  1. Definitely feeling weird with how things are going right now. Looking forward to some more normalcy here hopefully soon. Its also been such a busy week, I feel out of the loop. Out of the life loop haha. I hope everyone is doing alright and taking care of themselves. Take this time to re-eval life Here's a creepy cat dog thing to add to this strange day.

  2. This is totally me too. I don't do debt either, including credit cards. (Well, I do because you basically have to use cards these days but I pay it ALL off every month.) I even managed to pay cash for my car this last time. Yes, it takes discipline and the willingness to go against a lot of social norms, but in the end not playing by the banksters rules is worth it.

  3. wow, my computer lagged.... "Banff Springs Hotel, room 873 — it’s allegedly been sealed off after renovations and hotel management have long denied that the hotel is haunted. Legend has it long ago, a family was brutally murdered in the room, but when the police investigation was finished, the room was redecorated and opened up to guests. That didn’t last long. People staying in room 873 have reported being woken up in the middle of the night to screams, flickering lights, and the sight of bloody hand prints on the walls and mirrors of the room." They do haunted tours there too. I touched the wall that is supposedly sealed over haha, also spoke to a manager who was walking by at the time, he said its a myth. There are other stories from that hotel though. Have you ever lost something so important to you, that you haven't been able to get over it?

  6. One positive that is coming out of this that I've noticed among friends & coworkers, is that those of us who still have an income coming in & getting more serious than ever about saving up. I listen to a lot of personal finance podcasts & such & have been working on improving my financial well being for a while now. I drive an older car that is completely paid off, I eat at home the majority of the time, & I could care less about dressing a certain way or having certain things to impress strangers. I've been laughed at & teased on more occasions than I care to remember but I'm glad I ignored those jerks & kept saving anyway because NO ONE is immune to losing their funds in situations like this. There are businesses in my city that have closed down recently that have been here for years & in some cases, decades. Then you've got all the people who don't have jobs where they can work from home so they're just out of a job all together. I just feel awful for them. Guys, just do the best you can to take care of yourselves, your loved ones, and your communities. Be well.

  7. That's really incredible of you! Take those proper precautions, gloves, sanitizing things that have been touched. I agree though, the feeling of dread really is becoming more palpable. I was discussing this with my mom the other day actually. Some people aren't taking the virus serious enough to monitor what they are cleaning, how they are handling themselves, are you blocking that cough? And then, you start to notice the numbers rise as the people start getting ill closer and closer to where you live, and then its there and you start to see transportation change, companies closing down, numbers rise...and it hits you that the chances of getting sick are higher. I was getting annoyed the other day because our debit/credit machine went down and my friend was using her phone with square to take payments and I told her multiple times to sanitize her phone before putting it to her ear to talk to people. People are just so bad at changing their habits. Its like working in a restaurant and remembering to put gloves on before you handle food. If you've never had such an occupation the first few days are going to involve a lot of mental faculties to put those gloves on...once you get more inclined it becomes second nature. Not enough thought over their actions. Like you, I am glad I have also emergency funds. I can't imagine families who are now out of work and have kids to take care of with no day cares and or family there to support them. Be safe friends

  8. Me and some of my coworkers have gotten together to come up with ways that we can provide help to our local homeless shelters. We've gathered what we can at local stores & are ordering the rest online to be delivered directly to the shelters in case we can't get out by the time they get shipped. Lots of people getting laid off in my city & it has me more than a bit concerned. There's just this persistent feeling of dread that just keeps getting heavier & heavier as the number of cases in my area grows. I'm just very thankful that I've really started taking my health seriously & have emergency savings because if I didn't there's almost no way that I would be this calm.

  9. Yes, I was coming home one evening after picking up some food & a woman ran into the back of my car. Luckily, neither of us got hurt & there was very little damage done to both vehicles. What is a scary urban legend from where you're from?

  10. Just had a meeting at work last Thursday mainly on the updates of the Corona Virus and at that specific time only the schools had the potential to be affected. However, steadily it's been getting worse and worse and the U.S. Government is now creating more restrictions and bans making it extremely difficult for most people to even continue working. Apparently the Governor in my state changed our restrictions and bans 15 times within a few short hours today. So far it hasn't effected my job to where I won't be able to work but most of those around me are now without work because everything is closing down. Supposedly there aren't any plans with my job shutting down but honestly, who knows anymore?? Could be tonight, could be tomorrow or it could be next week. So far though we aren't shut down which is a good thing but like I said, now we are all waiting for the when.

  12. I'll guess number three. @Nyxnine it actually is three. I have driven a car but not legally. the reason is mostly that I live in a city with public transport that is much faster than taking a car through traffic, so I never needed it. During my work in laboratories 1. I've purposely drunk a substance in the lab used for experiments 2. I've purposely sabotages someone else's experiment 3. I've lost my eyesight in one of my eyes in an accident

  16. I think everyone by now had heard of the virus . Staying at home is pretty boring , all i can pretty much do is , be on my computer , watching anime or youtube , reading or drawing . All of times are like eating , sleeping or doing work . It canceled a lot of things , like a trip that was supposed to be today for me . Just saying , everyone , Stay safe , and find something to do ,and very importantly . DON"t be with people who are sick !!

  17. Yeah, I think its a good opportunity to enjoy going outside, walking, hiking, solo activities. Learn a new hobby. Try not to let yourself get to down having to do less. It just forces you to look outside the box

  18. What ticks me off the most about this so called "panic" buying is that none of it is really out of "panic". If you're panicking in anticipation of an apocalypse then surely you'll go for whatever you can get your hands on. People are still choosy though. My local supermarket is completely sold out of milk chocolate biscuits, but the less popular dark chocolate ones are plentiful. All the expensive, highly quality cheeses have gone, but the cheaper ones are still in stock. It's nothing but pure greed. Hopefully they spend themselves into oblivion.

  20. Canada has gotten worse - mainly those who are being laid off from their companies because of the outbreak. Gold: Toilet paper, hand sanitizer Silver: Canned goods, water bottles, pre-packed meals People are self isolating, BC, AB and ON are the worst. The grocery stores have created person limits on certain items and are only allowing a certain amount of people in the store at a time. Most businesses have closed, all gov. places are closed, workout places and schools are closed. Some store/restaurants are open but at limited capacities. Borders are closed, states border is closing on Monday. It's being managed but its going to suck for businesses because social distancing is being pushed really hard. The company I am managing is focusing on delivering services so they can stay open. I won't lie, I am nervous about people being around me because I have older family. But, its more of a matter of washing my hands like crazy and not touching my hands. There are companies offering free food, and drop off services for food and necessities to affected families here. Making sure those who need the help will get it and not be abandoned. I think it is being handled well but, it is nerve wracking seeing the ghost cities. I hope everyone is still doing alright. This feed has had a decent amount teasing towards the virus and notes for fear for family members. What has anyone noticed as a community impact which is positive since covid arrived in your neighborhoods? Like I said, for me, food bank, some restaurants, optical clinics, pet stores, vets - are offering outside services, and door drop off delivery services, AND free food to those who are in need. Its nice to see the community come together well still distancing themselves.

  23. I also crush them up & sprinkle them over cakes & brownies right after I bring them out of the oven. I generally frost them with either melted candy bars or devil's food fudge pudding first & them top with the crushed cookies. I haven't made one of these treats in almost a year since I've been working on losing weight & being more active but believe you me, I am looking very much forward to making them again!
