I needed a good laugh, thank you Charlie. ^_^

Sure thing, Adolf.

I'll give you +5 for embracing Godwin's law a few pages earlier than expected. Last time it took you around 6.

I like it. I don't know what anti-crazy pills they put you on recently but they've made you funny.

A while ago I bought a ticket to go visit my sister and new niece in CO, pre-corona.
I am supposed to leave on Wednesday and stay for a week, I already have the vacation time approved. I'm only mildly hesitant about traveling, I'm less concerned about catching something myself than I am concerned I'd spread it to my sister or her in-laws unknowingly.

I told her last week that I convinced myself it was a bad idea, I was going to follow my gut and stay home. My mom and youngest sister are still going, and now they're all telling me I'm overthinking it and working myself up and saying I would regret it if I didn't go and it all turns out fine. Bf says if I go I have to self-quarantine somewhere away from the house for two weeks. It would take maxing out a credit card, but so it goes.

I've gone back and forth on it so many times I can't even think straight, but as it stands I have until Wednesday to make a decision lol. What would you do, mb?

Your family is stupid and irresponsible. Stay home.

Unless their visit includes activities such as rioting in the streets and/or spitting on pigs, they should stay home.

Why would her family spit on your family?

I know you don’t respect my opinion but don’t go.

No. Definitely not! Remember, it's the worst it has ever been in this country now.
Consider how you will regret it if you did go.
They won't believe you, but tell them that you are doing it for them.

Unfortunately, I have no police officers in my family tree. Just a few draft dodgers and a great-grandfather who was 1/2 Cherokee and a WW1 vet.

Hard pass

Thank you, I will not go. I needed reassurance that I'm not the crazy one.

You are definitely the sensible one.
Hopefully the survivors will thank you later.

Alas, tonight I went out, but it was my fortnightly
visit to a wonderful couple who run a Thai restaurant
and it's always a less-than-5-minute pickup of food.

Goddamn could I kill some Thai food.

I could live off all the various curries they create over at my favorite local place.

Went to my first therapy appointment (I didn't get to choose the therapist; my social worker at the hospital arranged it and there's very few therapists here that accept medicaid anyway) today. Barf. I didn't click with her at all; it was incredibly awkward.

Oh no, can you change therapists? Its so hard to find a good one. I once got one assigned by my doctor and he was a huge moron, its horrible to be in a place where you need to be understood and to feel like that isn't happening at all

Semi stupid question but are you sure it’s that important to click?

I could, yes, it's just that it's very difficult to find a therapist that accepts medicaid and is currently accepting new clients. I hate therapy anyway. (My mom was always trying to force me to go to therapy in middle school and high school and it was awful.) I'd be interested in trying EMDR or something though.

I think it is, yes, at least somewhat. This lady however.. she seemed dumb as a rock, honestly. I feel mean for saying that, but it's true.

I hear you. Good luck.

That sucks, it might still be worth finding a new one though. And I've heard good things about EMDR

Maybe. I know I badly need therapy for my bizarre intimacy issues but at the same time, it always feels horribly indulgent to just sit and talk on and on about such things at length (unless of course I'm oversharing here at 3 am) so part of me would rather just suffer.

Yeah, same for me. That's just your brain being an ******* to you though, and telling you that you don't deserve things you need

The pigs swept off the homeless from the small park on my street.

Covid is at the local jail but white officers would literally rather get it and spread it than wear a mask.

Only two homeless in the park this morning

Both sleeping sitting up. One saying some weird ass **** in his sleep.

Left some apple and grapefruit juice out for them

People have been setting off fireworks and firing guns for like a month straight. It's the perfect storm with coronavirus and the anti-cop vibe.

I don't take naps during the day,
but my little girl makes it very tempting -
especially when it's a hot day.

I see you have designated cat sleeping areas around the house. Mother makes her own cat beds and places them in strategic places around the house where the cats lay around.

:love:
I'm so ****ing jealous of all you people who have cats in your daily life, it physically hurts
That's cute but whenever I tried to do something like that my cats did that thing where they insisted on napping in the most uncomfortable place instead

Most of my cats are dead now actually. There's just the one weirdo who's terrified of everyone but mother. There was a long time when the house was a cat den though.

Cat dens are awesome. I used to have two, one of which was terrified of everyone but me, but she died :(

Still miss my buddy Wolfgang who used to pester me incessantly so I'd pester him back and he was a self-absorbed prick so he'd act like I was the *******. Good times.

Well, I don't do the designating - they do.
She used to sleep on a nice love seat that we used to have almost in that spot -
and I wondered if she would take to this chair, but, yes!, we put coverings
where we think they might get comfy and just watch.

lmao what is that thing behind your cat

An electrical outlet.

*sigh*
I have myself to blame, I should have rephrased that
But I need explanations
