It seems there are apps to do almost anything--bring you food, run your errands, pick you up and more. Now, a new startup called Yoshi will send someone to fill up your car with gas. With all the apps that aim to make your life more convenient, it poses the question-- are we just becoming lazier?“Folks will choose the path of least resistance when faced with two choices, you will usually do or almost always do what’s easiest,” says MSU Denver marketing professor Darrin Duber-Smith.It seems the only finger lifting we have to do is a few taps on a screen to get what we want. We have Uber and Lyft for when you need a ride. If you want food delivered straight to your door, you can use Door Dash or Postmates. And, now there is even an app that will have someone stand in line for you at the DMV. That company is YoGov, and they are based out of California.  910

It was back in March when cleaning items started disappearing from grocery stores, in the initial pandemic panic.Remember the runs on toilet paper? For three months, you couldn't find any.But here we are, six months later, and many items are still in short supply."Sometimes bleach, and paper towels," one grocery shopper told us. "Clorox wipes we cannot find," another said.But disinfecting items are just the beginning of the waves of product shortages that have hit during this year of COVID-19, and much of it has nothing to do with panic buying.So we checked into 10 things still in short supply, and why they remain so elusive.1. Lysol and Clorox wipesNext to hand sanitizer (which is now readily available), disinfecting wipes remain the Holy Grail of grocery items these days.But with hospitals, schools, and businesses snapping them up by the truckload, grocery shoppers will be among the last in line to get them as long as the pandemic rages.You can add Lysol, Clorox bathroom cleaner, Scrubbing Bubbles, and Formula 409 to the list, for the same reasons.2. Paper towelsUnlike toilet paper, which is now readily available, paper towels remain hard to find.Paper producers devoted the summer to increasing toilet paper production, and now there is almost too much. Some stores put toilet paper where cleaning products used to be to fill empty shelf space.But paper towels are bulky to ship, and manufacturers have not increased production as much, according to the Wall Street Journal. So don't expect much to change soon.And they are as in-demand as all cleaning products.3. Yeast and baking flourThe springtime lockdown saw millions of Americans turn to baking, and that in turn led to huge shortages of baking products. Luckily, these shortages are just about over, as we return to bakeries and restaurants.4. Canning jars and lidsWith worries of food shortages that never happened, millions of people started growing tomatoes and other vegetables that now need to be harvested and canned.The result: an uncanny shortage of canning supplies that is expected to linger through the winter. Expect to pay a lot for canning lids, especially.5. BicyclesThis may be the biggest shortage of all, next to Clorox wipes.Beth Tessler was shopping for a bike recently. But the showroom floor was empty, save for small children's bikes and high-end racing bikes, leaving her stunned by the prices."The cheapest bike we found was ,000," she said. "The most expensive was ,500."Store manager Terry Powell said mid-priced Bianchi and Schwinn bikes are on back order."Demand has been through the roof this year," he said. "A lot of people have been pulling old bikes out of barns and garages and trying to get them fixed up because they can't find the bicycle they are looking for."6. Swimming poolsJust like with bicycles, stay-at-home orders meant people needed activities to do at home. So all spring, they snapped up above-ground and in-ground pools.You now may have to wait several months to have an in-ground pool installed.7. AppliancesWhen it comes to appliances, things are not as tough as finding a bicycle. But still, if you are looking for a specific French-door fridge with two drawers and water in the door, you might have to settle for something else.Jeffrey Boggs owns an appliance shop where every day he deals with customers frustrated by kitchen appliances on back order."It started with freezers, and it's gradually getting into every appliance," he said. "Microwave, range, everything is difficult to get right now." He blames two factors: plant shutdowns this spring, and shipping delays from China.He said you can find a fridge or washer if you need one, but don't have your heart set on one particular model.With factories up to full steam again, he expects supplies to rebound this fall.8. Laptops, children's desksYou can thank remote, Zoom learning for this shortage. Inexpensive laptops and Chromebooks are very hard to find, as parents and schools snapped them up all summer.Stores predict shortages should ease by Black Friday. Until then, be careful buying from unknown web sellers.9. CoinsIf you have been Krogering the past two months, you probably have seen signs warning of a coin and change shortage, but it's more than an inconvenience.Jamie Lusk owns a laundromat. He struggles to keep quarters in stock."My customers use quarters to run these machines," he said. "And when I can't go to the bank to purchase quarters, then they can't run the machines."10. Beer and Coke cansThis one is not a current shortage that is just starting to get worse: aluminum cans are in short supply.Craft brewer Scott LaFollette is concerned about the sudden aluminum can shortage, which is forcing breweries to wait longer and pay more for their shipments."It is just in the beginning stages, so it's probably going get much worse before it gets better," he said.The good news: there is no shortage of beer, and if you don't mind glass, there is plenty of beer to drink.You might need a drink just keeping up with all the new shortages that seem to pop up every week.As always, don't waste your money.___________________________Don't Waste Your Money" is a registered trademark of Scripps Media, Inc.

It’s been a long year. Pandemic, wildfires, murder hornets, and now the 2020 election.And if you thought we might get a civilized discussion of the issues, well, that remains a challenge.If you think you’re the only one feeling stressed out by the election, a study conducted by The American Psychological Association shows 52% of Americans feel the same way.“For a lot of people, this election has become so emotional, so existential, and that’s real, that’s very, very real to them,” said Kelly Hupfeld, a professor at Colorado University Denver.“It’s kind of on par with 2020, but it definitely has it’s own individual, independent impact other than the coronavirus and other sort of social unrest that’s been going on,” said Lisa Henderson, a licensed counselor in Tennessee.Henderson says she’s seeing increased stress among her clients because of the election.“There’s this feeling of just helplessness, of you know, things are going on and I can’t really do much about it and sure I can vote, but right now, I think we’re about a month away from that,” said Henderson.And the way the candidates are acting probably isn’t helping“We just watched a really uncomfortable social conflict, and it was nerve wracking for a lot of us,” said Hupfeld. So, maybe you’re feeling stressed, but what are the signs you may be dealing with something more concerning.“If you’re mind is racing with thoughts you don’t really have control over anymore, so that it becomes kind of impossible for you to be able to calm yourself, that can be a sign that anxiety is really getting out of control,” said Hupfeld.According to the mayo clinic, these are some of the signs of an anxiety disorder.Feeling nervous, restless or tenseHaving a sense of impending danger, panic or doomTrouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worrytrouble sleepingHaving difficulty controlling worrySo what can you do if you’re feeling like this?“You can turn your television off, you don’t have to watch it. Similarly to Thanksgiving, you can actually get up from the table, you don’t have to stay,” said Henderson.If watching a debate or constantly getting news updates makes you feel stressed, take a break from the news, social media, and other things that trigger stress.Henerson also suggests asking yourself a question.“How does this impact me right now?” said Henderson.Henderson says these are big issues that do affect all of us, but it’s unlikely to change your day to day right away, so don’t let the stress impact your day to day either.“Really evaluate sort of an in the moment type of way, what impact does this have on me? Today, what is this going to impact?” said Henderson.One of the most important things you can do, seek help if you’re feeling like this. The National Alliance on Mental Illness helpline number is 1-800-950-6264. You can call to find a therapist or mental health professional in your area. 2925

It’s all hands on deck during harvest time at Infinite Harvest.This indoor, hydroponic farm in Colorado specializes in microgreens, young vegetables grown in a controlled environment and cropped shortly after they’ve sprouted.Production manager Luke Blough says microgreen sales have quadrupled in the past nine months with more consumers becoming more health, sustainability and environmentally conscious.“We kind of check all three of those boxes,” he said. “Our microgreen products are very nutrient dense; very flavorful. They’re sustainably grown locally and we have less environmental impact.”There's less environmental impact because of the way they’re grown. Stacking shelves of microgreens and growing them under LED lights means using about 95% less land than traditional farming.This method is catching on nationally.“Consumers are becoming more interested in microgreens,” said Sarah A. Johnson, Ph.D., with the food science and human nutrition department at Colorado State University. “They’re a relatively new agricultural food crop.”.In addition to the nutritional and environmental benefits, Johnson’s team found that microgreens could have major impacts in urban areas by making fresh produce more easily available to areas considered food deserts.“I think they have a lot of potential to kind of pop up all over the place,” she said. “Not just with these large companies but with smaller sort of pop-up, start-up companies as well.”As more farmers look to avoid unpredictable weather and leave less of a carbon footprint, experts predict microgreen consumption will continue growing nationwide“There are a couple of things we can do in a controlled environment that you can’t really do when you’re at the mercy of Mother Nature,” Blough said. 1768

INDIANTOWN, Fla. — Heartbreaking new details are coming to light about the deadly shooting of a mother in front of her six children on Tuesday.According to Martin County, Florida, Sheriff William Snyder, Maribel Rosado Morales, 32, was shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend, Donald Williams, 27, inside a home.The sheriff said six children, ranging in age from 9 to 17, were inside the home at the time of the shooting."We think most of the children in the home saw it," Snyder said at a news conference on Tuesday.On Wednesday, WPTV spoke to Morales' fiancé and brother, both of who did not want to be identified. They confirmed that all six children are Morales' and she was keeping them home from school because of the COVID-19 pandemic."She was a strong person. She was a loving person," said Morales' brother.Morales' fiancé said he was on the phone with her when the shooting happened, and he could hear the children yelling that their mother had been shot.The fiancé said that after Morales was hit, she barricaded herself inside a closet for her safety and so her children wouldn't see."I was on the phone with her. I said, 'baby, call the police,'" Morales' fiancé said. "Why? She didn’t do nothing. Why? She didn’t deserve it. I wasn’t there to save her. I wasn’t there."Sheriff Snyder said at least one of the children was doing virtual learning during the first day of school in Martin County when the gunfire rang out."[The teacher] did hear some high tone conversation, noticed some kind of confrontation, muted it, and then watched the [child] put her hands up to her ears," Sheriff Snyder said.On Wednesday, Morales' family members said the child on the class call at the time is 9 years old and has Down syndrome.Williams was taken into custody not long after the shooting while trying to board a public transportation bus.“I have hatred. Yeah, I’m not going to lie, I want to do 1,000 things to him. But you know what? I forgive him, man. I forgive him and he’ll have his day," Morales' fiancé said. "Her kids hate him, but they forgive him too."Sheriff Snyder said Williams confessed to the killing, and will be charged with first-degree murder, armed burglary, and armed home invasion, among other charges.This story originally reported by Meghan McRoberts and Matt Papaycik on wptv.com. 2315
