We're All Going to Die

So why is Verizon shops closed and tmobiles open? (in my area) wouldn't you say any phone is essential right now?

My daughter just got a Verizon phone upgrade, and she wanted to go to a store to do the backup from her old phone (which she can do online, but you tend to run into problems). But also she wanted to get that protective coating applied too. None of the Verizon stores are open. They just said "do it online".
 
Ya, they have some no bs metal walls protecting the equipment.

So the story is, the old lady needed a new vacuum. There's this german brand she wanted. It's 800 bills. Yes that's a lot. I ask my parents, her parents, and the sister/bro in law to go halfers. I would throw in 400, you guys fill the other half. What I did wrong was I didn't ask everyone for their proper share. My folks throw out 200 into my account right after. I'm halfway there. I get 75 cash from her folks, that's ok they gave us a huge xmas gift. The brother says he'll give 75 bones. They must have spoken right? How do they both come up with 75 each? Anyway I tell the sister to give me 25 more and I'll come up with the other 25, that's 425 from me. Hell no. I'll give you 50. The brother, a true miser, says since I got 1,200 from the prez and that I should cover it. I called both left a message that it was my fault for not divvying up the needed cash out of the 6 givers. I said screw it, it's her birthday and I ran out and got it, with service insurance. Happiest girl in the world. She vacuumed the house for a good 3 hours. Have I heard back from those two? Nope.
 
That's some story. What kind of vacuum is it? $800 is a ton. Glad she likes it and sorry it caused all that stress.

Oh and this line made me chuckle:

Mister geosync, there's an old expression, "Loan a friend money and you'll lose both your money and your friend." I don't know if there's a similar saying about family members and money but if there isn't, there should be. You can be happy that Mrs. geosync is happy. Forget about the misers.

It's a Miele, a german brand. It's really really nice. I just learned their side of the family gives exactly 75 bucks for birthdays. I guess I should have caught on. Oh well. I have plenty of non blood nieces and nephews to take care of.

We're looking for a small calf to cover the milk. Anybody know any good chicken farmers?

That's a crazy story. Family drama sucks.

Never do business with family.
Nothing good ever comes of it.

I know the brand, but have never used anything they make. I've seen their espresso machines in coffee shops.

They are starting to remove restrictions in Ohio starting Monday. Restaurants are still going to be closed for dine in for now, and everyone is supposed to stay at home as much as possible, work from home if you can, maintain social distancing, that kind of thing. I think it's way too soon. The number of infections is going to climb like crazy and the economy is going to get worse than it is now.

Yes, to stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, maintain social distancing.

That's where this will all fall apart.
People are going to start acting like the worst is behind us and there's nothing to be concerned about. They won't distance, they won't wear masks, they won't wash their hands, and they won't understand why they get sick.

Unfortunately, they are going to take the rest of us out with them.
It's like farting. It's fine when you're all by yourself, but if you're in an elevator there are a lot of other people that have to go along for the ride.

Thats the best time. Then look discustingly at the guy next to you.
 
Hey, Dr. Breen, you successfully treated COVID-19 patients and you survived the coronavirus yourself. What are you going to do next? Probably not anything we would have expected.
