Pandemic After Affects

Greetings USM!

It’s time for a little group therapy since the Pandemic hit. Now that the masking mandates are pretty much lifted and folks are permitted to invade your personal space once again, I felt it was time to open up and let your feelings fly.

The biggest affect for me was the issue of not having toilet paper. Yes, that panic at the start of the pandemic where people were buying that commodity like there was no tomorrow left me scarred for life. I never, ever bought toilet paper in bulk prior to this. Now, I have a minimum six month supply and put toilet paper on my shopping list wether it’s needed or not.

How about you?

Before it was just kinda rude and without manners, now I consider it a willfully malicious biological act of domestic terrorism.  
Date: 6/19/2023 7:55:00 AM  From Authorid: 21435    Get over here, will ya! It's your turn to stir the pot!

"L.D."---Forget it! I don't even eat that stuff!

kronk---If you don't get over here, I'll tell mother that I had to take an emergency potty break and you purposely allowed her smothered okra to burn!

"L.D."---Ugh! This is so unfair!

kronk---That's a good boy. I knew that I could count on "man's best friend" to help me out. I'll be back in about two hours.

"L.D."---WHAT!!!!

(closes door to kitchen)

kronk---Hey Larry I had take care of a little problem with the help. I'm still trying to stay away from other people, if I can. I mean, let's face it, human
beings consider themselves to be "God's gift to the planet," but are often times little more than upright swine.

"L.D."---You've got your nerve. You smell like old crab bait and mosquitoes spray, most of the time, yourself! Get back in here and take over with this okra! I'm
getting nauseated!

kronk---Quiet! I'm trying to reply to Hey Larry's post! Keep stirring!

"L.D."---You'll pay for this outrage!

kronk---hehehe...I've even circumvented the toilet paper issue. I just use my index finger. All a person has to do is________. Hey! What's going on? Who deleted
me?

"L.D."---I did! Candy Cane is stirring the pot! You are despicable! Isn't he despicable, Candy?

Candy Cane---Yes, indeed, Mr. Kronk! You ARE despicable!

kronk---Ugh!
  
Date: 6/19/2023 5:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 54570    Ive noticed alot of food items at the grocery store are not offered or made anymore. Ive stocked up on canned green beans. Jarred green beans....... Mac n Cheese. thats what Ive stockpiled and eating down and at the same time putting up.  
Date: 6/19/2023 5:23:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    I hear ya Sand Ghost. Makes you wonder if one returned the favor by spraying Lysol in their general direction would enlighten the person any.  
Date: 6/19/2023 5:28:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Desperate times call for desperate measures Kronk. At the time, I had some older bedsheets and towels that I was meaning to donate to a thrift store that helps people in need. But almost decided to hold onto them for personal needs.  
Date: 6/19/2023 5:32:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    You know Smokin’ Joe, I hear up in Canada that scientists and engineers are developing a food product that goes byThe name “ Soylent Green.” Sounds a lot like those veggies substitutes they’re trying to push on the masses these days…No shortage there….  
Date: 6/21/2023 4:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 55251    My online shopping really increased. It's actually cheaper for me to get some of my groceries delivered than it is for me to travel to the store to buy them. Also, in regards to the toilet paper, I recommend buying a bidet; you'll go through much less toilet paper.  
Date: 6/22/2023 6:28:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Interesting idea Morphix. Since I wasn’t too sure if installing a bidet would be worth the investment, I decided to try a handstand while taking a shower. What a blast!  
Date: 6/22/2023 2:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Yo! Get in here and check this out, man!

kronk---What? I'm trimming my nose hair. You do know that I'm on the planning committee for my graduating classes' reunion. I got to look extra sharp `cause my old
flames will be in attendance.

"L.D."---Ha! All those women are grandmothers, now. They couldn't stand you then, and I doubt they've lost any sleep over you in 55 years, either.

kronk---Wow, dog! Your tongue is sharper than 30 X folded samurai sword! What "do" you want, anyway?

"L.D."---It appears that "Hey Larry" has gone to doing handstands in the shower.

kronk---So, what? If the man wants to invert, then it's no business of ours. Probably some form of "existential therapy." It's all the rage, you know.

"L.D."---Ugh! Hey, you missed a nose hair. It's a white one and it's all of three inches long. I'll get it!

kronk---OUCH!!!

"L.D."---hehehe...

  
Date: 6/22/2023 4:08:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    ^^^^ Actually, it was a form of flex mobilization type exercise for those that have reached the prime ( and beyond) of life. I hate to admit it, but handstands in the shower are best left to the experts. Like trapeze artists or those gymnast types. Anyway, thanks for your support…
  
Date: 6/23/2023 7:24:00 AM  From Authorid: 21435    I reached my prime 33,000,035 years ago and it's been downhill ever since.

"L.D."---"They" never should have made you immortal. You are a disgrace to the rest of us.

kronk---Hey, put water to the showerhead. I've got this handstand perfected.

"L.D."---What?

kronk---Turn on the water. Give me water, NOW!

"L.D."---OK, here it comes.

kronk---AHHHHHHHHHH !!! Not the HOT water!

"L.D."---hehehe...

  
Date: 6/26/2023 11:20:00 AM  From Authorid: 67845    For me, I think the hardest part of the pandemic was just not being able to go out whenever you wanted, and always hoping the places you wanted to go were under their capacity restrictions. I was a bus driver at the peak of the pandemic and the worst part of that was the sudden loss in ridership that cost a few of my friends their jobs. There was also the period of time when my family had come down with Covid. I wasn't living with them when it happened, but knowing I couldn't even stop by and visit for a while was rough. ~Juniper
Date: 6/26/2023 5:35:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Thanks for dropping by Juniper. Yeah, I was working as a line cook fora retirement community at the beginning of the pandemic and at that particular moment in time with the chaos that was on the horizon and the particular path the ( corporate owned) response team was headed made me great full of the money I had saved up which afforded my ability to give my notice and stay home for six months.  
Date: 6/26/2023 10:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 67845    At least you got to stay home for 6 months and be comfortable, that always helps. I never went through the shutdown, During the entire pandemic I was on the road every shift I worked just hoping I wouldn't get sick. Made it through though, and never caught Covid so that's a bonus.
Date: 6/26/2023 11:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 998    Even though so much has returned to normal, I still find myself remembering days in 2020 and 2021.

Driving in downtown Seattle at 5:35pm on a Tuesday and seeing no other cars on the streets. We looked up at the skyscrapers and wondered if anyone was working anymore.

Seeing favorite restaurants boarded up with signs saying 'Will open again after Covid'.

Huge grocery stores with large areas of shelf space empty.

  
Date: 6/27/2023 12:01:00 AM  From Authorid: 998    What bothers me today is people in my face/space. I still don't trust close contact.

And don't get me started about coughing and sneezing people. Sorry, still a bit scared.
  
Date: 6/27/2023 5:13:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Yeah, that’s eerily like an old scary movie. Say , ever seen “ The Last Man On Earth” starring Vincent Price?  
Date: 7/3/2023 6:42:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Isn't it a gas?

kronk---How do you mean?

"L.D."---The forest is burning and our little group is still busy having a good time.

kronk---Dig it, dog! "Let the good times roll!"
  
Date: 7/4/2023 4:17:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    We didn’t start the fire……….couldn’t resist.  
Date: 7/25/2023 8:30:00 AM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry I saw a program with Billy Joel in it, the other day. I think it was something to do with antique cars, or something. BJ is sure looking old.

"L.D."---Are you kidding? Have "you" looked at yourself in the mirror, lately?

kronk---Hey, dog! I'm still a good looking man!

"L.D."---Ha! Maybe, in a parallel universe inhabited by reptiles.

kronk---Ugh!
