I was practically crying when I first saw it. Especially Kate McKinnon's old woman! "you trying to kill me, Alize"?

AHA! I was thinking Puff Pastry as in the sheets like Filo dough. Yours makes sense.

Just curious, how is Puff Pastry an acceptable substitute for Turkey Breast?

When I went to my Mariano's in Edgewater about a week or so ago, I did not see wipes. Just a thing of hand sanitizer and I think it was empty with a sign saying "soap available in restroom". Since Kroger bought them, a HUGE decrease in quality all the way around.

Growing up in a heavily Jewish community (at one time had the most Holocaust survivors living there in the U.S. - Skokie, IL) my friends always pronounced it Matzo BRIE but I think it really is spelled BREI. Quarantine getting to us. At it was just hinted today that IL may be in lockdown til June.

I cannot overemphasize how important it is to contact someone who lives alone. Not just to ensure they are not sick, but to keep them connected. I recently retired from my career at Christmas. I was surprised at a couple of people who contacted me in January and February to keep in touch. Both are older single women, so I have been in contact with them during this time and I can tell it helps one whose family in not in the area a lot. It helps me also! Have had a couple of Zoom "Happy Hours" and it lifts my spirits tremendously.

Thanks everyone for the good advice. I should mention that I am allergic to cats, otherwise, I probably would foster one now as I could even care for it if sick at home. My favorite shelter in Chicago, PAWS, is out of foster dogs at the moment. I too, worry, that many people are adopting now and when they must go back to work, will return them to the shelter.

OH! That face! :-)

You are probably correct, however, I also do not own a car so not sure how I would return the pet, plus if infected, supposed to quarantine for at least 14 days.

The real issue is, that if I become infected, NO ONE should be allowed to come to my house to fetch the dog to take him for walks, etc. While it appears that dogs do not GET COVID, I think it can reside in their fur, etc. And if I am hospitalized?

So gents, I am a single man who lives alone. I have wanted a dog for a long time but when i was working it was too hard with my schedule. I am now retired and was about to volunteer at a no kill shelter but COVID has postponed that opportunity. I feel like I could really use the emotional support of a dog, however, I am wondering if wise with this virus raging. Say I adopted/fostered a dog and caught COVID. Who would take care of the dog (i.e. walks, etc.). I suppose this scenario could be applied to if I got cancer, etc with the exception of being able to hire a dog walker. So i guess my question is, any single men out there with a dog and if so, are you making contingency plans in case you become infected with COVID? Thanks Jon

I have about 5 N95 masks that are probably at least 10 years old. I plan on using one or two for the grocery store and wondering if spraying with 91% alcohol will be sufficient to sterile. I only have a few pairs of disposable gloves but have some polyester blend winter gloves that I use and then toss in wash or alcohol spray. The problem is, as someone on here mentioned, as soon as you touch something in the store, you should consider them contaminated. There was a Youtube video showing a woman in the grocery store with gloves and then she touched her keys, which then went back into her purse, etc. It seems like an endless cycle. I get home, empty my pockets, toss the clothes into the wash (keep the lid already open!) then wash hands. Then toss in detergents, etc. and start wash. Then sanitize groceries, wash hands, then sanitize phone, wallet, etc. Wash hands again twice and then wash face (OK, I am obsessive now). My friend is now putting his phone in a baggie so if he needs to use it while out he can. Comes home opens the bag and lets the phone slip out, then tosses baggy and washes hands. What is everyone doing to disinfect produce?

Is anyone jumping rope? I've seen some posts on Facebook about it and thinking I could probably do it on my back porch (assuming i can still jump at my age!).

And I LOVED her for doing it, but she blew it BIG time by having her hairdresser come to her house (albeit supposedly in gloves and mask) to cut her hair. The memes, however, are hysterical!

Doesn't really sound too pleasurable. But no anyway.

I am kind of surprised how many providers in Chicago still have active ads and many with AVAILABLE NOW. Yes, still perusing the ads for visual eye candy and ahem, fantasy material.

I'm kind of doing the same, tossing the clothes into the washing machine, spraying down the coat, disinfecting groceries and then the counter, double washing my hands and then washing my face. Now I might start jumping into the shower also. Also then wipe down all the doorknobs and light switches. Sounds extreme, but since it now seems to be spread by talking and breathing, well, if it gives me a bit of peace of mind, why not.

You're going to RENO! Cool!

If (ok, will be positive and say WHEN), things are under control or safer, though at this point I cannot imagine what that means, will you all be travelling more since we now know we cannot take freedom of movement/activity for grated? Yours in isolation, Jonny

I haven't checked today but on Saturday I was curious, so looked at the Chicago listings. Only a few said "not available" and most were "available" including a well known Pornstar/Escort who, on his Facebook page just days before, mentioned that he is pretty sure he is getting over COVID-19. Scary times. Bored and horny as f-ck but guess fantasies, porn and memories will have to work hand in hand with lube and poppers for at least another month.

Actually I have family in Hawaii and it's kind of like the rest of the US. Beaches are closed and all activities suspended. I guess if you have a nice place with a nice lanai and view, staying at home is not as bad as the cold Midwest and Northeast but not real glamorous now either.

I don't think this has been discussed on here yet, but if so, apologies. So I live in Chicago, in the city, about 3 miles from my hospital. I am single, live alone and do not own a car. I am over 60. The few that do are older and in the high risk category. I have a phone appt with my PCP on Thursday so will ask his advice, but wondering. If I do contract COVID-19 and end up with a case which is resulting in my needing to get tested or admitted to a hospital, how would I get there? No Uber or Lyft or Taxi would be willing I doubt. I guess I could take public transit but that seems irresponsible. Would calling an ambulance be too extreme and taking one out of commission for someone truly needing it in a life or death situation? I know this sounds very extreme, but just trying to prepare, as it seems like it's going to rip through the population.

You greedy, selfish b-tch! :-)
