    Just read about a couple assholes in Virginia who allegedly recorded themselves coughing on produce at the supermarket. 

    Assholes are just assholes, I guess?

    Oh it's time to panic.....today I called my barber shop only to find out it's been closed for a week. Pretty soon I'm going to look like one of those long haired dudes from the 60's. 

    What do people do who need to have a spa day?

    I work at an appliance store and it is considered essential.  Nothing much will change?

    The businesses that are deemed "essential" is really shocking to me, at least in IL.  I like a beer as much as the next guy, but when I saw a big liquor store chain would remain opened because it was deemed "essential," it quickly struck me how out of touch this state is (and country).  Either shut it all down or don't.  A store that sells nothing but booze is not essential in a crisis like this.
    Yeah, in Jersey the booze and weed stores remain open.  
    Guessing they figure if people can stay in and get fucked up that they will be ok to Netflix and chill.
    Or that the hard core boozers won't loot or go to the ER when detoxing goes poorly.
    Idiotic. 
    crazy that liquor and weed stores are essential lol.  Not that I am complaining.  
    Makes perfect sense... especially medicinal weed. 
    If people actually need to get high for medicinal reasons (they have cancer or something) I get it.
    Guess it is probably tough to draw the line between people that just want to get high and the people that need the result of the THC....so I get that.
    Why the booze stores?
    If it is vital that we avoid one another why is wanting to get a buzz essential?

    Sedation!
    Yup
    I’m stuck quitting THC for now, I think. Only med sales can continue in Mass, and I can’t get a med card because my wife works for the federal government. 

    Liquor stores will stay open, though, because Massholes have spouses to abuse. 

    Such a fucked up place.

    Time to learn to cut your own hair, g!  It's kind of fun and doing the back is sort of like a form of tai chi and yoga with a little scissors action thrown in, lol.

    I read something similar out of Germany except young kids were coughing on old people.

    You know I've my own clippers set and in a week I'll probably pull them out. I can cut something but I think it would be cool to sport that long haired hippie dude look.

    These are times of human adaptability and those who will adapt have a better chance of survival.

    They probably sell twinkies too and therefore count as a good store.

    Wasn't there a million reasons to do this, before this?

    What has been stopping you?
    I've tried but everything in stores here is made in China.
    I'd be the first to buy locally made goods even if it costs more.

    Hi people hope you are all well.. I have a lung infection at the worst time ever in history. First got sore throat Saturday, lung infection by Monday. Not required to get tested for Covid as I don't fit the criteria. I've been given strong steroids and told to call my doctor in 2 days. Obviously self isolated to protect myself and others. My 12 year old daughter is my saviour at this time and is homebound with me. Had school package dropped off today as children that don't have to attend have to stay home. NSW now has 818 positive with a jump of 149 in 12hrs overnight. That's one state only. We're in big trouble.

    I need to thank Pearl Jam for postponing. I found out today that 10 days ago my husband was heavily exposed. He is a pretty healthy, big, strong 57 year old guy, so if he gets it I think he will be ok. We are officially quarantined at this point. Even if he did not pick up this nasty virus my quarantine won’t actually start until his 14 days are up so I would have missed the concert 🤬😢.... hubby works as a produce manager at a big store, where idiots might think it’s funny to cough on produce and elderly people. I am pretty sure will lose his s#@t and job and share a cell with a hopefully covid 19 free person. So because my health sucks and the meds wipe out my immune system and I will probably be quarantined forever. But I am lucky and have my dogs, awesome music and some good books to keep me company. I have tickets for the Denver show which will be great and I live there so no travel involved. But now I am really thinking maybe I should  try for tickets to Ohana. I think it’s possible that Ohana could be before the new dates for the already postponed shows. I really really want to see them again! So much!

     Jammers—-I could really use some advice please? 

    Does anyone know if there is decent handicap seating at Ohana? I am pretty sure the VIP thing would have great accessibility but that just isn’t in the budget. Any insight or details on the festival would be great? I do use a walker so sand is tough going for me. Is there a lot of walking? 

    Hotel recommendations?

    My husband had minor surgery and has been off work for 8 weeks and goes back Saturday, as long as he isn’t sick. Once he goes back though he will be around joe public daily. 
    If any of you are living this “adventure” and have advice about social distancing, he is super concerned about bringing it home to me because there is a good chance I may not be as able to fight it. I wish it weren’t so, but I think there are probably others out there who have someone working an essential job and coming home to a family member who is high risk. He is planning to eat at work and come home and live in the basement. I know that we are trying to clean all the time and wash hands etc...but I kinda think that isn’t going to be enough. I feel like it would probably be pretty hard to not spread it in a home setting.
     If anyone has any advice, would you mind sharing?

    Thanks much and stay well,
    k

    The religious right and evangelical class are cheering this on. Doomsayer preppie? Kelly Ann CONway and her ilk? Reunited with sister Sarah. Go to the beach. Or work on Monday? But this is an awesome opportunity to seize some awesome fascist shit! Moscow Mitchy baby is really paying dividends and if you’re not paying attention, choose or be told, left or right. So, be clear on your choice. Choice is yours. Maybe?
