Here Comes Summer

The Mistress is making the most of the longer, hotter days and will catch up with you Bitches later.

Note: If you're wondering what happened to the previous post, I removed it because of an image of someone sleeping in their car. Considering what happened in Atlanta the day after I posted it, (the victim was sleeping in his car), I decided to delete that post because of the image of someone sleeping in their car.

Even though that post had nothing to do with that terrible incident, I considered it in bad taste to leave the post up.

Covidiots

This was the scene yesterday at Toronto's Trinity Bellwoods Park...

Click to enlarge photos.

An estimated TEN THOUSAND people crowded into the 37 acre park. To give you an idea of the size, Central Park in New York City is 840 acres, and Kew Gardens in London, England is 300 acres.

Recently, Toronto and other Canadian cities reopened their park amenities after a two month closure due to the pandemic. A caution was issued to limit the size of your group, and to remain six feet apart. 

This is proof that Canadians are just as stupid as everyone else in the world.

Fashion Transitioning Between Seasons

When transitioning between your spring and summer wardrobe, what do you wear?

Canadian Ingenuity

Daniel Rotsztain made a video of himself walking through some of Toronto's busiest streets while wearing a machine that ensures he stays at least two metres (six feet) from others.

In order to avoid physical contact with structures, cars and other people, he's forced to venture out into the middle of the street.

I don't know about you Bitches but The Mistress could really use one of these social distance machines. How is your social distancing going?

Handshaking

Experts agree that handshaking needs to stop; not just during the current pandemic but forever more.

Dr. Anthony Fauci says, “I don’t think we should ever shake hands ever again, to be honest with you. Not only would it be good to prevent coronavirus disease, it probably would decrease instances of influenza dramatically in this country.”

We here at the Infomaniac Medical Clinic have long avoided shaking hands whenever possible as we view human beings as walking petri dishes. 

Where do you Bitches stand on handshaking? Do you shake? Will you continue to shake when this blows over? 

And what do you do when someone extends their hand and you want to decline a handshake?

Gardening - the Brian May Way

"I managed to rip my Gluteus Maximus to shreds in a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening," the Queen star explained.

Story here.

Let this be a warning to you over-enthusiastic gardening Bitches. 

Announcing Our New Garden Photo Events Manager

We here at Infomaniac are pleased to announce that Mr. DeVice will be hosting the 2020 Garden Photos Event on his blog.  Date to be announced but it won't be until later this year.

Mr. DeVice in his garden.

Basically, it will be the same Garden Photos Event you know and love but with the possibility of a few new twists. 

Click here to read about some of Mr. DeVice's ideas. 

Thank you, Mr. DeVice!

Garden Photos Event Manager Needed

The Mistress is looking for someone to take over the heavy lifting.

Who wants to host the 2020 Annual Garden Photos Event on your blog? 

The Mistress first hosted the event back in 2011. 

The 9th Annual Garden Photos Event was held in 2019. 

We're coming up this year on the TENTH Annual Garden Photos Event and The Mistress is ready to hand the reins over to one of you capable Bitches for the forseeable future. 

Toilet Paper

Before you hoard, check this handy toilet paper calculator to see how much toilet paper you really need.

Sliders on the calculator alter the amount of toilet rolls you have, and the amount of times you go to the toilet everyday. 

There are also advanced settings which alter wipes per trip, sheets per wipe, sheets on roll, and the length of your quarantine. So be sure to click on the "Advanced Options" feature.

The average user has 500% more toilet paper than they need for quarantine.

New Product

The Infomaniac House of Beauty and the Infomaniac Medical Clinic combine to bring you a product for our times, seen here modelled by Miss Scarlet...

Before we can market it to the masses, it needs a name. It also needs a promotional blurb; something that will convince the public to buy it. 

Suggestions?

Reasons to Celebrate

Eat me!

Help yourselves to the baked goods, Bitches.

It seems I'd forgotten that March 23rd is the 14th anniversary of this blog.

More importantly, I completely forgot that March 22nd was Mr. DeVice's birthday. 

Let's stuff ourselves silly, in celebration.  

Spring is Here!

In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.
-- Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Still Here, Continued

Apologies for my absence. I thought my computer problems were fixed but I was wrong.
 
Also, I have this which means I have a very low level of energy. This is an ongoing condition. I've had it for a long time but didn't mention it. However, it's nothing to worry about. I'll continue to blog from time to time. 


Stay healthy out there, Bitches!

Still Here

The Mistress is still here but trying to adjust to a new computer ...

The Mistress could use a leg up, getting ready for the holidays...

My Christmas wish is that you'll forgive my many absences. I'll catch up with you in the New Year.

In the meantime, it's time to don your Mistletoe Belt Buckles...

Merry Christmas, Bitches!

Norma's Garden Photos

Our final entry in the NINTH ANNUAL INFOMANIAC GARDEN PHOTOS EVENT comes to us from Miss Normadesmond of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Take it away, Norma...

Norma’s got many things that are green, but her thumb ain’t one of them.

My neighborhood has a community garden. 

The gals love to take cuttings from one another...

 Luba seems to have found a bulb that needs planting...

Our grapes have tender vines...

There’s no lack of fertilization...

Morey lives across the street. He’s always looking for a hedge to clip...

Our American Gothic!...

Of course, he lives in another neighborhood...

I’d just mowed. Thankfully, my clippings are bagged...

AyeM8y's Garden Photos

Our next entry in the NINTH ANNUAL INFOMANIAC GARDEN PHOTOS EVENT is AyeM8y in Florida.
As usual, please click to enlarge.

Not sure what these red flowers are, they volunteered.

Red Chili Pepper

The Very Dr. Seuss-looking Castor Bean plant

A variegated Black Elephant Ear

My medieval-looking chandelier with Mason jar shades and a fleur-de-lis, hanging in my Scuppernong arbor.

Just some weed.

My Bleeding Heart.

Not sure what these are but the hummingbirds and butterflies love it. Pictured in the background is a tiny jar hummingbird feeder. I suddenly have many, many hummingbirds.

Note from the Mistress: I couldn't resist adding this photo of AyeM8y, mowing the lawn...
