i keep hearing all of the things about "essential" people in this convid-19 virus thing.. well, i woke up this morning, did my morning poop, and just felt like i am essential.

i walked around my house while my wife was still sleeping, did the alexa thing to hear the daily text.

it made me feel good.

but every thread has this torrent of 1993 Animated Gif files that were somewhat meaningful, yet so unnecessary

@silentbuddha ....

Does that mean I am not essential ???

Rub sounds like an ex JW elder from the northern mid-west that now lives in FloriDUH

@FedUpJW ....

Actually about an hour and a half from New York City but yes, now FloriDUH

Have you become a CO yet?

@Anna Marina ......

I am still waiting to hear back from the results of my application. In any case, I did save 50% off the application fee by using Groupon.

this guy relishes being the class clown. Everybody likes him but maybe he’s bored or something

Min ....

You are right on all of your comments. At an "appropriate" time, I will totally open up.

Being a 4th Gen Dub, being in school with the flag salute / national anthem thing, I did use humor to try to deflect some of the "pain" if you want to call it that. In fact, I was in the top 5% of my high school class and everyone was getting titles, "Most Likely to Succeed" and other titles. Several called me the "Class Ass."

Add that to this sitting in your house all day with the COVID-19 thing, yes, I am a bit bored.

I feel more essential too with a high fiber diet and a lot of salads.

I keep hearing all of the things about "essential" people in this CONVID-19 virus thing.

Well, I woke up this morning, did my morning poop, and just felt like I am essential. I walked around my house while my wife was still sleeping, did the Alexa thing to hear the Daily Text. It made me feel good. I felt more essential. It's a wonderful provision. After listening to it, I felt even more essential.

Are You Afraid of Contracting The Covid Virus?

thankfully my best friend who got this terrible malady is doing well after being in the hospital for more than two months!

i see some people who are still petrified over this virus.

they are still virtual prisoners in their own homes.

@ Bourneldenentity .....

I like that. As my neighbor told me who works in a hospital, the hospitals get a lot more $$$$$ from the government if the person tests positive for COVID-19 and then dies, whether the person knows he/she has it or not.

out of curiosity, i recently looked up a person (jw) on facebook who was a very good friend of mine years ago in western pennsylvania.

his family moved to arizona about 15 or so years ago.

since i left the jw's and he didn't, i never contacted him again.

If the letter is in Portuguese, perhaps it has to do with cancelling the rooming arrangements and Society recommended hotels during Carnival 2021 in Brasil.

Just my thoughts. I could be wrong.

But I do have Carnival on my bucket list to do someday. Wife and I do Fantasy Fest here in Florida (Key West) every year and did Mardi Gras (New Orleans Louisiana) once. We would never go back to Mardi Gras again.

I hope that Carnival in Brasil is more like Fantasy Fest. The Mardi Gras thing in New Orleans has too many people just pissing in the streets and it tends to smell quite nasty.

Here in the UK, lockdown has f**ked the economy.

If you people drove on the right side of the road then things would be better.

I have spent 12 minutes trying to get this message off of here. It was the tag line in a very short movie when two senior sisters knock at a door and encounter a very rude man.

Giordano ...

Don't get stressed. The one on the left looked very well endowed.

RubaDub if you become a CO can you get me the rest of my money back and give me a pay check for everything I did including stand-in talks?

@Anna Marina ...

Let me know the "suggested donation" amount you are considering.

I use a guy at a bank in Nigeria that will issue the funds if you just provide him with some personal bank information.
