Worked only a 8 hour day at work so I had some time this afternoon for a quick ride. Bike path was very crowded.

Mike and I have already chatted. He and I are in complete agreement on these issues and we will not allow the likes of you to lead us right into another 1918.

And they have an internet connection, and a laptop. The world is very different in other districts, Elyria where I worked has an 80 percent Free and Reduced rate. Those kids don't have internet at home. The district has enough Chromebooks to send home....but without internet that is pointless. There are a huge number of districts with this issue. I still chat with all the district tech folks across Ohio. It is bad, very bad.

so parents will only be working 2 days a week? how less infected do you get in 2 days over 5?

Yea I popped in for a minute but Dan was going on and you were the only one I recognized in there so I jumped back off after listening to some of his stories lol. I've never met Dan.

I thought I saw you on there last night, Danimal was telling stories about his trip, and I don't think you could get a word in! LOL

It really is fun as hell. I've only been on a few times but when I have I've been on a few hours at a time and swapping stories and bullshitting just reminds me of the old days of OR

Media hype neither makes the pandemic better or worse, but it does change how many of us feel about going through it. It always amazes me how much better I feel not accessing the media for a few days. The situation "is what it is"--nothing more, nothing less. If something dire happens or if there are medical breakthroughs, someone--a neighbor or friend--will likely tell us about it. I'm very glad I am at the point where I don't have to have a job any longer, and if the shit hits the fan, I'll just retire instead of risking becoming infected on the job.

Like anything else, there's a lot of misinformation going around and we'll probably start seeing some weird stuff pop up in the news about inflated numbers, hospitals/news agencies faking stories about how dire their situations are, etc. This isn't a hoax, no matter what people say, but it's also not the end of the world. If you do start going back out into everyday life, do it the smart way and take care of yourself. I'm on day 53 of still having symptoms off and on, and it sucks. I can see how this could kill somebody quickly if it turned south. If you have underlying conditions or are near someone that does in everyday life, take this seriously. It's unfortunate that I feel I have to say this 2 months down the road, but that mistrust of information is something I put squarely on mainstream media's shoulders.

I’m ready to go back to normal life. I say if you want to stay home fine. Me personally I have little fear about this stuff. I’m willing to take the chance. They tell me we don’t know enough about the virus. I say exactly. Why are we making all of these decisions without solid information. I’m not big on living in fear.

FIY @Casper he sent you a public message not a private one. Didn't know if you seen it or not.

Ok, Diavel.

We should start a thread where we ask for relationship advice in a "dear Abby/Pauly" style column and you can just shit on people. I could fap to that.

Great shirt lol

I don't even let my kids put shit in my driveway.
