Half of us are going to come out of this quarantine as amazing cooks. The other half will come out with a drinking problem.
I used to spin that toilet paper like I was on Wheel of Fortune. Now I turn it like I'm cracking a safe.
I need to practice social-distancing from the refrigerator.
Still haven't decided where to go for Easter ----- The Living Room or The Bedroom
PSA: every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.
Homeschooling is going well. 2 students suspended for fighting and 1 teacher fired for drinking on the job.
I don't think anyone expected that when we changed the clocks we'd go from Standard Time to the Twilight Zone
This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came into my house, told my dog..... we laughed a lot.
So, after this quarantine.....will the producers of My 600 Pound Life just find me or do I find them?
Quarantine Day 5: Went to this restaurant called THE KITCHEN. You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have no clue how this place is still in business.
My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.
Day 5 of Homeschooling: One of these little monsters called in a bomb threat
I'm so excited --- it's time to take out the garbage. What should I wear?
I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to Puerto Backyarda. I'm getting tired of Los Livingroom.
Classified Ad: Single man with toilet paper seeks woman with hand sanitizer for good clean fun.
Day 6 of Homeschooling: My child just said "I hope I don't have the same teacher next year".... I'm offended.
The maid called yesterday and we did a ZOOM home maintenance session. She talked me through vacuuming and making the beds. And she reduced her rate by 10%!

I don't cook and never will and I am much more of a soda and coffee drinker than alcohol drinker so neither applies to me.
Great jokes by the way!

We saw an aeroplane flying overhead yesterday and reacted like the tribesman recently photographed by air in the remote Amazonian Rainforest.
It was a B52. Why is that flying over middle of England one wonders.

Why it's on its way to Schweinfurt of course to bomb the ball bearing production facility located there!

Look for me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Tic Toc...or anywhere you may frequent, besides SimHq, on the Global Scam Net. Aka, the internet. I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm suffering from Lockdown Hair. No barbers are open for many weeks now. If & when the pubs reopen here in Prague, that first day is going to see a lot of big hair. It will be like being back in the 80s.
"They might look the same, but they don't taste the same."
Only booze I've had since this all started was two shots of Vodka (and only my second drink of the year), but tonight I'm going to blend a Bacardi concoction of frozen fruit girly drinks for date night. A nice buzz with a proper 80's playlist is just the ticket, since all my real tickets are being refunded . I'm missing live Rock so badly (small standing venues, not so much being seated/arenas).

About eating/weight...
I've always known that portion size was the answer but could never pull it off...until now. I'm getting results with a steady routine and a rationing mentality (~2,000 quality calories/day with daily workouts). I'm soon going to surpass my 2009 size and weight and then 1988 (age 20, still have some clothes to verify). Just making the best of the situation, will post pics on the Diet and Training thread when this is over.
Also getting occasional farmer's market delivery of fresh produce and eggs. If I can just keep my current habits when this is over (especially with portion sizes, that's the key).

I'm seeing the same Mark. I'm slowly losing the pounds and we have at least another 3 weeks of lock-down to go. I'm not exactly exercising much,just working out with some light weights for about 30 mins a day to keep me moving.

I've not gone to a barber in years... no, decades.
I cut/shave my hair myself. In fact, I recently cut it ALL myself:

Tell me about it. I'm now rocking a serious mullet and although my barber is kinda used to me only seeing him once every 3 months (you need to invest 3-4 hours of waiting to be cut by him), I feel disgusting and unclean by having it.
After all those movies and video games based on the apocalypse theme, I've never thought about hair-cutting as being one of the major issues

My wife bought an electric hair-cutting kit recently so she cuts my hair for now. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones!
@F4U - Now that's a pretty cool Stonewall Jackson-like beard you used to have there!

LOL, I had not thought of that. But here is a picture of my father from ~1968 where I think he looks a lot like Stonewall:
