That's because no one wants one ply.

I told her he was about 2-3 weeks too early before people became that desperate for toilet paper.

Seriously... picking up food has been a trip. I'm trying to support some local places. Any good stories or experiences otherwise?

I've been doing my best to make the best out of the situation.

I was the only one in the office today from 10 AM to 5 PM.
It was glorious.

Nobody is on the roads when I'm driving, so I can take the quick routes on the highways.

I've basically been practicing ""social distancing"" all of my life.
Spending my nights alone while playing video games has basically been my life.

My hospital is still getting patients and testing people as much as possible.
We are currently on lock down, so only employees, patients and one family member is allowed in.

My Pinball/Arcade place is currently closed.
They are located in Illinois and they just enacted a Stay At Home Policy.

Just be mindful and safe and hopefully we will return to normal shortly.

Finally being affected personally. I've always used hand sanitizer quite often, but its not something i stock up on. I'm out and everyone is telling me there is none in the stores. I'm not about to go just to find out. Been washing my hands in the kitchen instead. I know have a rash on the tops of both my hands. Assuming its from the shitty dish soap i've been using. DAM YOU COVID!! lol.

Hand washing is more effective than hand sanitizer, anyway, so keep it up. Maybe a good hand lotion will help with the rash.

Changed to real/normal soap. I'll just let it get better on its own. I'm always worried whatever i do will just make it worse when it comes to stuff like this, heh.

Trust me, the lotion helps. I wash my hands a lot due to frequent trips to the bathroom (I had some medical issues with my bladder), and the constant bad soap and crappy paper towels rubbed my hands ragged. The lotion helps, even if it sometimes burns like hell because my skin has split open.

@emz, check PMs.

@Ack, Man, I was following your headed west thread. Hope all smooths out & you'll look back at this as an odd delay.

:lol: yeah, Los Cucos! That's impressive.

This location (sure they all do) has a curbside tent up taking to-go orders. Call in or order there & never get out of the car. Had a similar experience getting wings from Pluckers.
