I hope that your daughter will be okay. Why does your son in law have to go into work as an insurance agent? Can’t that be done remotely?
The insurance office that my son in law works in is a small one whose clients are mostly immigrants and older people who may not feel comfortable using the Internet. Hopefully a lot of the work will be on the phone.
 
Ok. Being home bound has made me do something I hate doing. I’m listing the last of the items I want to sell. :annoyed: Mr. S is doing the same.

I’m planning to use my proceeds on new clothes. Mr. S. is likely going to put his into more grilling / smoking stuff.

Anyone else listing items? If so, what do you plan to do with the proceeds? :smile:
I should be photographing and listing stuff, but it is just all too depressing.
 
We are just doing our best to survive each day. My husband is picking up curbside carry out from a local restaurant. We work in “shifts” during the day based on who has calls when. I’m only working 4 hours a day but it feels like the entire day because I have to take care of the baby in between any work I try to do. It’s so hard to stay focused and motivated in these circumstances. I workout every morning and go for a walk every afternoon or evening. My poor daughter is just so cooped up and a going wild. She will just shout at times, and just walks all around the house getting into whatever she can.
 
Offering positive energies and hope that your jobs are safe and secure. Hugs!
I need to take a peek!!
I don’t like grocery shopping so long before the virus scare I would order 80% of my groceries on line. As much as I can, I order deliveries from Amazon, Target, Whole Foods, etc... even WalMart. Almost all of that is on subscription / auto delivery so, I don’t ever have to think about it. What I need just shows up right when I need it.

The remainder I order from my local grocer for pick up. When I get to the store, I run in and get the items I’m picky on (produce, meat, seafood) and check out. Then, I’d pull my car around and have them load all the other stuff into my car. Easy peasy! Love this method!

I’ve tried a number of grocery deliver service going back 15 years-ish. I hate them all because they always pick the worst perishables. I think it’s strategy. Give the crap produce etc. to those getting delivery. Then the items in store are the best.

Pro Tip: Mr. S and I use an app called Any List. We have lists for Groceries (immediate need), Stock up (pantry back stock), Amazon, Hardware and Special Occasion (holiday and party). We can upload brands, quantities, etc. ...even photos of the item.

We log in on the same account and can update and access our shopping lists real time. So, whoever can run by the store always knows exactly what is needed in the house.
Once things go back to normal, I'm going to look into this app, I too am very picky on produce, meat, and seafood..
Thank you for explaining. I hope your market restocked, and that you were safely able to scoot in and get what you needed. :smile:
I was able to get everything, I needed, and I was able to get a pack of TP, and paper towels for my elderly neighbour, the scene this morning at the supermarket was a mad house!! I never thought i'd see people fighting for toilet paper...

I also bought a couple items. I’ve been wanting to try Vintner’s Daughter but they never allow their items to be discounted, even for Black Friday! When I saw they were 25% off, I decided to get them. The H lip products weren’t included in the sale were they?
I didn't know that H products were stocked by Nordstrom, but I can't imagine that they would have been discounted. I know that Chanel was not included in the 25% discount. But Shiseido was.

You are such a sweetheart to help others. I love that you are thinking beyond yourself! That’s what we should all do.
WOW....did he ever!!!
All our stores that even have TP have a two package limit. And, not many stores do!

I did find a source for N-95 face masks locally and they had cartons of them.
So, I bought three boxes.
Do you really think the masks are needed? I’m just not convinced that those under 60 who don’t have underlying conditions need to worry about catching It as much as transmitting it. The elderly and sick are more at risk.

I’m not being difficult. I’m just thinking that the more we can stay appropriately calm, the better.

The latest news is that something like 38% of hospitalized cases in the US are between the ages of 20 and 54. I don't know why they've been saying that young healthy people don't need to worry about getting seriously ill.

I've heard that the masks are more important for everyone to prevent transmission, that as long as you keep your distance from others, you don't need a mask. The mask would protect you if someone were to sneeze in your face. As far as I've heard, the virus isn't floating around in the air. If you aren't going to be in close proximity with people, it is much more important that surfaces are kept clean and if you touch surfaces, don't touch your face until you have had an opportunity to wash your hands.
