Harvard Epidemiologist Says Coronavirus is Thermonuclear Pandemic Level Bad

Not to spread any fear mongering here, but if you have flu symptoms Don't Be A Hero. Just go to the doctor.

Already had a local professor my age die here because he tried to fight it off and by the time it got bad enough to go to the hospital it was too late. He was gone within 24 hours.

so true, Gratitude is also an action word, can`t say I`m grateful to have family/friend`s in my life but never take the action to reach out and chat with them as an example

you nailed it.

I totally agree - the scene where Bobby kicks Hank in the balls is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV.

I tell you what.

Spelled 'wut'...

Watched Revenge of the Sith yesterday for the first time in awhile, and while the acting was bad, the story line was probably better than the Last Jedi and the Rise of Skywalker.

enjoying that new series on HBO The Outsider, think it was written by Stephen King

I agree, I love Revenge of the Sith. It's too bad we didn't see more of Vader in the suit wrecking people like he does in Rogue One.

I'm ready to forget about the new trilogy. It's not terrible but it doesn't feel new. I want them to go thousands of years in the past and come up with something completely new.

The desk at the hotel called and asked me to come down and said 'Jet Blue' who I booked the trip with on points wants to know if you can spend an extra day and fly back on Wednesday. There will be no additional charge and we will give you another $100 resort credit.

Did you watch the previous series? I heard good things but something about the animation pushed me away from it and I never watched it.

Spent the weekend in New Hampshire. Friday drove up and settled in, saw the ice castles. Saturday carved up the beginner slopes at Bretton Woods and had dinner at the Woodstock. Sunday we did the zipline tour at Bretton Woods cuz we had such a great time in August, we wanted to try it in the winter. It snowed almost the entire tour and was so bad ass. The go pro died on the final walk back to the cabin so i think it worked out perfectly, but haven’t had time to check the content yet. Unfortunately i spent Saturday filming in 25 FPS so I’m pretty sure the footage will be super choppy, but that’s fine. I ramped up the frame rate for the ziplines to 120, and between almost smashing my head on a branch at top speed, and the snow falling, i think the high frame rate will be worth the battery/memory drain.

but my lawd my legs are burning today.

I talked to the apartment management office tonight about the possibility of moving into a first floor apartment, specifically the one below me since those neighbors are moving out next month.

They are renovating that apartment and it sounds nice.... Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, remodeled vanities, laminate flooring, LED lights, no microwave....

......huh? Yes. You read that right. They are taking out the microwave above the stove and replacing it with a range hood. So I'd have to go back to taking up a significant chunk of the already tiny counter space with a microwave? I hope the renovations include a personal chef, then. I mean, these are "luxury" apartments and they certainly don't mind charging "luxury" prices.

This just blows my mind. And there are some other financial considerations that make me question the viability of this. I'll probably just stay in my second floor apartment then. With my microwave above the stove, where it should be.

I need a house.
