Maybe your hubs is just a social person who desperately needed some human contact. This is not an insult on you, but a spouse can rarely provide all of the social interraction that their mate needs for healthy mind and spirit.
And no, it wouldn't have been weird to make a sandwich. You should have done it, and maybe even asked the guests if they wanted a sandwich too, and maybe offer them a beer out of Hubby's stash, LOL!
Anyway, I'm convinced that the psychological damage being done by all the social distancing is far worse than we think. And yeah, I say this with full knowledge of what's happening in India. It is what it is.
Covid, or rather, the shutdowns from Covid is killing those of us who are by our natures social creatures. Or rather, killing our spirits, which may be worse than anything the Covid can do to our bodies. It just is, and at some point, we either revolt or we just stop caring. I'm seeing more and more "don't care" attitude on the masks in public. I've seen whole families carousing about in Walmart sans masks.
Forced solitude is anathema for those of us who are social. Maybe even a prison of sorts. When I say somebody is social, I mean "in person social", not "online social". They are WAY DIFFERENT things. Hard solitude, whether forced by covid, social norms, illness, or age, can make you crazy like the inside of your head is a bag of cats. Even you cat lovers can imagine that as an undesirable picture.
For me, the risk of getting Covid has to be balanced against the potential damage being done by being forced to be a hermit when that goes so far against my personality and my spirit. It's been 2 weeks now since my 2nd vaccination, so now it's time for me to start getting out of the house.
i'm lonely for canine companionship. waiting for iggy to come out and play. he's a bit pitbull mix, likes to sit on my legs. big goofy lap dog lol
iggy the handsome on the left. classic tuxedo
do dogs really learn their names? cuz i call all dogs buppy and they seem to know i talkin to them
The yogurt was full of liquid. Not sure if it is because it is organic or what. Never saw anything like this before. At least not that I can remember. Trying to upload the photos showing proof but this phone is being stupid.
yogurt ususally needs stirring. chobani, the fruit is usually on the bottom
non complaint. 41 items on my wish list. today's sale offering missed all of it. saving money today.
i should buy some clothes for Genesis 8 females. I'm going to check the sales and flash grab pages.

...I've always been somewhat of a loner so the social distancing and shutdowns has not had as profound an effect. Yeah, I do miss my RP gaming groups as it just is not as enjoyable online as it is sitting around a table together in person enjoying pizza, drinks, and snacks, while not having to worry about connectivity or having the proper equipment for a Zoom conference (I neither have a Net camera or gaming headset as otherwise, I have no need for them).
In some ways it's been a blessing as I've been able to get more work done in the way of rebuilding characters and illustrations that were lost a while back when I had a drive meltdown as well as learning modelling.
As to "spirits", my intake has decreased drastically over the last year given the distancing restrictions (the upside is it saved me money). Here in Northwestern Oregon we have never made it beyond phase One (out of 5 phases) of reopening since last June. A second round of stiffer restrictions just went into effect yesterday (similar to last year during the holiday surges), prohibiting inside seating in cafes, restaurants and pubs due to a recent surge in cases and new variants (including two that were recently discovered to have manifested in California to our south). Outside seating is still permitted (thankfully the weather is more hospitable than it was from November through February). as well as to go orders (will be heading out to the corner coffee shop to get some sun in a bit).
did i eat up all the apple pie? one of you'all came over and et it all? lol
The clearish liquid is whey, it's the part of the yogurt Little Miss Muffit* liked to eat while sitting on her big fat tuffet in her spider infested hovel... Whey will often form on the top of regular yogurt if the yougurt is handled roughly in transit... under normal circumstances, the yogurt will get delivered to the stores in tray and be more or less gently placed in the dairy cooler, and when you open it, it looks nice and smooth on top... but when you order it online for example, the delivery person is required by contract to kick it around and juggle it a couple of times.
Agitation will cause the whey to separate out... typically this occurs when you buy a large container and don't finish it right away... poking the spoon into the yogurt or stirring it will cause the whey to separate out after it sits around for a while.
You've probably noticed that if you eat regular yogurt on a roller coaster, this tends to happen quicker... but not with Greek yogurt... which is because Greek yogurt producers tend to remove as much whey as possible.
That's actually an issue because disposing of the whey is a problem as whey is acidic and large quantities of it can pose an environmental hazard.
But being that there are so many better and far more horrendous environmental hazards being created every day, I'm just going to gloss over that and assume by ignoring it somebody who's in a position to address such issues will do so in a timely and effective manner and that five years down the line we are not going to be faced with legions of Chobani Murder Otters who've been mutated by exposure to industrial grade whey being dumped in their streams and rivers... but if we do, remember I called it... right here.
According to the National Yogurt Council (or something stupid like that), you shouldn't throw out the whey in your yogurt, it's full of calcium and other nutrients I don't remember at the moment and it adds tartness to your yogurt, so you should stir it in because it also makes your yogurt creamier too.
I personally think it's kinda nasty looking and probably was what attracted that giant spider to attack Little Miss Muffet and lay eggs in her brain, so I usually pour it out.
Appartently there is a yogurt shop in NYC that actually sells flavored whey shots (amongst other weird concoctions) and advocate for people to mix whey into their morning coffee or smoothies, which is probably tasty if you are prone to mixing random liquids into your coffee and smoothies, but I'm pretty sure it's directly responsible for the increase in giant spider attacks in NYC last summer.
* In case you are not familiar with the nursery rhyme "Little Miss Muffet"...
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her big fat tuffet,
Eating some birds in whey;
There came a great nasty spider,
Who laid eggs inside her
Directly into her brain.
Thats the original version** from 1805 where it first appeared in Horrifying Songs For The Nursery.
Over time many versions have come and gone, but back in the 1700s - 1800s the English and Germans were still competing fiercely to create the most macabre and terrifying nursery rhymes for their children, so the oldest versions are always better for giving little kids nightmares.
** This cannot be verified in this current timeline or reality, but it's definitely a thing in at least two parallel realities.
Regarding the historical information about Nursery Rhyme origins, it's partially fake news. I don't quite remember the rhyme involving the consumption of fowl. And I conveniently blot out the parts about spiders (*shudder*)
Non-complaint: I was in food heaven this weekend. I splurged and ordered a big pizza again. They deliver it from about 8 miles away but I give a big tip. But this time my splurge included a piece of cheesecake. Mmmm... cheesecake.
Also, yesterday a friend asked me over for late lunch/early supper and served homemade lasagna. My mother made incredible lasagna and I hadn't had hers in probably 40 years, and I've been making do for decades with Stoffer's brand frozen lasagna, good but not great. But finally I had something close to mama's lasaga and was force fed more than I can eat and was given two very big pieces to take home with me. I had lasaga for breakfast this morning. Mmmm... lasaga for breakfast.
And there's enough left for two more meals.
Okay... I get it... it's probably not verifiable in this current configuration of "reality", so I added a disclaimer.
But I'm sticking to part of the origin "Songs for the Nursery" and the date... and the macabre kids stuff... especially from Germany... have you ever read a German fairy tale?... a kid steps slightly out of line and they get boiled in oil, someone cuts off their appendages with scissors, they get ground into sausage or eaten by something.
Seriously they are brutal.
'Nother non-complaint: OMG! I've lived long enough to see wacky-weed legalized in NY State. Surely the moon is blue and Hell has frozen over.
I didn't really believe it the first time I heard it a few weeks ago and thought that it was just underground gossip. But in the last couple weeks I've been treated by friends to some nearly forgotten but long remembered smells and experiences. But back in my day (pause for 30 seconds of nostalgic musings) there was plenty available, and consumed among certain crowds that I hung out with. But the product was not always the same quality. There were times it would take two entire joints to be effective.
The stuff available today as typical product is extremely effective, and like what we use to call "Texas Two-toke". One to start the fire, and one to properly imbibe.
Anything more is wasteful overkill. The last time I actually bought any myself 27 years ago, I had to fly across the Atlantic ocean to Amsterdam. But time marches on, and unfortunately, as fond as I was of it in my twenties, I've discovered that in my seventies and as pleasant as the feelings and memories are, it just tends to wind me down when one of my goals in life at this stage is to say wound up enough to function.
(*fate is so cruel*)
Although, I must admit that it makes DAZing more interesting, if not productive.

Wait... it wasn't legal all these years... ?
Hmmm.... that explains a lot of stuff...
Actually, I'm not interested in it for my own use, I've never liked the smell, reminds me too much of burning Ailanthus leaves (those weed trees that grow in every nook and cranny in cities... the branches look sorta like palm fronds).
But, I'm no opponent to it as long as people don't abuse it or do stupid stuff that makes it a problem for other people... "responsible" use I suppose.
I think it was on April 20th, a place in NYC was doing a "Joints for Jabs" vaccine promotion...

I wouldn't be surprised if they open weed shops in Jamestown soon, they are popping up everywhere now.
Dudley Moore nailed that spot on... oddly that's how I've always sung that song too... well, except I use a steel drum instead of a piano... and the steel drum is an old steel garage can... For some reason that song never lulled my kids to sleep when they were little, but from the audience's reaction, I can see they loved it... Very odd.
Fear is a great teacher. Or possibly they were parochial humor.
yogurt makes my tummy feel better when it feels like its burning.
i eat the siggis
i forgot what I wanted to study. I even have Youtube open. Maybe i was looking for tutorials on Photoshop or Gimp?? Hmm. Oh, lighwave... or Lightroom? I think I wanted to learn how to add effects to 2D images.
Isn't the main purpose of Youtube, looking at kitty clips?
I remember the old days when "kitty clips" were called toenail shards.
...it's been legal here in Oregon for a while now and I find it so much better (and safer) than over the counter NSAIDs or prescription opioids for relief from my arthritis Granted it won't allow me to perform Chopin's "Winter Wind" Etude, or ski through trees on the "Shadows" run at Steamboat Springs anymore, but it does help get me through the day a little easier with a bit less stiffness and pain.
..or Russian dash cam videos?
Cloud flare or something, so I will just briefly retype my response.
My husband socializes all the time. We have a pod of people we hang out with, but usually, he goes over there and sometimes I will join him. So I'm not mad that he was hanging out with people, I'm annoyed that they were in MY house, with zero notice, and especially given the fact that technically, we asked one guy to help fix our light, and that guy turned it into a social call and invited someone else without consulting us. I like to deep clean my house before company comes over. I also like to stock up on junk food and lay ground rules. But I didn't get the chance to do any of that. When 1 am rolled around and I wanted to put on PJs and take off my bra and not worry about anyone seeing me, of course I was miffed that the guy that we didn't invite was still here and drinking. Add to that my anxiety around people I don't know well (Todd definitely counts as a person I don't know well), and yeah, it was a bad time for me. It was so crazy for him to be here that late as well! His wife is notorious for having a problem with his day excursions, much less being out in the boonies, an hour away from home, in the wee hours of the night. I kept thinking they would leave any minute, and as the hours ticked by, that probably only made my annoyance worse.
As for sandwiches, there wasn't enough for everyone.
I might have ordered a pizza if I had realized they were going to stay all night.
Anyway: I get my second shot today! Wish me luck!
THOSE I have seen in real life enough to last a lifetime... There's nothing quite like it when you drive on a road with four lanes going your way with seven cars side by side and then you come into a crossing where another road of the same size (and number of cars) is merging with the one you are on... Or the unmarked concrete block across the road in the middle of the night with a Volvo STW wrapped on it "Vanishing Point" style...
Potential.
I don't think I have it anymore.
Or any Russian vehicle related video... it's either going to involve a frozen lake or at some point, the sound of crunching metal.
Energy or Difference? You should double check your potentiometer... sometimes bad batteries give bad readings... hopefully you aren't exhibiting negative potential gravitational energy... in which case you may either be stuck in a gravity well or beginning to manifest a neutrino pulse before you supernova.
