What has happened to you since the Covid pandemic started

Theres is something worse than McD's

 

I'm scared now

 

These days, when I see something on TV (or news), I ask myself; "do I really need this in my consciousness?" The answer is generally 'no'.
I subscribed to The Great Courses Plus, and am going to take some music classes over the Internet.

 

Doesn't that happen to everyone after college?

There is serious Fruit Pie shortage at restaurants nowadays. Every place wants you to eat something called 'cheesecake' but it ain't a pretty picture. But no pies! No Dutch Apple pie, no Strawberry-Rhubarb pie, no Blackberry pie, no Shoofly pie, no Tarheel pie, no Key Lime pie, no Pecan pie, no Peach pie, no Sweet Potato pie - it's a bad situation.

You get yourself over to a park someplace with those pipes and you'll have more new friends that you can shake a stick at. Everybody loves a piper!

 

As of Friday, we're fully vaccinated, and just moments ago, NEW REEDS JUST ARRIVED FROM CANADA! Screwed one in, tried it, gave it another 1/4 turn, and VOILA! What a difference from endlessly fiddling trying to get the last dying breath out of my ancient (~12 years) tired and worn-out reeds!

Wow; new reeds. I'm not gonna know how to act.

 

Maybe a little Galician dance music?

 

They're war pipes; 92 dB. Loud enough to be heard over gunfire.

 

a senior hiking group sounds like a good fun idea. how do i find one?
maybe i need to get around to joining the sierra club like i've been meaning to.

 

I found them by word-of-mouth (a neighbor and dear friend retired here specifically for the hiking; our county's ~75% National Forest, and the Appalachian Trail passes through right over yonder), but I'd ask 'round any local National Forest/Park office or ranger station (they're some of the nicest folk; helpful to a fault. They love to tell you all about their bailiwick), or your local outdoors/camping store.

 

Jealous! Once upon a time, I lived near a nice stretch of the AT and it was always fun meeting the thru hikers. The Mountains-to-Sea trail doesn't have the same vibe at all.

 

We're within easy range of the AT, Mountains to Sea, Bartram, and Tanasi trails...and a bazillion miles of Forest Service fire roads.

 

I have gotten skinnier since it started as well.

 

If you lost some weight during quarantine, let me know.
I found it.

 

I don't want it back. You can keep it.

 

I''ve lost my busuness, been in isolation due to lockdown and has gotten in much better shape

 

Yeah I'll land on my feet though, cause I'm a cat (sort off)
Yeah the lockdown is what's driving me up the walls, and just about everybody else it seems, that and that the government restrictions just doesn't make sense
