@Meidas_ZobethC @sedonaprince_ *Former girls ice hockey mom enters the chat* My daughter played 3 sports while in HS (ice hockey & rowing) and college (sailing), and the worst disparity by far was her ice hockey experience.

The Covid spread at the South Side Chicago school where my daughter works was so significant at the beginning of this week that she had 3 classes go remote by Tuesday, and she expected the rest to go remote soon after. This was before the lockout, by the way.

@JortsTheCat I live alone and have a back injury, so this grocery delivery by app has been a godsend. I tip a living wage, and on some apps the shopper can see this before starting. Most of my experience has been good, every once in a while there’s just a not so great shopper.
