I had no choice and I'm not getting into that here. Let's just say this
state is very left leaning and leave it at that.

Really? No choice in letting someone who broke your oven door,
allegedly stole toilet paper from your garage, brought in a girlfriend
who you didn't like who didn't like you into your house. No choice?
You do *own* that house, don't you? That gives you plenty of rights.

The "left leaning state" has no right to tell you he has to stay there.
Ever heard of a "quit claim"? It's a notice of eviction.

I've never heard a thing about him contributing anything towards your
household. It's so much more dramatic to let him stay there. You even
wrote you don't mind if he ruins your old pots and pans and he won't
listen if you tell him to set a timer.

I think you're terrified to live alone.

It never crossed my mind to 'smell' for done-ness with pasta. I usually
gauge it by the way it looks and floats in the water. The taste test
works. My ex would throw it against the back splash and if it stuck it
was ready.

I prefer to taste it.

But then, I make my own pasta most the time so it's usually pretty
quick. Now that I think about it, I do smell my pasta but it was
unconscience until now. When it's homemade you can still smell the flour
if it's not cooked. So yeah...

Is it the current Covid thing? Landlords are not allowed to
evict tenants for now due to not paying rent and maybe not
for any reason.

No it's not. My ex quit claimed my house to me. He was an owner.

Evicitons are not allowed right now. They keep changing the date as to when
they will be. The courts are not open for things like that so we can't even
file. We are all to stay where we are.

Bullshit. I lived alone for many years and also when he wasn't here. He
doesn't live in this house and most of the time now he's not even on this
property.

If he were to set a time, I'd have to listen to the beeping. I can't explain
some of the things he does that make no sense. And I have better things to
do than to try to figure them out.

Yes. Courts are closed and evictions are not allowed. We're already overrun
with homeless and they are trying to make sure we don't get any more. Things
are very bad here with so many people unable to work due to restrictions.
Many businesses have just had to close because they can't wait around to see
when or if they'll be allowed to reopen. Many people are starving and the
regulations are leading to stupidity. Crops can't be picked or transported
so the food is rotting while people are starving. There will be a revolt
here. People are fed up!

Have you tried pointing a shotgun at him and politely asking him to
leave? I bet he would leave.

I believe the no eviction rule in place at the current time
nationally. The time ran out on that and the republicans (right wing)
won't go forward with new rules.
How come you are explaining your situation as though you don't live in
the US with the rest of us. We all are experiencing the same thing --
even most of the world is.

i don't see anything in the news about anyone starving.

around here they are saying they're going to harvest 22.5 million
bushels of apples this year. pretty much the same as last year.

the previous trips to the store i didn't see many more skinny
people either. the usual chubby folks walking around buying junk
food.

I don't have a shotgun, nor can I get one. Fingerprints are required for gun
permits and due to Covid, fingerprints are deemed dangerous.

My dad had a BB gun. I was banned from using after shooting little holes all
around the target he put up on the closet door. The target had a lot of
cardboard behind it. The places I hit did not. And yes, I was aiming at the
danged bulls eye. I can't play darts either.

They're fed up because they're starving. The food banks don't have enough
food. One of my friends made up boxes of food and was handing them out to
anyone who showed up. I donate to the food bank when I can. But given all
the rules that they have now, certain things like bulk beans and rice can
not be given out. And the locations that used to allow people to shop, can
no longer do that. Everyone is given a box, but that box my or may not
contain food suitable for their family. Some places just resumed meal
delivery such as meals on wheels, but only some.

I have friends in other areas and the rules are not the same. My friend in
Chicago said everything is open again. Business as usual.

I don't know of a national eviction rule. I don't watch TV or the news. I
hear the local news and the press releases from our local authorities and
our Governor is the one enforcing things here. We have to wear a mask at all
times, even outdoors. I know other areas are not required to do that.

I don't know where you live. Many businesses here are still shut down,
people are still out of work and due to the 35 million dollars that was
given to Nigerian scammers, many people that should have been given
unemployment, didn't get a dime. The government lied and said all were paid.
Bull. Yes, there is an investigation.

Most of our cherry crop never made it to market.

Most people here have put on weight because they're eating crap now instead
of healthy food. Our diet has changed. Because I'm only supposed to shop
once every two weeks, I'm buying much less fresh produce. Good, fresh meat
is often not available. There were slim pickin's on the lunch meat at the
Walmart Neighborhood Market. We've been eating less meat. Most of the meat I
have been buying is precooked, Hormel or Del Real. Why? It's available.
Justin is eating mostly cold cereal, pasta with Parmesan and canned
vegetables. No, not all mixed together. We don't normally eat cereal. I've
been trying to eat some but I don't like it very much, nor is it good for a
diabetic. Cheese is now our main source of protein. I can always find that
but it might not be the kind I want.

My shopping now in no way shape or form is like it used to be. I order what
I can online, and when in the store, I grab what I can find.

We have lost weight. I've been working out a lot. He's just getting a lot of
physical labor type work.

I don't bring much home in the way of junk food. If I don't buy it, we can't
eat it.

I heard on the radio that people are treating this as a vacation and on a
vacation, all rules fly out the window.

This concept makes no sense to me. I hate eating crap food. it makes me feel
lousy, so I just don't eat it. I do get tacos from time to time. No, not
Taco Bell with their beef enhanced with oats. Yick.

Yes, corona fatties. People also eat out of boredom, I guess. I'd love
it if I had an office job and could now work from home. Anyway, I was
already working from home and nothing has changed.

There are no state licensing requirements for the possession of rifles, shotguns or handguns.

And of course we all know you don't need a federal permit for a shotgun, unless it's
a short-barrel.

An order from the secretary of health requires Washingtonians to wear face coverings in public spaces and shared spaces, both indoors and outdoors. Examples include hotel or apartment hallways, outdoors where many people are gathered such as parks, playgrounds or popular walking paths, and in a restaurant when not seated and eating. People are individually responsible to comply with this order.

Nothing about "every two weeks":

Continued vigilance, including limiting trips outside the home, social distancing, regular hand washing and wearing face coverings in public is crucial to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and allow us to resume normal economic activity.

I was absent from here for quite a while, and didn't know about your divorce. You could leave BotHell far behind and move to beautiful Bel Nor, where you could live in a house with a brand new clay tile roof and gleaming copper guttering. The only caveat is, um, I don't know how experienced you are with anal intercourse, and I don't want to know, but I think that allowing an occasional penile foray into the rectum would go a long ways toward ensuring domestic harmony.

Heck, I bet he'd be gentle. I mean he's not some macho army dude, but rather effeminate. If you were close to the same size, you might even share dresses. Before you dismiss the idea entirely, however uncomfortable anal intercourse might seem, you really would get used to it, especially if you were willing to employ that wonder of 20th century technology, the butt plug. Hey, it's like the old poem:

You be the hen
and I be the rooster
Anything you do
You gots to get used ter

P.S. The grocery stores here are rather well stocked.

Get arrested. The cops have no problem with fingerprinting
you.

There is absolutely nothing dangerous about fingerprints.
They press your fingers onto an ink pad then roll fingers
out on a piece of paper. It's just ink on paper.

Doctor put my mom on Meals on Wheels six months ago
and it's never ended. Hey...you can't just stop those
and let the old people suffer.

She's very old and doesn't cook much anymore. My sister
lives with her but doesn't cook either. >:-|
Mom evidently had been living on frozen dinners and fast
food take out. Doctor "prescribed" Meal on Wheels for
her to get better nutrition.

Meals on Wheels is free but since Mom isn't poor, she
pays them each month. They do ask that if you can pay,
just send us...I think she said it's only about $20 per month.

They come every weekday but on Friday, they deliver extra.
Enough for the weekend too. Whatever they bring, it's always
a balanced meal plus fresh fruit, juice, milk, etc.

With the Covid virus, they bring the meal to the door,
knock on it or ring the bell, then they stand back for
her to open the door. They wait until someone opens
the door and they ask, "are you doing ok?"

If no one answers the door, they will her or 911
to check on her. It's not just daily meals, it's also
daily talking to you to make sure all is fine.

Good excuse but not true. Eating crap food might not give you
good nutrition but gaining weight is due to eating too much food
each day, healthy food or not. You need to exercise too as you
get older to compensate for the normal slower metabolism.

They were not fingerprinting here either. No touching. Covid is the
danger.

I thought all short-barrel shotguns were illegal for citizens.
Made that way, known as a combat shotgun. But a sawed off
long barrel is for criminals only? None of them care about
permits.

Yeah but washing hands is a simple solution. The cops probably
do that after fingerprinting.

Every state is different, in NY a background check is required for
buying a shotgun. The dealer has a phone number to call, gives the
info, and takes about an hour to hear the results of the check. Felons
won't be approved but then they would buy off grid.

I purchased a new shotgun about a year ago, no fingerprints required.
The dealer phoned to do a background check, just had to supply info
off my drivers licence, took less than an hour to be approved. I went
home with my new Winchester 12 ga.

I'm sure the cops do wash after fingerprinting however there are no
fingerprints required to purchase a shotgun. You can buy a shotgun on
line from many sporting goods stores... just need approved ID (drivers
licence), no fingerprints... order on line and it'll be shipped to a
store near you for pickup.
An automobile is considered a deadly weapon, no finger prints are
required to obtain a drivers licence and to purchase an automobile.

You can find the regs if you google for federal shotgun permit

We covered your "I'm only supposed to shop
once every two weeks" here, in rfc, many months ago. You may shop
whenever you want to, no one is checking on you. I know that you are
going out of your home for other reasons more than once every two
weeks. You don't get it -- it is advised that you limit your travel
from one place to another unless necessary. It has nothing to do with
food shopping.
Julie, you have the same shopping opportunities that others in the
Pacific Northwest do. There is no food shortage now. You can find
all varieties of raw, fresh meat and all goods now just as you could
before Covid-19.
You are sounding silly

I'm not looking for one so I won't bother. I just thought you
already knew. Evidently not. Was your comment just a guess?

I remember when you bought that shotgun. More like 3 years ago
lol but I do know how time passes quickly as we get older.
Or did you buy another one last year?

Anyway, I know to buy any gun here requires a background check
but don't know about finger prints.

My only gun (shotgun) was a christmas present when I was
13. I ended up selling it when I was 16. Hunting
seemed fun early but wasn't so fun once I killed an animal.

As Julie would say, "Not my thing" heheh

No, it was not a guess. I wanted to make sure I wasn't wrong, so I performed
the google that I recommended to you. Since I don't want a permit for a
sawed-off, I moved on as soon as I found I was right that a normal shotgun
does not require a federal permit.
