Ask about the details on free delivery. When I bought my TV a few years back, I was going to get a 42" TV ($425, $75 delivery fee), BUT if I bought a 50" TV ($500) then delivery was free (any TV over 44", IIRC, was free delivery). That choice was easy.

It is useless in places that are not willing to do anything to help themselves. In my State we were doing a lot better- now when we see a bump of numbers is is the a55holes who can't manage to live without partying and the dipsh1ts that ran a football camp with kids from 17 towns. They can trace where it came from and warn the others to quarantine.
Good evening Lodge!

One of my friends was employed by the state as a contact tracer earlier in the year, and was laid off (?) in early July. She got a call this week to go back to work.
Thank God my state is mostly doing things. WI is a mess. And currently my brother is in Sturgis (parents are NOT happy about that). Note: he's not really a bar guy; he, his fiancee, and another couple mostly ride during the day to other states, and then retire to their campsite to hang out and drink. So that improves his chances of not getting the Rona. I don't know if he masks up or not.

Al the nopes. That is hands down the most stupid scenario of the whole Rona story so far. Just when I think people have reached their capacity for stupid there is a hold my beer moment. Hope he has life insurance and a plan for the kids.
Good Evening Lodge!
lilnsl got a bee in his bonnet this morning and decided to clean the attic. Understand it is 85F out and the attic fan is dead. He kept bringing stuff down- now the top rooms of the house are a mess of things that are going out of the house but need to be sorted to get to the appropriate place. I managed to clean out some things that had migrated to my laundry room. Got nothing I was supposed to be getting done. Trip down memory lane. He found stuff I didn't know we owned.

And also an advanced directive. My cousin that lives in Wyoming, and is a Baptist minister, is also there. With his son, who has an 8-year-old daughter. His mom lives here with my mom. My mother told me that he was going this morning. I told her my aunt should plan on never seeing her son again. She turns 87 tomorrow. The fact that this event was not cancelled months ago is beyond reason.
I went for an eye appointment today. I wanted to get it done before we inevitably start shutting things down again. They were super careful there.
From what I've heard, the city basically gave up, since they can't STOP a bunch of people showing up, so they are not doing any sponsoring or promoting things related to the event. And since there are no ordinances/mandates, they won't be busting anyone for mask stuff/etc. It's basically tInvasion on a larger scale.
And thanks to a *ing worthless piece of c-sucking sh* driver who can't make a right turn onto a street around my parked car, Maggie's bumper is pushed in 1.5" and needs a repair. Thank goodness for witnesses (who took photos), and the common courtesy of the driver to actually take responsibility. I am NOT *ing happy right now.

My hospital CEO is instructing us all to prepare for a secondary surge and potential shutdown again. Not to the level of April/May (no outpatient offices open, no elective procedures, etc.), but that every department re-familiarizes themselves with surge protocols.
This is going great! Trump's doing a heckova job!

I note on the Dead thread that Carroll Hardy died. He was born in Sturgis. Hmmmm!?!

Forgot again. :-o
Afternoon, Lodge. So it sounds like Maggie will be out of commission for about a week. They are thinking the quarterpanel is also damaged along with the obvious bumper damage, and the quarterpanel piece is a HUGE piece, that is also the part that runs along over the driver's side window. Thankfully, the rental car I will need is paid for by the other driver's insurance. Whee.

that is a bummer!
Good Afternoon Lodge! I just spent the last couple of hours sorting thru baby things. Sad and a bit overwhelming. Makes me realize that lilnsl world will not be anything like what he was born into.
And as an aside- it is so complicated to put someone on ignore now. Sheesh. One of the wacko trolls popped up and disappearing them was a lot of work.
It's a bummer, but the dealing with the four companies (2 different insurance, auto body, and car rental place [Hertz, not Thrifty
]) was seamless. I was impressed. Now I just have to hope for something at least the quality of a Honda Civic and not some sh*box of a car like a Prius. Although that would be the devil's icing on this cake if I had to drive a friggin' Prius.Question for les, but any of you can feel free to chime in. Knowing cases are creeping up here in MA, I wanted thoughts on whether it would be OK to stay overnight at my mom’s. We’re doing a birthday drive by parade for my little cousin on Sunday at 1pm and it would be easier if I was already there in the morning. I usually share a room with my mom, but she now has a couch that opens up so if I do stay, I will ask that either she or I sleep on it. Thoughts?

I think it would depend on how much you have both been staying in your bubble.
The safest choice is to say no.
The next safest choice would be if you both had been not going anywhere then I would say meh- shut the door to her bedroom and everyone open the windows.
If anyone has been going out it would be a hard no from me*
*taking into consideration I know people who got it without knowing a symptomatic person and one of whom is no longer treading the earth I am way cautious.
Definitely depends on the bubble thing. That's why I was comfortable on my MI trip. We ALL knew we kept within the bubble, and any interaction with others were with others that kept in the bubble. That being said, I would still stay in separate rooms. Better safe than sorry. And, while it may seem a bit over the top, mask up indoors, even at your mom's house. At the very least, keep 6 feet away.
