A lil creativity fun...

When you hear a store has a fresh supply of something you need by the time you get there its all sold out.

If you just got home from shopping multiple stores to complete your list and you are getting ready to wash your hands, the water main breaks or the well's electric pump stops working.

If you're out of work due to shelter-in-place restrictions the only jobs available in your area are ones that put you in contact with the most people.

Three to get cha started...

Okay how about this one.

Went to the bank 3 1/2 weeks ago and decided to take $100 dollars out in case run on banks. Still have $10 left as strangely enough, nobody wants cash(new rules these days ...all debit). Might frame the ten once this is over. Safety counts...stay safe all

We are in building mode and had decided a month ago to order
all building supplies online at Lowe's which is an hour away.

They told me yesterday they lost the order, now what did I want?
I have cancelled the work crew twice.

Last night we got a call (text to message) caller unknown, who
said 'We might make a day-trip tomorrow, will you be home
in the afternoon?

We think it might be Lowes but they cut me off mid-order (new)
and promised to get back to me and never did.

So, if tis them, it is only a partial order and they were out
of many items.

Grrrr….we wait.

*Update: It wasn't Lowes but people wanting to come visit ;-)

When yer old and/or in poor health it can be months between visits from anyone yet shelter-in-place happens and you get two or three visitors a day.

Churches are shut down but liquor stores are still open.

Shelter-in-place tells you just how important your job really is.

You know its realy bad when your family sits down to discuss alternative toilet paper solutions.

Everything's great till you try to pay your virtual doctor's visit bill with virtual money.

I was amazed when I found out all these unemployed people from unimportant jobs were getting hired for pizza delivery. Well, because pizza delivery is important. Where the hell is my Dominoes!

There has been an explosion of porch people recently.

"NOW" is the time they should send out the Nielsen Ratings packages.

No matter how bad you think you might have it.
No matter how dangerous you think your job is to getting infected.
Just think a moment about your local garbage man.
