I figure more than that will not wear masks when they should.That's just plain idiotic.
I have been. Kinda don't care about it anymore. All I do is go to work, the grocery and home. The VID has us kind of house bound, mostly. Some places are open, but I'm still not all comfy with that. I figure the dog doesn't care, the cats really don't care and boyfriend has even assisted with the back of my hair, since I can't reach it ?I'm trying to talk myself out of taking the scissors to my hair.
I would.No one wants to read a "so what" story.
I have some of thoseWhat next, a breaking news headline on a thinner than average toothpick?
They'll make you famous these days here in OzI have some of those
I would.
"So What" by Magic Mist.
The pondering of lifes big questions!
Like ..... Do ants really wear pants? And if they do where do they buy them?
Has anybody ever really found a hens tooth and if not and they dont exist then why are they even classified as rare?
Has anybody ever really recieved a birthday present from a horse and then looked inside its mouth? And if they did then what happened?
Has anybody seen anyone actually cry when they spilt some milk? And if they did, did the person recover from the ordeal?
Has anyone really ever talked the head off of a donkey? If they did were they charged with animal cruelty, did anyone try to reattach it?
Speaking of So What, so what have we come to when this is a news story. A woman cracks two eggs into a frypan to cook together and dishing them up breaks a bit of the white and freaks out that it looks like an "eerie creature". This was reported on Chanel 7 news one of our supposed top comercial stations. Really, a story on two fried eggs.
Headline was "Aldi shoppers eerie find in a carton of Aldi eggs".
What next, a breaking news headline on a thinner than average toothpick?
Oh, yeah, here's the shocking find.

Im doing pretty well otherwise though
Sorry to hear you feel that way mate. Wish I could say or do something to make you not feel like that.I'm really starting to hate myself it seems. Such the rut of living I'm in. Wish I could change it, know there's nothing I can do to change it. No matter if get work away from home or not I'll still feel this crap. No matter I write prize winning stories, still will feel this.
I wish you could as well. unfortunately, I know it needs come from within me. Nobody else can feel enthused for me, or the pleasure of smelling a rose. No, it needs to be me doing it. Guess I was created wrong.Sorry to hear you feel that way mate. Wish I could say or do something to make you not feel like that.
No we can't, true. But we can say "hey bud, you have people who care, we care, hang in there". ?I wish you could as well. unfortunately, I know it needs come from within me.

O sweety am so sorry your so flustrated..Appreciate the clever re-framing of meaning. Can see how that may work. Not sure I can make it work though. For me a lot of the so whats you pose seem to lack depth. I'd lose interest because of that.
Sorry I feel this way. Wish I could feel differently. My medication is but isn't helping I guess. I'm still not acting like a Stepford. Which is to say I'm not all bright smiles and bubbly over the tiniest positive thing, Granted I don't get all maudlin over stuff beyond mu control now, well didn't until now. *sighs*

As my wife says jokingly but may as well be true, I'm beyond being helped. What is wrong in my case is it's all in my head physically which makes it worse psychologically. You don't change the cards you get dealt and sometimes you cannot change how you play them either.
I'm still holding though. No one would clean up behind me.
O sweety am so sorry your so flustrated..
here you play with your hammer for a while.
an see if that can't help release some of that pent up flustration
well i would have suggested the gloves and Bag

but the gyms are closed.
Here's hoping nothing ignites there. We live in a bad fire prone area but thankfully have some of the best bushfire fighters in the country to look after us too.Well, it's fire season...we've been fairly lucky not to have a Big One just yet.
The humidity is super-low, it's windy, extremely dry, and temps that have been nice are going back up soon. So, we have a red flag warning for a huge are of this and other areas of the state.

We're talking like 10% humidity in some areas, winds up to 20mph+, and temps in the upper 90s. Add stoopid people and well, there's gonna be lots of fires. ?
I once turned up at the gym I went ready to fight that way and everyone stood there laughing at me.Bout, half could make a bag for myself here. Reckon I could hang an old crack corn bag up from barn rafters.Gloves? Nah, just bare knucks and bare feet.

Im like "What? Jack said we're fighting bear........oh...he meant.......bare knuckles!"
I still thought they pretty rude laughing at me though, I went to a lot of trouble hiring that suit!

If it even put a little smile on your face, then im glad to hear that.Thanks for that. *hug*
Yep, keep hearing that kids are ultra low risk of complications so open the schools its making them sad! Errr, yeah, but what a about the teachers and the families they go home to? Unless they are all Doogie Howser teachers then, um, derr, what do you think will be the outcome!?This school reopened and one child infected 25 teachers
children may fare pretty well with the virus, but without teachers there is NO school.

Im sure that if that question was actually posed to them they would be scratching their heads and replying "err, we'll end up with child geniuses and future Einstein's!?"
I left my school midway through my second last year. I saw teachers that were, from primary school to high school, having criminal relationships with fellow and younger year students, teachers that physically abused students, one I stood up to and I was dragged before the entire school general assembly, in front of every teacher and student by the physical scruff of my neck, and in front of them all laughed at him and said my mind at what I thought of them all in front of the entire school and staff and left and never went back. When I told my mother about it all, she knew I was no saint as a kid as in lots of ways I was a Huck Finn tear away, but also knew (and I never lied to my mum ever) that I was telling her the 100% truth, she said "I believe you, you do what you believe is right". Within 2 weeks I had a job as a laborour for a landscape garden crew and that was it. My school taught me nothing other than to hate pedos and child abusers.Public schools here though do not generally teach children to think. The courses are rather geared to create cookie cutter obedient little "unskilled" labor people. In fact I might go so far to say public education here makes dumb, dull people.
This has been known for at least the last twenty to thirty years too. Not much has been done to attempt correcting it. The government gets what it pays for with public education. Why create people who can think for themselves and question authority? Nobody wants that, no, not at all.
Educated voters wind up voters like me. We're voters that do not vote because they see the "system" is flawed, corrupted and can not be fixed. It can be tried to fix it, sure enough though unless you wipe out some of the root causes you'll wind up back here again. And those root causes either grease enough palms, or hold no compunction against killing to protect themselves.
Everyone speaks to taking money from politics. Why not remove greed instead? Oh that's right "because you can never remove greed, it has always and will always exist". Horse shit I say, go back in time and kill the first mofo that dares b build a fence and yell "mine!" Then use a resource based economy, no one owns anything, everyone owns it all.
Eliminate dependence on oil. That would also make a lot of improvements. Ah but we cannot do that either. Bullocks I say, yet none the pity to bother hearing. it's all been "decided", all been put in place for the "greater good". How is it any good when it kills a planet we need to live on? And don't tell it wasn't known it would do that. Sorry, someone, someone in power knew.

Excuse me, realize this might be construed as political. I see it as a bit of commentary on the human condition, intended it as that as well. Being fair I am a peaceful anarchist. Someone that sees no governing works, figures we may as well have the chaos we create trying to make order. I see no serfs and masters, only people. Beyond that I'm not posting this as political talk. Again, just seeing our shared human condition.
These are things which lie beyond my scope of control. I'm sure they're beyond the scope of many here. Simply because we can not control them does not mean we can not discuss them or lay them on the table, spades as spades. There is a lot of evil shit in the world needing brought to light. And the light only needs to shine on it to end it. Once ended stop discussing it, stop feeding it power. If it has no power then it cannot go back to being evil.
Know that seems a simple way to look at things. It works though. But again no one listens, I know.
He's hilarious. My nephew got a Bender tattoo several years ago.
Bender is awesome.
All good here
I just noticed in another thread that @Rhianne has posted that her father passed away.
I don't post in that thread, and she said she's likely to not be online for awhile, but wanted to give her my condolences and hugs anyways.
