It’s the recommendation of every local-level health authority, if you’re in the East Coast hotspots. Stay home.

If this is a plot by anyone, it’s dentists. 

Most of us have done it voluntarily, due to the drowning alone in your own lung secretions and whatnot.

Amusingly, I’m on the opposite end of this scale - I am delighted to be quarantined alone. I FaceTime a lot, but if I had another person or three (!!!) near me right now I’d probably go nuts.

Tillerson’s role as outraged defender of the military was interesting, as was the realization that Mattis’s waiver was probably a horrible idea, given someone who’s a “genetic marine” won’t be able to push back when he needs to.

I have a serving US military member popping off in one of my social media feeds about how the generals have never been spoken to that way and how everyone’s afraid to question them and that’s how we ended up with Afghanistan.

I live in NYC and travel a fair amount, and even though I did all the paperwork for Global Entry (the interview was a nightmare to schedule and even trying to do it after an international flight, there were “issues” so I just dropped it), I just haven’t found that using the normal channels have held me up.

It’s worth pointing out that I actually only know one stay-at-home mom, and her husband has the kind of family money I’ve never even dreamed of. Most of the people I know are a two-earner family with not a huge gap between the earners, and they also may have started off not blending finances because they married…

That’s a good point, most of my friends are female and are the ones who laid down the law on the separate accounts despite being the lesser earner. The signal sent if that was requested by the breadwinner in a single-income family would not work.

but surely some folks are still pooling their money. We reach our shared goals so much faster that way!

That is exactly what William and Harry have in mind. They’ve either said it outright or by implication in their actions since they were young.

Just the other week an older lady I know was talking about getting money from her husband to buy Christmas gifts. She doesnt work anymore. I made some stupid joke that he was paying for his own gifts. She then started to ramble that “when you get married its “our” money” blah blah blah. Her tone was very “dont worry…

He was a stalkery controlling boyfriend in “Secret Smile” over a decade ago, and it was terrifying - he was charismatic but in that “bad things could happen at any moment” way. Like, that character would PLAN to do bad things, and his girlfriends would only find out when he flipped the switch. Shudder.

Frankly, and this is not an insult of anyone’s opinion, none of this matters, really for the monarchy.

That’s a good point EXCEPT:

“Roll them onto their side” is good advice but hard for a rookie to follow - the recovery position is at least a posture that’s illustrated all over the web and you can mimic the pose when someone’s unconscious/unresponsive. The knee pulled up for stabilization is key, otherwise the victim just wobbles on their side.

This is a totally valid option. 

Then define it as something fucking else and come back with an actual argument.

“Since when do we go after a mom for her son’s stupidity?”

What Andrew did is squarely in line with overprivileged men who are protected by money and status. I’ve got no particular loyalty to monarchies (see: zoo comparison) but it’s not behavior unique to monarchies by a long shot. And seeking to pin blame on his mom/boss strikes me as weird in a variety of ways.
