So how "locked in" are y'all being?  I still go into the office 3 times a week (no one else in my department or close to me), still need to go to grocery/WMT/Costco, get takeout occasionally, and have my mom/ daycare teacher come over to help with our 2 kids while we work. I don't think that is too crazy (and all within the shelter in place guidance), but some of you on here and other threads make it seem like you don't ever leave the house. Just curious.

Couple walks a day.  Wife makes a trip to the grocery store about once a week.  We were already home all day every day, so not much changed, really.

Cant go to my tobacconist, though.  That's pissing me off.

Stocked up on groceries two weeks ago, time to go back in the next couple of days. Went to the hardware store to get a couple items for a home project. Have done curbside restaurant pickup twice. Other than that, walking the dogs several times a day is about it.

I have daily/weekly tasks that I aim to get done. Basically doing all the shit I've put off for months/years.

Right now I'm gathering what is needed to hide all wires from my TVs and desk. Going the channel route because plaster walls.

Next is hang blinds, curtains, and touch up paint...but I need a ladder. I don't like having to constantly ask my super to use his.

I'm 6', ceilings are 9'.

I'm thinking a 4 step ladder will do the trick. Any recommendations? Height when folded can't be over 65" or it won't fit in my closet due to a shelf.

I originally wanted this because it's slim and looked decent, then read reviews that it's wobbly garbage.

Going through my cards and found this 1989 Griffey card I cut out of a Pocket Price Guide magazine. It was wedged in a pile of nothing cards....couldn’t believe it’s value lol, more impressively I can’t believe how well I cut it out because as a lefty....I can’t use scissors

That's odd because I've found it's easier to post pics from my phone.

Just got back from a two mile walk on one of our nearby Rails to Trails paths.

Aha!  I don’t use copy and paste, as I had that same situation happen to me. I now download the pic I want to my photos, then upload it to this server by clicking on the photo icon in the line at the top of the reply box.

I just tested and it didn't work for me either. I'll add that to the list of things to fix in the redesign.

Is it worth downloading? It's on the Xbox game pass subscription I'm currently doing a one month trial of.

Doom? Sure. It’s actually really difficult. I had to switch to the lowest difficulty. Ammo can be hard to find and you’ll just get bombarded with enemies that soak up bullets.

And it is now not working for me. I used it successfully as recently as yesterday.

Worked from my computer, but not from my phone. Weird.

Lifting, walking and catching up on some Netflix. Holy shit...when the phrase "you know when you drive past that car crash and you don't want to look at the carnage but you do out of morbid curiosity?" was created, it must have known Tiger King would eventually be televised.

Disagree. I could just turn on 20/20 to see that. Hype doesnt equal the quality. lol
