  1. I live in Fort Worth, TX. A tornado took out my front tree not long ago and I just had the stump ground down. Is now the time for me to put down sod? I have bermuda in the rest of the lawn. Or is it better for me to wait till the fall? There's a big patch of dirt now. I am not sure if the tree will start sprouting unless I kill it some more with vinegar? I'm also going to address soil compaction issues by first using a hand held core aerator. Any suggestions on any products I should use to condition the soil after that? Thanks!

  2. Sad to read that it also could have been avoided if she didn't escalate it by brake checking him and continuing to antagonize what you're seeing is another road raged person. Sounds like she had a little bit of road rage in her as well. There's too many instances of this happening in DFW. I just laugh it off and wave at people if they get pissed at me and try to play these games with me. Obviously i'm not blaming her, yet it seems she could have avoided it.

  3. I started jogging 5k's again to destress and lose some weight. I'm naming my runs Corona Run 1, 2 3 .. I'm on 6. Going to see how high I can get and how much weight I can lose while we're all home. The main thing still stressing me is my graduate school research paper is still due in 3 weeks and I haven't started. It requires an oral presentation to the rest of the class over the web. Don't want to sound like a dumbass. Little time to prepare.

    We haven’t been out in a few weeks but we struggle with the thought that “Dylan” the delivery dude who makes $10 an hour and plays video games with his buds when he gets home while taking a few hits on the community bong, and who coughs all over the groceries, is practicing appropriate hand washing and other healthy practices.

    So instead, we know that if we stay as far away as possible from other people while picking up groceries, we might actually have a lower probability of catching something.

     

    When you go pick them up yourself you're still exposing yourself to touching the cart even if you cleaned it, every box or piece of food when you put it in the cart, the card reader etc etc not to mention stockers are also touching every piece. Then you might be passing by some area where someone might have recently coughed. Or vice versa you could be the one doing it to others. I prefer ordering them for pickup at kroger. When I arrive I sanitize what makes sense in the garage, let whatever can sit there for a day, and then wash the fruits and veggies in the sink. 

  5. Saving a grand a month in day care. Who knows how much we're saving from not eating out. My wife was getting in a mode of asking me to bring fast food for dinner every other day so it was adding up. I'm working from home so saving gas from a 45 minute commute each way. Keeping her away from Target is probably making a dent as well. 


    The only time I've gotten fast food since we started self isolating a few weeks ago was a week ago purchasing 10 chicken sandwiches from Chick-fil-a and freezing most of them. My son is addicted to them so it's real easy to pop one out and quick defrost it in 3 minutes and it tastes just like it would fresh. They lasted a week. 

     

    Not savings related but I've lost 11 lbs since I'm taking this opportunity to try and eat healthier to both use up less of our groceries and most importantly to lose some weight. I started jogging again every other day to help with that and to keep me somewhat sane. I REALLY miss my weekly basketball games with coworkers and friends.

     Macy's Inc said on Monday it would furlough most of its 130,000-strong workforce starting this week as all stores of the department chain operator have been temporarily shut due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    So they're keeping their office and online folks on, right?  Regardless, Macy's ain't coming back.  You gotta wonder how many of their stores will reopen at all.

    Forget Macy's, what about Sears?! Surely this is the last straw.

    So I was able to determine Big Nancy lives 7 minutes from my house albeit in a different neighborhood. And her FB page and her FB Group page for her Nails business are deleted.

    According to some property records I found online, she lives with someone named Margarito Helton. This is what the internet turned up on him:

    You might want to forward this info to his employer. What if he's still going to work?

    I feel a little disingenuous laughing at those stupid fucks.   Young Loco probably would be out there too, trying to hook up with a girl with a room or sleeping in/on the car.  God I was/am an idiot.

    I guess there is a certain element of the world is ending lets just all bang before we die to this..

     

    Edit: Wife still won't let me hit.

    The guy giving commentary on that website is an assistant professor in history at some bumfuck institution called "Dixie State Univeristy". I don't give a shit what his thoughts on covid are and neither should anyone else. At least post a better source if you're going to continue fear-mongering. 

     

     

     

     

    It was based on an analysis by Imperial College London. Are you saying you don't find that credible? All he did was state the facts and added some historical perspective.
