Things you are NOT going to do when we "open up?"

[tulipsandroses]

Please feel free to add to the list

Try on clothes at a clothing store

Get a mani/pedi

Go to an Air BnB

Take my niece to Skyline or any other indoor park

[MissB]

1. I won't be doing anything different than I am now.

Not for months after things open up, and I’m in a state with a good governor that has made a pact with a bunch of surrounding states.

I see no reason to suddenly go shopping. I’m going to continue my once a week curbside pickup for all goods.

I’d be happy to give it a couple of months to see if CV19 cases spike again.

I have plenty of plans for when things open up and I feel confident that there is less risk. I just don’t see that happening for at least a year.

[Skittles]

2. I'll still get takeout from restaurants

I do tip the person who brings me the food.

[Funtatlaguy]

3. Attend my monthly orgy. Oh, who am I kidding. 🤗

[TeamPooka]

8. Monthly? You stallion.

[Stallion]

10. Hey I'm Stallion!!!

...and unfortunately won't be doing much Country Western swing dancing in the near future--

[Beakybird]

9. I think you're ok if you wear a mask.

[Funtatlaguy]

15. Actually, some of my regular crew will look better with 😷 or

Even full paper bags.

[Raine]

4. No crowds of any kind

anywhere. Probably not change much of anything about what I've been doing or not doing for a long long time.

[onecaliberal]

5. Same thing I'm doing now except I will most likely be going to my office.

[GulfCoast66]

6. Put all my savings in untouchable accounts!

Assuming the wife and I both get called back to our jobs we make very good money. Not quite executive good. But good. Now we are not working and have no clue when we will be called back.

We are great savers. But the problem is all of our savings are in Roth IRAs or 401k. We are ok thru July, but then I will have to find a way to make an income. Which when you have both been with the same company for well over 30 years is not easy. We will manage better than most. But this is hurting all Americans.

To answer your question as I think you intended. We will eat out way less. I’m a very good cook. Even my wife agrees and she is not the doting kind! I didn’t Marry to pump my ego! I fell for her because she is way smarter than me.

I’ve spent the last several weeks making tons of homemade stock and working on sauces. Relearning my lessons of childhood in Louisiana in making cheap food taste like gourmet fare. Today we went fishing and caught nothing but what would be considered trash fish to today’s tastes. A month ago I would have throw them back. But we turned it into a southern french style fish stew that was delicious. I’m not the only one. Americans are relearning how to cook. And that may not be great for restaurants but is good for America.

Stay safe. And take care.

[LuckyCharms]

7. Have sex.

Not even with myself.

[mr_lebowski]

11. Share needles (nt)

[maxsolomon]

29. There was (is?) a drag queen in Seattle

name Sharon Needles. I found that name hilarious.

[marlakay]

12. They can open up but for as long as I can hold out

I am going to mostly stay home.

Mostly I want to visit my adult kids and mom.

[Captain Zero]

13. go to dentist, hell no

fly, go thrift store shopping, go to a dive bar.

[hlthe2b]

19. Yes. To the suffering dentists and staff, I'm sorry. I'v never brushed/flossed more in my life

because I live in fear of doing so. Unsafe on either side of the equation.

[PCIntern]

30. Good going!

I would also suggest brand-name Listerine rinsing twice a day for a minute or so

Yes...rinsing, not mainlining.

[smirkymonkey]

14. Not much different from what I am doing now except maybe occasionally go in

to the office or a grocery store.

[KT2000]

16. Go to the next town

where almost no one is even wearing masks.
crowds - a big no
I'll probably just stay at home

[hlthe2b]

20. I already think twice about entering any store where the majority of staff are not masked.

If they don't care enough to protect their customers by enforcing this of their staff, why would I believe they are taking sanitizing seriously.

[Hortensis]

17. Waste time wishing to heck I could go get a professional haircut.

Not much time, anyway.

[Tanuki]

18. Movies, live music, eat-in restaurant meals, church, seeing my friends,

flying, overnight travel by car, any kind of class, lecture, or community activity involving a group. About due for a haircut but no way would I go any time soon. Routine doctor's appointment scheduled in May....will see if I can do it remotely by telehealth.

[hlthe2b]

21. Yes. I have real qualms about staying in a hotel/motel any time in the foreseeable future.

What's the point? I could not possibly get a minute's sleep.

[Tanuki]

23. I feel nostalgia for the days when my biggest concern was that there

might be bedbugs!

[hlthe2b]

24. Yeah... I thought of that myself.

[MFM008]

22. Go into gatherings

No.no.no

[Hekate]

25. Won't run to a movie theater

Also -- I'm kind of cured of clothes shopping. I looked at my closet and went -- meh, I seem to have enough now.

My husband's sartorial needs are another matter: he doesn't think he has any & will wear things till they fall apart. For many years I counted on Costco for shirts and slacks -- I'd bring them home and at my insistance he'd choose. But they changed suppliers in recent years, just when I needed to replace a bunch: one whole batch of dress shirts turned out to have no front pocket, and the next batch were of such thin fabric you could practically read a newspaper through them.

Not sure when I'll feel comfortable trying again.

[The Magistrate]

26. Anything Different That I'm Doing Now, Ma'am

Doctor told me to do my best impersonation of a hermit when I left the hospital in early March, and with due allowance for family that settles the matter for me.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

27. I'll keep doing what I'm doing now.

Out for groceries once a week wearing a mask. Ever hopeful that one day I might see a package of toilet paper on a store shelf (it's been 7 weeks now without seeing a single roll in a public store)

The new hair clippers arrived yesterday which will take care of both my spouse's and my hair with a little practice

I'm a clay maker without a kiln because the co-op is closed but I've got 25 pounds of clay and lots of ideas. What I make now can sit on a shelf until I can fire it.

I'll continue to try new drink recipes for when it's 5:00 somewhere and enjoy other similar pastimes that make me smile regardless of what time it is.

[Pathwalker]

28. Leave my house. I'm not going anywhere!

Unless it's to a doctor's office.

[maxsolomon]

31. I'll be returning to most of my routine, including an annual weekend at a resort in E. WA state.

At the end of May.

But social distancing and practicing heightened hygiene. No more handshakes and hugs, though. At least through next Spring.

Too bad.
