    I think we're set for groceries, & i have a few beers at home.

    If I can't hit the store on the way home, it looks like I'll be dipping into my whiskey stash if / when MA locks down.

    Was thinking the same thing.  Don't want to puff on any cigars though.  Don't want to compromise my lungs any.

    EDIT: I don't inhale but I'm not chancing anything.

    A neat story to share.  Last night we had a delivery show up at our house around 6:00 p.m.  We hadn't ordered anything.  It was a food delivery guy with a couple bags full of cooked meals.  There was an 8.5 x 11 letter on top.  A local Realtor/ friend of ours sent out meals to a large group of her friends, clients, etc.  The food came from a local, small business restaurant.  She shared her story in the letter as to the "why" behind this and of course it was to show the importance of supporting local businesses during this rough time, as well as to give a helping hand to others around her.  It was such a kind and generous act, I thought I'd share it here.  Hopefully it starts a trend, locally at least, and can help to drive some business to these restaurants.  They sure do need it.

    That is great, I love it

    This is awesome. I wish we had the money to do the same, but we’re definitely contributing to our local beloved eateries.

    Do you have enough IPA's?
    On a light note, I do.  :)  Decided to stock up and helped support two local breweries by buying some fresh four-packs today (curbside pick-up).

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention.

    Beer distributors are closing for 2 weeks...

    I feel for these guys.  Going to be hard to weather the storm for long.

    Amen.  If we get through this, I'm expecting some all-time great PJ shows to take place.

    Anyone here more informed on this question I have. 
    Can over sterilization hurt us?
    This is a good question, and I have wondered about this as well. While I have always washed my hands under normal circumstances, I have lately been using hand sanitizer at a clip that is uncharted territory for me. It almost feels too convenient...

    A butcher shop I frequently buy from called to let me know that the hog a brought has been butcher, processed, and packaged. Will have 210 lbs of fresh pork in the freezer tomorrow afternoon. So my family is good on that.

    My wife has meals planned out for the next 10 days (leftovers for lunch). I will need to make a restock run at some point in the next week.

    That's a pretty ignorant statement. Why even say such a thing? What does being home schooled have to do with illogical thinking? I think a better statement would have been, anyone who thinks schools won't help spread this must be a Trump supporter.
    It was a half joke, didn’t mean to offend anyone. And I wasn’t trying to imply if you’re home schooled you are an illogical thinker. I was just trying to say anyone who’s been inside a school knows that they are just a big Petri dish of illnesses. If you’re homeschooled not that your are logical, but you just haven’t witnessed the disgusting habits that go on. Sorry if I offended anyone homeschooled. I have nieces and nephews on my side and my wife’s side and you can get a great education at home if the parents put the effort in.
