Eat one of these beauties and you're good to go for the rest of the day--maybe even a few days.

Yes! And what's with the sudden rush to buy guns?? I really don't understand the whole toilet paper and egg thing, either, as diarrhea is not a COVID symptom, and there appear to be as many eggs in our local markets as anyone could hope for. The Sam's Club/Costco thing is another mystery. Customers packing themselves together ("virus? what virus?") and swinging at each other over parking spaces. Fuck that.

I do see the irony in what you are saying, and your wife's schedule is completely ridiculous. You are correct, of course, that this is probably the worst shit show the world has experienced since the deadly flu epidemic in the early 1900s. As a public employee (I am a teacher), students are our customers, and the nearly nationwide shutdown of American schools has forced almost all of us to work from home, including the students. As you might imagine, I was very relieved when this happened. Being exposed daily to hundreds of juveniles who have not yet developed concern for their own health, not to mention the consequences of spreading disease to others, and are basically incapable of "seeing the big picture" is a recipe for health disasters. Gary, I don't disagree with any of what you say in this post. I was simply tacitly acknowledging the shitty situation we all find ourselves in and expressing my opinion of those who seem to be extra helpful in guiding us through this thing safely and sanely. I do wish we all could stay home, but of course this is not at all possible. All that's left is to do our level best to stay healthy and not take any unnecessary chances which may cause us to be exposed to this ugly scourge. If DeWine makes your blood boil, I can only imagine what Trump's ham-handed blundering in the face of this crisis must do to you. How ironic that we have probably the world's biggest narcissist in charge of the world's most powerful country filled with people who are starving for reassurance, truth, and a steady hand.

Tyler, this translates into a safe 70 mph-capable bike commuting to my rural teaching job. I have spent a shit load of money restoring this vintage 1971 bike, and it's still not done three years after I commissioned an expert in Detroit to do the build. It ain't no freakin' lawn mower *Bro* I don''t want or need a liter bike or a bloated cruiser. At 64 years old, I want to experience/enjoy the ride; not in a hurry to get anywhere anymore.

This will not change very soon, as health care has been monetized for a long time now. I doubt any politician will succeed in creating single payer healthcare in my lifetime, but this is the right thing for our country to do (I am 64, BTW.) As everyone knows, we are the only industrialized nation without universal health care; I find this embarrassing, personally, as an American. I am paying $1,200 per month for my and my wife's health insurance until I start taking Social Security, Medicare, and one of my two pensions this coming November. Both of us are very physically active, eat right, and get plenty of sleep--no medical issues. The key to getting efficient nationalized health care is to start taking care of ourselves so that there are few individuals whose illnesses tax the system.

All of this is for our benefit and safety; the state of Ohio has nothing to gain monetarily from inconveniencing its citizenry. It's pretty cool that we have competent politicians who have our best interests at heart. All bets are off at this point. We dropped off food at our local food bank, and there were several other people there doing the same thing. We are in survival mode for the next few months.

This is no time for gallows humor, Jim. And it will only put out 15 HP when it's done. Def not something you would be even remotely interested in. No room for a couch, billiards table, sauna, and fully appointed kitchen like the "Wing. Nice knowing you . . .

The local office is closed now--I'm fucked. Always suspected I might die during the corona thing; just not this way . . .

. . . and she sez she can dead-lift 300 pounds? I'm doomed if I can't pay.

Ho. Lee. Shit. A Kaw 300 just rolled into my driveway . . .

If she shows up with the aforementioned sammys, I will pay; however, at this juncture this appears to be highly unlikely. Wife has fired up the AirFryer and is making chicken wings as I write. Fire in the fireplace, vodka flowing, and Frank's Hot Sauce being liberally applied. Freaking delicious peasant food. " Sheltering in place with a smile on my face."

We were told by school administrators that any hand sanitizers which had a minimum of 62% alcohol were effective. The students were greasing themselves and each other with this stuff the entire week before school let out for spring break.

Au contraire--Jen was the one who sent the image to me, largely unsolicited. The delivery of the sammiches did not occurr, and no funds were exchanged. Thus, a bailment was not created.

Tonik? Response?

Wow. I know there will be books authored about this epic and unprecedented time period in American history after it's over. The response from the general public in the US reminds me of what happened here post-911: there are so many people offering to help others in so many ways. This is what America is all about. When a challenge arises, we show our true colors and take care of each other.

As you know, I can't ethically use the recipe until and unless you cite the online source and the date you accessed it. If you have questions, please visit the Purdue University Online Writing Lab https://www.google.com/search?q=purdue+owl&oq=purdue+owl&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3j69i65.

. . . but I'm still fucking hungry. And I really don't have five large to spend (teacher salary.)

My hunger, the fact that Jen is a very popular member here, and the visual appeal of the sammich image she apparently lifted from the Internet caused me to compromise my integrity. A simple citation from Jen would have prevented this breach of ethics, but now it's too late, and my wife and I remain hungry and terrified of leaving our home. I am, admittedly, complicit, but the majority of blame rests solely on Jen's shoulders. Plagiarism is a serious offense.

Oh. My. Gawd. I'd pay you $5,000 to deliver two of these to my house--RIGHT NOW.

A nice sammich would go well with a happy picture . . . 🥪

As far as I can tell, he hasn't posted on here for a long time. "His" thread was one I really enjoyed. Hope nothing has happened to him.

This is what is known in civilized societies as progress.

More evidence that weed is medicine in exactly the same sense that all other medications are medicine. If it works, it works. Pretending weed is somehow inherently evil is assinine--but it's also just a gratuitous assertion which can (and should) be equally as gratuitously denied. I'm thrilled this stuff is working for your SO. Another tool in the box for the medical profession.

"Give me unreasonably close proximity to the guy ahead of me in line, and give me death." FTFY.

The ultimate form of social distancing is death.
