Here is a list ten of things I worry about.
- Kelly Loeffer a paid for moron who Trump made a senator.
- Trump
- The pandemic and the fact I will die if I get it because I am a horrible person who smokes.
- MURDER HORNETS who could kill me at any moment when I leave the house.
- GIANT LIZARDS. This is apparently exclusive to Georgia. I swear every time I turn on the TV it’s something new. I didn’t even need to know this. I have actually called children off the sidewalk to please get the lizard off my screen door when I was kind of saner and totally sober. I DO NOT NEED FOUR FEET LONG LIZARDS. I AM NOT MAKING THIS SHIT UP.
- Banjo is trying to fucking die on me. He can barely get up the stairs from the back yard. I want to take him to the park!
- REALLY weird weather. I’ve been in the tornado shelter two or three times since this shit started. Now we are going to get a tropical storm or a hurricane.
- The IRS I was doing my own taxes and I just don’t have enough brain cells for that now. My tax folks last year got it wrong. I think I am going to just sent them five dollars and let them sent me a fucking bill. They always seem to know what I owe them. I don’t even want to figure it out.
- The website. It’s tanking. Should I apply for that small business loan? Unemployment? I dunno. The loans are having tragic consequences for people. And am I really unemployed?
- Will my liver give out? Will I ever get to a dentist that I was supposed to go see before this? Will I spend the rest of my life as an alcoholic? How do I write my will? Can the Libyan Embassy come get my Libyan (probably illegal) shit how do I send now?
Bonus round. I AM SO SICK OF THIS SHIT. That bitch in Spain made me got to bed and miss RHOBH. I’ll get to it eventually. I am learning that I can just do the best I can do. I really NEED the fucking therapy pool. In the meantime, I am going to get drunk and say stupid shit. i am going to lose readers. I have lost readers But I am going to do whatever the fuck I want to do. The one thing I CAN DO is live whatever is left of my life on my own terms.
Do any of you just not give a shit anymore? I just need to sleep for like a month. THEN I WILL TAKE ON HONEY BADGER! lol
Right there with you re: #3.
(Well…also numbers 1 and 2. The difference with those is that there is something we CAN do…which is to make double sure our voter registrations are valid and to vote in November.)
Something I’ve learned is that worrying doesn’t solve anything and just begets more worrying.
All I can do is take the recommended precautions against the virus and hope for the best. When my mind wanders into “what if…” territory, I force myself to stop…sometimes I’ll say, “stop!” out loud.
Then I go have a cigarette 😉😘
YOU SHOULD BE AFRAID OF MURDER HORNETS AND FOUR FOOT LONG LIZARDS! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? Let’s go out for a smoke and talk about everyone else. Back when I worked in an office, the smokers has ALL THE TEA.
That hasn’t changed!
And yes, let’s do! I’m always ready to…uh…
talk shit about everybodydiscuss the latest memo from corporate.See you out back in about 15 minutes! 🚬 😉
I swear I waited to quit smoking until I was out of corporate America because the smokers know it ALL! We would trade dirt on everything and everyone 😎
As far as the hornets go that’s just our fucked up media and their tabloid headlines TRYING to scare you. Don’t take the bait! There were like two found in the northwest corner of Washington state.
I don’t smoke. But I used to go with the smokers on their break at least once a week. It was the most fun time and people.
Umm those lizards are insane wtf goes on in the south?! Sorry LA city girl here. Hang in there! Three hours of Survivor tonight thrilled me but I’m already worried about not having it to look forward to next Wednesday.
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!!! How can we support you??
This isolation stuff has me thinking about community. I’m not the chattiest commenter but I read everyone else’s and this is one of the few places I feel like I fit in. Thank you Tamara.
You are doing it right now. And thank you for not spoiling anything. I just need to know you are out there. and take a look around the site!
I’m here too, TT and not going anywhere. I do check your site several times a day cuz as I’ve noted before yours is the only one I follow. I wish there was more I could do but I hope this pledge of allegiance to you and your site helps just a little bit.
Just coming to echo the above sentiments!!
I think watching the news makes things worse because all we are hearing are bad reports on everything. Have you tried avoiding the news to see if that helps? Maybe try it for 3 days to see if your anxiety lessens. Isolation and constant bad information coming in would be difficult for anyone.
I read that smokers are more likely to survive, so suck on that cigarette. You can check off murder hornets on your apocalypse card. Looks like you’re in for hurricanes, on our side it’ll be fires.
The curse is may you live in interesting times. It’s getting a bit too interesting.
Well I was not going to say THE H word. I have this amazing pair of Where’s Waldo men’s PJs coming on friday if I live that long. and I already have a new bathrobe. I do not have a washer and dryer so clean items are getting scare. I really needed that pool to be open. I still don’t understand why I can’t just pay all the things and have my therapy pool. I know I sound privileged. I AM NOT. I just fucking need the pool to open. Take my house, I’ll mortgage anything, JUST OPEN THE GODDAMN POOL I JUST NEED AN HOUR9or two) A DAY. I will pay everyone Okay I am shutting up now. BUT I MEAN IT IS JUST SITTING THERE EMPTY!
Okay maybe I sound a bit privileged. But I would literally schedule an hour a day to go.
BTW SO NOT TRUE. Smokers are the ones dying.
You must have missed that memo. Go google “coronavirus and nicotine”.
Suzy, sorry but idk where you’re getting your news, but us nasty smokers are definitely going to die if we get it. The WHO has already debunked that ridiculous article that is floating around. It’s also just common sense. YES, I’m fully aware what smoking does to the lungs as myself and my entire family are current or retired healthcare providers and I don’t practice what I preach and I’m a hypocrite but it is what it is. JS
Sorry, TT. Hope I didn’t add to your worries but we both know we’re fucked in this regard. AND WE DONT NEED ANY ANTI SMOKING OR JUST QUIT COMMENTS!
FFS 🙄
IJC, sorry but idk where you’re getting your news, but WHO did not debunk that idea. From WHO last week after a statement about the overall health risks of smoking added, “WHO is constantly evaluating new research, including research that examines the link between tobacco use, nicotine use, and COVID-19. “. Also, last week the NYU School of Public Health published an article, after making note of the known health risks from smoking, they stated, “So it seems reasonable that smokers would also be at greater risk for complications related to COVID-19 — but it turns out that association is not as straightforward as initially thought.” and “Nicotine could maintain or restore the function of this anti-inflammatory system, controlling the release of inflammatory cytokines and preventing or suppressing the cytokine storm and the accompanying acute respiratory distress.
Based on this hypothesis, researchers in France have initiated clinical trials of nicotine, delivered via a skin patch, with patients hospitalized with COVID-19 as well as the health care staff who care for them. Such studies will tell us whether nicotine conveys possible benefits.”
We’ll know more once the studies are completed.
You typed the magic word… HYPOTHESIS. And the study would need more participants and take years to prove or disprove. It’s anecdotal at best and not scientifically significant. It is also for nicotine patches, not current smokers. Therefore, irresponsible to propagate.
I’m not trying to get in a pissing match but I stand by my statements. I am well versed in ID and how the trials work, even in a pandemic.
Suzy, you do realize big tobacco is behind any claim regarding the “benefits” of nicotine, right? This Wuhan virus is bringing them lots of new customers.
Sorry, but I have “you’re all gonna die” in my head while grocery shopping. And so, I’m like smoke, drink, go mad. I have no idea what is true.
Same….I’m more lost in my head than ever…
It’s going to be okay. Hang in there and slap yourself around a little bit. Stop fretting. You are making it worse.
You are correct. What business do I have being afraid of a global pandemic, or an invasion of murder hornets or an invasion of five foot long lizards. OR BEING ALONE THROUGH ALL OF THIS SHIT! Are you my brother? How the fuck am I making it worse? Go die in a fucking fire and take my brother with you.
ENOUGH: You are bang out of order with that comment to CoolMama.
Stop the self sabotaging.
Whatever bee you have going on in your bonnet with your family and specifically your brother, is being vented at the wrong person.
Email Me if you want and explain, Block Me if you want. Your Choice
OMG we have another Jax on our hands.
Spare me the ‘calm down, relax, chill’ folks. Come on. Do you realize how insulting that is? This stress effect on our mindset and health is a REAL THING. Stories abound about the allostatic load, where unrelieved chronic stress is cumulative and it looks different for different people.
So, we need to be VERY forgiving and a lot less judgmental. Lecturing someone on how to handle this or negatively assessing her coping strategies is not helpful. I understand Tamara’s need to GET IN THE POOL to relieve some of the load. Those endorphins want and need to come out. For me, and I am sure many others, being outside and/or physical activity lifts some of the heavy burden and gives us strength to face another day.
No lecture, No negatively, just a little tough love,
Mucho Merlot, lack of sleep/food creates more stress and regret.
Sorry Katherine,You do not wish death on anyone. PERIOD
We are allowed to be arse holes but we stick together, we support each other and we call each other out on shit when that person is as nissed as a newt
Tu – She didn’t wish death on anyone. You have no idea what you are talking about, and are starting to remind me of a certain poster here from years ago who enjoyed cats. Why don’t you share your personal essay again on ships and boats? 😉
Too much pasta?
@Katherine 2.0: TT said to coolmamma Go die in a fucking fire and take my brother with you.
TT did not wish death on anyone?? She was direct to the point with coolmamma.
She is scared and frightened and emailed me yesterday in regard to a family matter so I beg to differ with you, she vented at the wrong person.
In regard to posters and cats I have no idea what you are talking about so on that point you are CORRECT.
Stay safe.
tuatha12 you are so right. We can’t turn on each other we all have fears but if we start turning on each other some of us has nowhere else to go
Bless you, You called it, and expressed it better than me.
If it helps you at all, I’m freaking out as well. I’ve pretty much lost whatever left there was of my mind and I’m also a smoker who has doubled her consumption since being made to work from home. I worry every day that this is just the beginning of the end. Money is running out and I have two grown sons that are living with me and currently unemployed. My husband has COPD, has been cut to two days a week and I still haven’t received any stimulus or unemployment for husband’s loss of hours!!! WTF!
I think she is trying to say that by going over the same thing and everyone agreeing is creating a feeding frenzy of crazy. Telling her to “go die in a fucking fire” is bullshit. Way over the top for her comment. This is not the place to give an opinion or suggestion without getting creamed.
I lap swim 4-5 times/wk for years and my Y is closed. I would kill to get it open but that isn’t going to happen. So find something else to get the same feeling. Walk or there are tons of workouts on youtube. I wonder how many more comments there would be if they didn’t think they would get this kind of response ? But I don’t give a shit if I am blocked
Bad Bitch in Spain wants to know when was the last time you ate?
I mean.. . there was a day I did AND IT WAS SPANISH FOOD I swear to God. Fancy shit from Jose Andres site. LIKE RICH PEOPLE FOOD. I mean like some other day than today or yesterday or THIS QUESTION IS DIFFICULT.
I need a bad bitch in Spain reminding me to eat, sleep etc. LoL
TT I don’t have any great words of wisdom and comfort. I’m sorry you are having such a horrible time. I’m glad you have some support even if it’s not the family. What good is a rich, gay, imaginary husband if you cant buy pool time? 😉
Yo, bad bitch from Spain 😂,
I fucked up amounts on recipe on other thread so please go back and check out my correction.
Tuatha you’re great btw
Thanks, really appreciated.
I also found that article interesting in regard to nicotine patches via the French, however early days.
I vaguely remember reading about it a few weeks back.
Hope all is well with you and yours.
I think the Irish Mammy in me took over, TT may not allow me to adopt her now.
I will cook you Spanish food ( pheasant food ) when you finally come a calling!!
Who ever is gonna die in this shit is who is gonna die, sorry, I accepted I’m gonna die by the hand of my stalker years ago. Really big bonus of this mess is he’s easy to spot when he wanders by my house and police have been quick to respond. Big deal he got arrested for breaking the restraining order yet again and is looking at 3 years this time but courts are still closed here so he’s out on bail awaiting court…I’m really sick of his shit, can he just get it so my life can try to return to normal? I been sheltering in my dam house since 2005 and I’m tired!! I have 6 grand babies and a new one due this winter at some point before my grand kids have kids I’d love to be able to walk outside without being freaking armed to the gills! Guess the bonus is I been preparing for the pandemic since 2005. Sorry just sick of someone controlling my life and don’t tell me to just move I can’t…elderly mother I take care of is next door. Don’t tell me not to worry about him…police and several mental health people tell me I need to worry about him. My pool should be open in 2 weeks if you want to come north and swim.
I accepted I’m gonna die by the hand of my stalker years ago. Really big bonus of this mess is he’s easy to spot.
Softly Softly Catchy Monkey,
I accept that you are a smart intelligent feisty arse kicking woman who is now fully aware that patience is a virtue and the dog will be taken to the pound, unless you have to put him down first.
Reason: Years ago has been and gone and you are still here being open, honest and real.
I accept that your stalker will soon be physically gone and you will be hugging your grand babies
So Mote It Be.
I salute you!!
I may not always comment but I’m here several times a day. Sometimes I add a few words but currently can’t get deep with my own thoughts to be able write much. Thanks to you and all your followers for giving me something to read.
I’m typically the silver lining advice giver but I’m burnt out and need someone else to lift me up for a change! I don’t want this “new normal,” I want my life back before this pandemic! I didn’t mind the break from the real world and looked at the time off as a sabbatical but now I’m beginning to worry and it’s getting the best of me.
There, I said it! Now I’ll Take a shower, put a smile on my face and start a new day! Rainbows, sunshine and happiness everyone!
Regarding #1, Trump actually wanted Doug Collins appointed to the Senate seat and our governor actually went against Trump by appointing Loeffler. But yes, since her appointment she has done everything in her power to get and remain in Trump’s good graces, and yes, I think she is scary. Now Collins is running against her for that Senate seat, so there is the possibility that we can get rid of both of them.
I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time with things. I also check here quite often but I rarely comment because I’m always late to the party and being the 80-somethingth commenter just doesn’t seem to get much accomplished. (No one ever sees or responds to anything when you’re that late to the party so I just read and then read all the comments and call it a day.)
I really feel for you with Banjo right now. My ONE moment of peace and calm came on my daily walks with my pup. I could feel good about being outside, but away from anyone breathing or spreading their cooties on me because I live in a tiny bedroom community where it’s still possible to go for a walk and not see another person. Or at least only see someone who’s walking on the other side of the street and thus too far away for me to care if they happen to sneeze. Then all that was shattered when my 11lb dog was attacked and shaken like a rag dog by a 50lb Norwegian Elkhound. I didn’t know if he would survive the attack, then I didn’t know if he would survive the surgery he needed, then I didn’t know if he would recover from the surgery.
Now my days are filled with worry and fear as I try to nurse my terribly wounded dog back to health. My days of walking peacefully are over; I have to carry him outside to relieve himself every 4-6 hours. I wake up nervous and spend the rest of the day with my nerves jangling the way they do when I would sit in my Dentist’s Waiting Room prior to a wisdom tooth extraction. Yes, my nerves are THAT BAD.
But he’s alive. And he IS healing. And for that I must be thankful. And patient. And hopeful that he WILL recover.
Please kiss Banjo for me.
What a horrible thing to have to go through, especially right now. Thinking of you and your pup and hope healing comes swiftly ❤️
And even if there’s no reply I bet your comments always get read 😊
Thank you so much for that. I am quarantined with my Mom right now and don’t see much of anyone else so you have no idea how nice it is to hear from someone else that they’re hoping for the best for us.
Thanks again and stay safe!
Any news on your pup? That must have been horrifying. Banjo is waiting for me to feed him but he didn’t eat his food from yesterday.
My heart breaks for your puppy😢 I will keep him in my prayers. Please keep us posted on his progress!
Please keep those prayers going! And thank you so much for keeping him in your prayers !! I don’t want to hog up TT’s space with updates on my pupper but I SOOOO appreciate the thought!! 💕💕
Please stay safe and stay well!!
I miss all my fur babies. I need to shower and go do treatments at work but I have zero motivation, zero. Maybe someday we can get tested so I can go home. A girl can dream.
Prayers for you and your precious pup!
Is the email you use here your real email? If not can you email me at tamaratattles on the gmail?
Thank you very much for keeping us in your prayers. It’s so easy to feel alone whilst sheltering in place. Please take care of yourself and stay safe! 💕
How is your pup? I cannot imagine how frightening that must have been. Sending prayers for you and your little dog. xo
it’s good to know i’m not the only one losing it. if i hear we’re all in this together one more time, i just might fight a motherfucker
Right? I hate all these TV commercials that are suppose to make us feel better, but the reason I’m watching TV is to forget about it!
If they don’t stop with the effing ‘uplifting’ commercials, I am going to LOSE IT. Let me watch trash TV in peace. Please and thank you.
This!!!!!!!
Omg THIS! And they keep showing all the happy families/couples quarantined together. What about the dysfunctional ones who are ready to murder each other or heaven forbid they show one of us old ladies all by ourselves! Ugh
How about these companies take the money it costs to make and air (100x day) these commercials to a small business fund. They can tell us all about their generosity on Twitter for free.
Oh…this burns me. I especially hate luxury car commercials telling me how much they care. Ugh, step off please.
Oh I’m with you girlfriend! Makes me crazy hearing from celebrities that we are all in this together. Shut up!
Me too …..
We are NOT in this together when you (famous celebrities!!) have unlimited funds to order anything you want online.
We are not all in this together when you can afford to pay 25 bucks for half a dozen cute, custom made masks whilst the rest of us struggle to come up with 5 bucks for a single, washable mask.
We are not all in this together when you have a whole other wing of your house, not to mention Guest Quarters to Shelter in Place…and the rest of us live in tiny apartments with no room to get away from each other.
We are not all in this together when you have nannies and teachers and chefs and folks “on staff”… whilst the rest of us are struggling to do our kids’ 5th grade math homework while also trying to cook dinner at the same time.
We are not all in this together when you can order a bouncy house delivered to your home whilst the rest of us struggle to get our kids through the day with nothing more exciting than a bunch of paper grocery bags and set of crayons.
We are not all in this together when you can play movies in your own personal screening room whilst the rest of us try to distract our kids with a couple of episodes of Law and Order SUV.
Celebrities! They’re just like us! Except when they’re not.
So true, please keep us posted on the puppy and yourself to..
You and yours are in my thoughts.
Thank you so much for caring about me and my pupper! Please take care of yourself and stay safe. 💕
Carson, thank you for this amazing and very true post! Stay healthy, safe, and as sane as possible <3
Thank you so very much for that! 💕
Agreed with everything. I’m losing it. Cried over a fucking Golgen Girls jigsaw puzzle.
Smoking like a chimney. Scared of everything and pissed at myself for being lazy and not doing things that brought me joy when I had the chance. Gone from eating food/meals to Scooby sized snacks and I look like Daryl the caveman from those insurance commercials. Blue Angels flew over yesterday and bitter betty just got irritated. Peace and love friend.
Thank you for this. I needed to know that someone else is in the middle of a breakdown and looks like a homeless person. I have done NOTHING productive. As a matter of fact, the house is worse than before the pandemic.
No Ktina you are not alone. Woke up today and actually had to wonder for a second what day it was. It’s Friday. Big fucking woohoo. Xoxo
It was Friday? And I missed it? Going back to bed. Saturday is my day off.
I miss smoking. There is nothing like the Sunday New York Times and a pot of coffee and a pack of smokes.
Meh, the lizards don’t bother me. The SNAKES FREAK ME OUT!!!!!!
Right! Big snakes scare me but black racers and little lizards don’t freak me out at all. They are all over in the yard.
But towns nearby have the monitor lizards and large iguanas that terrorize home owners! That would seriously freak me out!
Thank God for St Patrick he drove all the snakes out of Ireland.
Snakes are my Kryptonite,
Can you put back up a link to donate to the site again like you had a few years ago? I know I have looked for it to donate again. This site gives me better therapy than my therapist, so I’d rather give YOU the money.
Tamra. I wonder sometimes if we are the same person. Alabama sucks. Isolation sucks, I’m chain smoking all day; as my business has ground to a halt. I applied for one of those loans. I don’t qualify for unemployment since I’m self employed. I wasn’t approved because funding ran out. Hoping there’s another round of funding for those of us that run true small businesses. I know someone (a friend of my Dad’s) that got multiples. He owns franchise casual dining restaurants you’ve all heard of and claims (per my Dad) that business is more profitable than ever for him. His overhead is lower because he’s not staffing a dining room or clearing and cleaning dishes, he has less food waste because people aren’t sending things back to the kitchen, and he’s not comping nearly as much stuff as he would to keep someone in his dining rooms happy. He has over 250 employees between 10 or so restaurants but managed to get a stimulus small business loan for most of them because they are all set up as separate companies. I’m hemorrhaging money, and the stock market has swallowed most of the life insurance money I got when my husband died. I thought about an annuity, but decided to invest instead.
Tornados suck, the new trend of reporting possible tornadoes for days in advance is wearing on me. Trump is an asshole bought and paid for by cronies, who tell him what to do, and he does it; unless there’s a way to do it that benefits himself more.
On the bright side; I got in to the dentist finally, which was much needed (loose crown) and overdue (it was scheduled for the day after the governor closed dentists for anything except extreme emergencies. I will say the entire experience was surreal. It felt like visiting someone on death row. Wait in car until we come get you. Wear your own mask from car to building or we won’t see you at all. Once inside I was told to sanitize then wash my hands while a hygienist watched. Then told to remove my mask and swish for sixty seconds (and it was the longest sixty seconds ever) with mouthwash that tastes like 80s hairspray. Spit, then sanitize again, and straight to the chair. There are two pods in the office with four hygiene chairs each. Then there’s a pod with two procedure chairs. Every chair is usually full. Today it was me in one Hygiene pod, an older gentleman in the other and a guy in the procedure pod. Here’s hoping you get in soon. Healthy teeth are a cornerstone to a healthy life and we smokers need every advantage we can get.
Hi Tamara, not sure if this would be helpful for Banjo, but Dr.Buzby’s toe grips have made all the difference in the world for my 15 yr old guy who has degenerative disc disease. His mobility had been seriously limited, and while he’s not winning a race anytime soon, it has vastly improved his quality of life. Also a big fan of golden paste (tumeric, ground pepper and coconut oil) which I add into his food 3x a week to help with inflammation. I also started doing 5 mins of morning stretching and light massage on his legs and along spine to improve circulation – not sure if Banjo would be up for it, but my guy seems to really enjoy it, and has a little extra pep in the mornings since I started.
KB-you are an AMAZIGNG & wonderful fur mama 🐾
When my 22 year-old kitty Leo had such bad knee arthritis he could barely walk, I gave him “Tumeric Gold” drops from Amazon and he was like a 14 year old again lol. I wish I would have thought of the stretching & massage- he would have LOVED it (although I did pet him constantly!). Leo’s been gone almost two years now, and even though we adopted 2 mature shelter cats, I still have his blanket & Tumeric bottle in my bedroom.
RIP my sweet, soulful, wise & wonderful boy 💔💔💔
Oh KB-this is Leo’s picturen 💕🐾
Thank you! I’m so sorry for your loss. He had beautiful eyes- he looks soulful!
22? OMG! Amazing! I’m jelly. Lost my Simon at 19 this past September (he’s my avatar too). His ashes are literally right next to me as I’m in bed now. I didn’t have him with me when I first entered quarantine. I moved his urn box at some point when I was planning to go to my folks, and forgot where he was. Several weeks into quarantine I went back to my condo to get mail, etc., and he was on our favorite love seat. 🙂 I’ve been sleeping better with him in my bedroom here at my folks. Sounds crazy, I know. I’m thinking of finding a jeweler who will put him in a ring or necklace for me, or both.
I’m kind of wishing I could get my hands on a couple of shelter kittens right now, even though I said I wanted to wait at least a year. Now would be the perfect time to get my parents’ lab used to kittens being around (My folks were often my cat sitter – they had one golden retriever that Simon was OBSESSED with.
I kind of want to try that golden paste.Does it work on humans too?
Yes, it does work for humans as well. Tumeric is an anti inflammatory, and ground black pepper helps the body absorb the curcumin. I add 1/4 tsp to my tea or oatmeal daily. After I whip up a batch, I keep it stored in the refrigerator.
I HATE how scared the media has made people of the “murder hornets.” THEY MURDER BEES. They attack bees and tear their heads off. It’s bad because we need bees, but they very rarely sting people. When they do sting people it supposedly hurts like a mthrfkr but unless you have an allergy it isn’t life-threatening.
No bees = no food = no us
We need bees, but not sure about hornets. You are right though, they are not aggressive until they feel threatened. Has had to hit the ground on a trail while a swarm went over. The murder hornets are scary because what you said.
Yes, that’s what I read too – they “murder” bumblebees and not people. Still not good, as others said we need bumblebees for pollination, but the media makes it sound like they kill people.
Reports. are many people have been calling the Dept of Agriculture to report murder bees which are mostly of the european variety. Murder hornets are more yellow and can be up to 2 inches in length ( the famale variety). My heart hurts for the pups in here.
I love that #10 is actually 5 different worries before launching into a bonus worry right after that. So relatable! LOL
TT, I agree especially with No. 2 – and the crazy weather but I just wanted to seriously recommend you apply for every single kind of assistance possible for the business and yourself. Wishing Banjo and you a long, happy and healthy life!
Maybe I should take up smoking again?
Love you TT! I will comment more often, like I did in the good ole days before life went off the rails. Your site has definitely helped me through my share of shitty times and I would do anything to support you!
Sending lots of love from Nebraska! ♥️
PS I couldn’t agree more that the smokers are always the most fun and have the best dirt! Even after I quit years ago I’d go out for breaks with co-workers. That’s where all the dirt gets shared and I couldn’t miss that!
TT I totally understand the NEED of a pool, I walk and do light aerobics in the one at the Y and them shutting down hurts bad. I’m disabled, can’t walk more than a block without collapsing, tried chair aerobics but the titanium in my hips and above my tailbone make it impossible. I work at Staples and have been doing my 4 hour shifts M-F during all of this and it is terrifying to be a cashier with so many ignoring the call for masks and gloves. I come home to cats, have upped my cigs from a pack to 2 a day. Smoke my weed to relieve pain and calm my mind. Eat any and everything sweet or salty that I can find. Guess what? I’m doing my best in a really shitty situation and have no need to be lectured by anyone for my choices and anxiety. Saw doc today and told him everything I just typed and he concluded I am a healthy 55 year old. Don’t judge anyone for their choices we are all just trying to make it to tomorrow. And did I mention, i live in the NW corner of WA, AKA murder hornet central and work and live in the city that first brought Covid to our attention in the states. Hang in there everybody! We will, or will not, make it through this insane period of time.
I think I love you. Can we be psuedolesbian cuddle buddies?
I think I might be able to be a thruple with a lesbian couple. I have flirted a bit.
Superfly…. as a fellow Washingtonian, hang in there! At least our leadership listens to science. Oh and FUCK TIM EYMAN, THAT CHAIR STEALING DOUCHEBAG!
Murder hornets can be killed by praying mantis. The PM suck their brains out apparently. LONG LIVE THE PRAYING MANTIS!
I am completely with you on 1-4
