In reply to the discussion: Hi everyone. [View all]BumRushDaShow
(165,066 posts)53. Glad to see you have popped back in!

I started laughing about your needing "5 bags of soil" and dammit I know I need some myself but have just about given up taking the time to get any.
I remember last year going to a HD during the lockdowns here in PA (since they were deemed "essential" and were open) and standing in a socially-distanced line outside of the store for about 45 minutes since they were limiting how many could go in, and I was able to grab the last 2 N95 masks that they had at the time, plus I needed some mulch, a couple specific types of drill bits, and some mouse traps. I think I may have gone one more time after that to get a few plants, some fertilizer, a roll of "gutter guard" mesh that I use in the pots for my potted plants to cover the soil to keep the squirrels from digging, plus some bricks and concrete blocks (I use the blocks to help secure my patio umbrella and supplement the umbrella's 26 lb stand since the blocks are 20 lbs each). But after that, I haven't been back since.
Hope you continue to stay safe and yup, here we go with another year of this.

I took mine off, but started wearing it again early this week, after the CDC recommended it.

Thanks for sharing. Taking a plane trip soon. Nervous about that even with a mask.

Glad to hear you're feeling better! I'm still wearing my "I'm Vaccinated" mask.

Glad your better. We too are reverting back to curb-side and only going to places inside
