If anyone is interested, since most are stuck at home. Curiosity Stream has a great deal for a dollar a month if you purchase the year. Some amazing scientific, nature, biographies.. I can go on and on. Anyway it’s a nice respite to get lost in something for awhile.

It's frustrating to find that things I often keep in stock at home, such as brown rice and lentils - have been discovered by the hoarders and consequently - those with nothing else to find on the shelves.

A Spirited Perfect Ten
As things have stabilized (to some degree) in the real world, I thought it was 'now or never' to begin what will likely be my last Spirited thread here (no, I am not leaving, just pulling back and putting priorities where they should be). I'll still be around from time to time and I won't forget...forums.wdwmagic.com
Actually, appears to be this one for the site (until I find another one):
The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread
This is a fun, light-hearted thread for just chit chatting. This is the place for updates on the ups and downs of life, news of the weird, favorite TV shows, good movies, etc. But we should all at least act like friends. ;) Clean slate and all that. I'll start by saying I just saw Gone Girl...
Along the same lines, I've had the hardest time just finding all-purpose flour!

My local grocery is consistently sold out of flour. But you can still buy a 50-lb bag at Costco!

Extraordinarily frustrating. Things there's typically more than what's needed on the shelf are now 100% gone. It's why I've been so persistent in griping about the hoarders and panic shoppers. We bought a little extra that we're storing in case of emergency, but I'm not greedy enough to take the last 5 packages of chicken because I'm afraid I might not be able to get it next week - I know there are other families out there that need to eat, too.
And they are as much of the problem as the virus is. Self entitled morons.
We had them in the UK yesterday when it was a Sunday and pleasant weather. Ignored urgent advice to stay at home. Parks were very busy. Like national holiday busy. Beaches packed. Now we’re awaiting a ”speech to the nation” (not the usual daily update) this evening from Borris. Lockdown here we come.
And I hope so.

I'm like the opposite of bored. My main problem is settling on which movie to watch, which album to listen to, etc.

Something we were talking about at work today: In the past Indiana unemployment required cashing in all PTO/vacation to be eligible. Not really sure if they are waiving it temporarily for people that are unemployed due to this but expected to return later. Or how many other states have the same policy.
I can see that effecting all tourism once they do reopen though.

In my line of work, I have clients throughout the United States and Canada. It's very interesting to see the differences in different regions of the country. Anecdotally, the South and Midwest are weeks behind the East and West coasts; I'll leave it at that.

Hubby considered using his, but opted instead to save it for when he goes back to work because things will more than likely be slow and/or sporadic to begin with.

Try the 23yo 290Lb co-worker with no children bragging about all the meat he bought, and deep freezerS his wife packed full of frozen goods before limit were put in place. There were quite a few glares from parents that had been discussing not having enough for their kids since school was out and the hoarding. (and maybe a few wondering where he lived....
)I would take the PTO later also. When things get back to normal, the discretionary spending market will not the gang busters as it was since I think Americans will double think about many purchases moving forward since some of their 401Ks have been hit hard or a good amount may still be unemployed.

Oh, I 100% supported his choice. Sometimes he makes very questionable decisions, but fortunately this wasn't one of them.

All states are different. I had the misfortune of being laid off in a state where I was hosed out of unemployment because the amount of my severance package impacted when I could apply and when I could apply my later application meant the time I was working and the company paying the unemployment insurance was outside the window for their formula. Unemployment sounds like a good deal and you never really look at the detail of it until you need it... but it can often have some very strange formulas that can bite the person in the backside.

I'd say the usual helping each other when someone is behind on things may just be "unavailable" till this is over.

Absolutely. But to brag like that is just being a total jerk.
