I find Jimmy Kimmel to be EXTREMELY annoying.

He’s a self righteous pompous douche bag. It’s a good thing they don’t depend on me for ratings cause I watch less than an hour a week of tv.

Almsot all of those were on life support before the Covid situation.
Not sure why Sears isn't on there too, maybe b/c it was already bankrupt earlier?

I think GNC shot themselves in the foot when they stopped carrying other brands and went to only selling their stuff. They lost me as a customer when they did that.

Yup, Just like people, Most of the deaths are businesses that had pre-existing conditions, and the virus is what did them in.

Getting caught up in this thread finally....

Got my Insurance auto refund today; 20% off for April & May. I got the same feeling, as the NC Teachers!

I feel your pain. Mine was $22.69.

Mine was $18 and I'm happy they are giving back anything. Can't recall anywhere in the contract that says they have to.

Y'all need to up your game. Try having 9 insured cars and an RV. Refund check felt great, until I realized it was my own money.

Years ago I had a landlord tell me "You might be vehicle rich, but I bet you're insurance poor!"

Local golden corral had a temporary closed sign out for a while. Rode by yesterday and brand signs on the building and sign pole were gone. Just a single closed sign on the pole. Guess this virus is going to kill buffets.
