folks get your groceries delivered???? That is so
1950's to us. Mind you, I would be quite happy not to have to go out in
minus 20C weather. We have piped in natural gas for the furnace, so
other than a major explosion somewhere, no problems for heat.

If the hydro (electricity) went down, we would have NO water, furnace or
lights. Happened a few summers ago and we were 4 days without the above.
I think not having hydro was worse than water.........at least I could
buy bottled stuff.

Oh, and can't use our fireplace because in 22 years we have never had a
chimney sweep clean it out and won't use it until we do. 3 doors down
had a fire in the walls caused by the creosote buildup and the idiots
didn't have any insurance. It is MANDATORY if one has a mortgage, so not
sure how they got around that one. As no one seems to be working in that
family, I can only assume they are on Social Assistance (PC word for
welfare).

I could go online and order groceries to be delivered, but somehow just
can't do it. I want to see what I am buying!!

Sunny, but cold here........Heather
