Around here Home Depot is open.   When people got the initial order that business were closed, many, many people headed to Home Depot to buy paint.

Home repair type places have to stay open because if your water heater dies, or something like that, it's "life essential" to be able to fix it.

Air pollution is down across the world.

It's the golden age of being a pet, every owner is forced to stay home with them haha.

I'm appreciating the life I had before #QuarantineLife began, that's for sure.

Also, we can all finally write our novels/screenplays too* hehe. I'm zero pages into mine, which is another positive... for the world.

Otherwise though, I've been pretty negative about this whole thing, so thanks for starting a thread that forced me to go the other direction for once 😃 

 

*well, a lot of us anyway.

All these professional musicians from across genres streaming from their homes, it is cool to see what their places look like.

Mayor in town hit by tornado today said the shelter in place saved lives as a shopping center was hit. I guess there is good news there, in a convoluted sort of way....

Not to mention all the folks on the news shows streaming from laptops in their homes.  Backgrounds can be pretty lame sometimes.  There's a lucrative business out there for someone to produce fake backdrops to hang on a wall.  The fireplace, the bookshelves, the wine cellar, the window view of a mountain or a golf course.  Views of oceans wouldn't work... needs wave action.

I don't have to get up at 5:45 in the morning to get to school.  We are doing Digital Learning Days and the governor has just stated that schools will be closed in Georgia until April 24th, and a former administrator, who has gotten into consulting, told me that the general consensus is that they will simply call it for the rest of the year.  I teach Georgia History, so it doesn't really spiral like Math or Language Arts, so it's not critical for my eighth graders to have as they enter high school.  Also, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, our high-stakes test - the Georgia Milestones - have been suspended for this year.

The COVID-19 outbreak has allowed me to spend a lot more time with my own children.

Nah. Just getting used to the software, so zooming with family.

I’m assuming that we’re allowed to turn the company/app name into a verb, like we did “to google something.”

Have at it.  The more verbs in the dictionary the better.

I think there is a lot more posting going on these days. Everyone updating golf in their area and responding to topics. I'd be curious if there are site stats to support that.

I learned how to cut my husband’s hair so he won’t have to pay someone else to do it anymore.

We are now more careful with food and enjoy every last bit of it.

I finally had time to organize the mess in my garage so we could move our extra car inside.

My husband and I both lost 3lbs since the beginning of this month...

This person playing golf on a farm in NZ. First time I've seen a ball hit off a pile of poop, fear not, it doesn't look too gross in the video. Warning, turn down volume or mute.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By jxdama ·

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.

      My Swing (Dobiwankenobi5)

      By DobiWanKenobi5 ·

      I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:

      The Films and Movies Thread

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      A local film critic gave the movie “Wicked” a great review. I saw the stage musical several years ago (pre-COVID) and enjoyed it. Likely won’t see the cinematic version but one never knows. I probably will go to “Gladiator 2” at some point unless the reviews are terrible.
