Me a couple of days ago. They are a bit better now, but man is it painful. So hard to do anything.My hands are a chapped ugly mess most of the time. Probably from using dish soap to wash them.

Ouch! Yeah, you've got me beat Snap. Mine are just the result of self-inflicted abuse and neglect.

I have severe psoriasis mainly on my stomach and back. I understand and feel your pain.

Is this just from hand washing?
No, it's psoriasis and exfoliative dermatitis, and possibly a secondary fungal infection. Taking anti-fungals just in case.
When did making one's own food become conspicuous consumption?
It's a topsy world when fresh baked bread is the new BMW.
I never realized my Grandma was livin' it up like a Kardashian.

I fully understand the supply shortages, but maintain my central point, flour and other necessities are in short supply and FB is loaded with show off posts of looky what I made, which is conspicuous consumption in my book...
True dat. All of my sisters are showing skills they haven't used since they were in their twenties. The good news is that they really do know how to cook.
The bad news is they will kick your ass if you say: Make me a sammich.
Are you mad that they bought it, or mad that they showed it off?
FB always full of dumb **** like that. It's the source du jour for endorphins. If someone wants to learn how to bake a soufflé, more power to them. It want to show it off, fine, whatever (but I also won't look). People are stuck at home and can't show what hip food their eating in a restaurant, so this replaces it. Instagrammers and FBers are dumb.
Now, if you're using the flour to pave the streets, then I care.
My guess is that flour is like everything else - a supply / allocation issue. We now want from grocery stores what used to go to restaurants. It's simply a logistics issue and I'm not going to blame people for showing off their baking skillz. Heck, the reason I want flour is so I can try my hand at sourdough. I didn't realize that made me a bad person, I guess I'll just buy a bland loaf instead.
You know, there's a ton of boomer humor memes criticizing the young for not knowing how to bake from scratch. Now we're telling them not to learn how.

It became conspicuous consumption when they made it conspicuous by posting it all over social media like a Kardashian. If your grandma baked for gratification of the pictures sent to the paper of the day she too might be guilty, but I kind of doubt she did that.
That said, I'm just over those enjoying this lockdown, posting about how much fun they are having and blasting anyone that wants to open up and get to work...
So, now you're in the phase of, "I hate anyone who is making the best of a ****ty situation."
Got it.

Oh. That's not a complaint about flour; that's a complaint about social media.
I don't have a problem with people posting photos of their bread, cupcakes, etc. But I also don't get on FB much, and when I do, I tend to stick to groups rather than watching the "news" feed.

Freezer got delivered. It's glorious. Looks like they may have at least 1 more still in stock at the Zionsville Lowes

The weather was beautiful this afternoon, so we drove around the Green Woods to see what was going on. Full construction crew at the park in Old Town. Lots of traffic. Rural King parking lot about 3/4 full. It isn't a "normal" wednesday, but it certainly isn't a ghost town.
