There were only 3 players on the bench and we were spaced out, but I still didn't like it. With only 3 extra skaters players come off the ice totally gassed and breathing heavy...but they can practice "hockey distancing" once they get to the bench. However once you start to play regulation hockey w...

It sounds like you think they are people with the antibodies. This is just people giving blood.
I thought we were talking about people who had antibodies and were there specifically to donate plasma

If you donate blood now, the Red Cross will test for antibodies.

I just don't see it happening until there's a vaccine. Hopefully they come up with vaccines sooner rather than later.

Yea--it's been like that. They are doing fewer people at each drive so they are filling up faster. I signed up 3-4 weeks ago.
Why FEWER people?

They're spreading the donors out in the room so there not close together.

I'm pretty sure I've contracted this lovely virus. When combined with my asthma it has been absolutely fricking miserable. Not sure where I picked it up or how.

I just went to the skin doctor at a large clinic. They have a security person meet you at the door to ensure everyone is wearing a mask, and then they escort you to the proper elevator.

With one TV in the house and maybe four channels the only thing worse than little turds on the prairie was the Donny and Marie Show.

Must have been nice to have four channels. I grew up with one-- KEYC Mankato. I knew nothing of any shows that were not on CBS.

When my kids were young they watched Little House reruns ad nauseam. I couldn't get past Charles Ingalls' hair. He lived on a farm in 1880, probably had a bath once a month, yet his hair always looked like he just came from the beauty salon.

A friend got a haircut 9 days ago. 5 days later the barber tested positive for Covid (small town where everybody knows everybody.)

The runner on 2B ("international rule") is dumb as F for a professional sport. It is used to help games get over if there is a time limit. With the expanded rosters, especially early on, I have a hard time saying that it is for anything other than getting games over faster. Like 3v3 OT. Except a wi...

I've got a baseball coach acquaintance that says he's got a D1 bat for baseball if he wanted to pursue it -- don't see many like him any more.
So, is he Barry Wohler good or Dave Winfield good?

He's better than either of them. He plays hockey. :

I don't think it would as he replaced his dad but did not join along with his dad.

You're right. I didn't read the Q close enough.

At the rate things are going, we might want to bump up that family vacation to Mt. Rushmore we keep putting off. It may not exist next summer. More true than you realize.

Is there a good website to find out how much rain we received last night. A quick google search will provide plenty that will give current weather or forecasts but not much for recent history.

If this is ban-worthy, I accept the rule of law here as I accept it in my adopted home of Minnesota.

When did gas cans get so complicated?

I posted about the cans here about 2 years ago. Mine takes three hands to run. I end up taking the spout off and just using a funnel.

I feel like it's common to only use that title when the person is acting/being referred to in the context of being a doctor. I think MDs use it both professionally and in everyday. But PhDs only use it professionally. A long time ago I worked as a bridal consultant, wording on invitations was alway...

We've had a Baltimore Oriole (the bird, not a baseball player) visit the house twice in the last week.

They love ...

How do they even find a jury of folks who don’t know about this case and already have bias?

My wife just made a strawberry rhubarb crisp. YUM!

The My Pillow Guy is driving me nuts. No matter what channel I put on, he's there.

Only a few days ago we were told what a warm week this would be. Could touch 90 on Thursday.
Today I was mowing. Had to switch to a heavier jacket.

Who's not on board with getting older? 17 year olds that accelerated HS haven't been leading us to the promised land.

Just got a nice haircut from my wife. She went to a beautician school after HS. Coming in handy now.
She only worked in the business for a year. Too much complaining. Old ladies would come in and say "Make me look like Farrah Fawcett."

Newspaper, TV, Internet.

With so many county fairs already called off, I think the State Fair is a foregone conclusion.

Schlossman has an article on Forum News Service but I can't link it. Says Holy Cross has cancelled their trip to ASU to open the season. And BC and Northeastern expect St Cloud to cancel their trip to Boston.

I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see this season happening. Even if they play without fans, the players have to be in contact. And team travel to away games seems like a problem.
