I am miserable for a year now due to being "stuck at home" from COVID lockdowns, however my state has reopened almost 5 months ago and I don't want to go out anymore.
Not out of fear, just re-trained myself to be a hermit instead of social and I can't snap out of it

When my 8yr old gets a referral at school for hitting someone with a grass/weed blade after being hit but last year when he got pushed down and fractured his elbow and had to have a cast for 6 weeks...nothing was ever done to the other student nor were we even informed of the event. Not until he got home holding his arm did we know this event occurred. Just has a "nice" chat with the assistant principal that apparently didn't go her way...as I am now expecting a call from the principal. The assistant mentality was a student can "block" them self from being hurt but if they act back...they are also at fault. NOT how I raised my son....do what you have to do to get out of harms way. Little fired up this moment!

^^ Yeah I can understand the feeling. I guess places like this forum act as an outlet in a way. Imagine if we were still living in an age where none of this existed yet.

We said the hell with it a long ago. Going out to eat occasionally. Been to a few comedy shows. Last Saturday we went out to dinner at a crowded German beer hall, then downstairs to bowl, and finished the night up at a karaoke bar.

My lady has an autoimmune disease and has already caught it.


My biggest problem now, is the 8-string guitar I just picked up off Reverb is in desperate need of a pro setup.

We go out to lunch and maybe a few day drinks but we were heavily into dining out back in the day. 3-4 nights a week. No kids, no real responsibility or bills. Now we just cant get back into that life. I cant stand be served by some guy sweating into his mask and always fidgetting with it etc. It was always entertainment for us, go out to dinner have a cocktail first then maybe walk around town after and listen to some live music etc.
I hate feeling this way

This school is REALLY starting to make my blood boil. I found out last night that his teacher gives each student a hug at the end of the day.....REALLY...did she forget about school policy during these times? Also, with him flip flopping from @home Zooms to onsite...his qtr scores for math was 72% (which he broke down in tears about; he is proud of his scores). If that was the case...so be it, but he is pretty damn sharp on math. Asked teacher to retest him as something didnt seem right. With not willing to retest, I went above her and it was noted that he was missing alot of tests being completed as well as 1 paper in his record that wasnt even his. He was retested on the tests....97%.

Angelique didn't bring me a spicy Kentucky Blood ( Buffalo trace, blood orange, Serrano Chile ) until the third one. In her favor, we were all wearing our mask when she approached the table but SHE said we could just take them off, she wasn't afeared.

I had to remove 14 phillips screws, two 1/4" bolts, and two T25 torx screws to reverse the door hinge on my new clothes dryer. I'm so winded that I put the tools away before reversing the door hinge on the matching washer.....

That might turn out to be an all-world problem.

Alternatively my uncle and his wife have had both shots, went out to eat 4 times in the past week. Pent up desire to be waited on, you betcha.

I've had one shot so far, get the second one in a couple of weeks.

I'm in the 65 and older range. Wife too.

All of the stainless steel gold Apple Watch series 6 are sold out! Especially the cellular one.

If I want one, I would have to settle for a series 5. How will I survive!
