I’ve declined the opportunity to send recipes and poems. Problem 1 is I don’t know 20 people. Problem 2 is I just don’t....

I got the recipe one from a SAHM and her friend. They each have 1 kid under 3 and keep posting pics on social media about the games they are playing etc all day. Sorry I'm working. I didn't acknowledge that I'm not participating.

I have taken a few hits of weed. My company random screens but I figure they suspended it with everyone working from home. It's been years since I smoked. DH got it a few weeks ago from his friend and I gave in on Saturday. It was fun and I had the best sleep in weeks.

A coworker on my team needs TP. I have plenty and I'm not offering to him. He's single, 20 something. Hasn't been taking this as seriously as he should. Having friends over etc. Hes also doing the bare minimum amount of work and it's being noticed by our supervisor. She mentioned to me in passing. We work closely together and I could give him a heads up but I'm not. F him.

Please take your coconut water and go elsewhere, you hysterical teetotaler. You sound incredibly boring and judgmental. So many fake doctors and crackpot scientists on these threads lately.

Nope, just a person with eyes to see with and who is also capable of reading. That's all it takes to know the facts you moron.

I have also finally been called back in to work and I am so excited to work with your DH.


Just kidding, PP. I'm a DW who is genuinely grateful for being called back to work while my DH WAH.

My work group is 100 percent female. But I confess that I was relieved when I got called back in...and more for getting out of my house. I enjoy the most banal work details now, like packing my lunch, texting my co workers, driving to work, following a schedule. I feel like my mental health is tied to feeling purposeful so this helps.

Re above PP: I so relate!

I WFH fulltime even before COVID but we are considered essential so I could go into my office. I think I need to swing by there soon to pick up some note pads

I am an essential healthcare worker and the day everyone is let out their homes, I am going to be running for my house and want to stay there.I have actually been home slightly less than I was before the lock down (with the exception of chauffering my kids to sports.)

2. I have three Sam's Club cases of toilet paper in the basement that I bought in Dec before the holidays and forgot about.

3. My coffee thermos is filled with red wine today.

You might be my favorite person in this thread

School will be there in the Fall and the kids can repeat. It won't cost the parents more.

We still do not have the distance-learning packets from FFX county, nor any real time distance leading elementary lessons - after 3 weeks.

But my kids recognized one of their teachers in front of their school when we rode by yesterday: he was passing out free lunch.

I pay taxes to the school to educate by kids, not to run a soup kitchen for the 5% farms. Teachers are supposed to teach.

This is so typical of this area - I want OUT. How to destroy a good school system? Illegal immigration

I'm gloating about families with 4+ kids who are stuck at home with them and can't escape and are forced to fully enjoy the consequences of the choices they made. That will teach them a lesson.

Oh I understand this. I am so sick of being "supervised".

OMG SAME SAME SAME SAME.

DH is holed up in our bedroom area "working" (with the TV on usually) and I have nowhere to go to escape the kids. Every once in awhile, he comes out and comments on what I am doing, what I COULD be doing, ideas for what I should be doing, etc. etc. etc.
