Just because people dress like farmers or cowboys doesn't mean they are. They just want to look like REAL MEN.

I don't think you can get a funeral delivered, but we may find out.

You may be joking but I see a May 2020 calendar in the bottom right.

And this is why we are going to have a spike in cases end of August beginning of September, followed by a HUGE spike in cases later in the year. These assholes. Do they think that nobody else wants the Beforetimes back? I do. I do so much. I want to go get my hair done and nails done and meet up with friends for a drink and some bad karaoke. But I won't put other people at risk just to indulge my wants.

I'm a nurse. My oldest son is working as a certified nursing assistant this summer, between terms at university. We both have seen people die of COVID-19, have been in the room and it is not a pretty death. It is not a death with loved ones at the bedside--at best, you have a nurse or RT or CNA sitting with you in full PPE, in your negative pressure room, holding your hand--if you can tolerate being touched.

These fuckers need to be forced to sit for twelve hours with a COVID-19 patient on a ventilator, and then they can go to the damn bar.

The coffee was too hot, yes that was a very bad thing, that needed changed but the warning on the cup seemed ridiculous.

What was on the label?

Yeah, well, to each her own. If I go there for a damn cup of coffee, I don't want it to cause second-degree burns, so at least McDonald's corporate got this restaurant to turn down the damn temperature. If only Ford had spent $11 more on each Pinto it made...

I don't drink coffee, but it's their pseudo-food that I take exception to, their hamburger tastes like I would imagine a half incinerated hockey puck would taste, although their fries can be edible if they are fresh. But yes, to each his own.

Just because they're farmers? That can't be right.

They don't read the labels anyway.

Just asking for a friend: in 2020, what is the draw of drinking in bars??? I was a barfly in LA in the 90s, when people used to actually talk with each other and perhaps make friends/connections - now everyone is on their screens, no? Also, it's freaking expensive! For $5.99 I can get a decent Pinot Grigio and chat with online pals, at home with my cats. Do not understand :(

I have seen some documentaries on the case and followed it closely at the time. I also know her idiot grandson pulled ahead while she had her lid of of her cup. Yes their coffee was too hot, but it was her grandson's fault.

ISTR that Wisconsin has more bars per capita than any other state. It's deep in their culture.

I laid in two quarts of Everclear before things got out of hand. I figured, it works for antiseptic for treating wounds, mix it with some aloe vera and I have hand sanitizer and if things get really bad, at least those last martinis will be doozies.
