mongo_jones Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 i'd imagine the incentives would remain crazy for a while after the dealerships reopen as well. we'd actually been considering trading in our now 12 yo subaru forester for a hybrid before all this started. now seems like a good time. but yeah, no idea how we'd test-drive anything.

voyager Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 For two weeks, we have noticed pretty good mask/face covering practice in our neighborhood. Today, maybe because it's Saturday? we encountered several dozen 25-30 year old couples, many with babes in arm, ignoring the local rec. Mandate starts at midnight. Tomorrow will be interesting. But with all these newish babies. What are they thinking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abbylovi Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Tried sewing my own mask. That's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve R. Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Ginny took one of her old socks and put elastic bands on both ends, then gave it to me to wear. Sort of takes away any urge I've had to go outside. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 A bandana or scarf works well and looks ok. Easy to drop down when you're out of close quarters. Old socks would keep me indoors too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I'm wearing an airplane sleep mask. Only lower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Karpf Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Besides my double mask, I wear bits of a nurse costume when I go down (and sometimes up) the fifteen floors of our fire stair to the lobby to pick up stuff. I'd bought it two Februaries ago, to cheer up lovely spouse after her ankle replacement (our dry run for being homebound). The red stethoscope, white-cross-in-red-heart apron, and JESS BENDOVER name tag are popular (among adults; the kids just stare.) But not as much as the cross-in-heart hat. I carry the giant syringe (sold separately) only if I know I don't have something heavy to bring up. I have never been able to zip myself into the dress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 And I thought the guy in the full penguin costume this morning was weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daisy Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 And Danny Meyer wrong-foots it again. $10 million in aid to ‘small business’ Shake Shack, a one billion plus entity?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 He gave it back but of course he's not getting any love for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daisy Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Come on, he was shamed into giving it back. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
