Canada coronavirus toll rises, officials probe seniors' home deaths
The Canadian Parliament on Saturday quickly debated and approved a wage subsidy measure worth C$73 billion ($52 billion) to help firms and individuals.
Huh... who knew you could get things done so fast and on a Saturday no less.
US $52 billion?
Amateurs
They need a better money printer.
Brrrrrr
Funny - unfortunately trueQuote:

Woot! My friends are busy making masks (I don't sew) and everyone is running out of elastic. They have been pleading for people to donate what they have. Not being a person who sews I have nothing or at least I thought that was the case until I realized I have panties! LOL!
I buy packs of Hanes panties and every once in a while I'll get some that are cut smaller than the rest so they go unused languishing in the back of the drawer. Just fished out four pair of brand new panties and will bring to my friend who is sewing masks. Lots of elastic around the top and legs openings. She was psyched... laughing her head off but psyched.
If you know people who are working on these projects and searching for elastic pass it on. I've also heard of people cutting up elastic (Ace) bandages and cutting open bungie cords.
Bungie cords are full of elastic strands.Quote:

What's the Walla Walla equivalent of Felonious Spunk?
a friend of mine cut into a bungie for this very reason, apparently some are full of elastic strands but some are not, so you risk trashing a bungie for nothing.Quote:

I really enjoyed myself today, driving in my own truck, light traffic, choose whatever music fit the mood, had a decent lunch with me and good coffee.
It was -2 degrees when I started and got up to 27 near the end. Lots of fresh snow and mountains to admire, chatted with a couple of Superintendents for social outlet. saw some outrageous shit including a home that is just starting out of the ground and is covered by a huge fucking freestanding tent, like 200' x 200' and 30 feet tall. The concrete workers were amused that they could start laying out footings under the Big Top.
All in all it was a pretty good day.
Vibes to those of you stuck at home. I have to go back out tomorrow.
My wife has been making masks. There's a way to use hair ties. However folks here have gone old fashioned and are making them with strings to tie them on. I gave up a few white undershirts. They work well.
While I do admire your perversity, she clearly states that they are brand new. If you are that into panties, go to Target and buy some to wrap around your face.Quote:

I read that somewhere that poly fabrics don’t protect as well as cottonQuote:

Hope she doesn’t come down with it.

if you are worried about disease why go to a store that doesn’t give a fuck?Quote:

Thinking this could probably have it's own threadQuote:

Can also make masks with ribbon ties. Not as easy to wear, but still effective
Neighbor kid with a makerbot or some such laser cutter made some plastic size adjuster pieces so that the elastic masks can fit a whole range of head sizes
Strong work. Why cut them up? Just wear them as a stand-alone mask as indicated above.

Up until now, we have been fine with our TP reserve. We buy a lot of stuff in bulk and store in our pantry, etc.
I have been to the grocery store every 7-10 days the last month. Only once has there been any TP and we were limited to buying 4 rolls.
Doing the math, we are gonna be out before long and even if the store has some, my family of 4 can’t make it 7-10 days on 4 rolls.
Don’t really want to spend $500 on a bidet that warms the water...wife not too excited about handheld sprayer and doesn’t really want to have the serious discussion about what we should do.
Probably just gonna buy the sprayer Incase we got worse case scenario...

Is there not a big box store accessible? Target, Costco, Walmart?
My GF ordered TP online. I think from Amazon.
Closest box store is like 35 minutes away in Glenwood Springs...don’t ever go down there...but will probably drive there tomorrow as I need to drop off my chain saw to get repaired.
Amazon seems to only have “coreless” and even then, looks like deliveries are out in to June?
I ordered a handheld version as they are $50-$80. Have it just Incase if I can’t find anything in the city tomorrow.

It snowed a foot at my house today and I can’t ski.
I have a selection of garden implements you could cave my skull in with.
I recommend the pick axe, but you can go for the sledge or the 6 foot pry bar if you want. Maybe the 6 foot jack handle.
KQ... I humbly suggest that you try some better tortillas. The ones that come raw for you to cook (or just make some dough). 4 ingredients.Quote:

So your plan is to spray the shit off your ass and then air dry?Quote:

Rodriguez tortillas out of Caldwell, ID. Ready to eat or the kind you cook. Only tortillas we use unless making them.
It's so easy. Buy a press and some maseca and you'll never go back. Dirt cheap.Quote:

I asked my neighbor how he's doing, and he frowned and said, 'can't complain'.
Fuck I guess he's right, isn't he? Us too for the most part. Well, I'm gonna complain a little anyways.
