    I think I will go out and bury some chopped banana peels around my rose bushes.

    I'm all for following the "social distancing" rules where possible.

    Some friends in their seventies have individual disabilities. She's nearly blind and he had an aortic aneuryism ten years ago, lost a leg and a kidney, but has an artificial leg and can get about with difficulty, on crutches. Yesterday they went by taxi to Sainsbury's to get some shopping, but the "jobsworth" at the door wouldn't let them both in. So the "jobsworth" manager was called over. He confirmed only one could come in.
    Having explained the problem once, our friends explained again. "One of us is nearly blind so can't see the products and the other can't manager a trolley, which of us do you suggest does the shopping?" He was unmoved, so they went home.

    As a former general manager of superstores, a couple of dacades ago now, mind, I'd have have found an assistant to take the list our friends had and got the shopping done for them. But then I was a "real manager," who could make a decision, those days seem long gone.

    Most stores in our area offer / you call in your order, drive into the area and a worker will bring your groceries out and place them in your trunk.
    I know a man who has trouble with his leg and does his shopping that way. Also a couple here shop the same way. They're capable, but prefer to stay out of public places.

    I think it has gotten out of hand.

    We wear masks and gloves when we go out. That is less to protect us than to protect others. We aren't sick, show no symptoms, but want others to feel secure.
    Kindness and consideration are catching, too.

    just don't pee on people and then pants are no longer necessary. I guess if you are sick and can't control your peeing... you should wear pants. lmao

    I have taught my wife that certain plants near the garage benefit from a particular type of compost starter that only I know about. Never stop peeing outside. And never let someone take credit for your favorite bush!
