10 villains breathing , 9 bbqs smoking, 8 online deliveries

[PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock]

7 friends laughing
6 flaps bleached
5 covid masks
4 cool kids smoking
3 deadly hangovers
2 claps a' missin

And a partridge in a pear tree. Socially distancing of course.

Thread number something? Forgot to keep count.

That's why I have you murderous, despicable , flappy villains.

It's not like people have chosen to be furloughed. A friend of mine had literally, after ages of trying this and that, just got himself into a job (apprenticeship type) that he was enjoying and doing very well at. He's furloughed with no idea when or indeed if he's going back and is devastated by it. If he wants to go to the beach or the park or whatever, I don't begrudge him that just because I am secure in my WFH job - that would be bizarre.

God yes the competative misery on here!
Its like a race to the bottom. "How dare you complain about your lack of regular hospital treatments, toothache, sciatica or be depressed as hell "YOU AREN'T DEAD stop being a snowflake. I have chosen to stay indoors for weeks, i dont even go in my garden in case neighbours have breathed on it. i get those expendable shop workers to provide my shopping for me i am certainly not going near the plague ridden plebs. I try to make sure that everyone else stays home by policing them on SM. I am the only one who knows what you deserve and thats to do as i say. You are lucky to be still breathing so be grateful. Having fun is not allowed, having half a life isnt allowed because martyrs like me are saving the world and you should be so grateful and be as miserable as i am. Only fucking covid matters you dont."

Am avoiding many threads as my default reply to so many posts would now be "fuck off you ignorant gobshite" they literally have no critical thinking left at all and i dont want the hassle. I have peak dementored!🤣🤣🤣

There's a thread going on about the low deaths in healthy under 45s, and half the replies are along the lines of, "People with underlying conditions don't deserve to die!" When literally no one on that thread has suggested that those with underlying conditions should be forced to do anything they don't want to.

It seems we aren't allowed to say that some people are at a very low risk of dying from this, just because some people are at a high risk? And yet the same people would shout, "Follow the science!".

I looked at the stats and as far as I can tell I'm more likely to die in childbirth than to die of Covid. So as I don't worry about one of those things (although it does happen) I'm not going to worry about the other either.

Clearly we're not allowed to be single parents/healthy/under a certain age/living/furloughed without someone shouting at us. Without someone saying well at least you're not DEAD. Well no, I'm not, and I'd like to get back to living my life if that's ok?? Without being shouted at.

a typical example of how single aorenst are viewed....

A poster on another thread said that women need a mans wage.

Apparently, single mothers just live with abuive step dads being raped and abused...or are homeless?

Single mothers are homeless or abused.....though if they live with their partner how are they also single?

I can top that. When all the arguments were going on about no kids in shops some poster actually said "well you chose to be a single parent so now you just have to deal with it".

What I found highly ironic are all the excuses for that twat DC who has plenty of money and resources but no allowances are ever made for poor people,single parents etc . They must find a way, at all costs.

But of poor Cummings he must've been desperate and so afraid to do what he did.

Trevsadick
Yeah us bloody idiotic single parents how dare we? I have kept a roof over my kids head for years. I have worked some utterly soul destroying jobs being bullied daily just to keep us going.
But yeah its all my fault thier dad swanned off and was with someone else a few months later. I have been on my own for years as i put kids first due to.thier needs. People like that can ftfo.

When tesco on IOM stopped single mums with kids going in the response was horrific on here. I got pretty angry🤔 mine are old enough to take care of themselves but it could have been me, sod letting that lie.

Oh I've had a few people tell me I 'chose' to be a single parent because I left my abusive twat exh when he laid hands on my DS. Well if the other option was staying with someone who degraded me daily and physically assaulted my 13yo son then yeah damn right I chose to be a single parent. But it doesn't mean it was how I saw my life panning out.

You see so many threads on here with posters encouraging the OP to 'leave the bastard' but those of us who actually do are merrily demonised on the next thread for being single parents??

Fucking people.

Princess
Yeah bless him. All those staff and houses to chose from what a desperate choice he had! Driving 300 miles was obviously the easiest one especially when you could go for a lovely walk in the wilds while there
Tosser!

I can top that. When all the arguments were going on about no kids in shops some poster actually said "well you chose to be a single parent so now you just have to deal with it"

Yep been there before.

Not sure how you can choose to be raped by your husband. Or are they saying we should have stayed in these bad situations?

It seems that women always seem to be responsible for the wrongs of men in some way or another.

Yes responsible for the wrong doing of men.

But, then, apparantly we all have no power and have no choices, as well. According to the other thread.

Now this is a hero !

The comments are hilarious.

Thats amazing! 🤣🤣🤣

It got deleted pretty quick, but A LOT of people took screenshots and are retweeting all over the place.

Nope not just you, I suppose to counter balance all "fuck it, I'm doing x,y,z now" threads .

You know, a friendly reminder that the neighbourhood watch is still..well... watching.

There's a report for typhoid one now

That's something I didn't think I'd read.

I posted on the 'has your child met another child' thread. Seems the rule sticklers are in the minority now going by the responses on there.

Went to a garden centre yesterday. It made me think of Noah's ark, the gardeners went in two by two, hurrah! hurrah!

All very civilised.

I can't get worked up about Dominic Cummings. I expect my politicians to be self serving and morally bankrupt. They seldom let me down.

I also can't get worked up if neighbours decide to end total isolation. I am lucky, DH does the shopping so my life revolves around work and allotment.

DD1 is a biochemist working close to and sometimes involved in Covid19 related developments. This has given us more of an insight into the real risks than most probably get. We take our advice from her. She has also helped DM and DB, keeping them pragmatic in their approach to the risks to them.

We are going to the garden centre today.

Dd staying with ds (she is almost 16). Me and dp are going so we can talk and get some stuff so I can have something to do. Ours has a butchers so will get some meat for there so I dont have to go to the supermarket. I am looking forward to it.

Really going to look into booking a week off.

How are things between you and dp trev?

They are ok. He is still at his sisters. We have been for walk and talked a bit. He came round and sat in the garden to see the kids and dogs (socially distant of course since we are separate household).

I have been for a couple of walks with his sister. Though she is his sister, we have a long history and we are closer. She says he is taking his anti depressants and engaging with his gp every week. I trust her with my life and she wouldnt lie. If I said I don't want him back she would support me 100%.

He seems a bit better in himself. He says talking to his gp is helping. He seems more relaxed and chilled out.

The break has done us good. Work is less stressful. I have another member back tomorrow. I am actually getting a tan, simce I have had time to spend outside. I think I am lucky really. I qm in a good position that I dont need to take him back, or feel like I need to.

I think its going to be ok. Just dont want to rush into him coming back.

Just dont want to rush into him coming back.

Makes perfect sense . If it was me I'd wait at least until things were a bit more free if that makes sense. Back at work, being able to go out , see friends etc so you can have space when you need it and outlets for your feelings.

Brilliant day today.

Sun was burning, water fight, KFC picnic life was good. It felt... normal.
