Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

[featherhead007]

Yesterday I decided to watch some other channels and one channel They showed a clip of what someone said (it was either Trump or Fauci ) and switched back to the woman in the news room and while she reiterated what was said it was not the same! That fast! It really pi$$es me off. She should have just left the 10 second comment just stand on it's own without "reiterating"

Who re-idiot-tated that? gezzz

My husband and I lived in France for a while when we were young. Camembert was a staple. We called it "smelly sock cheese" but, man!, did we develop a taste for it.

Funny thing that taste and smell are intimately related. Some smells warn us to stay away from thing. Some invite us. Some are a little iffy but they may belong to really delicious things!

And speaking of WWII fare, I've had a serious hankering for chipped beef on toast lately. Does anyone still sell chipped beef?

OMG! Lived in France? Wonderful! How different? I grew up with a father in the Air Force and lived 4 years in Turkey and 2 years in Germany. Wouldn't have me grown up any other way!

I believe it was a woman newscaster on CNN-not to say it doesn't happen on others. I just happened to catch this one.

I have always always wanted to try limburger. That Andrew Zimmerman guy ate it on his show once and it looked so delicious and gooey. I don't care if it stinks, I want some!!! Cheese ftw only the gooey kind tho!

It literally smells as if it has been eaten, digested and excreted. My mother wrapped it in aluminum foil, put it in an empty peanut butter jar, covered it with waxed paper and closed the jar. We were warned when my father was going to eat it.

Another of my father's favorites. SOS - I liked it.

As far as I know, the OP can change the title. So who opened this thread?
Isn't it affected not effected?

I'm not saying it is true across the board but people who have traveled seem to be much more enlightened.
Mark Twain said,
“ Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime. ”

Every time we traveled, we took the children with us. I believe that was my greatest gift to them.They have both become travel Nazis.
While I've been to over 20 countries, my kids have been to many more and they are much younger than I was when I started traveling. My daughter was lucky enough to get out of Peru in February before they closed the borders.

We've been lucky enough to have lived-in France and South Africa and British Columbia many times.

It's wonderful. It gives you perspective. There are many, many ways to do things and they're all valid and help create community.

Glad you've been able to do that too. Turkey! How exotic!

Affect relates to feelings and reactions. Effect relates to how something is changed. Of course, with respect to Covid we all have felt big changes and have an emotional reaction to what it's done to our lives.

If anyone wants to make either case, I'll upvote you!!!
