Jackass whisperers against the cheap beer virus

[PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock]

Thread number...4?!? Fucking hell I've never been so popular.

Keep on keeping on and ,moan,whinge and laugh while you enjoy your deliveries and cackle evilly while you kill thousands.

All under the benevolent eye of your awesome , yellow and very ripe leader.

May the bleach be with you.

Orange I’m not on edited electoral roll thingy. I like my privacy.

Just had a depressing chat with mum, who is increasingly terrified of the virus and thinks my fears for Under His Eye are stupid and delusional. Found it quite upsetting tbh.

Yes I find it hard with older relatives getting anxious - it is hard to know what to say at times and find it makes me feel worse afterwards at times. I also feel pressure if haven't rang them, too. Not easy is it.

Yes i think I will just browse the nextdoor site, mainly do that anyway. Just stuff like things for sale etc.

Although some of them were on about singing over the rainbow after their clapping or something which I thought sounded depressing and dreadful.

@LilacTree1 don't take it to heart. The covid fear is in her face all day,everywhere on telly,SM,papers,people etc. The others are more abstract with probably a dose of "it'll never happen here" so she won't see it as real threat.

Most people also don't have the capacity to really fear multiple things at once, it would crumble them.

Princess it’s difficult. I never left London because of my parents, who had health issues from when I was a teen. Now I think, it wouldn’t have mattered if I’d moved away, she’d be quite happy listening to Covid hysteria all day.

It’s hard to explain....I don’t understand why it’s so strange to her that I worry for my future. Especially when such extremes have been invoked over something that affects such a tiny percentage of people.

@LilacTree1 I have much the same conversations with my mum and they make me thoroughly depressed. I know she's scared but she will blithely gloss over my fears about income and the future for my DC. It's all a bit oh yes well but the virus... nothing else seems to concern her which makes me quite sad.

We have the same with older relatives, who I have to say are on things like fixed income pensions after being in the police / forces, things like that. It's really hard when they don't seem to understand that you are not as secure.

CrowCat sorry you’re having this too.

She’s also pissed off with my sister because she thinks sister is only worried about the future and not worried about seeing mum. She complains that my sister has nothing to say on the phone....neither do I though. Suspension of normal lure makes normal conversation hard.

Today mum asked “who do you get these ridiculous ideas from” as if a) I’m not capable of thinking for myself and b) she wants to blame someone else for them.

I was also doing well not overeating today but now craving a chippy tea....not sure if they’re open though, they were Friday and Saturday but not last night.

*lure?

I mean life!

@LilacTree1 I get that from mine too, the whole having your own mind and thinking your own thoughts. She calls me half a dozen times a day (despite not living alone as she has my DB and sil there with her), and wonders why I have nothing to talk about. If I talk about the future/DC/economy/ott behaviour she shut me down, so what really is there to talk about? You can only say nice weather we're having so many times!

Oh if theres gonna be a book AND a movie I'm very much not like a young Catherine zeta Jones.

With apparently the broadest Yorkshire accent known to man.
I really think we should have gone full Monty with this virus either way. Let it run its course in 6 to 8 weeks, or lock us down in February right through til August.
I know what I would have gone with.

Aaand... that's why I fucked off at 23 and swapped countries.

Even when she tries to take control or goes into her rants about all the things wrong with her life she knows that 1.contact is on my terms and 2.it's pretty pointless so she eventually gives up.

At least we're in agreement on the Covid front since the restrictions are so strict where she is, she's not too fussed about the risk of getting it , but really struggling with the loss of freedom and loneliness .

Crow Princess I’ve never had this from her before

It’s very odd.

I’d go bonkers if anyone called half a dozen times a day. In fact I wouldn’t answer!

I can’t imagine being in a country with more restrictions, must be horrendous.

Just smile and wave (or the equivalent of phone conversations) and cut short when it becomes too much. Your fears are very different atm so she probably struggles to relate. A bit like some of the frothers on here... but of course no one wants to associate their mum with "one of them".

Princess yes I’ve been doing that but today I just burst into tears, then got told how stupid I’m being. I think I’ll just do a check in call the next couple of days.

I have my chippy tea! They’ve put a sign up saying “card machine broken”.

I'm so so sorry Lilac. Hugs

princess thank you.

If you want a truly depressing read see the thread about the pharmacist giving a hug.

Stop the planet, I wanna get off.

That pharmacist thread gives me visions of mumsnetters decending on the pharmacy, torches aflame, shouting 'burn the witch'.

I need to go and find this pharmacist thread ...

Bloody hell. Some of the posts on there. MN is full of these vultures at the moment. Deeply unpleasant

I wonder how shits and her arsehole are doing 😬

Evening all.
No murdering today as work all day. Lonnnnng boring apart from a couple of new bits to learn.
Bought plants before i left along with food to keep teens from killing and eating me so hopefully plant them.up.tomorrow

Hmm who would i choose to he me in this epic film? With a bit of a lot of artistic liscence Sigourney Weaver a la Ripley. Completely the opposite of me in every way but i can dream.😄😄

I have had a long enough day am staying far away from the frothers tonight😉 going to see if i can get The Golden Girls on catch up on ch5.

Too many posts to catch up individually but hope tomorrow is good to you all in every way.

I wanna be Dorothy when I grow up.
