Yes I’m gonna overuse the fuck out of it until I find something else to overuse the duck out of.  Would you prefer OK Mrs. Snowbunski?

Please don't overuse the duck. Cruelty to animals is a terrible thing.

[RidgeRacer]

What do ducks have to do with it?

Moving forward I should really read through before I pull the trigger on a post. But great minds and all that I guess.

are you going to start overusing ok karen now the same way you've driven ok boomer into the ground? people killed that meme way too fast for its potential.

covid related - country junction just forced my wife to get a temp check before entering.

The temp check is the new normal.  Is country junction even considered essential?

it's a tourist trap but yeah, they really do have almost everything you could imagine (the only thing that comes to mind is that they dont have deli).

tons of food. they also have an Ace hardware inside of it, so that essential component is there also.

Which Country Junction are you guys talking about? I thought most turned into just furniture stores?

I’ve never been. I know it burned down years ago and the owners sold an amazing house near Blue about a year ago.

Fun fact...most of the furniture at unclaimed freight is overstock from Ashley Furniture.

Probably not, but that has nothing to do with the current state of affairs.

Still pretty bad...a friend of a friend works in a dermatologist office and the boss isn’t providing the proper PPE and only one mask per day per employee.  Well now the two girls in the office got it.  We’ll be dealing with this for at least the rest of the year.

Are dermatologists considered essential?

I’m sure they are.  They do cancer screenings. The foot doctor across the street from my work has been open but with limited patients this whole time.

And yet my dentist is closed. I don't understand the kind of cherry picking that's going on with open and closed medical services.

Originally a lot of that decision was because of the nature of their work and how this virus is spread. Working in the mouths of people all day is a lot more likely to spread COVID than working on someone's foot, etc. They are open for emergency services, though. At least mine is. At this point I can't see why they wouldn't be able to open soon with other services starting to open back up.

It's based off naics codes. Not sure what dentist are. Or dermatologists.

Thanks for the awesome information. That makes a lot of sense. I was able to get in for an emergency appointment, but all my other ones are just pending at this point. Makes sense though.

Just what my dentist told me, so I don't know all the truth behind it but I feel like of all people he would know. I just talked to him yesterday since he called to cancel my cleaning for next Friday. I'll miss the feeling of perfectly clean teeth after that appointment, but I look forward to it again when he's able to open for prophylactic services in the future. Hopefully near future.
