    Speaking from experience, that cold water bedit is a different level of pain.

    FYI, if you are looking into flying anywhere this year, plane tickets are dirt cheap right now. I bought 5 round trip tickets for my family and I to fly to parents house in Canada in June. Tickets were $270/person round trip. Tickets haven't been the cheap in 15 years for that flight. This Corona virus needs to remain a thing for a couple more years, its going to be great travel prices if you are not a panic-ridden fool.

    now that's a rant.
    I have one PW that's mandated at 16 characters long, at least 1 upper/1 lower alpha, 1 numerical, no repeating characters, no English-language words, can't use last 12 iterations, -MUST- be changed every 90 days, and oh by the way it's against policy to write down the PW. It's insane.

    So what did I (and all of us) do? Typed it out on notepad and took a pic on my phone. That's safe. I never lose that.

    That sounds suspicious - did she have a will that could've included other family members?

    Driving from Lansing to the Detroit airport, I usually set the cruise at 8-9 mph over the speed limit. Holy **** there were a few times I was in the left to pass and had to be going 90 to get the hell out of the way. They drive like it's a race.

    So all the college athletes complaining about their college careers ending without closure or getting to compete and they are all devastated. They have no appreciation of the luxury they have. Back in the day even professional athletes put down their equipment and went and fought a war, I shudder to think what would happen in our nation if we have to respond to an all in event like WW3.

    Hmm. first thing the college students at MSU did when classes were cancelled is pack the bars. Waiting lines to get in.

    I wish the traffic lights would disable the phones in the first car in line. I miss 20 second lights because person in the car is on their darn phone and doesnt move for 17 seconds!

    I now get to work from home for at least the next month. Glad the company actually took action.

    Yep, I was thinking the same exact thing.... Time to empty out that cabinet of sterling silverware that gets used once every decade or so.

    Holy hell, grocery stores are turning into Black Friday Wal-Marts.

    I'm not leaving the house other than work.
