I'm getting more sleep, finished a bunch of projects at home, spending quality time with fam, and have extra time for my own hobbies that don't include shitting in the shower.

x2. At the end of this, if I could retire, I would.

My small ugly husband can’t cook and is losing his hair.

There are entire communities where the elderly are kind of warehoused and dependent upon aides to dress, bathe, move, toilet, diaper change, feed and otherwise attend to and it’s all impersonal and isolating. My parent was in a lauded, expensive facility in a private room and it was beyond depressing and dire. We hired a private duty aide and visited to ensure our parent was rarely alone. Otherwise, the frail elderly are left alone for hours. Call buttons ignored.

My parent literally wasted away and died while sleeping. I’ve changed my medical directive that I am not be be kept alive by any extraordinary means/DNR.

This. I think coronvirus in nursing homes is an act of kindness from the universe.

We are all not so secretly hoping this takes my 99 year old grandfather with "the stats of a high school athlete!" and very limited mental capacity...

Won’t the Coronavirus kill him with pneumonia? Is that really the cause of death you want for him? That’s an amazing hope for you to have, if I take you right.

Obviously not ideal, but he wanted us to take him out somewhere and shoot him with a pistol if he ever lost his mind, after working full time until 92. So yes, no one is exactly fretting about any cause of death for a mentally incapacitated turning 100 year old. Have you spent much time on some of these late seniors floors? It's basically an act of mercy.

He obviously read Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men

I haven't ordered in or picked up takeout in over a month, I want to support the local restaurants, but I'm not paying $70 for subpar food between the food and the delivery. There's this constant guilt-tripping about taking care of our local businesses, but no one takes care of us when we're well or in a bad shape.

Capitalism is ugly, and all of those using these dire times to make money are just crappy people. (outside of stocks, I'm talking buying all the Nintendos or all the chest freezers to resell at a profit).

I haven't missed many people and they likely haven't missed me, this makes me think it's time to find a better community.

People complaining are incredibly annoying. You have food, water, electricity, it's good weather so you're not dying of heat or cold, you have internet and can keep in touch with everyone at ANY time, and yet people are SO bored, they need connection. FT someone. You have ANY idea how lucky you are?

If you think capitalism is ugly, why don’t you move to Venezuela?

Why is it that people only suggest moving to Venezuela? Tell PP to move to Sweden or Denmark! That'll show'em!

Enjoy your taxes.

If either country actually wanted me and my aging parents were willing to pack up and follow us, I would move in a hot second. I'll gladly pay all the taxes. Their people are happier and their healthcare system and overall quality of life is better. I would much rather raise my kids in a society that is focused on the "we" instead of the "me". It's not so easy to move there though.

popped off the drain cover, and plopped it right down the drain hole, no marks.

Cleaned balloon knot with bodywash.

Even came up with a song, like the one by Eric Clapton. "I shat the shower......but I didn't s&it the kitchen sink, oh no"

You write and behave like a sociopath raised on Mountain Dew by the members of a radio morning zoo. You are absolutely disgusting and I feel genuine pity for any human or living animal that has to deal with you in any capacity.

I go stores multiple times a week without a mask. Don't own one and won't wear one unless forced to.

I'm definitely feeling like the odd man out and I'm fine with that.

Have an appointment for an antibody test on Monday and will be pissed if I don't carry the antibodies.

I think your extremely response is much weirder.

Unfriending people who won’t meet me in the STREET for a dog walk. I mean really- how freakin paranoid can you BE and how is it serving you? That you cannot do anything to maintain “friendship” ? Hiding inside your house day after day?

I am not participating in the weekly neighborhood Zoom because I differ so greatly on what it means to be a “friend “

Thanks for listening- my DH is tired of my rants.

This event has given people who love to freak out a reason to freak out.

I have been laid off and everyone is sympathetic but I would much rather be getting $57k/yr and not work rather than get 66k/yr and deal with all the work crap!
Also told my ex and he increased the child support.

You could have criticized him for calling it an Eric Clapton song. That was a cover of Bob Marley’s song.

My husband is also losing his hair. He doesn’t cook and is a slob. I wish I could send him back to his parents.

I hear you - but where do you get the $57K/yr from?
