So through the stay at home, my son has worked his business by meeting with new prospects and current customers. He believes the virus could be a hoax and that 200,000 dying to keep the economy is worth it. He thinks the 70 y o grand parents should hug his kids because "They haven't been exposed." This years Mothers Day might be interesting if he shows up.
Don't let him in.

If you spent a week wearing a weight vest would you be weaker or more energy?
depending on your bacon intake, yes.
Drove by my favorite little English pub in Redmond today; damn I want their Shepherds Pie with a nice old ale, and the hilarious staff.Quote:

I'm so confused and tired these days I'm almost at the point of saying "fuck it!" but I know.... stay the course.Quote:

I honestly can't say I miss eating in restaurants or drinking in bars, and I regularly went out to eat and drink before this whole thing started. It's been revelatory, but I don't find myself craving those experiences, if anything, I'm thinking how mediocre most of them were, and how I don't see myself going back to those behaviors with anywhere near the same frequency.
I'm a better cook, my beer list is better, and unlike Chez Glade most restaurants frown on eating in your underwear and firing up a dessert joint right after the meal.
I don't go out that much for the same reasons but the owner of B&E is a friend who I miss. I enjoying sitting at the bar and chatting with her while I enjoy a wonderful mocha and awesome eggs bennie. I miss normal.Quote:

Which I do, but man they seem trivial.
Had to deal with the ex losing her shit with my son.
Need to move in with me, however, girlfriend is having a nervous breakdown.
My subcontractors are MIA.
Had a couple screws in my tires (that's trivial)
Best gal pal had a nervous breakdown and is in treatment.
One of my closed friends had a severe head trauma.
Oh, and there's this whole pandemic think.
Bring on the 4 horsemen.
Sorry.Quote:

That bag is about right, except maybe no OJ too.
Mrs Wooley and me got all glove and masked up to go to a garden store we'd never been to for some plants. Most customers were masked but none of the employees were wearing them. When we were checking out Mrs asked the young guy checker why he wasn't wearing a mask. He said "It's my prerogative whether I wear a mask or not." He said "prerogative" like he was proud he knew a new word. So I start coughing pretty loud and the guy looks at me a says "If you're sick you should stay home." Mrs Wooley picks up her plants and told the checker, "If you don't care about making us sick why should we care about you." Tag team.
That little shit needs some history:Quote:

Oregon on lockdown until July 6
Two more months!
Wow. That’s mental. Vibes to Oregon maggots.
I've tried that before, it didn't work as well as I had hoped. YMMVQuote:

Where did you get that from? This was published yesterday:Quote:

To be fair, I'm sure OR is seeing a lot of ID plates for the tokers who never plan ahead.
Totally unsurprised at the number of posters who bit on the "Iockdown until July 6" comment.
Oregon business can reopen May15 if the county they are in meets certain guidelines and they meet certain safety requirements.
Or the Sheriff say's you don't have to follow the guidelines. The Constitution and all.
Wouldn't say I bit. Posted an observation that I'm seeing more west coast plates in town-WA, OR, and CA. We had a big influx pre-Covid so maybe these are people who relocated and couldn't get new plates with the DMV closing. Maybe they're over here staying in their AirBNB houses because no one else is. Either way, trailheads that I ride my bike to have a high percentage of out of state plates.
My son is a diligent academic. Very quiet, studious, values his intellectual pursuits. Has never gotten anything but A's and eschewed the National Honor Society because he didn't want to waste time on "self aggrandizing drivel".
The school system doesn't do the Valedictorian/Salutatorian class ranking, though they do keep an honors list that he has been part of while battling with school administration about how many AP classes he can take in math, chemistry and physics.
So academics is a big deal.
But now with the Covid-19 shutdown and distancing, there's no graduation and despite an entrenched reticence, he admits to being a little bummed about not having a graduation/convocation ceremony.
And so are we. I think his grandparents are proud and would like to see as well, despite their decreasing mobility.
But the kid has perspective and we talk about how lucky we are not to be worried about being sick or losing our security, home or food.
Condolences and commiseration to all those for whom this is a tough time.
So fuck all the ceremony and pomp, I'm proud of my son, no matter the hospital mixup.
I wonder where he got his smarts from Buster? You should be proud. I so wish my stepson had more intellectual curiosity. He has a little, but on a level that doesn't involve twisting his mind too hard, and ask him to explain the reason something is how it is and he just mumbles. Mad talent as an artist though...but those skills are also under developed. He also is a senior this year and he is devastated that his soccer season was canceled. He is a hell of an athlete with intense focus on that part of life and has been under recognized on his HS team so this was his year to kick ass. He did break up with his horror show control freak of a girlfriend yesterday after realizing he hoped quarantine never ended so he never had to see her again. Lolz. Thank God. Off to community college to keep his soccer dreams alive. I really feel for all these kids. Such an amazing time of life stolen from them.

Kind of an odd way to announce that you are opening some businesses.
She may need a new communications director.
Good to hear there are some things opening. 100 deaths isn't enough to shut down an entire state. Sorry about the departed.
Similar problem here Buster. Daughter academically pushes herself and is graduating from Purdue in EE and a business minor. To make things worse, we moved to Montana last year, so now she is sheltering in place with her fiance's family in Iowa. At first, she just wanted to get school over and stated she wasn't concerned about graduation. But now those closer to campus are posting pics in cap/gown from various campus spots. Then she got her diploma and a graduation gift box in the mail from Purdue.
Not the way she wanted it to end and has been in tears. She and the boyfriend are driving to campus today to empty the apartment and get some campus pics. Will get to see some of the sorority sisters and friends, but it won't be the same.

Again, who knows where that came from.
If I hadn't diligently written my name on the label, we would have had a lab mix-up with our middle kid. They put it in the wrong tray at the front desk. Once they read the label they asked and got the right stuff in the right place. Close call.Quote:
