My life really hasn't changed that much since Judy retired almost 3
years ago. I seldom get 3 miles from the house, usually going over to
the FILs for something and she never goes anywhere but out on the
boat. Other than that 99% of my "going" is to a little shopping center
a mile and a half away with Ace, Publix and the pool store. I pass a
Walmart on the way but I am not sticking my head in that mad house any
time soon.
Ace will pull what you need and set it on the curb for you, pay
online. The pool store is the same way but those boys are soaked in
chlorine all day. I doubt much would live in there anyway. My only
real exposure is Publix and I am careful there, not touching much, not
touching my face, hosing myself down with disinfectant as soon as I
get back to the car. They have a person right inside the door wiping
down carts with bleach. I bet those babies rust up before this is all
over. ;-)

With the freezer, we've not had to go out much. Today I have to pick up a
prescription at Walgreens and will use the poop bag trick. Although, they may
bring it to the car.

I am dealing with that just by washing my hands after I handle the
packages and throw away the packaging. In the car I use my sanitizer
liberally. Things like my ramp keys are getting a bath in denatured
alcohol as soon as I get them. They can use a good scrubbing anyway.

The poop bag trick worked well. Looked weird, but I was able to hold a pen and
put my initials on the credit gizmo (wonder what those are called - sensors?).

We don't sign anything now. Just stick your card in and go. Ace and
the pool store will take the order online and you pay then.
They are really trying to be safe and stay open.

Seems like all the machines are different. Some require a signature (or
something) before they'll go to the next step. I'm sure you guys are way beyond
that.


We stopped signing credit card transactions a year or two ago and some
places before that. The reality is the transaction is done as soon as
it gets the total and it has your card number/chip ID. At publix you
can put your card in as soon as the first item rings up and it
processes as soon as the cashier hits total. I don't even wait for the
receipt most of the time. As soon as the printer starts, the
transaction has gone through.
ABC Liquors gives you the option of no receipt. (no signature and you
can run the card while they are ringing you up.


Why worry...your leader said about a month or so ago that the USA only had
15 cases and that number would go down soon...

The information posted yesterday could be outdated today. What is your
point? Come on say something smart for a change so I can report back to
Luddite that there is a glimmer of hope that you are on the mend.
