Anonymous Coward User ID: 77197203 United States 04/21/2020 01:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I’ve gotten so much shit done. Quoting: Billy Slangs I’ve literally worked harder since being furloughed than I have in years. My belief is what happens at this point is out of my hands. Therefore I have been focused on what I can control. I’ve finished two rental property remodels. Normally I pay some guys to do these jobs but since I’m not working and don’t want others around me I’ve done these jobs myself. I’ve plowed and tilled the garden. Also added another patch for squash, cucumbers and other spreading crops. About twice the size garden I normally do. Ive hung fencing and gates at alternative entrances better securing my land in case I need to completely close off the outside world. I’ve cleaned up around an old well. Not that I use it but the fact it was hand dug and laid with rock in a time when life was more difficult, makes it very intriguing to me. It reminds me of what can be accomplished with hard work and perseverance. I’ve got a natural spring on the property which I have began developing into a better system. Installing pipes and a place to fill. Again just in case it’s ever needed. I’ve spent as much time outside as possible. Done a little fishing and took plenty of hikes. I make sure I’m exhausted and therefore go straight to sleep and get a good nights rest. Leaving no time for worrying or dwelling on this shit. I will not be beaten down by anxiety and stress. I will beat myself up with work, exercise and create my own thought patterns of positive progress. If society does completely collapse I will be in the best shape of my life and better prepared than anyone I know. Hopefully things can eventually get back to normal! If not, oh well then, fucking bring it! I will not sit around and wait to die! YOU GO GUY!!!! |

User ID: 78804363 United States 04/21/2020 02:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This period we are in is like limbo. The structures of our society have fundamentally broken, but we are yet to feel the impacts in our day to day. Societies take months, sometimes years to collapse. It won't be the overnight decline into anarchy that many people want. But this is happening and it's past the point of no return now. It'll just take a few months to catch up to the 'now'. Quoting: Chaosisfreedom So how you guys spending this weird period where everyone is continuing to act in the 'normal' but the economic inertia hasn't stopped yet? No judgement here, the government is paying some of us to get stoned and play video games all day, it's dope. But the steam is going to run out soon, I'd estimate we got about 4 months until it's approaching the anarchy territory most of you want. Til then, we living it up or what? Party at the end of the world, enjoy the top while it's still in. Or is it time to lock and load? Is this valuable prep time that could be priceless later on. The rue of those who wasted it. Could these few weeks of relative stability be the difference between life and death for some people? Everyone I know is still working so I’m not sure why so many are in limbo. Hell every business in my town and the next is open. Like everything....so get yo ass to work! What state are you in. What's the population of your town? |

Preparing/packing boxes. Hunting for good boxes when in-house lockdown permits. We are allowed one hour daily filling government forms, having proof of ID on us. Police state. They are ferocious, not only with the Yellow Vests but also with ordinary citizens going about their daily business and causing no trouble. No-go zones are always getting free passes. I came. I saw.

User ID: 77347043 Poland 04/21/2020 02:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm enjoying the quiet. Quoting: TlvmmCpoft Have you actually just sat still and listened? There are less cars on the roads, less movement, less chaos. You can actually hear the birds. Yes, those annoying birds. All birds should be banned to the farm! :) As an owl on the internet, I can assure you that I will kill the farmer long before I'm dragged back to any farm. I don't know what lies they told you, but I can promise they were lies. There's a fine line between training, trauma, and torture. |

User ID: 77094630 United States 04/21/2020 09:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Helping grandchild with distance learning schoolwork. Trying to find a new job. Trying to settle into to new residence. Dealing with an alcoholic ex-son in law, which is why I had to move otherwise my grandson would not be able to progress to the next grade since our liberal governor refuses to open things back up. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75257999 Lost my job where I lived previously because I had a low grade fever, local health department refused to test, and my employer wouldn't allow me to return to work even with PPE nor would they pay me beyond PTO. Still have the low grade fever 5 weeks later due to chronic sinus issues. Tele-health would not prescribe antibiotics. The new residence is a whole other beast (70's trailer). Literally, one of two places available to rent at the time I relocated two weeks ago. It's a lot at the moment. I'm overwhelmed. I'm alone. I could really use some prayers if anyone is willing. Prayers Sent. They're 'Counting the Omer' for 50 days which began April 12th (the first day after the Passover sabbath) so you now only have to hang on for about 6 weeks, until May 29th. Then we'll be out of here. THANK YOU! Your prayers mean so much to me! Niwot |
