I picture you as the guy who stands at his window and calls the police on other people. Enjoy the quarantine.

The week before the lockdown I had a company out installing cabinets and siding and floors in my garages here. Was 2 guys, we didn't shake hands, kept a social distance, only entered the garage never the house etc. but now that company is shut down, the 2 guys have been let go so are claiming UE, but in reality they could have continued working safely without endangering anyone. So really the regulations just added unnecessary pressure to the UE system, the owner of that company, and all for no good reason. |

I shaved on March 12, while in Vegas.
When I returned for vacation, the world had changed, and I didn't bother. Last night, I'd had enough. Today I have eyebrows. |

NZ went into full lockdown a week or so back, everything closed. Guards at the entrances to communities making sure nobody comes or goes without cause. All groceries are delivery only. And for the most part the country hunkered down and are dealing with it. Here - I've read rants from people "last time i checked it was a god-damned free country and I'll go for a drive if I want to" - which only perpetuates the problem and makes it go on longer. I think you will have to wait until there's been a decline in cases before the stay at home orders are lifted, but I can see people going stir-crazy and making their own rules before that. |

based on the fact that over 3 million people filed for unemployment in the first two weeks of Covid half ass "lockdown" leading one to believe, that hardly anyone in this country has any money saved. So how long do you think people/businesses can go on like this? |

We'd discussed this before our wedding and decided, that our love was coming from our hearts and left is the heart side so to speak, the left ring finger is the elongated line from the heart. Sound sentimental maybe, but those were our thoughts.

With that said, there are a good number of people who don't know shit about finances and literally live day to day on their paycheck. I'm not talking about the people who are in bad life situations, I'm talking about the ones who make good money and after a week of no work would be 100% screwed.

How in the hell are you constantly broke when you make 100,XXX a year? We got our bonuses at the 1st of March. His is gone. I still have every bonus I received for the last 5 years put away. I admit I'm a cheap bastard, but that is ridiculous. **edit** And we live in an area where the cost of living is cheaper than anything you could imagine!

It's not even about being cheap. I would consider myself "frugal" in that I try to save where I can and spend my money on things I enjoy like my hobbies or fun trips. It's just about being smart. If one loses their job or gets laid off ideally you would like to have enough savings to live for 6 months before you find something else. Most people I know could live for about 6 days or until their first car payment. This is exactly how you become a slave to your job. The more prepared you are financially, the less stress you have.

Music soothes
I know we were talking about Chris Cornell last week but not sure which thread it's in. Listened to the CD going home last night and found I am the Highway very calming. Yesterday morning was Ray Charles and this morning BB King.
That is all. And yes, I still do CDs. Get off my lawn.
