  - Oh yeah, we had fried chicken one day. It is one of the few foods I love enough that I do not know when I am full. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 8, 08:03 1
    - I wanted fried chicken but I can't eat it. :-( I went with those little chicken sandwiches they make. They drown it in hot sauce so I'm happy. - Krusty Sep 8, 08:09

- forgot to eat on Saturday and ended up having an entire pan of apple crisp. it's been a bad weekend for remembering food. -- nm - colin Sep 8, 07:59
- I remember there was pizza, hamburgers and corn on the cob involved. But I seriously do not recall much beyond that. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 8, 07:58 3
  - Apparently beer as well. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 08:00 2
    - Actually, no. Oh, and donuts. -- (edited) - Wakanda Forever Sep 8, 08:01 1
      - I'm impressed you eat fish. My whole family hates it. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 08:08
- Wawa Italian hoagie Saturday night. Made Kung Pao chicken Sunday. I also made blueberry pancakes yesterday for breakfast - decline Sep 8, 07:58

Youngest started high school today. They've split the students in half with split days with A-L going MWF/TT and M-Z going TT/MWF. - Beaker Sep 8, 07:42 2
- Interesting. Here it is M/Th or Tu/F with W elearning for all. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 8, 07:43 1

Tenet $20.2M Estimate Breakdown - $4M CAN, $3.3 US previews, $10.9M 3-day, $2M Mon -- (edited) - budice Sep 8, 07:21 8
- I'll take the under. and it will be interesting to compare this BO to whatever info Disney releases that Mulan did -- (edited) - Beaker Sep 8, 07:44
- And that should kill any near-term blockbusters from coming out. Anything with 200mil invested is just asking for a 9-figure loss. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 8, 07:31 6
  - Maybe we’ll regress to the before before times when things stayed in theatres for six months. -- nm - mafic Sep 8, 07:59 3
    - Before VHS? -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 08:00 2
      - You merely adopted Betamax. I was born to it. Moulded by it. I didn’t see VHS until I was already a man. -- nm - mafic Sep 8, 08:08 1
        
        Why does this sound like a movie monologue? -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 08:11
  - The time has come for simultaneous releases. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 8, 07:35 1
    - Pfft. That'll be the day. -- nm - Women Sep 8, 07:50
I need an ST Sanity Check: are my COVID protocols excessive or is my limited group just acting irresponsibly? - colin Sep 8, 07:20 38
- I'm always glad to see these types of posts - because people on ST are doing the right things - and STrs are in the middle of groups/lives NOT doing - Epiphany -Puppers Beer Connoisseur Sep 8, 08:00 1
  - thanks for that.. yeah, we're part of a small group that is just not doing anything any more and its good to have perspective. -- nm - colin Sep 8, 08:03
- I live alone so can't compare. No one enters my place except maintenance when I'm out. The no-mask folks in your circle are insane. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 07:53
- We have a JCPennys going out of business which I have entered twice. I feel quite dirty, but I am probably going again today as they have hit 70% off. -- (edited) - Wakanda Forever Sep 8, 07:48
- I don't get the 3 day quarantining/bleaching of foods & goods thing -- nm - mud Sep 8, 07:46 4
  - just in case there was a spreader in the store. virus can live on surfaces for a bit. also, i think we're just of the mind that stuff sitting out at - colin Sep 8, 08:02 3
    - If I was going to worry about that, I'd get a UV wand. Nothing lives through UV. -- nm - Reagen Sep 8, 08:06
    - Keep doing what you're comfortable with. I've seen enough information that spread via contact on items is minimal so I've grown comfortable with that -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 08:03
    - I think I read Fauci say he lets stuff he brought in sit for 24 hours -- nm - ty97 Sep 8, 08:03
- I've been riding the bus lately. I don't have to, but I just want to go around the city and not feel so locked into my area. - ty97 Sep 8, 07:37 6
  - if everybody wore a mask, i'd be way more okay with "normal" activities.. but we're a very conservative area, a lot of trump signs and aggressively - colin Sep 8, 08:06 3
    - Universal masks in April and this whole business is long over. -- nm - Reagen Sep 8, 08:07 2
      - This. Shutting down for 30 days and masks for everyone would have likely got us back to mostly normal by now. -- nm - Krusty Sep 8, 08:15
      - right? we could be DONE by now, but instead it's the same old. -- nm - colin Sep 8, 08:10
  - This. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 07:52
  - " don't negotiate what you are comfortable with. " this 100% -- nm - Epiphany -Puppers Beer Connoisseur Sep 8, 07:51
- I'll contrast you with my own experience - oblique Sep 8, 07:35
- you're doing about what I'd be doing if I were in America. -- nm - mafic Sep 8, 07:29
- More people need to act like you are. -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 07:24 6
  - I agree. (We should as well, but I recognize we are a little lax.) -- nm - JaxSean Sep 8, 07:28 3
    - although I think it also depends on where you are and the positivity rate for your area -- nm - decline Sep 8, 07:30 2
      - Where is Jax again? -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 07:52 1
        
        Ground zero. -- nm - Wakanda Forever Sep 8, 08:11

  - thank you. -- nm - colin Sep 8, 07:25
- This is just as much about mental health as physical health. If it makes you feel better/safer, do whatever you need to do. - Volnelk Sep 8, 07:23 12
  - I totally agree. I'm not wiping down my groceries with bleach and am willing to pee inside at like gas stations and will totally go to like, lowe's - amanda Sep 8, 07:46 8
    - and it is a balancing act of what's statistically likely to get you sick.. i'm less likely to get it from random brief interactions than large groups - colin Sep 8, 08:04
    - I was willing to pee at gas stations until the CG medical chief says she doesn't. It's a tiny enclosed public space. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 07:54
    - I'm basically the same as you. I stopped wiping everything down a few weeks ago but I continue to wash my hands very often. The only stores I go to - Krusty Sep 8, 07:50 4
      - yeah, only food stores for us. i know the wiping may be excessive, but it's just become habit. -- nm - colin Sep 8, 08:00 3
        
        I did it from March until a few weeks ago. Things are really good here and I'd read enough reports about it not living long or being much of a concern - Krusty Sep 8, 08:08
        
        it certainly isn't hurting anything. -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 08:05 1
        
        Yup -- nm - Krusty Sep 8, 08:13
    - I don't wipe anything down. I wash my hands after handling. I am seeing a couple friends outside this week. Their kids go back to school - Andie Sep 8, 07:49
  - For sure. My wife and I were out walking (no masks) last night. A group of about 10 HS/college aged kids were messing around in the street between two houses ( -- (edited) - oblique Sep 8, 07:39 1
    - I feel very lucky that people seem to be very good about it where I live. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 07:58
  - that's what we talked about.. this is how i feel okay and safe. i REALLY don't want to get COVID and we both WFH, so why not. -- nm - colin Sep 8, 07:25

    - Columbus has that affect on people. 😄 -- nm - TWuG Sep 8, 07:19
  - Could be. Obviously, don't assume so. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 07:15 2
    - I'd want an antibody test before I relied on that theory. - TWuG Sep 8, 07:18 1
      - They can't tell you whether you caught it, or were just exposed. In other words it can't tell you whether you have immunity. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 07:59
- I have two guys on my team out awaiting testing. One got his negative last night. Still waiting on the other. -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 07:12
