Doing all we can in the mile household to stay safe. YOU do the same.  AND happy birthday !

Interestingly enough.  Had a relative tell me that rather than washing my hands and guessing how long I should take.... to say sing the happy birthday song, twice. 

Prayers to you and yours.

Thanks Mile. Best wishes to you and everyone else in beautiful Colorado. My youngest son's birthday is today, he missed being born on mine by 40 minutes... Impatient.

No virus. I checked. She's dead, and I am here. Talking about his lady. 69 years young. Who drove rental cars from Indianapolis to St. Louis. Back and forth. Sure she picked up the virus by doing that.  Summary in a shell

Thanks, Mile. Sounds like a sad story. I'll be 67 at midnight, so, like you, I'm in the group that has the bullseye on their back. Stay safe, my friend.

This is pretty eye opening. 

Could you summarize? I don't want to visit an unknown link.

Hey Congress. Millions of dollars for the Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts ?

Where's the money for the Denver Center of the performing arts ?

Denver Center for the Performing Arts 

This is what you call a relief act ?

And what has this relief got to do with helping the American citizens all over this great country of ours,who are hurting right now ?

I've been watching old NCAA tournament games, and NBA playoff games from '70s thru the 90's. Lots of good ones on YouTube.

That brings back memories. Used to have a civilian job driving all over Ft. Benning in a truck. At least twice I could tell there was an Apache practicing their targeting on me. I just thought I'm glad I could help them practice. 

Up here it was A-10s. They'll really pucker your pooper when they swoop in from behind.

Really dont understand the run on paper products.  I imagine alot of people sitting around with no food but massive amounts of TP and no bowel movements.  

We're lucky that the effects of the virus have not  crippled any of our truly vital industries, like utilities, Ag, logistics, etc.

Love the movie

 Huge Shit Sandwich - Full Metal Jacket 

I worked with a guy that laughed exactly like the crazy door gunner. He was crazy, too. 

I chuckle about the TP frenzy, since it is completely unwarranted, but it does serve the purpose of keeping people distracted from hoarding things that other people might actually NEED. 

This whole situation reminds me of that Lieutenant Lockhart line from Full Metal Jacket. "It's a huge shit sandwich, and we're all going to have to take a bite." 

FedEx just delivered a large package. I asked the driver if it was toilet paper. He just said, "don't know". Went right over his head, I guess. Oh well. Probably shoes. 

If I could figure out a way to wipe my ass with the shoes my wife never wears, I'd never have to buy another roll of TP the rest of my life!

What the heck is wrong with people? I’ve never seen so many panicky morons in my life.

Try to do some basic grocery shopping and idiots are buying up all the toilet paper and one stupid lady grabbed 8 gallons on milk? 
 

has everyone gone crazy? This is not the freaking plague, NO one is running out of toilet paper. What the hell is wrong with people? 

Go read one of our game threads, and you'll see why people are freaking out over Corona Virus! 😁

Just updating my situation went to urgent care to try to get tested nope if your not showing severe symptoms you won’t get tested  if it’s only mild because of severe shortage of tests lol just great u need to follow their guidelines plus your primary doctor has to ordered it for you if he or she can. So I called primary doctor to schedule appointment and order a test can’t because there not seeing no patients because busy overseeing  more serious cases and backed up from overload of patients. Well folks it’s starting buckle your seatbelts because it’s gonna get chaotic here in Cali. But it is genius for this administration keep low numbers that way by not testing lol.

Yeah! The Chinese government controls every aspect of life in China, and look what a GREAT job they've done at controlling this situation. Good thinking, there, Einstein.
