The Crone of the Three Fates (her sisters are The Maid and The Matron) cuts the thread of our lives after her sisters spin it from the fleece of destiny.

NO ONE beats The Crone.

Does he need any help?

Just asking.

I don't know its origin--but OK, unless my memory fails me, I won't post that here any longer.

a picture of him shirtless and riding a bear and yes, I do apologize for putting that mental image in your head. https://media.giphy.com/med...

To be fair, they've been thinking about, and dealing with, infectious disease transmission since at least when AIDS broke out. And really, since before then, for non-AIDS STDs.

But still: they understand rigorous testing regimes, pre- and a-symptomatic transmission, and sanitization.

Yep. This is 100%. Then there's the lovebombing right? You're managing to get away so they try to pull you back in.

Also they're feeling bad so they hit out but they hit the wrong nerve so instead its funny because they can't understand you because they've built up the projection so much.

I'm still confused at times how they make an absolute Drama out of things that can be easily solved. But the things that are problems they deny or outright ignore.

I hope you're in a happy and safe place.

I was afraid to look. A Jon McNaughton painting tried to form in my head, but I ran over it with extreme prejudice punctuated by foul and cold language.

Steroids make me feel good, too, when I take them for lupus flares. But when they're gone, the crushing fatigue is a kick in the teeth that lasts for days. The Dumpster may have an ugly withdrawal.

I can't stand talking on the phone, it shows you what an old fart he is. He probably thinks advertising on the radio is a great idea.

If you can stand to listen to "conservative" talk radio, the ads are generally for curing IRS or credit card debt, over-priced "collectible" gold coins, natural prostate treatments, and various nostrums for guys who can't whip it up anymore. The demographic, based on the ads, is very clear.

I'd rather have the roaches.

I'm always amazed that people so fucking stupid can actually function in society. You know, without poking themselves in the eyes with a fork while eating, or crapping in a kitchen drawer.

I got something, probably last Monday getting groceries and visiting the hardware store. Everybody I saw (including me) was wearing a mask, at least inside the stores. Started feeling tired on Thursday, got a stuffed up nose (not massive, and no headache), but that's it. No fever, no coughing. From what I've been reading, it might be a cold. Got tested this morning, and I should find out in a day or two.

I thought that once you started feeling tired that most of the time fever and coughing would show up pretty soon afterwards, but C19 has a large smorgasbord of symptoms.

I think it's 'roid bloat.
