I just ate an entire toblerone left over from Christmas and hid the wrapper in the bottom of the trash so my DH and DD wouldn't know.

I don't miss being out in the DC area. It's so peaceful in my neighborhood, and I don't have to deal with annoying Type-A people and extroverts. I'm really happy we decided to live in an area with 1/2 acre lots.

By contrast, I'm way more introverted than I thought. Being with my children 12 hours a day then my husband... I'm losing my damn mind. I want to be alone so bad. Daydreaming about being single and childless and on lockdown (because my job can be done remotely and is secure).

I'm not sure I can spend the next two months only spending all day with my husband. We only survived until now by spending very little time together. And the kids are here to see it all …

Ha. I didn’t either.

I'm self employed. I'm acting confident and unworried but I have been so stressed out the last week thinking about finances and it makes me tear up frequently. Want this nightmare to be over asap.

haven't showered yet and it's 230 PM - will go do that and have some extra fun with the shower head because I was inspired by some of these posts

What are they doing?

Basically, they are refusing to practice social distancing. They are saying they have to go out (prior to restaurants being shut down) or over to a neighbor's home for dinner because they can't cook. They are putting out pictures of their kids doing playing with friends while complaining that the schools sent too much work and they just can't get it all done. They are traveling halfway across the state to pick up antique furniture they ordered, then taking their kids to a hotel with a waterpark. I don't know - it just bugs me that my family is isolating itself and they are all just out and about, with little care or concern for others. Like I said, they make it all sound like they MUST go out because they can't cook, didn't buy things las week (because they didn't know this was coming?!), or couldn't possibly miss out on picking up their furniture order and reservations for the hotel. They are somehow special and we are the dolts who are staying home.

I confess I woke up early, by accident ..so I sat in the backyard and smoked some weed .... 730am wake and bake
Oh what fun

I confess to putting marshmallow vodka in my morning smoothie. It is now afternoon and I haven’t washed, dressed or done anything but throw out trash. Time for an afternoon smoothie

I saw that and couldn't believe it. The whole story is just quotes from this thread.

Same.

It’s Easter chocolate so that’s my cover story if it’s discovered.

When I was stocking up on food last week, I bought the jumbo size jar of Nutella. It is hidden in a bag so no one else in my family can get to it. My only problem is finding a way to sneak a spoonful while everyone is in the house!

That's my confession.

unless you are in senior management at AA, you are very much the "average" worker who will get screwed if the bailouts are not conditioned. I despise the ranks of senior management at all these companies (from banks to airlines to everything in between) that use bailout money to enrich themselves (stock buybacks) and refuse to use that money to pay employees (the "average worker"), contractors, service providers, etc.

AA is not going to use bailout money for a stock buyback. That’s something you do when you are flush with cash, not when you have a cash flow problem.

- Senior management at a large travel company, not AA.

I'm sorry- my DH works in aerospace and it's awful right now. I think people who are gleeful do not realize the destructive economic impact to our nation's economy if the aviation and aerospace industry was to collapse. I get why people dislike these industries and expect that on the other side, they will be better behaved, but letting them bankrupt-- that's a really bad idea.

no one is gleeful and the issue is that bailouts need to be directed to help the workers, not the executives. experience and history show that the workers have rarely been helped by bailouts but the executives get their golden parachutes.

and who was in favor of the bank bailouts in the 2008/9? the tea party and republicans were all vehemently against this and were advocating to let the banks fail and because that's what is supposed to happen in a free market/capitalist economy. and since it was done under Obama, he was labeled a socialist.

are these same people now for the current bailout or are they principled and opposing the bailout? complete bs. the point is if you want this to work, the bailouts have to go to the workers, but that's not what R's like.

People ARE gleeful. Look, hate my employer. Think they're trash for ruining the environment. Fine. That's your right. But don't come on MY FB page and gloat about it.
