Frankly, I think we American citizens have become a candy-assed bunch since WW II or so.

Go on, take your shots.

I agree Ray, if there is not an APP for it we can’t fix it

I know one guy who got a cozy pension, moved to a sunny location and sits on his ass all day.

I was at Home Depot today. That's what they were doing.

Cuing people up outside the lumber entrance. Perhaps 30 people total in the store at a time. Long cue [[distance-wise) to the register. 4-5 registers open,.. but only 3 people checking out,.. so no one near you.

I don't think I was ever within 10' of anyone else, except slipping past the cashier while holding my breath.

The courts have said that isn't legal.

Well for sure our current culture is far more 'ME/ Instant Gratification' centered and now all of that has become challenged!

I’m on the same page Ray. It might be the formula for living a long life. In moderation of course.

Ray - You should be my personal shopper. And Bong-man for ahem, other things.

This information is 2 days old, but I find it interesting and useful. Basically it's compiled from several reliable sources and put into an easy to read/understand format.

I don't think members of this forum, who are an intelligent lot, need this advise, but maybe someone you might know might.

While it makes sense to buy disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizers and face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, toilet paper is flying off the shelves too, leaving many confused - and toilet paper-less.People have already started using common alternatives like wet wipes and cutting paper towel rolls into three pieces.

While the substitutes are creative, it's important to remember that these innocent alternatives can cause serious consequences because only toilet paper should be flushed.

The Macomb County Public Works Office and Great Lakes Water Authority remind residents that personal wipes, paper towels and other materials should not be flushed down toilets.

Personal wipes are especially misleading because they are often labeled “flushable” but they can clog sewer pipes and can create fatbergs - enormous piles of goop, grease and garbage in the municipal sewage system.
In 2018, an 100-foot-long, 11-foot-wide- 6-foot-tall fatberg that weighed about 19 tons was found in Macomb County's sewer line, which restricted flow and damaged sewer lines. It cost the county about $100,000 to remove.
