I'd've had one, only the missus said she thought they were a bit frou-frou...

Left my Snoop on a stoop at work yesterday.
Hope he’s ok. :roll:

I finally got COVID. :roll:

Three loved ones had it last month, from work, and I managed to avoid it somehow.

But I finally did it!


Lovely when your POS job makes you do an uninterrupted testing video to access your accrued sick pay.

I gave them COVID realness. :lol:

I hope you sneezed all over the webcam.
And I hope you're not to ill! We all had it in May. Pro tip: I lived off frozen yogurt for three days.

Had one bad day, but I’m literally cleaning the house, doing chores now.

I had to use my phone for the video because my iPad shorts out randomly and I don’t know my Apple I.D. to go to the haughty-farty Genius Bar.
Did I ever know my Apple I.D.?
Hard to say because I don’t care.

Definitely a cheeseburger and beignets was a poor choice at 11 A.M. :shock:
Like, nOoooOoo.


Hope your kids didn’t suffer.
That’s the worst.


Back in the day, people got 10 paid days off for COVID no questions asked.
Now, companies want to begrudge you using your available sick pay and have you perform skits.

About half my co-workers have had it over the last month, several for the 2nd time.

All of my kids have had it, my son (who works in shelter housing) three times! But we're all fully vaxed and basically had the standard flu symptoms for a few days, then better with no lingering symptoms (except my older daughter got the weird taste stuff 3 months later, apparently this is common with the young adults?) My asthmatic daughter was fine, so that's the other important thing. We've been so worried though this whole thing about that!

Get well soon, Frances.

Still have somehow managed to avoid it, despite almost everyone round here having it again now. Which is probably a good thing, as apparently I'm "clinically extremely vulnerable" if I do get it. But it's the folk festival this weekend, so we'll see after that...

Two of the daughters have had it, one of them twice. The eldest is still recovering, several weeks on.
Likes the warm feeling but is tired of all the dehydration.

Thanx.

I have a family member who has had a transplant and is older than myself and they fared well, luckily.
Being fully vaccinated and double boosted had to have helped.
I just feel like I have a Summer cold. But the body aches before I actually tested positive were pretty bad.
Still, nothing like the flu.
I’d rather have this than the flu.

I thought maybe I wasn’t gonna get this variant, because I avoided catching it from family that I am so close to.
Was thinking that the Vitamin D supplement I take helped.

Nope, I just got it on my own three weeks later.


I don’t want to get it twice, damn. :shock:
Good thoughts to your daughter.

A Lyft driver told me she got it 4 times. I wanted to jump out right then and there. LMAO.
Though, obviously I wear a mask in a rideshare.


Good luck!

I was just googling Low D for my post in the Niceties thread, and found out that we have our own Low D here, guess what, he’s a singer!

Here’s a sample of his, erm, passionate music: https://mx3.ch/t/1ILf

Listen carefully to hear the weirdness of our Swiss-german dialect!

You can't imagine the fear I had that this was gonna open to a clip of me off my tits singing my lungs out at a Flying Folk Friday back in the day...
