How to Shop Smarter and Safer During the COVID-19 Outbreak
In the midst of the corona virus pandemic, many are practicing social distancing and staying indoors to avoid the risk of exposure to or even spreading the disease. For some people, that means working from home, catching up on the latest Netflix series, and taking college courses online in the comforts of a blanket burrito. While having to make changes to our daily routines one thing is constant: the need and desire for food. Fortunately, most grocery stores remain open so that we can replenish our refrigerators and pantries. But there is one question on everyone’s mind: Is it safe to make a food run or should we try delivery?

Unpopular Opinion: Self Isolation Really Isn't That Bad.
As an introverted mentally ill disabled woman, I have to say all this self isolation talk it's really not that bad. I mean the pro's I don't have to socialise with people and make inane chats about boring topics, that I quite honestly couldn't give two hoots about.

Sanity in Solitude
Disclaimer: This isn’t designed to help with the money situation. I’ve included some resources near the end in case you’re interested. The list is by no means comprehensive, but hopefully it will help. What I truly hope to help with is the boredom.

USA Rx: Can it Help You Save Money?
For years, this was true - if you didn’t have insurance, you were out of luck when it came to prescription drug costs. With more than 80 million uninsured and underinsured Americans today, thankfully, this is no longer the case. Even if you have insurance coverage, many insurance companies exclude certain drugs from coverage or place limits on the maximum amount they will cover in a year, meaning the medication you need might not be available to you when you need it most. Fortunately, USA Rx can help you save money, time, and frustration when it comes to your prescriptions.

7 Ways to stay sane as an extrovert in Self Isolation
I think we can all agree that at the moment we collectively hate this episode of Black Mirror. Everything has come to a halt and we are all worried about our friends, our family and ourselves, however the one thing that’s going to make an impact more than anything right now is our mental health. Having the right outlook impacts how we survive this without going completely batshit crazy, and how we help each other. People on their own are calm and collected, whereas people in a group have about the same level of chill as a clowder of cats on catnip, (yes the word for a group of cats is a clowder). In this article I, an extrovert, am going to help you with ways not to completely fall down the rabbit hole, and use this time we have in limbo well.

Make Your Own Hand Sanitiser
Popular Opinion – Buy it. It’s cheap. Why bother spending many hours researching the active ingredients in a product and the ways in which it may be manufactured when it is normally readily available and relatively inexpensive to purchase?

The Cause and Cost of Panic Buying During Emergencies and What Rational Preppers Are Buying
I am from a small city in Atlantic Canada. A friend of mine from high school posted a picture from one of our two Walmart stores showing barren shelves where toilet paper, paper towel, and wipes are normally plentiful.

Keep Your Workplace Safe This Flu Season!
Cold and flu is natural, but painful! And staying away from it when the same goes viral is challenging! Especially in your work places. These are the centres where lots of people mingle daily and communicate in some way or another. Getting infected with the cold is but natural. But staying safe is an option we all do have even in such a circumstance.

I Sit Down When I Pee
As we look into the rearview mirror of time and watch the previous decade fade into history, we look to the road ahead, and with the virtue of hindsight, may be fit to wonder what it was that culturally defined the 'teensies', and more importantly, what it is that we should have in the trailer towing behind us, to bring into the new decade [discard car analogy here]. There are many fit answers to this question, but one obvious one may be that which is best summarised as the MeToo movement. Men have been put on notice in a very real and public way, for all the blunder and bluster with which they move through the world. From the grotesque to the mildly annoying, male-centric behaviour has appropriately been put under review, and I, a fellow man, would politely like to submit my own gripe to be put under review here also. And that is the idea that has cultivated within our culture that men and boys ought to stand up when they pee. In the following paragraphs I will be outlining two key arguments in advocation for a sitting down urination protocol, with sanitation and basic courtesy as the prime and most important reason, and comfort as its secondary.
