If I don't have to go to work, there is really no need to shower or shave.

You know, that’s a great idea for a project I need to take on right now... teaching Venmo to my mom.
She’s in her 70s and has COPD... given those risk factors, my sisters and I have been handling all her shopping and other errands. But she almost always reimburses me with a check.
I’m totally with you. It’s a real disaster for people unemployed, people with school age children, people having to work from home day after day, etc.; but it’s ok for my wife and myself because we’re both retired and not effected financially.Obviously this has been a global disaster, but I'm trying to look on the bright side.
I don't mean to belittle the suffering many are experiencing. I recognize how incredibly fortunate I am that employment has not been an issue and allowed me to do all of those things and enjoy them. Just trying to share a little positivity.
- I've saved 1.5 hours a day on commute, so less wear and tear on the car, savings on gas and maintenance, and more time to do other things
- Painted multiple rooms in our house
- Finally finished my basement - bought the new TV, set up a couple curio cabinets and loaded them up with all my sports memorabilia that's been packed away in storage for years.
- Built a 25X100 fenced dog run for our 4 maniacs.
- Got to do a ton of cooking. I really enjoy it and I had the time to try a lot of new things.
- Bought and a stocked a full liquor cabinet
- Replaced all our outdoor lighting (though my wife says she now feels like the Griswolds when she flips them on)
- Spent a lot of time with my son (am I bad father because we watched all 5 Jurassic Park movies in 3 days...and he's 7 - he insisted on watching them, no bad dreams or anything afterwards).
Not really anything...the experience has totally sucked...but feel both guilty and blessed that we have not been impacted as negatively as some (yet!) that have lost lives or livelihoods or both! Soldiering on and trying to make tbe best of things. Take nothing for granted and pray more daily.Obviously this has been a global disaster, but I'm trying to look on the bright side.

Ditched the long commute and sleeping in two more hours every weekday. Associated commuting costs besides gas and bus/train fare, I'm eating out a lot less for lunch and saving $. Been using an app every day the past two months and learning German.
Great site. I encourage all in pa to support you. Guessing you don’t deliver to Texas yet? The Irish Car bomb with Guinness chocolate and Jameson butterscotch? Come on. That sounds soooo great. When travel opens and I head up there to visit my parents, you are on the list. Good luckI'm only on Facebook now ,Cakes from the Lake. I am at Harvey's Lake Pa. I can only ship to a few states right now because it's hot . thank you for the support!
You are so talented!! I'm salivating just thinking of a slice of the Maple Bacon or Fruity Pebbles.I'm only on Facebook now ,Cakes from the Lake. I am at Harvey's Lake Pa. I can only ship to a few states right now because it's hot . thank you for the support!
I bake and sell cheesecakes to restaurants. Well that slowed to crawl after 3/17. The first week I remodeled my kitchen. The second week I got to work developing and sugar free gluten free cheesecake. After 9 cakes, I figured it out. Since then I have sold over 900 slices to a local market. I'm not making money, but at least I'm not going into debt. I also shipped a few cakes which went well and figured how to use Venmo.
Stay well my friends!
I have worn shorts for the most consecutive days since some long gone summer of my early youth... and possibly ever. Haven’t donned a pair of long pants since mid March. So comfy.
I've only worn pajama pants, sweats, and now that the weather has warmed up, shorts. Last week I got together with a few friends and wore jeans. I felt like I was dressing up!
C'mon Francis chill a bitI've read a half dozen books and spent time reflecting on my life....where I have been, where I am, and where I hope to be when I take my final breath.

Before the virus, we were regular casino players; Vegas every 4-5 months and we also attended several local casinos 2-3 times per week. We really miss this, it was our entertainment.
We also used to go out to eat every Friday and Saturday. Again, we miss this; but are now saving money because of these restrictions. Fortunately, I’m at the point in my life, where saving money is nice; but it’s not the focus anymore, like it was years ago. So I’d certainly rather go back to normal, and spend more money in the process.
I’ve also realized that my wife is about the only person that I could coexist with, day after day after day. Instead of going to the gym every day, we’ve created a routine together to get some exercise. Some walking, some weights, and some yoga. It’s ok, and not as good as the gym, but it’s better than nothing.
My wife and I have been very fortunate that we have not been impacted financially or from a work perspective. My wife works for a university supporting teaching with technology and I work in cyber security specializing in healthcare IT. We've been spending a lot of time working out, staying in shape, working in the yard and projects around the house, but probably the best thing has been all of the time spent at home with my Son and Daughter, a senior and junior in high school. I feel absolutely horrible for the kids who have really missed out on some major life events that I always took for granted. No Junior or Senior prom, no spring field hockey league for my daughter, no senior activities, no senior end of year party, no graduation ceremony, no senior beach week, not to mention they have not seen their friends since early March. All that, and to see just how positive an go-with-the-flow mentality they've exhibited in this shitty situation has probably been the most positive thing that came out of this. Proud of my kids!
And it’s even worse for seniors who are spring sport athletes.it does suck for seniors in high school, probably from a growing up perspective, senior prom,senior trip, graduation, beach week, graduation parties, summer college orientation visit. All things that are once in a lifetime type things that those kids are never going to get back.
Always pictured us retiring in New Hope. Mom's and son's were born in D town LOVE BUCKS CO1. We got to spend so much time with our 6 month old daughter. I mean, that really is a blessing. She ended up being in daycare for only 3 weeks in the end.
2. My wife got a new, better paying job for a new company that is lightyears ahead of her other one. Not really anything to do with the lockdown, but it happened during the pandemic, so that is great.
3. No more 2 hours a day commute.
4. My company is considering making working from home standard. I am already looking at big plots of land to build a house in bucks county. I never thought I would end up there, but if I don't have to commute, why the heck not.
5. We have saved a ridiculous amount of money and basically paid off every bill we had including our car and have a lot in the bank account now.
If you read the back page article in the most recent Penn Stater, one of our athletes wrote a fine essay about it.And it’s even worse for seniors who are spring sport athletes.
I grew up in Warminster. But I couldn't afford to live in the house I grew up in, these days (and my home in Columbus is bigger--at half the price). But it's fun to go back to Bucks County occasionally.Always pictured us retiring in New Hope. Mom's and son's were born in D town LOVE BUCKS CO

We raised our kids in flemington. AWESOME experience. It will take her 7 hours reaglsville to summit.
The negatives far out-weigh any positives.
Elderly forced into group quarantine... they should have just sent elderly to death camps
The economy imploding while people hid in basements wearing masks
Nope, all of the clever tik toks, and the self gratification commercials of companies congratulating themselves for their responses do not make up for the negatives.
I approve these cheesecake messages! I have had many slices and bought a few whole cheesecakes, they are awesome!!Thank you for the kind words. The fruity pebbles is the 2nd best seller.
Danke! Ich lerne Deutsch, langsam.
So you going to share??I've found some great new porn sites.
Nice!Yeah, I suppose it is 1 hour now, but when people are back on the roads, it will be quite different. We are in south orange now, which we happen to love. But without the need to commute, there is no reason to stay here with a smaller place than we could have elsewhere.
Also, she would just have to do a day or two in summit, is the hope.
