Because you have a couple of really weird SPAM comments on that post.<br /><br />So, here is what I commented, back there....<br /><br />Please think of the size of the Italy, Germany and Spain. <br /><br />Kinda small, right?<br /><br />Now think of the size of the United States.<br /><br />A whole lot bigger, right?<br /><br />How many of those Italy(s)-Germany(s)-Spain(s), could you put, into the size of the United States???<br /><br />See? <br /><br />A false Pandemic results chart.<br /><br />You don't compare little countries, with many less people, with a huge country, with many, many, many more people.<br /><br /><b>Unless you want to lie, that is.</b><br /><br />But then, it is MSNBC.<br /><br />Beside a babbling brook...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14230422491225783790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483783877001480180.post-13160792104377148052020-08-09T15:32:45.177-06:002020-08-09T15:32:45.177-06:00Yes, I admit I am fully on the dark side now, I on...Yes, I admit I am fully on the dark side now, I only get paper books sometimes for reference. Pretty much all free between library and Facebook websites and lists. I'm back to pickups vs delivery but no in-store shopping. I have though about doing curbside pickups at my yarn store. I live with people who work though and they can go out if I need it.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195838412173806659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483783877001480180.post-71081099054645380022020-08-09T13:05:55.901-06:002020-08-09T13:05:55.901-06:00I only keep a book or two on kindle to read if I’m...I only keep a book or two on kindle to read if I’m stuck somewhere in a waiting room like getting my auto smog check, medical, other. Otherwise i get good clean mostly used paperbacks off the net, then will donate them later to our Friends of the Library that resells them at a nominal price. That activity has been on hold with the virus though expect it will eventually resume. <br /><br />I’m still not going out to stores, using a combination of internet ordering, free grocery tore delivery though i expect to get back to some pickups, and neighbors who get items for me when they shop.

I'm not sure what they will end up being because I make a lousy pie crust. More likely syrup to be used over the winter.<br /><br />I had no idea that a craft store would wind one's yarn.
