1. "yesterday...I snapped...." In response to Reply # 0
A nice family stroll (one kid on bike & the other catching some Zzz's in the stroller) back home from the grocery store took a down turn as we got within a block of our house...
So the elementary school is at the end of our block along with the public library. There's a huge field & a huge parking lot, along with a basketball court & playground and another smaller auxiliary play yard area that's half court & half mulched and fully fenced in. They larger field and playground is also fenced in...but there's easier access and multiple access points so much less "restricted" entry.
All public school grounds in the county have signage posted stating clearly "NO DOGS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS"... because..well...that's kinda a no brainer...Dogs shit & piss...anywhere/everywhere they have access too. This is a known rule...This is a common rule...This is common.sense.
So; we're coming down the sidewalk and as the small play yard area come into view we see a dogs tail wagging and then the closer we get we see not one but TWO more dogs just running all willy-nilly inside the play yard. These are HUGE dogs too... Also two grown ass 50+ year old couple just in there having the grandest time playing with their dogs INSIDE the fenced in play yard... As we approach closer one dog scrambles over to the mulch area to do what dogs are wont to do....begins to shit... Of course, another of the 3 dogs sees this and decides it needs to take a shit too! So now there are 2 dogs actively shitting... IN THE PLAY YARD... and the woman is walking over to scoop up one of the piles of shit but the man is just standing there watching the other dog shit and the 3rd dog is over chewing on the children's play toys that are stashed in the corner of the play yard....
I try to stay calm...and just keep it moving on to the house...then I stopped and turned back as the rest of the family went on to the house... Wife already knew...smh...
I get to the corner... ME:"EXCUSE ME!!" "YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR DOGS SOMEWHERE ELSE TO PLAY!" Yada...yada..yada.... THEM:"What's the problem? We're cleaning up after them?" (in typ. entitled Baby Boomer voice) ME:"THERES A SIGN! RIGHT.THERE!!" THEM:"YOU need to stop yelling at us! We didn't SEE a sign! Where's a SIGN?!" ME: "RIGHT.THERE! BUT YOU SHOULD USE COMMON SENSE! YOUR DOGS ARE SHITTING WHERE MY KIDS PLAY!" THEM"YOU SHOULD ASK NICELY!"
Yada yada yada....
Neighbor comes out to intervene....I proceed home and walk into the house.... Wife was like "Damn, I didn't know you were gonna go ALL out. LOL"
I had to walk back to the corner to apologize to the neighbor that intervened... He understood...appreciated me coming back to him...offered some advice... Neighbor: "Just some constructive criticism, if I may... You started off at like..a Level 8 (raises hand to nose level)..maybe if you started a little nicer things could have remained civil?"
Me: "Yeah..I started at Level 10...but...when my kids are excited about riding bikes on the court only to turn the corner and see a pack of dogs shitting all over the place...kinda ruins things for us and sends me to a not.so.happy.place. "

Usually I’m level headed when it comes to plans changing but this shit got me worried.
Wife came in yesterday and told me she was furloughed... my heart dropped into my stomach. Then she told me it was her side hustle at Charlotte Ballot. Whew!!! That was expected but it’s still a punch to the gut. For some people this is their only gig.
This made me start thinking about MY job and the fear of losing it. We joked about not paying daycare and actually saving money during this shut down but if we lose actual jobs we are fucked and some people are in some seriously shitty situations.
———
..and of course a part of me is also wondering how this happened and why this happened? Shit just seems off. Like there is more to it. Every fucking time these GOP assholes have tax cuts for the rich it’s followed by some devastating shit which needs a stimulus to keep us afloat. Just feels like the money was real funny so they shut shit down so they could do a reset.
Anyway.. conspiracy rant over

I didn't watch it when it was originally on at all. But my GF (she's white) did and she completely loves it. Recently, she got into watching the reruns again and I started half-ass paying attention.
I don't think it's the greatest sitcom in the world but I can get a some laughs form it.

once you finally break through that initial withdrawal...it becomes a lot easier.
like its crazy how sugar sensitive i am after i started avoiding the processed stuff. one small cup of straight oj and im like ok thats enough. i water down all my fruit juices now and they still taste sweet to me. even white rice is sweet to me now.

when I was off sugar I was eating nothing but the good stuff because all the bad stuff became so unappealing and..nasty. Holidays came and womp womp. I need to stop sugar again which isn't hard..three days is all it took for me thank god. Its mostly the sugary drinks that got me and three days of solid water should be good. But props on that ten years yo

11. "haha mcdonalds is definitely a drug" In response to Reply # 7
ive gone months without it then all of a sudden it becomes a regular thing. im trying to avoid going to chains during this shut down and support more local spots. whataburger and canes have a grip on me right now though.
20. "yeah i try to squeeze in the local joints" In response to Reply # 11
but i got free doordash delivery with one of my chase cards and mcdonalds is so much cheaper than a real restaurant.
you order 2 things from a local spot and that shit be like $30. you order mcdonalds for the whole fam and that shit be like $16.50 depending on what size fries and drink you got lol.
and doordash got some deal at my mcds that every size soft drink is $1. so you know i been hitting up that sprite mix tropic berry.

13. "i think im kind of in denial on how this all will impact me" In response to Reply # 0
i was worried last week. i mostly dont feel that right now. i think im kind of relieved that my city/county ordered the stay home order.
im a bit conflicted at the job. boss (while hes working from home) called me last night to tell me he wants me and my officemate to alternate working from home, one week at a time.
its cool that i have a job at a company that passes the essential test and all but um why arent we minimizing how much people come to work? whats the point of having us in the office if we dont have to be??? i did tell him we need to have some wipes and hand sanitizer in the office, have to check with someone to see if they have any. im gonna get on my boosie and wipe everything down in the office.
im still going to push to work from home as much as possible but i could tell i needed to let him marinate on it.
i will start seeing some changes to my life outside of work starting tonight and i dont know how long that will take to affect me.
the trip to see my sister and mom is pretty much on hold. we pushed it back but pretty much agreed that we need to wait and see.
he was discussing them with my officemate yesterday looking to buy some. i told them they should not be sold at stores and that only doctors/nurses should have them. that WE dont need them.
dude says he has them due to his side hustle, didnt expect him to come to work with one

Woke up around 3 a.m. because I was aching when I inhaled. The deeper the breath; the deeper the feeling. Around 5:30, I couldn’t take it anymore. Got up to wash my butt, brush my teeth, and put some clothes on so I could head down to a hospital.
The shortness of breath thing and body aches as COVID-19 symptoms was heavy on my mind. I confess that...
I was scared.
Got there, gave them the run down, and did what they told me to do (I.e. EKG, vital signs check, and bloodwork). They came back to me with thumbs up and saying that it was most likely a flank strain. My abdomen and lower back is where I feel the pain. I likely strained a muscle or two while stretching yesterday. Stretching because I’ve been sitting too much.
Anyway, I was shook!
Y’all stay safe and sanitary out in them WFH and/or quarantined streets.

had me wondering if something was up. About to load up on immune boosting smoothies right now along with the homemade applesauce my wife made a couple days ago. Then, I’m washing it down with more hot ginger/lime/honey water I brewed up the other day and stored.

these death totals don’t really scream “shut it all down” but maybe I’m tripping
Just seems like if we had enough test for everyone the death totals wouldn’t seem as scary.
When I see the map with all the states and some of the death totals in single digits ionno. Seems like the graphics are worse than the actual data.

54. "eh i dont agree with that" In response to Reply # 50
i think most people see that these numbers will go up a lot soon. were already behind at preventing the spread based on what other countries have seen.
still the help that the government is pushing is what has surprised me. it really could be as simple as they see what has happened and see it is likely to follow everywhere so theyre doing what they need to (mostly).
doesnt mean i dont have the feeling that there could be more to it though lol
57. "It's not the deaths that are causing for the "shut it all down" orders" In response to Reply # 50
It's the rate of spread, life inside of a body, ways it go about undetected, then the colossal amount of resources and time needed to treat the most severe cases, who will then be key to getting as much information about what the disease is and how to survive it.
Last thing you want is buildings full of deaths with no ability to learn from the loss. We (humans) learn a lot from survival, more than we learn from death sometimes.

When they start chipping people here in the US, liberals will be the ones ratting out folks that don't want the mandatory "vaccine" that comes with the readable-via-WiFi nano chip.
Liberals (and Conservatives) still talking about dumb-ass political shit when the entire world has been destabilized, and the possibility of WW3 is highest that it's ever been in our lifetime. These folks really believe the nonsense that the media and social media has fed them about the virus coming from people eating bats.
I don't trust Conservatives either, or any other political group-think organization.

The conspiracy in me has no chill. Read a story about how we can store all this gas we have.
Prices are dirt cheap and we ain’t driving or buying gas. Planes are grounded... a lot of fuel isn’t being bought while it’s low as fuck right now. Is this by design?
Saudi tried to run Russia into the ground with cheap oil.. but we can’t even take advantage of it.
Watch how fast gas rises when this is all over.
Just a theory.

plus, the Hungarian PM has now unlimited power due to a covid19 bill that was just passed this morning.
The bill: -state of emergency w/o time limit -rule by decree -parliament suspended -no elections -spreading rumors or fake news: up to 5 years in prison -leaving quarantine: up to 8 years in prison
its a matter of time the repubs start thinking and planning something similar for the Donald.
