Lockdown

Well......from the end of Sept until about mid April anyways you could always do what I always do....and hibernate.

"Hibernation" does have it's advantages, but it also has that one big disadvantage, the "boss lady" has ALL kinds of time to think up "new and exciting" things to throw on those early spring "honey do" lists. :nailbiting::banghead::ROFLMAO:

hibernation would be nice aslong as when I woke up this whole covid bs was just a. Nightmare!
I imagine honey do lists still require soemthing from the hardware store
I don’t even want to mess with this curb side pick up non sense

Amazon is killing our small businesses. I only use it for things I can`t get in my town, or that I`d have to drive hours to buy,

Local small business gets a :poop: load of my after tax $$$ and will continue to do so in the future.

I don't do lines, and I don't take, "No we don't have any in stock, we don't know if we'll get any next shipment, and no I can't order you one either" as acceptable.

What, when, and why I buy what I do on Amazon is without guilt. If you can't get me what I want, when I require it, you don't have my business.

FYI amazon warehouse in Toronto has a 400 person breakout. Disinfect those packages and be ready for a slow down in delivery. I’m getting delivery estimates into mid Jan now.
on the other hand buying from the EU atm is surprisingly inexpensive and 5 day shipping .... mean while I’ve got 2 packages from the states In the wind via usps since mid November.

Amazon isn't alone in this.

The Wife and I ordered new glasses from a, wait for it "LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS". Got a call a few days back, "Your glasses are delayed at least two weeks, the lab has a COVID outbreak.

You think none of our food hasn't had someone with COVID snot on it? With the number of infections in processing plants, anything is possible.

Gee, I hope my supply of fish makes it to vaccine distribution, I know its processing history.

I guess smaller bites and more chewing is the way to go.

For me Amazon has replaced Wal-Mart. Not a single tear shed.

Whatever makes you happy. I’ve been able to source plenty of things locally without much in the way of supply problems, and only resorted to amazon for a few items. While my Wife still likes the Walmart, we have cut down our purchase substantially in the last couple of years/. I don’t want to see the day when everything we own comes from Walmart, amazon and (insert giant retailer here). Me, I’d like to keep my options open so I try and buy from the local businesses when possible. I don’t need to squeeze every nickel out of a deal. Your mileage may vary, Merry Christmas!

LOL I do that now, but at the beginning I was disinfecting anything with smooth glossy or hard surface that was to go into the house. Had a disinfection station setup in the garage... I may die of disinfectant but we didn't catch the WuFlu!
