The grown ups are sometimes worse. Had a video meeting for the pool board I'm on. One member decided to go do a couple things while it was going on so we got a tour of the house. Other stories of people taking a dump and more while on these video chats. Thats why you never schedule early morning ones. Too many have BMs to do.
And as far as groceries. I've taken out two loans both times I've gone. $300 each time. And I am getting nothing but crap food. Some of it has been based off availability. Like last week all that was left in meat was meatloaf mix and chicken feet. This week i got ground beef and breasts. But TP still gone as was every pasta known to mankind.
I had my own hand sanitizer I took the first time and used it like whoa. the second time I wore gloves the entire time and put the groceries away myself. Gloves were then thrown into the wash. They were cotton gloves. It was only me and the cashier that handled the food. Gotta trust that the cashier was healthy.
They could fill the potomac in and I'd still get a enough of a river breeze to keep my temps 32.00000000000001 while mappyland and Bob Chill get PUMMELED!!!!!!!11!!11111!!!!!!
Yes, please. This thread is slowly getting too political. Even the debate about the virus itself is creeping into that area where people are ignoring facts.
I know this crisis is on everyone’s mind but we usually do ok with keeping the weather side and even banter mostly free of the pressing news.
what I’m trying to say is please don’t make this into the MA PR thread. There’s a place for that so go there if you feel the need to discuss whatever conspiracy theory you have(PDIII).
I get to carry a letter authorizing me to drive back and forth to work and while at work. I’m badass now.
Bad part is that my wife got laid off. She worked at a preschool that had to close due to schools closing the rest of the year.
2020 blows
Gonna have to bite the bullet and go to the grocery store today at some point. Out of milk and OJ and a couple other things. Hoping the Giant near me has slowly been able to restock stuff.
i wish I could. Still gotta work every day...at the office.
But i am taking walks every day with the fam. Yesterday i played a silly game with my youngest to see if we could NOT step on a crack to break our mom's backs. Its a childs game but it made both of us laugh and I think you would agree that laughter right now is so desperately needed. For her and for me. For all of us.
The drinking I save for the weekend
Been in Williamsburg since Friday for my FIL’s funeral. This is a hotspot area for VA. Funeral had a ton of elderly. All I could think of was it just takes one person and most of these people could not make it.
But we had to try and keep going on with our lives as best we can even with this grim task of honoring my FIL. For so many this will have lasting impacts. I hope all of you can stay away from it and not get it.
we might not know what the future does hold in the coming months but just know that next winter I will have 33 and rain
Comparing this to previous outbreaks is dumb. Each time its a unique strain of virus that behaves differently. We simply have no idea what it will do here. Our older citizens are rightfully concerned.
