Luck of the draw. This one happens to be in a complex that's two miles from my house. So my love of not driving far paid off for once.

There was a discussion about Dentists earlier... I had to make a trip to one today. A molar that was mostly filling anyway decided it was time to be pulled. I must've gotten a decent dentist, because he was in and out in 10 minutes and the tiny amount of post-extraction pain is easily defeated...

That was pretty much the same way I rationalized getting the vaccine in February when thinking "this could go to someone in even greater need". We're all going to need it eventually, if they didn't think I qualified for it now I wouldn't be getting it, I'm one less potential hot spot afterward...

Oh, yeah, I remember that Ice stuff. When I first cut sugared drinks out, that stuff and some Pepsi brand of grape flavored water were about all I could stand. The diet/sugar free sodas just tasted like crap coming immediately off of liquid corn squeezins. Over time, though, as the memory of...

IMO, Coke Zero tastes more like Coke than the regular HFCS stuff. I can't say it's my regular soft drink of choice, but when I get the urge for one it tastes like a real Coke, dammit.

So, same as pretty much any grocery store.

At least none of them have the side effect of "dick falls off". ...yet. Though there was one drug that was always advertised during NASCAR races in the 2019 season whose side effects were literally "taint rots off". Seriously. The side effects were "necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum"...

Local doctors are very cautious, and I applaud that. I was due in this week for a usual 6 month followup for prescription renewals. Well, I've had what may be the most minor cold I've ever had for about a week (since the day after I got a flu shot). Some nasal congestion and drainage...

I restocked on toilet paper a couple months back when Amazon had cases of it back in stock. And by case, it's 3 normal-sized packs in the original box, not, like, 144 rolls or anything. Then I bought another pack when COVID case numbers started rising again, because better safe than sorry. So...

Speaking of early ballots in a totally non-political way, I have to go out and pick up 2021's dog licenses on Monday, so I'll be dropping my ballot off then. I've had it for a while, but feel better about dropping it off in person. And everything's right there with the county bureaucracy, so...

Hell, NASCAR isn't even going to The Glen this year, for the first time since they returned in '86. New York's requirements are too stringent, so they moved August's traditional road course race to the Daytona road course since Florida is... well, Florida.

I'd been in all GM, Ford, or Chrysler stuff until last year. They all had trunk buttons from the mid-90s on. Though now that I think of it, I'm not sure the current Kia Soul has an interior hatch popping button. I'm going to have to check that out.

Really? I've never owned a vehicle that didn't have a little button letting you pop the trunk from inside the cabin, and I've barely been inside of one in my life. The last two I ever rode in without a trunk button were Chevy Monte Carlos from the mid-to-late 80s. But by the time I was 10 and...

So I was out today. Groceries. It's summertime. It's hot. Attractive ladies are wearing what attractive ladies wear in the summertime... short skirts, short shirts, short everything. And masks. And I realized... we're going to be creating a generation of mask fetishists. Guess it can't be...

I've hit an Ollies a couple times in the last week. Walking Dead Compendiums, $60 cover price, for $10 each. Turns out that was the deal that got me to go into public. Bought myself a full set, went back for a couple extra to scalp online. From my one journey out, it appears that the two major...

Finally got sick of my hair, went out back, and shaved it all off. That'll take me to the fall, when we'll see whether it's okay to go to professionals again. To be fair, though, this isn't a corona thing... I've never seen the point of haircuts. I've either let it grow for a decade or so, or...

Yes, but "We're all in this together!" is a much more hopeful and friendly slogan than the realistic "Stay the fu*king hell away from me, I don't know where you've been! UNCLEEEEEAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!".

I complained about that a few weeks ago. I lucked into chicken, the small two breast packs. So I picked up 4 or 5 of them, which equaled out to two family-sized packs, which is my normal haul. They refused to sell me more than two of the small packs. Nothing I could do, and I'm not the type to...

Damn. Best I've seen is a buck forty nine. I saw a meme somewhere about $5 bucks being gas money again. It definitely is where you're at.

Just saw a new Charmin commercial on TV. The Charmin bears are freaked out and don't have any toilet paper, which leads me to believe we're all doomed.

Made the weekly grocery run today. Had to hit a store after the bulk of the pickup because, well, can't find everything in one place. I was surprised to see how many people do have masks of some type since they're not mandatory. Not many have gloves, though. I'm the opposite. I glove up, but...

I think I mentioned that a couple weeks back in the other thread, wondering how older sewer and septic systems would be holding up after a month or so with everyone home and taxing them more.

Depending on the neighbor, I could be okay with no pants at the mailbox. Better than a robe but no underwear.

Did you make this meme?

I hit the grocery store around 10 this morning, which was right after I got up. Fewer people than my usual Noon-1PM time. They had a good amount of what I wanted. Had chicken breast in stock for once... the little packs with two breasts in 'em. I picked up 4 of 'em, which equaled out to around...

Same here. Plus, it's allergy season, which means I have sinus issues and a bit of a cough for the month, so it doesn't help having symptoms that can go for either when your brain immediately wants to jump to the "I'm screwed" conclusion.

Yeah, that's what doesn't have me thrilled right now... I'm actually going out more now than I was before this all started because it's impossible to get more than a couple days' worth of groceries now where before, I could buy enough to last me a week and it would be fine. But between shortages...

My last haircut was a few months ago, and if it really pisses me off I'll go out back and shave my head. Wouldn't be the first time.

Still resisting the urge to buy a hazmat suit, start screaming "UNCLEEEEEEAN!" and run around sterilizing stuff. So I guess I'm okay for now! Grocery stores locally are still pretty wiped. Speaking of wiping, about a month ago I didn't want to go out and buy toilet paper (I was obeying stay at...

Speaking of Wal-Mart, ordering online is now officially impossible. Most of what isn't listed as out of stock gives you a "oops, something went wrong" notice when you try to add it to your cart and doesn't add it. Oh well.
