who on Earth pays for porn? But I drove by a dirty book/video store the other day and there were cars there. I guess they can’t watch it at home? ---

Stress over losing income. Cabin Fever - two weeks of four walls. Nowhere to go. No sports to watch. Can’t go to the gym to burn off any frustration. Mix in a rainy day so the kids can’t even run around outside. Maybe a lack of decent options to eat &/or running low on TP. Sadly, but not too surprisingly, I predict the court dockets will be filled with DV/assault cases next month. ---

Surely you’ve seen the meme of the guy sitting on the sofa, looking around the female in sexy lingerie to watch someone ‘bat a slam dunk thru the goalposts’ (that’s two TVs, one with PiP. ;)) ---

My Y is open but not sure about other local gyms Probably not as crowded. Speaking of courts, NC courts are shutdown for a month. ---

We’re past that age, so no worries here. Son’s here at home instead of at college, so there’s nothing going on there (we know they’re being careful, since he was actually willing to tell us what methods they’re using). ---

I suspect that the birth of planned children will nosedive, because parents right now are going to be hesitant to conceive in these times.
