What are napkins??? We call that “square toilet paper” where I’m from these days!!No paper products of any kind, not even napkins. It's insane.

Dh was doing laundry the other day and dropped something behind the drier. He pulled it out and found a huge pack of napkins! So score I guess?What are napkins??? We call that “square toilet paper” where I’m from these days!!![]()
My parents are at their rental house in Florida where they spend the winter. I can’t decide whether to tell them to start driving home or not. Their from Long Island where there’s a fair outbreak going, although Florida’s going pretty well too.
If they came home I could drive the 3 hours every week and drop off groceries for them. I work in healthcare, so I’m the designated outside of the house person.
They’d need at least one if not two overnight stops. They would have to head home by March 31st no matter what.
This whole situation has me a whole ball of anxiety. And of course I’m supposed to be the calm rational one in the family so everyone keeps asking me for advice.
Is is like July or August yet?
LOVE THISCredit card related-working on my MSR for my new Hyatt card and continuing to utilize the 5% categories of my freedom and discover.
In other related news or not so related: be kind to one another, so much uncertainty going on, and we all just need to take things day by day. Listen to the current recommendations and do your part to slow the spread. Eat good food, try to limit your news intake, get sleep, and pick up a new hobby to spend your time or work more on your love of credit cards and churning. We are all in this together!
I'm getting the necessities.
At my house that means dog food, dog treats and diet dr pepper. Y'all don't want to know how much diet dr pepper I have.My excuse is I didn't have any for 3 weeks and am trying to catch up!
I stocked up on diet DP tooAt my house that means dog food, dog treats and diet dr pepper. Y'all don't want to know how much diet dr pepper I have.My excuse is I didn't have any for 3 weeks and am trying to catch up!
And our school district here says they are remaining open at the advice of the CDC...Just read CDC says schools should be closed for 8 weeks. 2 weeks isn't going to do anything. Plus spring break will complicate that for a lot of the country.
But I did forget the eggs in all my grocery shopping last weekthankfully I'm not a baker so not like they're super necessary... although now for some reason I wish I'd picked up nestle choc chip cookie dough... I remembered the staples and booze but desserts got left out for some reason... I was Adulting too good apparently

What's the word at your work? Obviously we cannot work from home. I am grateful (financially speaking) to be considered "essential personnel." I know some departments (PD) are only responding in person for emergencies (all "report" calls will be taken by phone). Will be interesting to see my emails when I go back tomorrow night.

UA appears to have doubled mile prices for gift cards...
Anyone who thinks they might want to redeem miles for gift cards on another carrier should do so STAT. I expect everyone to follow. Airlines are fighting for survival now. (I know it's not a good redemption normally but sometimes people find themselves with a bunch of airline miles they aren't gonna use.)
Idk but everyone has different circumstances. Just wanted the info out there in case anyone was considering cashing out any airline’s miles for gift cards.But... why? United miles no longer expire.

Seems like the first step in a mileage program’s deval though so if you’ve got your eye on actual flights prob not a bad idea to book sooner rather than later.
I think the government will backstop most* of the major airlines honestly.I mean, I think a deval is always possible. Bankruptcy remains an outside possibility, but I think the legacy carriers like United are viewed as essential to national security and competition, and would likely get a bailout similar to what happened with GM. It’s possible a mileage program could be scrapped in bankruptcy or its terms changed, but I think a carrier would assume that liability rather than burning that relationship with all their flyers.
Ok, I need to engage in some retail therapy and use up DH's Amex Plat credit at Saks ASAP! What should I get?
Eggs are a problem here, but we finally tracked some down - we eat a lot of eggs. But the bread is almost fully stocked. I'm confused, anytime there's imminent snow people buy bread and eggs, I guess for French toast. Why are they only buying eggs and not bread? Do they have bread in their freezers already due to our lousy winter? I don't understand.
The liquor stores, however, are fully stocked. I dunno what all these other people are doing, but if I might be quarantined, I'm getting the necessities.
