It is time for a new open forum. I calmed down a bit after the two hour recap. I’m agitated again. My email box is not full of good news about my family and friends. Today was THE ONE GOOD DAY OF WEATHER we have had. Our counties are on lockdown. People are dying. My family is afraid. My friends are afraid. Especially my friends in NYC. I tried to take a walk around the block and the school had people blocking the gate into the bus lane. I just wanted to walk out in the sun on the bus lane but was not sure if that was okay. So I tried to walk around the block but something that looked to me like a drug deal was going down. Just like we need our wine, they their whatever.
I am starting to get angry. I am angry at the idiots on Next Door who wonder if because they are in the city limits of another government the Shelter In Place applies to them. I am angry that my neighbors still have SOFA KING many visitors. I am angry .
I am angry at people who are offering to help me for driving me crazy trying to help. If I have to spend all my time answering your emails about how to help I could have just done it my damn self in less time. I am angry at the long time commenter who doesn’t understand that I was talking about MYSELF about the GOD DAMN pork chops and ghosted us.
I am ANGRY at the Orange one and how there are so many people who are going to die and he has a 49% approval rating.
I am most ANGRY that there is nothing I can do to fix this. I am ANGRY that I get emails about how this person died. Or this one is infected. I don’t need to know unless I KNOW them. I have enough of those on my own.
I am angry that morons that I usually ignore are trying to tell me how I should be writing my posts. READ THE MOTHER FUCKING COMMENTING RULES.
This is my site. Things will be done my way and if you don’t like it fuck the fuck off. I do not need your advice on how I do a Goddamn thing.
So get your knickers in a twist if you need too. So that is my vent, what is yours?
I’m sorry, TT. I totally get it. I have to work on another fact check story because the grifters and scammers are shilling for “miracle cures” that are either unproven or 100% bullshit. Are we all really this stupid?
Yup… I am a dietitian and it amazes me what people think will work…
Ugh I am sorry. Just so you know I love how you post and will read just about everything you post (I can’t do the lock up ones but yeah that is my own issue.)
We are officially on stay at home in my county but you can still go to the grocery store and essential places. I am still sending my daughter to daycare because I have to work. I am also in very early pregnancy and this all scares me to pieces. I had to start social distancing in social media and being choosy what I watch but I don’t want every detail, why do people have to over share?! We get it, it is bad.
Your sanity safe space with whatever you post thank you for being you.
I’m trying to hang on to the hope that I’ll have a job after this and that I may be able to go back to Paris.
Otherwise, I’m spending quality time with the guy I love most in the world and my cats hanging by my pool drinking margaritas.
No, my cats aren’t drinking tequila.
I can’t let myself get angry or sad over this. I cannot go down that rabbit hole because I am afraid I wouldn’t make it back.
I think keeping ourselves rational and trying to stay away from that rabbit hole is the best we can do right now.
I
I agree Maria.
I agree. I am just angry at myself. People are trying to help and I appreciate it.And people are overly sensitive here sometimes and I am out of patience to explain myself.
I can be very reactive in case you haven’t noticed.:) I am going to watch Survivor now.
I’ve offended a couple of people I care about and that makes me angry too.
I just wanted to walk my damn dog today. I’m literally afraid to roll in my trash can without using plastic bag. I thought I might plant some seeds but you should never do that angry.
After my drunken rant on Next Door about morons hitting a sign no morons have hit the sign so that was my contribution. But I think they have taken down the site for stupidity or I am blocked. 🙂 SO WORTH IT.
I still get the email notifications which let me know there are people who don’t get that it doesn’t matter if their city government hasn’t told them to Shelter in Place (um check out our Metro Atlanta Stats) if the COUNTY HAS. I don’t think those people have TVs.
It’s not about the pasta aka pork chops lol! I haven’t ghosted y’all, just now checking back in. I don’t even remember what Post that was under and haven’t even been able to catch up on anything here. Have been super busy and scared shitless and I had a bad day when I reacted poorly about the fucking pork chops. Shit went from off to full blast within a day or two. I’m trying to not comment further because I know too much scary shit. I’m separated from my kids because of this shit it wasn’t safe having them come home. I’ll have to explain later what my home has become. Stuff seems to be changing hourly. I’m so fucking stressed and I’m so angry with Orange one but I don’t have the time to dwell on it. If I can say one thing of importance, EVERYONE PLEASE STAY HOME!
Asking for and sending prayers for all. I love everyone here and want you all to stay safe. Will check in when I can… sending virtual hugs
Love to you and Banjo and the rest of you awesome people xo
In case you didn’t get the implied, I’m not upset with you. I was being emo due to stress. I’m not usually such a thin skinned pussy. Sorry if I upset you! And thanks for putting through the small penis comment because I needed the laugh. We all good. Enjoy your expensive yummy pork products lol!
I am so glad you are back. And so sorry things are so tough right now. You still are funny, though, so that’s a VERY good thing.
One thing we KNOW and that I hope people will heed — the Orange One must go. That means WE ALL need to vote. Duh! But I know lots of young people who say they won’t vote if Biden runs. They need to realize if they don’t vote, OrangeAde will win.
Thanks Nanette!
Well, we’re now experiencing WiFi outages because of so many people using internet simultaneously here. So please don’t assume I am ghosting if I don’t check in or comment often. We are all using data on Verizon who installed boosters close by and in the hospitals at Med center. I’m saving my data for family and crucial communications. Hopefully they can fix this problem sooner rather than later! xo
I agree. I don’t plant seeds, cook, or bake when I am upset, mad, or sad. I made dinner tonight, consciously put aside a few things for a reset and a break from thinking of much. Work balance is tough right now, too.
I kinda want to read the rant. I was thinking the other night that you shut down the nonsense, and I respect that. When posts start going down a path leading to just no good, negative, or otherwise sideways direction, you shut it down immediately. That keeps me here. I lurked for a long time. Finally started posting. Don’t beat yourself up. I spent much of the morning doing that. It is my “go to” reaction to things out of my control. Ugh. Exhausting.
Exhaust your wrath by pulling weeds with love and patience sow your seeds.
The prison where my husband works had its first positive COVID19 test. We are in Michigan. I am a CPS worker on the front lines. Management being secretive, I am about over the edge. Thanks for letting me vent. We will be okay.
The kindest best man I ever met in my entire very long life was a Yooper. If we all live through this, I EXPECT for you to set me up! lol.
Hang in there sweetie. And any Yooper can ask me for anything.
I’m a yooper who lives in San Antonio now. instead of retiring to the sun I’m retiring to the snow soon can’t wait to get back
Also I have temporarily joined a cult. The Well on Instagram. Depak Chopra is going to lead a meditation I think on Saturday at noon? Then I shall unfollow.
Before you end up selling peanut brittle in front of a grocery store. I’m mooning you.
Great suggestion. Thanks!. Documentaries about the Moonies. Fascinating stuff.
👏👏👏👏
I did my venting on Monday and am feeling calmer for it. So vent away – it seems to be a release for me. I think this is going to be a long haul and we got to keep it together, somehow. Maybe we need a weekly vent page here. Could be good for morale.
Sadly, I think we are going to have to have a lot of keep it together posts here. But someone I care about is already pissed at me for saying I regret posting about an expensive meat place at this time. Another is likely mad at me for offering to help with photos. It’s complicated.
She’ll get over it. Everyone’s on edge.
Hey TT, emotions are high and when we are not face to face we can read someone’s words and intentions many ways. This too shall pass.
Thank you for having a place where we all can come together to support each other and vent if we need. Xoxo
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Oh Lord, SO much to say. Everyone in my family is still working outside the home. And the insidious shit surrounding all of those situations has me seeing red.
And today, two fuckers had the nerve to knock on my front door. No one ever knocks on my door. And NOW? Now is not the time, asswipes. I didn’t even bother answering the second time it happened.
People can’t get tests so are going to work sick because the douchebags they work for don’t care about anything but the bottom line. But any jackass in Congress or in the WH can get one with no symptoms. The rich and powerful want us to sacrifice our lives for the sake of their wallets. And they are so fucking stupid that they don’t get that with half the population out sick, or dead, there is no saving the economy.
I feel as though I live in a third world country. I don’t even recognize it anymore. We aren’t the greatest anything. We are fools.
Thanks, Trump and the deranged cultists who continue to bang the drum for him. Fuck you. And fuck the governors who refuse to put their own citizens first so they can keep the lips firmly planted on Trump’s giant ass. And fuck Liberty University who doesn’t want to refund college fees so is keeping college open. In this administration, NO LIVES MATTER.
Yeah, I didn’t do my yoga today. 🤯🤯🤯
My thoughts exactly just haven’t been able to express it all in words so thank you
Thank you, that was a very good vent. Ditto my dear. I’m pissed that my sister’s boss is making her go in and work and she lives with my mother. I am constantly worried that my sister is going to get sick.
Thank you!
AMEN!!
I am beyond angry at the orange one for touting hydroxychloroquinine as a miracle cure so that people like me who take it every day for lupus can no lo longer get it ANYWHERE!!!!!! Somehow people are hoarding it. Where are these moronic doctors that are prescribing it to people who don’t actually have auto-immune conditions?? I saw a tweet from a rheumatologist that was incensed because she discovered a local dentist had written a script for himself and all of his family members. Apparently, this isn’t allowed (prescribing outside of your field of practice) not to mention completely unethical. Now she has a pile of patients who can’t get their meds. UGHHHHH!!!
OH FUCK! All I knew was that it was killing people who SOMEHOW get it and don’t need it. I am so sorry. I saw that too. I’m so sorry people are just freaking out.
Thankfully, this particular drug is usually the first one prescribed when you are diagnosed with RA or Lupus. Once you get to the stage where either of these conditions can be life threatening (primarily kidney involvement) you would be on stronger drugs via infusion. So I don’t think anyone will die if they can’t take it. However, a lot of us will definitely feel like CRAP (even more so than usual) without it. I’m actually not sure what will happen when I stop taking it. Thankfully, I just filled my script and it’s a generic so there are multiple manufacturers so hopefully they will all ramp up production. Thanks for the concern!
I am an RA patient who currently has to go to the hospital for an infusion every month. Guess what’s not happening now. I live in Brooklyn, the hospital I go to is right next to NY Presbyterian where there are lots and lots of coronavirus patients. Hospital for Special Surgery does not want us to come anywhere near there. I’m thankful that they are watching out for us, but nervous about what not getting the infusion for awhile could do to me. It’s really pretty scary here, but boy, do i enjoy coming here to hear some good old fashioned reality show gossip. Tamara and you commentators make me smile in this crazy time. Thank you all and please stay healthy!!!
Now this, THIS makes me madder than ANYTHING else I’ve read or heard in a while. I hope you get the meds YOU — and others in your situation — need. Most people are just trying to do the best they can. So they make mistakes. Or scare people by not wearing masks. Or cry because there is no toilet paper. And cry again when I kindly (I hope they know it is meant out of kindness) point out to them, as they wheel by it, that tissue is square toilet paper in a box. And thank me 100 times for pointing that out. Because most of us have brains on overdrive. Or underdrive. But this, THIS is just entitled assholishness. This kind of behavior is why lots of people hate Americans.
Thanks so much!!! Agreed.
They need to STOP with the names of the drugs on tv – it’s absurd. So irresponsible! The malaria drug they are touting was show in a Chinese clinical trials to have the same result as non-drug intervention. Until the have results – AND have worked with drugs companies to increase production 10000x, they need to keep the drugs name out of the press. I feel like it’s amateur hour at these press briefings.
I hear you. I’m angry because, in spite of the fact that COVID19 is running rampant through Las Vegas, I have to leave the house and go to the office every day. Why, because by some stretch of someone’s imagination, the company I work for is considered “essential.” I’m angry today because a client who took a project away from us and refused to pay us for the work we did last year, contacted me today and asked how soon I could finish up his project. Of course he waited until all of the government agencies I need to utilize are closed to the public so I’ll have to jump through extra hoops for someone I truly hate. Top that off with having my boss jump on me about the fact that we didn’t finish this project in the first place and that I need to tell the client that he has to pay us what he owes us for me to finish the job now. Then my boss left the office for 3 hours to go to Costco and didn’t bother to ask if I needed anything. Whew, it feels good to vent. Sorry you’re having a rough time right now. I hope things get better and this nasty, virus is under control soon so we can all go back to our normal lives. Take care Tamara & everyone else on this site.
I am so sorry you are going through this. Stay strong.
Thanks, just taking things one day at a time and hoping for the best. Actually, hoping to find toilet paper when my neighbor drops me off at the grocery store on Friday. I don’t drive but my neighbors are like family to me so we’re taking care of each other.
When this is over … maybe look for a new boss. I had one like yours and it took me 12 YEARS to get back in good health. No job or money is worth it.
He’s normally a really decent guy. I’m not sure what’s gotten into him lately.
In that case, it’s different. Likely he is worried over lots of things. And you are nearby. And understanding. Bless your heart. Really, not sarcastically.
My boss, on the other hand, was one of those self-proclaimed “true” Christians. One with the fish bumper sticker. One who forbid his children to read “evil” Harry Potter. A “true Christian” who broke every promise he made to me. A “true Christian” who pushed our regular customers behind the work for his fellow church members to make himself look good. AFTER I watched him steal the company from the founder and his wife with MS who needed those health benefits. And who died the next year at 55.
It took a while, but, eventually, he went bankrupt. The rest of us said “Hallelujah! He is right. God IS just.”
Wow, may he rest in Hell. I’ve worked for a few nightmare bosses. The stress level was horrible but I generally outlasted them and watched them removed from the company. Faux Christians are my particular pet peeve.

I think the fear, helplessness and cabin fever is making everyone frustrated, not feel as if they have control of their lives, the amount of people dying every day and now fearing the future and when this will end is making everyone more stressed, anxious, and just not ourselves is very understandable at this point. But I do respect everything you have said TT. Keep up the good fight on your terms😃
I have a small penis.
see this is the kind of shit I get a million times a day. ON A NORMAL DAY THAT YOU DO NOT SEE.
Tamara…you are a strong woman…that tends to wear on people ❤️.
Wondering if it’s a happy or angry inch.
Spit take!
This is THE BEST thing I’ve read in … forever … unless it’s true.
Same! Omg it was so unexpected that I snorted and startled my fur kid. And the BEST retort. FFS, Bob, GO TO BED. GET A HOBBY. I think there is someone who loves to tweet who can likely relate to you. Pester him.
What is happening?
God I needed this laugh and yalls replies are the best! Lol!
I wish I was angry about something today.
Today I just feel scared and sad.
I can feel everyone slowly losing it around me.
The wind is howling on empty streets.
I really don’t think life will ever be the same and I’m shook.
I just want to say thanks for your rant, Tamara… it made me chuckle.
it made me feel like there is still life out there.
You are fantastic human and funny and helpful.
Sending love from The Bay Area.
I had to go to the feed store and Wal-Mart today for pet food. My roommate hasn’t left the house in 10 days. So she hasn’t seen the gradual change. Ghost gas stations. No homeless outside the CVS. An empty park on a nice day before another storm.
We trade handmade dog leashes and horse halters at the feed store. We always call first to make sure it’s not real busy. Our guy met us outside today — for our protection from some fucktards inside.
Wal-Mart fucktards: I watched as streams of people wearing masks for THEIR protection walked right on by the hand sanitizer wipes. Put their hands on the viral carts. Touched their faces 45 million times. It’s hard to stop touching our faces, we are genetically programmed to do so. (I am learning a lot during the Time of Coronavirus.) They get in their cars, take off their masks and touch their faces. THAT’S how you get the virus. Not from the air. Darwin must be having a good old time.
If you are isolated…how do you know so much information?
Two days out in the last six. I shop for others too, pick up their meds. Only INSIDE one store for pet food (Wal-Mart), one store for people food (Trader Joe’s). TJ sanitizes carts before and after each use. Only lets in 30 people, 5 at a time. Taped off at 6 feet for inside and outside lines. I stay very safe when I leave. I wash my hands often always, so I have that habit. Driving by other places you can learn and see a lot.
Yes!! Those wearing gloves, handling money, then handling grocery bags, then pushing hair out of their faces…more harm than good, unfortunately.
I’m angry that so many people are thinking they are isolated‼️
#INTERNET
Chewy is taking one week instead of one or two days. Animals need to eat. People need their meds NOW. I shop for others — one person goes out so others can stay home. We are five houses of Bay Area expats, old people. The others are scared. Scared people should not drive. And sometimes you need to. A walk from the house to the car and staying in the car is isolation. No one from outside sneezes inside our car. Only I get out. I don’t know where you live, but in Calif., we are allowed to walk in parks and sidewalks, just not to congregate or use the monkey bars. We were the first state to lock down. Our governor rocks.
I don’t know why but all this time coming here and reading your comments I always thought you lived in North Carolina! Funny how our imagination fills in the blanks when we don’t know the facts! ❤️
So funny. I’ve never been to the South, but I want to. I used to file time cards for a large company. Before digital. I would imagine what the people looked like. Often, I was pretty close. Except for Jewel S. Most likely, a black woman of the age when Jewel was most used. NOPE! A middle-aged white country boy as funny as could be. Everyone knew him as Jay. I never gave away his “secret” name. We became great friends and I told him what I imagined. I asked if he were “mama’s little jewel.” Yep.
It’s like reading a book before seeing a movie and how we think the book is better than the movie! They forgot to take into consideration my colorful imagination and personal interpretations!
I’m a Florida Cracker but I’m not a true Southern. My parents moved here in the late 50’s.
When I was young we use to live in Mississippi during the summer months. When I read The Help and then saw the movie, I thought they did a great job depicting the 60’s in the South as I remember it.
I have an image of what all the regulars look like. But I’m sure I would be shocked to see anyone in person! Lol
Too bad we didn’t have a “class photo” of everyone. Tamara could be in the spot there the teacher used to be and Banjo as the principal. Or switched.

Just wanted to say your work is amazing. You website got me through my pregnancy, got me through the hell of the last Australian summer whereby me and baby were inside for several months bc of the mega fire and the inability for either of us to breathe safely out side and it’s getting me through the lockdown too. I’m sorry you’ve been stressed and your neighbours aren’t taking the pandemic seriously and I wanted to also say thank you for your insightful and often times entertaining as hell content ❤️
Your* xx
First of all I was trying not even log in today but the site has been under lots of attacks so I logged in ontly to make sure we were all safe here. And we are,
Secondly, I read comments via email and they often come with no context. So I was hoping to go to see whose work was amazing. Because I could use some amazing today.
I think you mean me. And so now I am crying. And it is not because I am drinking the bourbon Marietta Mommy gave me today. or maybe it is. But thank you.
I am definitely talking about you Tamara, thank you for your work, you make life a lot more bearable for me all the way over in south east coast Australia ❤️
This was Posted on Facebook with pics and cheering.
This is ATL, cheering for the healthcare workers at change of shift. Every night for the past three nights. My friend said they are doing this in France too ❤️😭😭
Yep set to go in 30 minutes.
I am not American and I want to vote the Orange One out which is why I added him to my new
Coron – A-sshole list.
Can anyone legally adopt a 56 year old Irish woman so I can vote please????
Sorry everyone I need to check out from Tamara Tattles until next week please do not take offence, you are all in my thoughts however this crazy week that you Guys are going through is Ground Hog day for me.
I will leave you all with my final Coron-i -diot, 12 days into Lock down and a 77 year old guy from Madrid was given a €600 fine for being out at 2am catching Pogamons. WTF!!!
The police in Spain are so fed up with Coron-idiots they are naming and shaming then posting the fine information daily.
Love to all xx
Please don’t leave us
Come back soon, tuatha12!!
We now mute those daily coronavirus briefings until a medical person speaks. If you still believe Trump has this under control there is no hope. I’m pissed. I’m sick and pissed. Still no test in my area, ppl are dying and no one is saying let’s go back to work for the economy!
I can safely rant here. I get it we are to be staying away from people and social distancing. My son’s family has 7 people I’m really sick of his neighbors calling the cops because him and his gf take the 5 kids outside to play in their own back yard. These have been neighbors for a year, there are a total of 7 people in his house. They are allowed to go outside and play in their own dern yard!
The poor cops are overworked and then get these stupid calls. Playing outdoors helps keep kids (and mom and dad) mentally and physically healthy. Especially in THEIR OWN YARD. Contained spaces are the most dangerous. Misinformation is dangerous. People still think germs are floating around in the air. This ain’t TB, folks. Wash your hands with SOAP AND WATER and don’t touch your face. 🌞🌻
And the marriages? How are you all faring with the loved ones in lock up?
My son, a junior in college, is home and pissed off and bringing the whole vibe down. My husband, who is the great peacemaker, never stands up and tells him, “Knock it off,” My husband likes to “talk things through” when I just want him to step in and say STOP.
Anywho, I have taken a 48 hour vow of silence, so I don’t kill someone with my tongue.
My husband has always worked from home, so he is always here — and did I mention “here” is a very little cabin in the woods where no one can hear you scream? Now my son is here. Now I MUST stay here and can’t go to work at the college — my office there WAS my sanctuary.
25 years in and this is no fun at all. I MUST get dressed and zoom in with the provost today. After that I might just go back to bed. Is this depression?
I’d take any advice I could get.
Sending good vibes to you all.
It is cold and flurries here in upstate NY — I hope someone has daffodils.
Not depression. Self care. Sometimes, we need to cocoon. If you need to DO something, I highly recommend knitting. (Unless you are Katie Maloney-Schwartz!) You can learn on YouTube and buy everything online. Eat.Sleep.Knit dot com. JimmyBeans dot com. Ravelry dot com is a huge stitching community. Knitting is therapeutic (scientifically proven) AND you get a “prize” at the end.
🌷As close as I can come to giving you daffodils.
I thought marriage was social distancing……lol j/k
Anywho, I have taken a 48 hour vow of silence, so I don’t kill someone with my tongue.
I was trying to do this with you fucktards and it seems I just can’t quit you.
Early on in this I thanked Hipster boy for his tree that I watch bloom every fucking day from my window. I threw a bag in his yard with $100 and a pint of ben and Jerrys. yes I am sort of a drunken old lady in the hood. He thanked me for the ice cream. But said he could not take the money. And I was like guess you have to flush it down the toilet or something then.
Hipster boy who lives alone put his canoe on his truck and left for a few days. He is back now. I want to go leave him a care package or something. Maybe toilet paper? lol.
4paz, you’ve very much described me! So I think it’s a low-level, manageable depression. My family is irritating me and I was enjoying leaving for 2 half days, but now my school has stopped that. Which is wise. I’m on the MS-Lou line, so our daffodils and jonquils have been up and azaleas have come and gone. In the 80s today. Hang in there.
I miss school. We’ve moved to online classes this week, but I’m afraid that I don’t have the tech at home to support that. I’m also worried about the summer semester, I was going to take a few courses to speed up my degree/transfer. Now that’s all up in the air. I’m up by Boston where it’s just getting worse and my pediatrician’s office is closed now. They were just adjusting my medications and now because of this all, that’s on the back burner. I’m also worried about my parents and friends, I had to house the neighbor’s daughter because they kicked her out during this, because she was dating another girl.
It just feels like I’m getting hit from all sides. First the corporate restructuring takes my job, then my breakup, medication, covid 19, now all this. I just need to remind myself to keep going, if my grandparent’s survived two world wars, the Spanish flu, and a depression, I got this.
Since I’m indefinitely out from college, I’m going to go back go working at a hospital. It’s scary, but they need the help now more than ever and I need the money.
I hope everyone’s well! Thank you TT, this blog has been entertaining me daily since high school, it’s got me through a lot of tough times ❤
Stay well. I admire your willingness to serve on the front lines. Blessings to you.
You are strong AND you come from strong stock. When the “older, nonbuff” Beekman Boys won the Amazing Race, they said the mental part was way more difficult than the physical. It was the travails they faced after the dive of 2008 that gave them the mental fortitude to win the race. And build a multimillion dollar company from a little herd of goats! You have that same potential — your attitude shows that.
My milestone birthday is coming up and I will be alone with my dog in my apartment. At least I get to have that birthday because when I went to Kobe Bryant’s farewell all I could think about is that Vanessa never gets to have brithdays with Kobe or G. So enjoy what I am enjoying: https://www.boredpanda.com/birthday-party-during-coronavirus-lockdownss
Just let the dog be your Piglet. I have a Piglet dog. She just wants doggie treats and some attention.
This too shall pass.
Oh, and Orange Man 2020!
APG, you just described my dog! She lives for her treats and the only thing I can do to distract her from begging for treats is to sit on the floor with her to cuddle.
OMG, Nanette, that class photo idea is the best.
TT, please delete if this is unnecessary.
Do not ever use fish or pet meds for humans. The fillers and the very medicine are not manufactured to human standards. As a fish pro, I will attest that companies do not make these meds for human use.
I quit the NextDoor app when I was reported. People were posting homemade hand sanitizer recipes. I reminded people that handwashing with good old soap and water works. Cause I am an old fogey. I suppose I was also reported because I said we were in tornado season and SHOULD already have some plans in place if we could not get out.
And I am angry. Really, stupidly angry. “Friends” who have numerous high risk health issues keep running off to Costco for grapes and rotisserie chicken, then texting me about it. I had to quit dealing with them. But it makes me so sad that a 20 year friendship will probably end over this. They have high risk grandkids they care for every week. Another friend is posting all the unnecessary places he goes every day. Seeing the ugly side of people I know drives me bats.
I may be totally wrong with my understanding of information given or ranted to us by the orange face one but if China has been dealing with the virus longer than we have maybe they are closer to a containment solution or cure than anyone else. If so why would he be vocal about placing blame. Why piss China off? I would think that working together could only benefit the entire population of the world. Solve the problem and then if your overinflated ego is in such a need to be the hero and blame someone for something that most of us still can’t comprehend totally, knock yourself out. Don’t tease a leashed dog, only to find out his leash is long enough to bite you in the ass.
Nanette- I think TT and Cho would be prom queen and king in the yearbook photos.
What really had me po’d is Mike Pence refusing the W.H.O.’s virus tests because they weren’t american.
Pence always has such a blank look on his face.
Orange is the new black plague. What an asshole. There’s not enough anal bleach in the world to whitewash his behavior. Leaves me blue he cannot understand this is the time of code red and he doesn’t see the full spectrum.
My husband has one of the essential jobs….I am a crisis responder….so we both have to leave the house. Mine isn’t so bad, if I get called in I go to the office and we do temperatures at door prior to entering, we hand out masks as well as hand sanitizer and each person has to answer a medical questionnaire. I go to office, come straight home since I have COPD my husband is the one who is doing the essential shopping. Where we live it isn’t spreading as rapidly as it is in Fulton, Cobb and DeKalb County….my husband however works in Cobb next to a huge Amazon warehouse delivery site. My concern is much more for him and I pray every day he remains his strong and amazing self. Hoping to see a Mafs recap that would lighten the mood.
I HATE this. I’m so scared, sad, and anxious. I did drink tonight despite my best efforts. My Mom is 60 and immunocompromised. She’s all I have left and I’m also quarantined with her. I’m afraid if one of us catches it what will happen to the animals. I trust absolutely no one with them except for my mom. Every day it keeps getting worse. I wish this was all a bad nightmare and I am keeping you all in my prayers as I know this is an awful time for everyone.
Yeah but we are all still here.
Yes and I’m so thankful! I really love you all like family here.
The last day I was at work was my birthday, St. Patrick’s Day. The next day we were told me could stay home without pay and not be fired or continue to work. The day after that someone in the office said she came in contact with the virus while traveling, after that we are told to stay home with pay. It’s been over a week now but I’m still nervous.
My governor is up the orange one’s butt. So it’s the same ignorance and inaction. Business as usual, folks. I know this virus has got to be raging here. My oldest teen aggravated because I won’t “let” him meet friends. Another mom texted me asking how I got him to comply. If he wants me to continue paying most of his bills, he’d be an idiot not to.
Just saw some great news given our current situation… HBO is opening up pretty much everything for FREE 🤑 starting NOW 😁
I’m watching McMillions as I type and I may actually watch the Sopranos this time around. If you’ve never watched Six Feet Under do it now, great show!
