the rover 5,457 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Two years ago I displaced a rib playing golf. It took about 6 weeks to heal. This morning I re-injured the same rib when I sneezed while bent over the sink to spit out my toothpaste. I can barely move and everything I do hurts. This is the dumbest way I have ever been injured, and I do a lot of stupid stuff. 2 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I slipped a disk putting a carseat in the car and have re-injured it many times sneezing. I now have a sneezing protocol. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Floppo 27,900 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Nyc just shut down the schools again. Numbers have been climbing, but mostly in Staten Island which single handedly tipped the city over the max percentage. Wish they'd shut it down there instead of the other boroughs too, but unions gotta union. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the rover 5,457 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 We're mostly shut down as of midnight last night. Bars/restaurants closed for indoor dining. You can still get takeout and I suppose if a restaurant was willing to send their servers out into 40 degrees, rain and 20 mph winds you could have outdoor dining for up to 5 cold and miserable people. All businesses encouraged to do WFH only if possible. Indoor gatherings with people outside your household prohibited unless participants have quarantined for at least a week and tested negative. Gyms, museums, movie theaters (which just opened last week) and bowling alleys closed. Death knell for a lot more restaurants that just made it through the first shutdowns. Schools have been remote since March, except K-2 which shut down last month. Stopped by my local bar last night and gave the bartender a $100 tip for 2 beers. It's going to be a depressing couple of months here. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hit BWW to see my favorite bartender and after 3 beers, rounded my tab up to $100. She's legit scared about making rent this month and beyond and she said she's fortunate because she doesn't have kids. Other servers who do are stressed to the max about Xmas gifts. Sucks. Sucks sucks sucks. 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GroveDiesel 9,082 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Well, my dad just my got told that my grandmother’s oxygen levels are dropping, she is fading fast, and likely has less than 24 hours. On one hand she’s 95, hasn’t been very happy for quite a while, and has actively said she wants to die multiple times. So it’s not like any of us had delusions about her living a lot longer and know that she’s lived a long full life. BUT, it sucks that my parents are not allowed in to be with her at all, that my dad will be the last one left of his nuclear family and is really struggling with that, and that I would not be able to go out to be with my dad and say goodbye. This Covid stuff really sucks y’all. 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
