@AJuff I hope you come back to read these replies :heart: He's a jerk, and that behavior is abusive. I hope you're realizing that and acting accordingly. I wish you all the best.

Welcome! First and foremost, please make sure your depression and ED are being sufficiently controlled. That will make all the difference. Work closely with your doctor (hopefully he/she is helpful and supportive). I'm a big fan of working whatever I want into my plan, within reason. "Cheat" days/meals aren't necessary.…

80% chance of rain here every day between now and Friday :tongue: Netflix and Vit D supplements it is!

This one amused me today.

I've thought this for a while :neutral:

As a non-touchy person, I can dig this. Lawmakers advised to give 'Star Trek' greeting to avoid contact as Hill prepares for coronavirus https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/10/politics/coronavirus-congress-precautions-greeting/

And if you don't share this post, you're a monster and dooming all your friends and family to a horrible fate because obviously sharing things on social media changes your fate 😩 If you don't comment on this post, I'll know you didn't read it!!!!!!

You will be, if you run out of toilet paper! :lol:

Very well said, and I agree on all fronts. I work in the hospitality industry and know the company I work for is going to be affected, possibly quite severely, in the short term. But if that means a better long-term outcome, how can we not? We'll probably never know the extent to which social distancing will work/has…

Dallas has now confirmed at least one case of community spread and is also prohibiting gatherings of 500+. https://www.wfaa.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/5-new-cases-of-covid-19-reported-in-dallas-county-1-due-to-community-spread-officials-say/287-42732226-4780-4c82-893c-b2e53c0d7b74

I'm in the hospitality industry. We're likely to have a VERY bad March and 2nd quarter, at the least. My job is safe, but the entry level employees will be affected.

Where do bidets fall on the civilisation continuum? I'm thinking bidet > toilet paper > newspaper > corncobs (but really, isn't anything beyond poison oak/ivy/sumac greater than a corncob??)

Assuming there's a hospital with a respirator available for you to be on.

I fail to follow the logic of (preventable) deaths from this new virus being acceptable simply because other people die from the flu each year.

We're going this afternoon (just to top up some stuff, not a massive stock-up, as we already have a good pantry and freezer available). I also hope it's not madness. We're going to Aldi, so maybe it won't be as crazy.

I think this idea has merit. Don't punish people for calling in sick to help prevent the spread. Yes, some people will take advantage of it. And it will be a burden on many organizations, but at least people will be able to stay home if they're unwell without fear of losing their jobs. Plus 2 weeks of sick pay if you are…

I was joking with my husband last night after taking this picture how maybe in 5 years we'd be laughing about the Great Toilet Paper Apocalypse of 2020, and how people would still be using up what they bought. Then I got home and read about the numerous developments late yesterday evening, and it wasn't quite so funny…

I saw a center aisle display of cloth diapers (odd) and wondered briefly if someone thought it would be a good idea to boost product visibility, given the current TP situation. Strange days...

The toilet paper aisle at my local Walmart tonight. There aren't even any confirmed cases in my little town (yet).

Because I was *kitten* sick of eating in a deficit by that time 😂

Article highlighting just how much more widespread this could be (probably is) and a missed opportunity in Seattle for earlier warning. https://www.yahoo.com/news/just-everywhere-already-delays-testing-121556497.html

Maybe it's a matter of semantics, but if breaking a voluntary quarantine has legal ramifications, is it really voluntary? Or is it the difference between quarantining yourself at home versus being hauled off to serve your quarantine under strict supervision?

Nor do I feel it is a panic situation. But... An entire COUNTRY is locked down from this. I don't see any discussion here that is fear-mongering or unduly alarmist given the situation. Quite the opposite (aside from a few notable exceptions) it's all very level-headed.

To be fair, you weren't very worried at the beginning of this thread. Granted, that was 8 days ago, but obviously enough people were already worried enough to start discussing it. The nonchalant attitude toward spreading it to other at-risk individuals is the epitome of selfish, though.

Another perspective from Italy: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=532587150786846&id=209790553066509 And thank you, @snowflake954 for your firsthand accounts. It's very enlightening and gives those of us where it's just ramping a lot to think about.

I just realized we have a black market goldmine in the bathroom at work!

I've done it - and had the same reaction to myself :lol: Those picky little bags in the meat department are stubborn. At least it was one I'd already pulled off the roll. I'm also a contact-wearing eye-toucher, I've noticed since all this came up

#toiletpapergate is a thing now :lol: (I guess...I don't do the Twitter) https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/coronavirus-prompted-toilet-paper-gate-170200261.html

Sounds awful. Need another hug?
