I can’t tell you the last time we used a grocery store. BJs/Costco gets our grocery dollars.

Bagging milk gets it to hang lower so you can carry more bags. One trip unloads FTW.

So I wear a mask any time I'm outside, and I cross the street when I'm walking the dog and someone comes towards me.

And I wear a mask when I'm standing in line to go inside the grocery store.

Shame me all you want, IDGAF, I want to be there for my wife and my child.
Do whatever you want, it is a free country. I get your reasoning 100%... but if your state gets like California, you won't be able to be there anyway, FYI...

However, I think everyone should stop and think for a moment.... everyone is afraid to touch anything, but eating fast food is OK? Did you autoclave that packaging and not eat a fry from a container that certainly had a hand inside it? How about your coffee ? Have you seen how the animals at Starbucks handle the cups and lids?

I believe that there's no way anyone is picking this up from touch, someone needs to be breathing down your neck or making out with you to transfer it. There are reports of the same, but they don't fit the narrative, so they get reversed and a new, more appropriate report/guidance is issued.

That's cool.

All of my senior guys have been my friends for over 20 years when we first started working together 4 companies ago. It's great to have good relationships with people you work with because you can depend on them more than some potential asshat you hired off the street.

She's made it a year longer than I ever thought she would. Its just time.
Damn, that sucks.

I only hope I get 16 years out of mine. She's 6 and her chin is already almost fully white. Still acts like a pup though, so there is hope.

:howdareu: that requires at least double plastic. Possibly double plastic plus a paper bag. Everyone knows this.

There recently was an article interviewing lots of the top drs in applicable fields, including Fauci, about what they personally are doing. Most didn’t seem to have much concern about prepared food or packaging for deliveries/groceries/etc.

Exactly, so why is everyone afraid to touch a box from Amazon/Fedex/UPS?

For the record though, I don't trust Fauci at all. The "experts" that spout information early to only retract their statements to change course over and over again don't get much credit from me.

To them, it lives on surfaces for 3 days.
No wait, it's 40 minutes.
Nope, 17 days!!!
I don't even know what the propaganda says today.

Pretty sure it's all of about 2 microseconds or I'd have had it by now. I initially for the first couple weeks washed my hands more than I had in the last 5 years. Now I do it like I did before. I've filled up for gas no less than 80 times in the last 2 months doing the drives to AZ and NV and I even stopped wearing a glove at the gas station. Been in a TON of places with zero masks in "hotspots" like the LA area, Arizona and Las Vegas. Spent 8 nights in Vegas at the Palazzo and went to all the open casinos. How the fuck am I not in the ground already!?!?! I must be immortal since I even have a couple preexisting conditions and should be locked away, according to these "experts".

We don't use enough cow milk to buy anything but the magic 12oz bottles that somehow have expiration dates months out.

We buy unsweetened Oat Milk now for anything like cereal or drinking, I actually like it a lot... but it only comes in cartons in the brand I like, so it gets bagged. I used to be a 100% Fat Full Vitamin D milk guy until last year and wouldn't even think of 2%, almond milk or anything else... I was wrong.

Kiddo gets full fat vitamin D, and that’s my preference as well. It works for me.

Oat milk sounds interesting doe.

:dat: most of the newer reports I’ve seen indicate that the ‘VID doesn’t really survive on objects, it seems to be almost 100% transmitted through droplets in the air.

It’s pretty good but the cow shit is better, IMO. I have cut way down on beef in an effort to lower my environmental impact but I do love milk. I’m more of a 1 or 2%er though.

It makes work way more enjoyable IMO, and the dependability thing is a factor for sure. I don’t ever want to disappoint my employer, more out of necessity of keeping a job; but I’d do damn near anything for someone I consider a friend.

Speaking of, I was supposed to go grab lunch with the guy that hired me at my last company soon, but everything just shut back down. Hopefully we can in the next few months. He’s a great guy. Randomly texts me still to see how my mom is doing and stuff.
