You asked Jeff so shall it be done.
Got up early this morning and went grocery shopping with the wife, we got there just after the store opened at 7:00 in the morning. Damn what a shock the shelves were almost bare in a lot of sections but we at least got some food items we needed. As it has been the case no toilet paper, paper towels & very little bread we were able to get some milk,cheese & butter but even these items are scarce. Most of the stores here in town have placed limits on the amount of toilet paper & paper towels you can get. We finally was able to get some toilet paper at the Family Dollar store 2 packages of 32 rolls each so we should be good for now.
Hope ya'll have been doing okay with this crazy way of life as it is now.

We got TP a week ago or so. We got the last box at Smart and Final. They sell it in a box of 45 rolls, so we are set. I am staying home except for walking and walking the dog. I cancelled my pulmonary rehab for now. To many old people huffing and puffing up there. I need to go get my meds today or tomorrow. They text me yesterday and I think they may be delivering them now. I will call and check.

I am staying home except for walking and walking the dog I hear ya buddy. It was the 1st time I've been out in a couple weeks when we went shopping for food. Not to bad here where we live all the schools are closed most business are open for now and the fast food places here I think are doing take-out only. Was listening to the Governor and for now the restrictions are few in South Carolina, like every where the most important is about social distancing,no large crowds & make sure you are washing your hands often and using hand sanitizer. Linda had to get an MRI done yesterday for her lower back and I guess what has become the new norm they took her temperature before she entered the building. No one else is allowed to enter expect for the person that is being seen,my pain management place called and gave these same instructions to me for my next visit late April. We both get almost all of our medicine through Humana Pharmacy expect the few we have to get from the pharmacy. Love ya all stay safe & healthy my friends.

Well it kinda hit home more for my son when one of his best friends got tested positive for Covid-19. He was admitted to the hospital at first but is now home for the next 15 days.

Checking in with y’all. I’m at work right now. I haven’t stopped working and thankful for that to the good Lord above. This is all surreal to me. I feel like I’m locked inside some kinda matrix. Twilight zone kinda stuff.
I think it’s all way overblown. This time last year there were 57,000 deaths from the flu in the US and they have shutdown the economy which was doing fantastic for 17,000 deaths. And they are padding the numbers. Question is why.
Anyway, I miss baseball and football for that matter. I pray for this country and our president daily for them to be making the right decisions and pray they weed out the enemy is this nation.
Love u guys! And no I don’t wear masks.
I have faith in Jesus!
Y’all pray for our president!

We have a few miles of walking paths all over the dev't - shared by walkers of all speeds, dogs, joggers, bikers. About 1/2 - 3/4ers wear masks. I cannot do it. It's not a walk out of boredom. It's strictly exercise, and my pace is pretty fast (no one's ever passed me) for 45 - 75 minutes, as long as I can stand it past the shin splints phase (minutes 10 thru 30). The path is 6 - 7 ft wide, so I'll go a couple ft into the grass to pass someone, others do the same. Y'all must be dying to know my TP situation, especially given my penchant for fresh vegetables. Pleased to report two 6-packs of Quilted Northern in the 2nd bathroom tub, 5 of 6 rolls opened in another, 1 roll of Charmin, and 7 rolls of some individually wrapped, very thick kind I got at the Boys Market, should be good for another 15 wks ATM. Football... it's like outta sight outta mind. GMFB (Good Morning Football (7 - 10 AM Eastern live)) is no more, there is a 1/2 hour of live updates at 7 PM on NFL Network. So they're not talking much, but where will we be with OTAs and training camp? I heard that NY schools are cancelled thru the entire year, just one little factoid. It's always like 'wait and see, it's all we can do'. But really, what in this pandemic has happened quicker than expected - except for bad shit like deaths and unemployment? Maybe I'll get around to this depressing smiley situation in my spare time. What is with these shaded ones? Let's just see...

I don't watch it much but a little. All I see is 4 PM eastern, Bucs and Giants Sept. 22, what's that, week 3? And who cared, even at that time? But they're throwing us more bones as the draft gets closer. At 10 AM, a live regular GMFB, yep 3 hours long. Almost didn't recognize Kay Adams yesterday, she's probably doing her own make-up now, looks like they're all at home with a Zoom-like setup. Then live shows tonight at 7 - 7:30, 8 - 8:30, and 9 - 10 is live Path to the Draft. Oh boy.

Red zone is not NFL network, it is a separate channel Mine is on 1334. nfl net is 1332 Okay, I get NFL Network on 3 channels, 2 HD - exactly the same for Red Zone. IDK why we need 2 HD channels, but okay by me. Ya know what's weird...we get a package for the whole dev't, and a ton of channels is included. The only thing really non-negotiable was the NFL Network, and couldn't believe it was not included. Then when I found out the extra $10+ tax a month included Red Zone, I couldn't believe that either. On Sunday, I have the Red Zone on the 63" screen and whatever else I want on the 48" (sometimes Nascar believe it or not lol). With the Fins as your only option otherwise sometimes, I would've lost my mind last year in not for Red Zone. Sunday Ticket is not even available w/Comcast if I wanted to spend the $300+ a season.

Yesterday evening we had a group of about 20 some vehicles ride through our neighbor hood all honking their horns, windows down some half way out the car and waving their arms. Get this the 1st vehicle was a school bus an I did see one of the local churches with 2 of their vans,not hard to miss cause it's on both sides and goes from the front to the back of the vehicle.
What the hell is wrong with these people(they listen to Trump) and yes I do understand the stay at home & social distancing which most are not doing in my area. I bet these people will sing a different tune if they all catch the virus. I heard our Governor is going to open up everything soon which could be a big mistake,I hope not but time will tell.
We haven't got this virus under control yet and still don't know how many people are infected but the country needs to open. What do we have to lose as our president has said, MORE LIVES LOST that's what.
Stay safe & stay healthy my friends

Mar is going to the store tomorrow. I am asking her (not ordering, haha) to stock up a little on canned foods. Like soup and stew and stuff. I like Denty more stew. But we aren't going to eat it.
I think there may be a second wave that may be worse. I hope not, I hope it will be like the flu season. Where it goes away in the heat. I feel it might, but then come back. Hopefully we have a vaccine by then.
Anyway I want stew and soup in cans in my pantry. haha. The surfers here are upset. The videos of the fat cops trying to catch them when they come in out of the water are hilarious. A life guard maybe able to catch them but they don't even bother cuz they are laid off.
I think a few things could be relaxed, like walking on the beach and surfing. No one is going to get sick from surfing.
This is funny, but actually really really scary. The dude got arrested and they let the crimminals out of jail to not get corona

I really don’t think there is a need for a vaccine. Like I said before these numbers are comparable to the regular flu. Not only that there is treatment for this that’s been approved by the FDA.
Our governor in Texas is starting to open up the state this week little by little.
Y’all have faith in God! This isn’t as bad as they are trying to push. They want everyone in fear.
Read the word and tell me what God has said plenty of times in there.
DO NOT FEAR! For Iam with you!

But I have to disagree with you not needing a vaccine, having a vaccine is the only way to have protection against Covid-19 an stop the spread of it. If this was just the flu we could get a shot for it. The only reason why the numbers are down is because of the guidelines they put in place early. Don't no where you're getting your information but for now there is no treatment approved by the FDA.
