Are you bitchy because President Turd is going to get Dukakissed?

Absolutely fetching,perhaps you could treat the congregation to the coup de gras "I'm rubber you're glue."Any other engaging gems wafting thru that methane cloud of a mind?I thought the most ignorant/assinine thing I'd ever read on the web was you suggesting back in July that Advocates for the unborn were only doing it so they could manipulate them later for their own selfish whims .Congratulations you've dug yourself deeper into the abyss than I even thought possible.I think I've figured it out you are one of the Knights who say Ni

I just think we all need to be careful. I like that the stores all have mask requirements here. No need for a mandate. 

Most people do not like to be told what to do. Most people wear masks because we choose to. Much different.

Trump is getting into a tank?

Wisconsin gives ages, and yeah, the numbers for people below 40 make up most of the new cases. It's the kiddies.

This is the kind of stuff we need to be worried about. Drug and booze abuse too. This stuff is real.

So, what should we be doing differently?

So, what should we be doing differently?

It's hard. I don't really have any reason to be having difficulty with all this. I'm not out of work; nor is my wife. I'm already a misanthrope, so not seeing people should be ideal for me. But even so, it's been rough on my mental health. I think it's that unlike usual, I have very few events or other things to "look forward to."

Usually we have events, trips, and other things all planned months out in advance so there's always something around the corner. Even most years I'm looking forward to Purdue sports [as depressing as they usually are!], but for a while I thought that was gone. 

I was definitely not doing well, probably drinking too much, and generally being a sloth because even having the puppy around he took a long time to figure out how to go for walks. I feel like I'm finally starting to get out of that funk, with the puppy now wanting [demanding] a walk every morning and having gotten back into golf so I have a goal--to get my swing back and to get out on the course often. 

But as for the question of "what should we be doing differently", I don't have an answer. I'm not changing my behavior and avoiding events/trips because "someone" is telling me not to do those things or that I can't do those things. I'm changing my behavior because with this pandemic, changing my behavior is prudent and smart. 

Orange County is on the cusp of going to the next tier of reopening, but I'm not going to go out and do things I shouldn't be doing just because it becomes legal. 

That's what I don't think people get about the mental health issues. For some people, they would avoid mental health problems by behavior that could risk their physical health, and those who are being careful about COVID will be experiencing the mental side of it regardless of whether things are open or not. 

My suggestion is to stick to the topic at hand and avoid politics. 

Stick to the topic of beating the virus without mentioning politics, 2 weeks before a presidential election, in which the incumbent has virtually ignored the virus?


Mmmmkay.
