For you the risk is probably minimal, for him a little higher. As long as you don't hug, it seems to me not to be a great risk.

Comparatively, we're doing really well, but we're about to go into winter and nobody knows how seasonal the virus will be. Except Donald Trump, and he knows everything. We have lockdowns that will go for at least another month. Only essential trips out of the house, but shopping and exercise count. Restaurants and cafes are closed for sit down customers but takeaway and delivery is allowed, including wine from licensed premises. A lot of food outlets are being really creative. Schools are open but universities are not, but both are encouraging on-line learning rather than have students attend in person. Canberra is fairly liberal in what you can do, and the police haven't issued any fines, they've just told people what the rules are. Australia has 6.5K cases and 71 deaths, and the trend is down. Here in the Capital Territory (population c400K) we haven't had any new cases in the last six days and we've only had 103 cases and three deaths.

Still warmer than the 19 or 20 degrees here in Canberra the last few days. (That's Celsius.)

Perish the thought!

Have you tried a cucumber?

In the still shot I wondered what was going on here with the strawberry underneath the animal. The video reveals all. There's a pouch joey. [MEDIA=twitter]1251776915955843073[/MEDIA]

It'll be fine.

In this time of isolation, nice, @jjkrkwood

Yes, I get why chains like Sizzler and Arby's set up, what I don't understand is why so many small operations feel the need to set up three, four or fifty outlets rather than just run a single restaurant and make a living. Either go national or stay local.

Yes, that would be a good idea, and perhaps even work out how to post it in a 'quotation box'. That would be good..

This is something that still perplexes me, even though I should be used to it. Why would a place set up outlets with the same name in cities that were remote to each other? There are very few 'chain' restaurants in Australia, the fast food chains, and some coffee and chocolate places but for the most part restaurants are 'one off'. Even related restaurants tend to be named differently, if a chef heads three or four they would have different names. Even within Canberra a Malaysian restaurant I love has an affiliated restaurant with a different name in another suburb.

Yes, Pikes Peak and Pike's pique are entirely different things!

You're not the only one, especially in this forum!

'Stay at home unless what you are doing out is essential.' Travelling for work, buying essential supplies, going to a medical appointment and exercising all qualify. Stopping on your walk and sitting on the grass or on a park bench for a coffee does not. Nor, apparently does sunbaking on the beach. So, [MEDIA=twitter]1251030768316342272[/MEDIA]

Oops, I accidentally did more than some would be clients to check some of your boxes just so I could reply to things you'd posted here!

I'm inclined to give them a break, they're adapting an HIV form of words, where testing and well understood precautions gives some small but not insignificant basis for confidence to a new disease where the test means 'right now' and is negated the minute you walk out the door. I'm fairly sure most of them simply don't understand the difference, or don't realise how meaningless their claim is. Still, saying I'd give them a break doesn't mean I'd pay the slightest attention to the claim. Of course some do know it's bullshit and are playing on potential clients' ignorance of the facts.

Do you still have to field those questions even though there's a link to your personal site and it has that information? Oh wait, I already know the answer to that, they only look at your photos before they message you.

Of course, and you did say 'your favourite escort' so that would imply one you'd previously contacted. Sorry, didn't think of that before my previous post.

Hi AJ, I thought I had seen a note at the top of a frozen ad page saying that we can't contact escorts through those ads, so I checked again and all the contact option are greyed out, so if you meant through RM, then sadly not. If, however, you meant via your personal web site, obviously that is an option!

They are small, about 15cm, but the sort of budgy you were talking about could easily be a grower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budgerigar

Haha, when being able to wipe your arse makes America great!

'Brian Bettong' is an animal character created for a poll on what should be the ACT official mammal, and the bettong is an endangered marsupial that is being bred in a fenced feral-predator free nature reserve on the fringes of Canberra.

This is beautiful! Some dude wanted to return over 100 packs of toilet paper and over 100 large bottles of sanitiser. Supermarket told him to get fcuked. [MEDIA=twitter]1249960162627997696[/MEDIA]
