I seen this whole scenario before. I lived. Back in the early 80's. Around here in western Pa. The coal mines and steel mills shut down. Thousands of people were left jobless. The mines and mills never came back. People were making big money with these jobs. Easy 6 figures with overtime. A house, car, truck, motorcycle, boat, guns, etc. The way it happened after lots of friends lost their jobs. First to go was the boat, then the bike, next the play toys, the truck, all of the guns but for one. When it got down to the house that was left. That's when the divorce happened. After that was the suicides. I lost a few friends from that. Seen a lot of good families ripped apart. The saying around here at the time was. "It's a recession when your neighbor gets laid off. It's a depression when you get laid off."

On the news every night was stories of people getting robbed coming out of grocery stories. The robbers wasn't taking the money. They was taking the food. Most of all the victims said the same thing. The robber said that he has kids to feed. He wants the food, not the money.

To me, seeing whats going on around me. Feels like I'm seeing history repeating. And it's following the same time line.

You've posted this before somewhere and recently, as I remember reading it. That's some crazy sh!t.

Now I have to wear a mask. :icon14: So for over 3 months, I haven't worn a mask during the time where I would have the greatest chance of getting the virus. You would think that the CDC should have said back in Jan. Feb. You need to wear a mask. Why I am slamming my head into a wall trying to understand this mess. :mad:

Same thing was said about Vitamin C by the media, how it won't help you. Well, Vitamin C theoretically helps your immune system, which is what fights off infections and viruses. I've stockpiled on EmergenC a few months back when it was cheap and readily available. I go to stores now, and can't find them anywhere.

I just love waking up and staring up in the air and seeing whirling pieces of pork over me... of course, I mean the fan blades...

I think I posted something about this that I saw spoiler sleeping with his mouth gapping wide while dozen slabs of bacon hanging on his ceiling fan its like he is waiting one bacon at a time dropping straight to his mouth!

Well good morning Vtec

Man I was reading your post few pages back what was the sincere apology all about?

Man Im very sorry to hear about your in laws... I would have probably do the same if I fail to bring food and happiness to my family. My heart is breaking reading your post...I wouldn’t wish that to anyone.

You see Im the only bread winner in the family when something happens to me the production line of dreams stops. I always pray God would be merciful and not let that happen to us. Honestly I got scared hearing about what happened to your in laws.

On the other hand...Betty admitted that he/she has a GF and both are lawyers?
So we have lesbian lawyer in our midsts!

This is interesting news more than covid19

Zoren 370 04-23-2020 02:17 AM

Good morning JC and Madwi


Its 2am time for coffee !

Zoren 370 04-23-2020 02:49 AM

Im awake and tired as I reflect on all of this events

Honestly I don’t listen to bad news... but I haven’t hug and kissed my 10 year old son since February. Though I see him and play with him in a distance every night when I go home..,I wanna feel his hug. But Im scared that I might be positive.

Sometimes I just wanna cry the simplest things we took for granted before is actually gone. Who would think that America would even run out of TP that I personally abused excessively used and treating it as its noting of any value. Now I cant even find one...

Freedom is only a word now...This the land of the Free as we boastfully say...Where is our freedom now... I cant even fu*king hug my son!!!
I even sleep alone in our guest room.

Its like your alive but your dead...


A simple hug...A simple kiss...I cant do...that breaks me more than anything.

Sorry guys just having one of those days...of sadness.

Indeed Im a clown makes people laugh but ..,,yes but.. Im also vulnerable.

Try to go back to work, or let the banks take back the house and the vehicles that you worked so hard to get. Tough decision? Until you have been in their shoes. You really don't know on how it feels to tell your kids that they might have to move out of the house.

i mean wearing masks are now not only acceptable but required........always could go the ski mask route of getting money lol

Hospitals are getting hit hard putting elective procedures on the back burner and not receiving covid patients as predicted.
They arent offering you guys monetary compensation for volunteering? 2 wks pay per year of employment?
