Good on you for having boundaries and respecting them. I got rid of all of my social media accounts at the end of 2019. Deleted everything - Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, etc. it is a very refreshing way to live life, setting and keeping boundaries for online, whatever they may be.

Not judging , but I can barely deal with one of those in my house especially in these times !!

I predict both a spike in divorce and a spike in births in the next 9 months

I try to stay off the site at night, but I get updates about activity. I saw a lot of activity and was wondering if it was all negative posts. I was very happy to see these memes.

This is my favorite.

March Madness! Fill out your brackets.

I did read an amusing quote about it “Nice part is it’s been around a long time, so if things don’t go well, we know it won’t kill anyone,” Trump said. I mean that is a plus...

On a lighter, creepier note.....

Okay may last one...I stop after this one

God given is used as a way to define our rights as from a higher power than government. We don't get our rights from government, we're born with them. The Bill of Rights is actually a list of things the government can't do, not things the people can. I'm sure I'm butchering that explanation and while we're not perfect, that's the gist of why America is awesome.

I have a bunch of used/complete Lego sets from my personal collection and I've been mailing them out to my friends across the country to let them and their kids build/play. Just on loan as most of my sets are big $200+ sets. So far I've sent out Bugatti, Big Roller Coaster, Fairground Mixer and Sea Cow.

LOL...I just run out of gas at night after trying to tackle all these new issues on a daily basis. It was hard enough to run my business and family life before, but now I miss those days. I find myself watching TV and reading Twitter less and less. There are just too many people with agendas spewing fear and looking to profit off of this. Yeah, this is uncharted territory and will get worse, but the world will overcome and the best and the brightest among us are attacking this with a passion never seen before.

Ok. When you said address changed to Alabama, I thought this was potential scam, thus my answer. I assume the address is a PO Box then? Fedex does not ship to PO Box

This is what I would do: 1. Take a screenshot of the error for your documentation. DO NOT change the address at any circumstances, not for $380 order 2. Cancel the order and select "problem with address". You will lose Paypal fee on this 3. Here is the tricky part. If you think this was an honest mistake, you can message buyer and ask them to reorder with correct address. Or, you can block them and move on

I agree that's a tough age. There's only so much coloring one can do, and they are a bit too young to be completely self directed. When my kids were that age, sometimes I'd pull out a big shipping box and they'd turn it into a robot or kitchen or police-car or something, by cutting and coloring and pasting stuff to the sides. "Magic shows" were big back then too---sometimes with hilarious results.

How old are your kids? We've home schooled for 6 years, so this is just another spring for us (minus the social/sports calendar). Many of the home-school support groups and publishers are offering free stuff galore. Just need to tap into it. For example there are some literature reviews available from Kolbe here for grades 3-12.

I think I just read San Fran ordered pot shops to remain open as essential services.😏

If that’s your takeaway then the problem is even bigger than we thought.

So basically you were just rambling and stating no actual fact other then just personal feelings about a country and people you seem to know little about???? Got it😆

God given? It wasn’t even in the original constitution but was an amendment! Your insanely high gun death rate compared to every country on Earth is exactly why government should be telling you how to control it, like any other health matter. Most criminals acquired their guns legally. They pull guns on each other. They were law abiding until the moment they pulled the gun. Stolen guns commonly come from “law-abiding” homes. It happens. All the time

The issue is every one's parents or grandparents are within the at-risk demographics. The fact is the majority of the population do care about their parents and their grandparents and want them alive rather than dead.

If only it was that simple. There are a combination of factors currently at play in Italy, age is only one of them. For anyone else who read the article and still not convinced, We as a country should be most concerned with these conclusions, which I found very interesting with our current obesity/diabetes rates. ‘Some 76.1 percent of the patients who died of Covid-19 previously had problems with high arterial blood pressure, the study found. More than a third - 35.5 per cent - had diabetes, while 33.0 per cent had suffered from ischemic heart disease. Scientist have not yes established why people with high blood pressure are more vulnerable to Coronavirus’ This should be of concern knowing our country’s high obesity & diabetes rates. I keep having a bad feeling Florida is the slowest to react and are just waiting to repeat Italy. there are still people on vacation fishing in the Everglades. Think about where they will lie on the response curve.

Let's hope it is effective. It's amazing the red tape and bureaucracy out there...like the N95 masks for example. Companies didn't want to make them for fear of lawsuits because they were being used for medical purposes. It wasn't until the Feds said they would insure the masks that they are moving ahead with production.

First case was reported Jan 20th. Once again you're looking at this through the lens of hindsight being 20/20.

So nobody is going to post that Trump asked FDA to remove red tapes around clinical trials for drug called Hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19? This is a good news !

Believe it or not, Kmart.com still exists in 2020. They are down to ~60 different LEGO sets in stock. I received an email today giving me $15 on a $100 purchase, plus there is a $10 back on $40 promo. Some sets have long since retired. Minecraft 21136 Ocean Monument is going for close to $200 FBA right now, and can be had for ~$110 after shipping, tax and freecash (before any points you might have), with $11 back in points. Not a lot of margin yet, but if you have more points to burn this might be of interest. No guarantees on the condition of the set once it arrives - haven't ordered from them in almost a year (since they closed all their stores in a 100 mile radius from me).

have you tried going via Paypal to ship (assuming this was paid through Paypal)? Or just doing www.paypal.com/shipnow and manually enter the address?

Ask the buyer? Tell them what you’re seeing and let’s see what their response is. Let them know that you won’t send it unless the address is verified.

I finally got to see the movie after all this time (for various reasons) and I really enjoyed it. That is all.

Almost 5 and 3 year old girls. They don't know about YouTube yet, or at least they don't request to watch it, so thats a challenge we are dealing with, knowing that some people are live streaming classes/activities. Otherwise, we have been printing tracing sheets for letters and numbers for them to use, doing various crafts and activities around the home. But those ideas are running in short supply. They did both create a DOTS bracelet this morning, which was nice.

This doesn't make sense. Can you clarify?

Lol....inlaws.....I'm not in Utah.

You watch too many movies. Our second amendment right creates a situation where this God given right is honored and respected with most if bot every single gun owner I know, which is a lot has the highest priority and training in use and storage. We don't need government to tell us Other than stopping criminal activity to your own person, family or others normal law abiding Americans don't pull guns on each other. It just doesnt happen. Criminals don't care about rights, don't respect any law and are out to cause destruction.

I see this argument a lot and it drives me nuts due to the math. covid-19 is a 1:1 equation. Get infected, have a percentage chance of death. Auto accidents - you don't calculate against number of people, you have to calculate against number of TRIPS since you essentially bear the risk each time you drive. So this number is going to be way more miniscule in comparison. Alcohol and smoking are cumulative so I think different altogether. I don't disagree that as a society we've sort of accepted these as bearable risks even though we know the numbers. And yeah, kids lives are being upended because they can be carriers, not because they might die from it.

Here's what I don't get in regards to how drastic of measures are being taken for such a small risk to 99% of the population. Worldwide there are roughly: 1.3million deaths a year to auto accidents 1.8millions deaths a year to alcohol 6million deaths a year to smoking Yet these numbers are for the most part completely acceptable because god forbid we take away somebodies luxuries for the sake of 9million deaths a year. These things however don't discriminate against certain age groups or illnesses. My 4 kids are a million times more likely to get killed by a car or second hand smoke then the Coronavirus yet their lives are being upended because of it.

I agree with this. Either go big or go home. People will not stay locked in their homes for months. It just will not happen unless zombies are walking the streets. This has to run its course. People have to get sick and recover. These social distancing measure will help keep the hospitals from exploding in patients, but there will be bad situations in many hot spots. We have removed many features in my business where people get out of their cars or can infect others. We are drive thru everything right now. We are shrinking our employees on location at any one time. We will lose efficiency, but I am hoping it will help. We will lose money for sure, but at least we are trying to help and running. Under most circumstances, people will not get infected in a large retail store unless forced to wait on line. Case in point. Home Depot is only letting 50 people in a store at any one time. Home Depot? Have you seen the size of a typical Home Depot? They are lining people up outside and letting people go in as they come out. There is more of a chance passing the virus on line than in the store. This is a policy that needs modification.

Amazon royally screwed up by banning or restricting over a million 3rd party sellers for price gouging, which they failed to define, and now want to prioritize shipments to restock tpee, hand sanitizer, and masks. Well, the people with current stock are those sellers and they no longer have access to the marketplace to sell, so no name companies from China park listings for products with four to six week ship times.

Decepticon Octane by Alex Jones

The current age designation of the greatest skill level required is 16+. These new Star Wars bust sets do require an additional 2 years of training in the Lego arts in order to master the build.

I like it but can definitely see what you mean about the skin. My son got 75248 Resistance Awing for Christmas. He’s not much of a Star Wars guy tho, and I got tired of seeing it partly built so I finished it today.
