Dementors Begone!

[ThatLibraryMiss]

Take your shaming and your doom and gloom somewhere else.

I have only joined because I have found my people.

I have personally slaughtered grannies left right and centre with extreme prejudice by going out for a mars bar this morning.

DressingGownofDoom. Lol. That's put a smile back on my miserable dementored face.

My answer to the VE dementors is I commemorated it by standing in a queue outside the local shop in order to buy my rations for the week.

As an aside to all the murrdering etc is anyone else finding it's not so easy to credit card tart atm?

Trying to look for a new zero percent card on credit karma and there don't seem so many good offers. Must be karma for all the KILLING I guess

Don't want to ask in the main pages as I got such a hard time for mentioning the child trust fund savings had gone down also.

How can you think about your child's savings for uni being decimated when people are DYING etc

I accidentally posted something in a different thread that I thought was this thread and no doubt the Dementors will be coming for me after what I put. It was about schools.

Urgh, I'm finding the "pick a relative you want to die" and "if you want a party it means you'll have a funeral" type posts REALLY fucking grating.

The worst bit of this whole fucking thing is having to read sanctimonious shite from people who haven't recently lost a relative and have no idea how hard it is not to see your family and friends if you have.

I'd also hazard a guess that a fair proportion of lockdown flouters are the actual fucking bereaved! I certainly bent the rules a wee bit a couple of times over the last couple of weeks.

Willitneverend

I hear you. I had one not so long ago that said "oh you wouldn't want lock down lifted if you'd lost a relative"

That's precisely why I want the bloody thing lifted so I can mourn with my family. Until some of these dementors have been through it they have no fucking clue how hard it is.

Not everyone has a kind, loving family. The pick a relative you want to die thing could spectacularly backfire if someone actually did, citing abuse as the reason they picked that person. The dementor would have to quickly backtrack to explain that you don’t actually get to pick a relative after all...

Oooh: 'coughing up lung cells' is the new 'drowning' ... Actually to be fair I'm not a doctor and I think a few cells could detach and be coughed up. But it's the glee with which these things are written...it's really odd.
So we've now moved from EGGS to MONEY. And for children. I hope we are all ASHAMED of ourselves. You can't use money when you're DEAD.
(Credit and saving both equally difficult at the moment I think.)

The problem is it's like East Germany. No one knows who the Stasi/Dementors are so no one knows how to act around anyone. I did an accidental (i.e. I forgot) non-socially distanced passing over the garden fence the other day and then worried for ages that my neighbour was sitting indoors talking about how I might have literally murdered her.

Maybe we need some sort of secret sign like the masons. Obviously a handshake is out.

I have a particularly nasty cousin who'd be right at the top of my (s)hit list.

Try MBNA, they write to me with a 0% offer every month.

Obviously we are all ‘not quite getting it’.....whatever ‘it’ is!

@trappedsincesundaymorn I know! They seem to have some sort of massive cognitive disconnect between posting shite about hypothetical deaths and relatives, and the realisation that a lot of people have died of covid and in the excess deaths spike, whose relatives are actually on their social media. Give me strength...

I’m not a doctor either but seeing as rubbing a cotton bud over the inside of your cheek detaches enough cell to be used for a DNA test I’d imagine a good bought of coughing which brings up mucus would result in coughed up lung cells.

Try MBNA, they write to me with a 0% offer every month

thanks, yes just tried the but instead dog the usual 25 months they are offering 10 months interest free balance transfer with a sneaky 3.5% transfer charge! Halifax might be another, will try next month when my card offer runs out

Ah must remember not to engage. Family now telling me their population density is lower so is much much less chance of them getting anyone with covid in Scotland (despite them living centrally with 800 cases in their area) OK. It's not worth reasoning with them, just tell dad to keep on washing his hands and hope for the best

Bark and Cheese. That's so true. And it doesn't even have to be due to anything awful like abuse.
One of the things I've been tempted to post to give me a giggle on some of my more depressed days is that given the dementor- world choice between 1. my DC having as good, happy, and enriching a life as possible, and 2. my elderly mum - with numerous awful health issues including dementia - getting Covid, I would choose the latter. I just don't know which way the frothing would go!
Anyway no choice needs to be made because we're all going to DIE of blood coming out of our ears. Or something.

I have to be honest the dementors have confused me slightly today. On a FB thread some are having a bit of a whinge about those over 70 being out....yet on another thread their whinging about people not celebrating and paying tribute to those "who survived the war and are much more resilient than the younger generations". So should they be in, out doubt they can shake it all about....it's like the OAP cokey on the village page.

Can I add this beauty from one of my dementors....

“A 6 week old baby has just DIED from Covid. Some of you need to give your bloody head a wobble.”

Obviously we are all ‘not quite getting it

I'm nowhere bloody near 'getting it' unfortunately, seeing as DP and I don't live together yet

Maybe if I was 'getting it' I might not be so angry right now. I'd definitely be sleeping better...

@iamapixie I imagine the response would be something like "I don't see why your child can't have an enriching life in the house with you. Why don't you do some baking and craft projects like me. ISN'T IT SAD HOW SOME PARENTS DON'T WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH THEIR OWN CHILDREN".

Also can I add hypocrite dementors?
I've one who constantly posts stuff like that "pick one of your relatives to die" posts....but she neglects to post that during lockdown she has had her mum over most days and a birthday party for her DS....while her brother constantly flits between his and his girlfriends house.
And another who works for the nhs (admin but youd think she was an ICU nurse...not that I'm belittling admin at all) who posts "can you just all stay at home so I can stay saving lives, risking my life so you dont have to" who has just been to her holiday home in Cyprus.
Tbh I couldn't care less what they do,their risk, their life but don't tell me I'm murdering my granny by popping to the shop for a bottle of wine or dooming my child by hoping he goes back to school, or making out I'm selfish when I admit I'm struggling with full time work and home school....pipe the fuck down.
Now, where's that wine?

We had that fire meme shared around the local FB groups.

A lovely old fashioned warehouse converted into luxury flats had just caught fire right at the start of lockdown - burnt almost to the point of nothing left, a load of people made homeless and seeking temporary accommodation... and no one thought it was utterly insensitive to fucking share THAT round?!
