@Tyranexx many churches here are just live streaming or televising their services. The Savannah Diocese (which covers half the state) suspended services and sacraments right now, so there’s no Mass.

Ow, sorry if i carried away by "religious" talking. 😅

Btw, speaking about Final Fantasy, long time i have realized some FF were talking about against the Creator (FF IX), Fictional religion with scandalous things from Yevon teaching (FF X), God killer (FF XIII Lightning Returns) (Note, i didn't play Lightning Returns. Just have ever watched the final boss fight and ending from Youtube). Fictional religion, against the creator, religion conspiracy (like Bevelle teaching scandal) were something that somehow made me thinking and questioning about myself and how did we live in universe. It was like between interesting and controversial topic to discuss about.
Also, i have remembered from History lesson grade 9 about atheism that called religion was like an opium, made us hallucinate about how do we live in reality.

I apologize if my explanation sounds very controversial. I didn't mean to upset anyone. 😣

@HobbitGamer Our church unfortunately isn't set up with a streaming option, though a sister one does have their recordings televised. I'm on the sound rotation this weekend; there are three of us total. We make sure everyone in the church can hear anyone speaking, maintain sound levels, and we do record the main services and copy them onto CDs for shut-ins to use. There are definitely better ways to go about doing this, but we don't have the financial means at the moment.

We're trying to find more people to help out, (there's been the rare time we've all been unavailable, plus I drive about 25 minutes to even get there), but there haven't been any new volunteers yet. I think people are intimidated, but besides the sound levels everything else on the board is already set. At the bare minimum, the system would just need to be on, batteries stuck in the mics, and the mic levels set accordingly.

Until this changes - and I hope it does, I'd prefer if they cancelled - my church has moved to a Saturday night service and two on Sunday to try to pack in less people at once. The problem is, one of those Sunday services is at 8 in the morning, which 1. Is when I normally get up on a Sunday and 2. Early as heck on a weekend when you aren't already a morning person....

The bananas I harvested from the garden are starting to go bad. I tried making some banana bread with a simple recipe I found online. Let's hope that goes well!

@Woomy_NNYes Thanks.

Here in Indonesia, peoples makes Deep Fried Banana from banana.
Just coat the banana pieces with mixture of pancake flour, egg and a pinch of salt, deep fry them until golden brown color and enjoy your deep fried banana.
The popular variant of deep fried banana is Fan shape Deep Fried Banana.

@Anti-Matter Those look amazing. The shapes remind me of fried pumpkin blossoms. Though for those you use normal flour instead of the pancake kind.

Yeah people like fried banana here too. Though I'm not much of a fan of cooked bananas, which is why I went for bread. The ones in your picture look pretty good though.

The bread came out as a dense lump of banana something, it didn't expand at all. It tastes so good though!

I'll have to try a different recipe. I still have plenty bananas left.

@Eel maaan, I love me some dense banana bread. Oh, and I did get New Horizons digital, and then saw Ninty confirmed it’s playable at midnight ET. So in three hours.

I was given tomorrow off, after an executive went to bat for me after yesterday’s fiasco. (I won’t go into it all, but it did involve a rather unwarranted confrontational discussion with me by the ceo in front of multiple folks). And today I had quite a few execs, senior mgmt, and field staff call me and email me appreciation and such. So that was nice. But I still only slept about 4 hours. 😅

I usually freeze bananas before they go bad and use them in smoothies. We’ve had crap, rainy weather galore, and it is adding a serious level of difficulty to proceedings. It feels a bit trollish if I’m being honest, and I don’t like it one bit. Nope.

@Tyranexx - I hope day two of work from home project 2020 went a bit smoother. Or is it still day one... I’m not even sure anymore. I’ve read too many Little Golden Books this week to be completely sure on which day it is currently.

@ThanosReXXX - You devil, you. The empty streets and shelves you mentioned are beyond strange. I haven’t done much for a week, but I’ve been out a few evenings to pick up some things and it’s really eerie. I ran into a friend on one excursion, and we almost greeted with a hug out of habit. Instead we bumped elbows and tried to stay far apart while making small talk. So weird.

@HobbitGamer - That’s too bad about Lumbergh being a jerk, but maybe a tiny bit worth it to get a three day weekend with fresh AC?

@Eel - I thought you got AC early when I read about your banana harvest. I seriously wish I could grow bananas (and citrus) in my back yard. Do the banana trees require much work beyond watering?

I don't really know if they're hard to grow, the plant is just kinda there in our garden.

My dad does take a lot of care for our garden, but it's not like he gives special attention to this one in particular. I think it's just one of those plants that continually regrow on their own if they like their spot.

Coincidentally this place is also great for growing oranges, wish our navel orange tree was still alive. It gave the absolute best oranges.

@Eel I’ll trade you some TP for some fresh oranges!!

@bimmy-lee Ya know, y’all have mentioned it before, but my work life is so close to Initech it’s eerie sometimes. And last night while I sat in my building alone, furiously scribbling notes on worksheets and programming new clinical codes into the software, I did keep thinking “Maybe I can connive my way into a three day weekend “. Now if I can just stay awake for 13 minutes, the rush of a new game will energize me a bit.

@Eel - I’m sure you have perfect banana and citrus weather. That would be fun. It would be cool to see what your dad grows in his garden. A garden around here is pretty basic in comparison.

@HobbitGamer - Well earned then my friend. Hope you have fun. My new cooped up life with the kids has me seriously considering it.
