Shoot....I was trying to instigate a huge Lowes/Home Depot/Nagle/Spahn and Rose debate....

I drove downtown to the office today for a couple of hours. Very little traffic. The security guys in the lobby seemed happy I was there. They talked forever. I think they're pretty bored.
I'm not sure you can really debate or even compare Spahn and Rose. One was a pitcher and one was a position player.
There are so many other C-list, Oscar-coveting, Epstein-rapists I hate more than little Mark Ruffalo. Ruffalo would not go to a hardware store anyway. He is soooo 2017.
What about Olivia Wilde? What a disgrace that is contemporary to 2020.
Good old time multi-topic CG post
1. DH and I have been talking about donating our incoming corona$$ to people/orgs. We are very fortunate that our jobs have not been impacted and savings are fine. Know that many, many people are not in the same boat. Taking suggestions.
2. I feel like having two friends due around my birthday ended up being a curse. One has already had the baby Earth side for over a month now (yeah, that's a lot of weeks early. Months early. Mom and I have gone through a lot of life milestones together and it's awful, awful, terrible to see her going through this and be unable to even show up to hug her) and the other (who is expecting two) is now on bedrest for a few weeks until they can deliver, if she doesn't go sooner.
And of course with the craziness, first mom is the only visitor allowed (dad can no longer go) and bedrest friend can't have husband come visit so she's all alone in this. First mom baby is stable and growing but still a long road and definitely some challenges for being born just before what is even considered viable ( they think baby was a bit further along than estimated) and it's been a hell of a rough time for both friend, baby, and the family. COVID not making that easier.
3. I had a third thing but now I can't remember. Maybe the fact that we're talking to two patio people and how in light of the first two items in my list it feels entirely frivolous and unimportant in the grand scheme.

I remember what the third was. Also not happy. Tonight around dinnertime baby and I heard "wee-wooos" and I told him they were going somewhere to help someone. Turns out they were coming down the street. To a house with a medically fragile child who had a freak accident last fall resulting in a TBI near our little neighborhood park. The mom is sorta insta-famous so it made all the rounds in that universe.........and is actually how we found out when an account I follow shared the story and I realized that the firetruck baby and I watched last summer was for this accident literally a few houses down from us. I'm hoping it was a false alarm kinda thing but definitely felt sick seeing them in front of that house.
Order take out on fridays and give $100 tips to help them keep the doors open. Give your barbers and hairdresser payment for a cut they didn’t do.
Probably. It didn't look right, but I didn't see the squiggly underline telling me it was wrong so I went with it.
Here's my interpretation of ingenuous:
Webster's uses "innocent" and "unsuspecting" as synonyms.
Funny, I don't see Papa Lew as either of those things.
Naturally the day I am getting my new furnace and AC the weather turns back into winter. Freezing rain all morning. Set the thermostat to 72 to warm the place before they start removing the old one.
I do need to do the haircut gift card at least because both kid and I needed a haircut as this happened. I need to see if there's a way to get it to the stylist I always use
Thanks madguy -- I started watching last night and then decided no more big screen (monitor) time was better for my mental health at the time
This morning we go Greek, with the word of the day "Pelion." The notes explanation immediately made me think of our current circumstances as seen by people in those other threads.

Good news is this seems to have been mostly precautionary
1. The foundation at a local hospital (maybe one of the ones your friends are in) may be good. The Salvation Army generally delivers a pretty good return of services for the amount they receive. Local churches quietly do a lot of charitable work in the community. If you can find a local nurse's association, they could probably use the funding.
2. My thoughts and prayers are with your friends and their families.
3. It seems frivolous too but we just received a new receiver box from our cable company and it's not working and I'm frustrated.
I broke down a bunch of empty boxes in the basement the other day. Drove over to the place where you can drop off your recycling and there was a white trash family digging through the dumpsters. Woman, man & daughter pushing around a stroller with a kid.
