Right now the only thing that is wrong with me is some mild decongestion (hope it stays mild...)

Joy: I got to be on the radio! Click here if you want to hear me!

Post by **Obbl** » Fri Mar 13, 2020 8:19 am

Bit of a breakneck pace at times, but still got a lot of good viewpoints and stories

That is very impressive. It really is a great job you have done there Furr!

It's getting a little deranged up here, too. Glad I retired when I did. Gotta hit the library early tomorrow `cause it's shutting down until 31 March.

Joy: We remembered to stock up since every store that sells bathroom supplies seems to be running out and I heard some idiot was in a hazmat suit selling tons of toilet paper rolls for $100. Like what the ****?

Sorrow: Most likely by the time my dad goes shopping tomorrow there won't be much to buy.

That’s pretty cool, Hlaoroo!

Sorry to hear about your sister’s cat, Sean.

Sorrow: I almost got struck by a deranged driver while shopping.

Joy: I think I got everything I need, though.

Joy: I'm using my paycheck to take my aunt out tomorrow to either lunch or dinner with my mom and I spent the day with my grandaunt, my mother, my grandaunt's husband, daughter and her friend because her birthday is one day before Saint Patrick's Day.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sat Mar 14, 2020 7:10 pm

Well, there's still pizza. And sorry about your sister's cat, Sean; I still miss my kitty, two years gone now.

Same here. I really do wish that I had gotten to see him before he went to the Rainbow Bridge. Especially with how he ALLEGEDLY went according to my cousin. >_>

Long story short, she says my aunt fell on him and crushed him and he ran off and most likely died of internal injuries. That is all I'm gonna say and I'm not about to get more into it because I don't feel like being chastised.

Accidents happen. I've seen a few in my decades. Pets do "run off", too … when I was growing up, dogs ran free in the suburbs and it was not uncommon for a dog to go off with his pack in the morning and never return. I'm sorry for your loss, however long ago. I, at least, was able to be with Andy in his last hours.....

Sorrow: one of the artists I listen to may have just committed suicide and I just

why?

Joy: I had an AMAZING dream last night.

Sorrow: It was just a dream.

Sorrow: Everything over here is being shut down due to the Coronavirus.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Mon Mar 16, 2020 5:31 pm

We're not there yet but I'm sure it's coming.........

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Mar 16, 2020 11:36 pm

If it happened here its gonna happen in the next nearest state (which is Massachusetts).

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Tue Mar 17, 2020 10:58 am

Our Governor just ordered all restaurants and food service establishments to go to no sit-downs - windows, order-outs, and deliveries only. Ah, well ...............

CuriousCnidarian · Post by **CuriousCnidarian** » Tue Mar 17, 2020 11:48 am

Well, my study abroad was just officially cancelled. They wanted to postpone it until August, but university wouldn't let them. So this means:
No, I won't get to meet up with my friend in Warsaw, whom I was very much looking forward to meeting;
No, I won't get to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity;
No, I won't get to study abroad like everyone else in my family has, currently is, or will be doing;
No, I won't get to graduate on time

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Mar 17, 2020 5:23 pm

I have to say that is a massive bummer. If you need to vent, I can lend you an ear. I just might have to clean it first. XD

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Tue Mar 17, 2020 6:53 pm

Sorry to hear that, Cnid. Perhaps in the Fall.....?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Mar 17, 2020 11:03 pm

He said it is a once-in-a-lifetime so I'm not sure it would be offered ever.

trekkie · Post by **trekkie** » Wed Mar 18, 2020 6:58 am

I’m so sorry to hear that, CuriousCnidarian. That’s a real shame. If you want to talk, just PM me.

Well, hoping his is a long lifetime, perhaps travel opportunities may come again.... It is certainly to be hoped, at any rate.

CuriousCnidarian · Post by **CuriousCnidarian** » Wed Mar 18, 2020 10:58 am

Guys, I appreciate the offers, but I'll live. Life goes on.

NHWestoN wrote:Sorry to hear that, Cnid. Perhaps in the Fall.....?

Study Abroads are only in the Maymester at my university, which means there wouldn't be another until next May, whereas I'm either graduating December (if I can fit the make-up classes in) or at the beginning of next May, before Study Abroad.

Another disappointment that my in-state Geology field trip that would've capped off my minor got cancelled, moving instead to a "virtual field trip" that's all the the work and none of the fun (for someone like me who was hoping to do some fossil collecting, at least).
But to stave off this disappointment, I got myself a new pack of Theory11 playing cards. My collection now includes Archangels, Black Hudson, Contraband, High Victorian, and my the newest member of my collection, Navigator. Hoping to get my hands on Citizens next.

Joy: Last night, I found an old flash RPG I used to play all the time (Arkandian Crusade), and that there are TWO sequels.

Sorrow: I woke up this morning with corneal abrasions in both eyes (left worse than right, but right is pretty insignificant). Good thing I still have medicine left over from when this happened a couple weeks ago. Called the optometrist about getting that amniotic membrane put in to permanently fix this issue, but the earliest I could get it done is April 6, if the state doesn't shut them down due to corona.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Mar 27, 2020 11:32 pm

Is you getting corneal abrasions a regular occurence because you have some condition or do you just have bad luck?

CuriousCnidarian · Post by **CuriousCnidarian** » Sat Mar 28, 2020 12:29 am

It usually happens two or 3 times per year, so to have it happen twice in so short a timespan is rather unusual. Probably has something to do with me staying up until 3 playing those flash games...
Or bad luck. I'll go with that.

Also, don't know why I didn't post this earlier, but my new watch came in. Casio AE1200WHD-1A. Had to remove 4 links from the wrist strap since my wrists are skinny af, but I'm liking it.

I just got rescheduled for dental implants so there's another month of chewin' on only one side of my face. But I'm really sorry to hear about your corneal abrasions. That does not sound at all pleasant!

Joy: We finally bought a new house and are gonna be moving to Johnston, Rhode Island which will be a new location outright!

Sorrow: We finally bought a new house and now we have to sell our old one since my grandmother died and I've lived her for 27 years!

Post by **D-Rock** » Sat Mar 28, 2020 9:21 pm

Sorrow: Well, everyone at work got hours slashed due to event cancellations. I've been told that nearly everyone got cut from five days to three.

Question to you. You're a chef right? Other than the obvious, how has the pandemic changed dining?

Leaving familiar and beloved surroundings is always a little painful - and 27 years, probably a big chunk of your life, is a long time and a lot of memories.

Everything is take-out now and no more than 10 people can stay in, but even that’s discouraged. As for the employee cafeteria, we bag up the meals for the employees from behind a barrier that was set up on the buffet.

Oh. OK. Man this virus is ruining EVERYTHING. I really do hope that eventually that they can eradicate it. It is really making everybody go crazy.

So glad that the last place I went out to eat was a place I wanted to go (Olive Garden).
