They've totally done what they've said, too. I mean, remember when everything opened back up on Easter Sunday? That was awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_shadows Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 On a much lighter note I could have used this stimulus money to significantly reduce my credit card balances but I decided to do my duty as an American and stimulate the economy by buying this instead... https://www.schecterguitars.com/bass/stiletto-extreme-5-lh-detail I'm doing my part 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're trying to ask for a bailout in order to give us hazard pay. Just talked to the deacon at my church who was a regional supervisor for years here and in Kansas City, and that is exactly what is occurring. No danger in shutting down, it's just political posturing. Also, not sure where a certain poster is getting their source from. I found an NBC News article saying that USPS will run out of cash in September quoted from the postmaster general. If that's not knowing how the sausage is made, I don't know what it. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/could-coronavirus-deal-fatal-blow-u-s-postal-service-n1183376 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwny Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 No idea what I’m going to buy with my stimulus check. Might keep it in savings and then use it to get another tattoo when all this is over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought a pair of sunglasses, a pair of shoes, some toys for the kids. Big job is to finish up the upstairs home gym - getting a TV to mount so we can Roku Les Mills On Demand, getting a few loose weights, getting some floor mats that can be wiped down. We have cardio equipment up there, so this will finish the room out. That'll make sure that nobody goes upstairs for a few months... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's gone almost 10 days without getting her mail, and I picked it up today and the box wasn't even full. Usually she has so much political mail and donation requests they give her a full basket. My mail, outside of baseball cards (from Topps and eBay/Twitter buys) is also way done. I'm the leader of our Knights of Columbus council, and just about every state level event is cancelled until further notice. Because a lot of members of the Knights are older and not technologically savvy, they send EVERYTHING through mail, and a lot of it is weighted because it's pages of stuff. Now that has all drawn to a close, and I am sure a lot of other groups, churches, etc are in the same boat. At work, my location is closed for now and all of the invoicing is stopped, so little mail. Volumes will pick up once things get rolling again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
