Thank you, Crom. It’s been tough, but I feel like I made the right decision. We(Charlottesville) don’t even know if the University of Virginia is coming back next semester. If they don’t, many more dreams here will be destroyed.

25% sounds about right. Maybe more? We shall see.
Maybe read some real surveys of what is going on instead of listening to a liar.

Hehe, YVW.
I haven't seen it here in days either, but I'm in the INW, it's normal. ;)

It works both ways.
Dude, seriously, this is not a political thread. At all. There is no reason to interject politics into people checking in on each other. I started this thread so people could let other people know how they’re doing with the COVID19 thing. Until now, no one has gone to politics.

I am asking.....please keep the thread the way I intended it. He’s got you on ignore, so you’re not bothering him. You’re ruining it for everyone else. I know, I know, free speech. That’s fine. Do what you will. I’m just asking from one human to another.....please keep the political comments to the political threads.

That’s all I’ll say on it.

Just 2 points and I'll leave this thread.
1. He doesn't have me on ignore
2. It wasn't a political rebuttal and if it was it was a response to his political post.
If I damaged your thread in any way I apologize and I won't be back to this thread.

I hope your wife's family gives you a lot of good stuff at Christmas, because damn if you don't work hard for them. I doubt they know how good they have it with you around.

Oh that one is a church friend of the wife...

Wifes family? Naah more aggravation and trouble than gifts.

NO. No one should have to leave the thread. We just need to leave the politics and thinly-veiled remarks out of these conversations.

Calling another member a liar isn't thinly veiled, it is a direct provocation and slander against one of the most honest people I know

Ready to FINALLY watch the Darlington 500 on FS1...wooooooo!

*edit*
While watching iRacing has been great and I get to see the drivers behind the scenes and all, it ain't real racin'. It's the only sport on as well.

Well thank you. Aside from my deception about being a human I am very honest. Heck even on taxes and such, I hate jail and such benefits of human society.
At 66 i have no criminal record nor even a moving traffic ticket. got some overtime parking tickets...
I do have expired plates on my Blazer though because the clerks office is closed for the virus thing.

What I meant when I said "thinly-veiled" was that the specific wording of post wasn't directly political, but the reference to where Crom gets his information, in other words, the inference behind the statement, definitely WAS political. It was a direct reference to "their news, which is all lies," and "our news, which is the god's-honest truth." So yes, I get what you are saying and I agree. But I also think it's not worth a damn to make an overtly sarcastic, denigrating statement, and then defend it by saying that you meant something different than what you obviously meant. I'm so sick of all this shit I could puke.

Checking in after ranting, lol

We are good - made a quick run for some exotic tubers and were hoping to stop at the beach but it was wet and windy out today

Hope everyone is good, even the anti-Cromwellians :wave:

Absolutely not. You are welcome here. Your fan base would be, as well, if they can keep to the spirit of the thread.

The angst feels ECF related, somehow. I thought maybe someone had carried over a grudge from there. Maybe it’s the Mud Pit ambience, though.

Glad you’re doing good, Lucy. Howdy to Mr. JL and the chickens, big and small. :hug:

If any forums, it's FT related...or Discord...or just how things have become. IDK, I just live my life and that's all. ;)

It's a shitty day out, but i have a good kitteh, a cold beer, a good vape, I'm wearing vintage DaleJr, and NASCAR is Back. I'm happy.

I thought it was high spirits, albeit nasty, caused by lockdown. But maybe not. You’d think they’d like the thrifty thing, though.

No, dear, this has been in play since 2008. Think back. You'll understand what I mean. And with that, we probably should change the subject or take it to PM. This isn't a political statement either, it's beyond that.

Just not as much dumb stuff that will cause pain. Like hold my beer and watch this events.

You ever watch the Red Green show? You just made me think of the episode where he was outfitting his truck to have power windows by attaching a drill to the window crank. Omg it was hilarious!!!

yeah that old phart reminds me of my departed father in law. What a duck tape and baling wire cobbler. Most of his stuff did work though. He once made a outdoor table cover from a big ol satellite dish. Covered in very well with sheet metal so it did not leak. much ;)

I like a lot of RG's philosophy too.

I love Red Green... Duck Tape can fix Everything! :D

It's so damn weird..I'm watching LIVE Nascar now, with real cars.

It is hard not to think it's still Virtual racing. How strange that it is nowadays, eh?

I survived Scarlet Fever at age 3, chicken pox at 23 (i don't recommend it), and now this surreal bit of time..

But, COVID-19 has not ended us by a long shot; we will go on. Changed perhaps, closer hopefully, but we will still get to enjoy life on this planet..if we choose to. Cherish the small moments...they get larger as time flies by. ;)

Scarlett fever aint no fun. Had that when I was around 10 or 12 and back then was allergic bad to antibiotics, so I had to ride it out. Was bedridden for months. Never forget that, what I can remember of it that is, was in la la land a lot of the time.
How real looking is all this virtual racing huh! First few times I caught a glimpse of ours here I thought "wow, theyre letting them race with all this covid?" Come a long way since Mario Kart on the early Nintendo's haven't they!? :giggle:

Yes, he’s the one that calls duct tape the handy man’s secret weapon!! He’s really funny. I wish PBS still had him on. So vanilla now.

Good morning!

Cooler today, 94*. I'm being lazy today, still in my nightie. Why not?

Hubby is talking about smoking another chicken, told him to get right on it. I think he's too busy playing with his bugs (lures).
Jessie is watching a dumb bird that's sitting on the porch railing right outside the door. You can just see what is going through her mind, lol. She's a little loaded on catnip right now.

Stay safe and healthy :hug:
