Coronavirus will be a distant memory by August. Hopefully toilet paper supplies have returned to normal by then.

More hand sanitizer or other "medicinal" alcohol with the proceeds? 😀

Corona in cans is my go to at the beach, should be a win/win!

Small win for IO today, cancelled the flights for the weekend trip, then rebooked same flights, and pocketed about $100.

No one on this forum said much about Schumer and his recent threats targeting 2 supreme court justices...........

Not much has been said (other than a select few...very few....) mentioned a word about Biden's loss of mind yesterday on this forum.......

But be honest...had that been Trump instead of Biden....cursing workers in their own workplace, threatening violence, blatantly lying about public comments he had indeed made, and butchering gun lingo, I am guessing those that were quiet yesterday on this forum would have been chirping quite loudly.......

OK, first of all it's Chuck Schumer making a threat, is anyone really going to take that serious? But I get the point, had Mitch McConnell done the same thing, the media would lose their minds.

It's pretty well known the most dangerous place in America is being between Chuck Schumer and a TV Camera.

Since it's just the smokin hot wife and I and we buy TP at Sam's, we only buy TP about once or twice a year, and I just picked some up Monday, I'd say we're good. IO is not nearly as full of shit as some people would make him out to be!

#FACTSSSS yeah it is rough, even a rail would be nice! 

Seems odd though, administration over there is young, hungry, and seem to be all about building something. I don't know much about the local demographics, is that an issue? Assuming older more farm based type people in Aurora vs. what Lawrenceburg has attracted with the boat?

Well it appears that the entire South Dearborn community is against turf, or spending money on improvements in general. Which is a shame because the administration sees the need, but is handcuffed... and shackled at the feet too. 

Yet Lawrenceburg has had it for several years and EC added it last year. I'll be honest if they'd just put an escalator in to the field, I'd donate! That climb out of there after the game sucks!

I got a 50 dollar drone for Xmas from father in law 3 Xmas ago, it was decent day out, sunny, no snow,  we took it outside,  legit, lost it and crashed it behind some houses in a farm field, I would say only 200 or so yards away from my house, I searched for HOURS for that thing......   used it for about 4 minutes total.   Felt horrible. 

I have nearly pulled the trigger several times. I have plenty of empty cornfields right now to practice in. We see them all the time at the beach.

Are you canceling your trip IO? Maybe you’ve already said, I haven’t been around much. Life is kicking ass and taking names on us right now.

Surely you jest!

I saw some of it, truly heartbreaking to me that such nonsense still exists today. 

OHSAA is only allowing four tickets per player and two tickets per coach to the state basketball tournament. 

Ivy League cancelled their men's and women's tournaments.

Big West and MAC are not allowing general admission. 

Where is the IHSAA on this issue? Can they afford the financial hit of not allowing general admission to the regional, SS, or Finals?

What about the NCAA?

From what I've heard via the grapevine, Avon HS with their current situation has lost about half of their baseball season. 

Who will win out, public safety or the almighty dollar?

I've watched a lot of these large scale RC vids on Youtube, awesome stuff. I'd be scared to death to crash it. 

Perhaps it was bad makeup, just a rough night, he's under the weather, whatever, but I didn't think Biden looked very good Tuesday night in a very subdued speech from Philly. 

Clearly Skank Hunt 42.

Yep ... although retirement's a little closer.

Gotta admit though, in my younger day's when I used to day trade, there was an "addictive" level to it.  Nowadays, I'm addicted to watching my dividends reinvested.

Did you find a neck brace in there too?  The whiplash from the market movements are going to be enough to snap the head right from the shoulders.  😀

My financial advisor touched base with me yesterday and I'm meeting with him Thursday ... it's actually just a regular check-up, but the timing makes it seem sinister.  Based on all of our previous meetings, we'll probably talk money for 5 minutes and football for 55 minutes.  The only thing that would make it better is if we were doing it over a beer.

I quit even looking at it. I'm not a trader, I'm an investor, in it for the long haul right?

I was actually referring to SF's memeriffic stats.  Sorry for confusion

The question remains, no confusion on my part.

Stats are incorrect

Do you ever have anything of value to add to any discussion?

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/

I ran some numbers last night that I was being spoon fed by Don Le'mon from around the world. The stats seemed pretty consistent, death rate of those who get the virus is about 3.5%. Given other risks, auto accident, heart attack, stroke, murder, medical malpractice, etc., I'll take my chances, but in the process I will buy all the toilet paper and hand sanitizer I can find. 

FYI just for shits and giggles I checked Walmart online, no alcohol available at the local Walmart and only two bottles of glycerine.

I thought you were Mr. Self-Sufficient. 😅😆 Just make your own. https://www.inverse.com/mind-body/the-science-of-making-your-own-hand-sanitizer

Checked my coach’s bag, problem solved. I have larger containers, I just refilled. 

I contemplated making my own. I got plenty of Zicam and Zinc.

Amazon doesn't have it........freaking AMAZON doesn't have the little travel size hand sanitizer. Oh well, I guess I'll take my chances with a cold!

I do the same thing.  But I already have plenty stocked up in my bathroom for packing.  Every January just before show season, I stock up on the small deodorants, shaving gel, etc. that you need to be able to fly.  This year, I've been on both ends of the country (Seattle, Boston) and Canada (Edmonton and Montreal) and many in between, stuck in Detroit, Minneapolis and Nashville.  A cold ALMOST caught me in Toronto last week, but strategic use of Zi-Cam, Benadryl and fishermen's friend lozenges kept me from getting a full blown cold.  AND plenty hand sanitizers and alcohol wipes.....

Love the Zicam! It seems like every time I turn around someone is coughing on me. I use the Zicam swabs. 

For many years, when I fly, go to conventions/trade shows, any time I am in contact with large groups of people, or will be shaking a lot of hands, I have carried a small bottle of hand sanitizer in my pocket. No I've never been a germaphobe, but noticed many years ago after such events I usually came down with some sniffles or a cold. I started using hand sanitizer, and problem solved. So I keep a small TSA compliant bottle in my backpack when we fly, which just happened to run out when we came back from Florida in November. Of course me being me, I threw the bottle away. Fast forward over the weekend I've been all over trying to get another small bottle and I'm staring at empty shelves. Are you kidding me? I don't even care about Coronavirus, I just don't want a cold!

Indiana confirms first presumptive positive case of coronavirus: https://www.jconline.com/story/news/health/2020/03/06/coronavirus-indiana-cases/4973737002/

I had plans to attend an event in the Indianapolis metro area over the weekend.  Guess I will have to cancel.   Time to buy some more seeds................

 

I will be at the IHSAA for a meeting Sunday morning...game on!

Flying to Florida next Saturday... game on!

I will drink extra alcohol just to be safe!
