Personally, I hated Covid isolation. The worst was the masks as I have COPD. I just ended up not going anywhere. Grateful everyday that I can be out in the world. Enjoy being out with others, even if I am a big introvert and don't like parties. Covid felt like I was in the Twilight Zone as Burgess Meredith with broken glasses.
I hated the masks as I have horrid hot flashes. Thankfully I was out of work for 4 months and then WFH for 8 months so I didn’t have to wear them a ton.Originally Posted by Tybee
Oh tybee, I remember the horror of that Twilight Zone episode. I'm sorry it was so hard for you and so many others.
Brides who can’t afford to invite you to their reception, but still expect a gift.
A friend from church’s son is getting married in a few weeks at our church. My choir will be singing as we have to. Orthodox services of all types are entirely sung. Anyway, normally the choir would be invited to the reception as a thank you. We found out this week at choir practice that the couple can’t afford to invite anyone who isn’t family to the reception. They’ve invited anyone in the parish to the ceremony itself.
The bride is from out of state and that’s where the couple will be living.
The problem with the entire situation is that the bride is making comments on social media (that I’ve seen myself) that she still expects gifts from people attending only the ceremony. The couple can’t afford to invite non-family to reception, yet still expects people to shell out cash. Very presumptuous of her. I won’t even bother with a card.
Hey there Internet:
I bought a sofa. So you can now stop putting sofa ads in front of me. Thank you very much.
Having looked at one of the sofas linked on this thread, I too am seeing the sofa ads. So hey Internet, Iris bought a sofa, so please stop those ads for me as well, lol.
IL: we do need to see what you bought though.
Another day of work is going to be shot due to the court of international trade striking down Orange Man’s emergency tariffs. The idiot customers will be calling and asking when they can get refunds. The administration has already appealred and it’s going to take a good while for anything to happen.
I just cannot get my head around the thousands of people who do not know what is going on or what to do next. Cannot imagine the confusion of the small business owners caught in the middle or the employees who do not know if they have a job tomorrow. These things should not be decided by the courts since they never should have happened this way in the first place.
I know, the chaos this is engendering! There’s one thing the business world likes, it is stability. This is not stability.
I am thinking the perpetual chaos and reading about it are affecting my mental health. I may try a total news break for a few days since most things we have no control over anyway.
