My booze stash is still strong but that might get me to go to an actual store.
Also helps that it would be easy to walk in, grab a few handles, bring home, wipe down/make good and safe.


Booze wins the day 

This place wasn't messing around. They had us waiting outside, at least 6 feet apart. Then when you get to their window, they tell you to back up a few feet before placing your order on the table. They place it down, then quickly back up as you pick up your beer. Ha.

I don't feel too comfortable actually going inside places. Did that last night to pick up dinner at this local bbq place we like. I was surprised they didn't offer curbside pick up like most places are doing now. 

Yeah, I have heard of places doing things like that.  A guy I work with said he ordered wine from some spot in Jersey and he had to sit in his car, yell his name, they'd drop it off by the car then go back to the store, then you would get out and get it.

I am avoiding going in places at all costs.  We're still going for walks around our neighborhood and penns landing, but that's about it.

Me too.

And now that I am thinking about it further, I wish I did not enter that restaurant last night as there were a few others waiting in close proximity for their takeout orders. 

We are living in hell, Cliff. Hell!

Dude, it is fucking horrible.  I am so thankful that my wife and my employment hasn't been impacted, but good fucking god this has been borderline impossible with a 2 year old two full time and busy jobs all in a rowhome.  I am mentally preparing for this to go through May, but if it goes further, I can't imagine.

I agree about revamping expectations.
Thankfully we are good as a company, only needed to lay off the temp workers...which is bad for them, but all of the W2s are still there.
We largely support mall based retailers, which means that our income is limited at this point.

May have to take in one of my wife's sisters.  

Stuck in the house all of the time is brutal.
I fucked up my foot a few weeks ago so I cannot even run, which was my release for the past year plus.  (Although I'm thinking one more week and I should be good to go again)

All of that said, i/we are lucky this far.

If people are still fucked in a few months this is going to get much, much worse.

Be safe y'all.

It's the fucking worst.  Like you said, thankful my wife and I still have our jobs but holy shit everyday is a complete clusterfuck.  A 3 year old and a 10 month old who crawls and climbs all over everything are not ideal ages for this.  And the 3 year old deciding to stop napping the majority of days has been the cherry on top of this one.  I know one day we'll all look back on this and laugh about how brutal it was but hooly shit is it a struggle.

Fucking A. Got a 2.5 yr old and 6 month old. This is the hardest shit ever.

A complete clusterfuck and the hardest shit ever are perfect ways of putting it

These 86 Topps cards are the first I remember collecting

I’ll trade ya a 1991 Fleer Mickey Morandini card for that Hayes. 

This one?
I feel like those road grays are underrated and somewhat forgotten as they only wore them for three years before switching to the current jersey. If they ever go back to that style, I'd prefer this to the blue...

That’s the one. I had the whole 1991 Fleer collection. That was a common xmas gift for me when I was a kid: one of those boxes with all the year’s cards.
