*sigh*

Yeah, they are out in force.

I seriously have had my fill today.  Too many ..you should be jumping through hoops for me... should i you miserable f'g prick?  You think the bank wants people like you?  Try that in the branch and they will thank you and close your accounts saying your business is not wanted. Dicks.

Thankfully most people today were all thank yous and stay safe and healthy... thanks for being there, thanks for waiving my fee or interest for a few months. Thanks for deferring my mortgage and loan payments.

Just one more day this week.

"I'm happy to comply with whatever you have in place."

I dislike these kind of people.  Lying through his teeth because he is too lazy to phone. So, let me go online and brow beat someone. I'm not too good at jumping… a stray foot may hit something tender and important.

Glad to hear that, tim. I have yet to run across a self-absorbed individual, but there’s still time, I guess.

Today they said … do not see your friends, do not make play dates for your kids, do not shop after travelling to stock up … this is not social distancing.  Do not go out unless you absolutely must for food or medicine. Order groceries if you can. 

Eleven new cases in Toronto today, not related to travel, no idea where these people caught this.  Wash your hands, all the time. 

Be careful out there.

“Due to the most recent COVID-19 epidemic, the Red Cross is providing every Canadian household with free surgical masks,” reads the message.

FYI

This message along with a link is being sent via text. It’s a scam as per local police.

They might also be trying it pretending to be the American Red  Cross, but I’m just guessing, I don’t know for sure. 

Quote

Representatives from the Canadian Red Cross also commented on this scam.

“This is not a message from Red Cross Canada & has no affiliation with Red Cross Canada,” reads a Tweet by Red Cross Digivols.

So.. AC sent this to me today ... he said, so what you said in After The Past about the virus is very plausible.   For those who have not read it.. i wrote that the virus killed more women than men... Covid-19 does the opposite

Hope everyone enjoys their day.

We've had a 40F drop in temp from yesterday to today, and wind gusts this morning over 30mph.  The hips are not amused.

Had  another conversation with SP last night about his spending more time here.  I think he's worrying too much about how we will adjust; I think he thinks I'm not concerned enough. I just feel that we've talked about everything we know might be an issue, and those things that pop up unexpectedly, we'll deal with as they arise.

Maybe asking him directly would help. "What do you feel I'm missing?" Then again, maybe it's more emotional too - something he can't articulate. You can find out, though.

Good luck. 🙂

I don't know ... not everything can be pre-planned or foreseen. The unexpected, the working together to resolve things, whether you argue about it or agree from the start, are part of a relationship. 

Michael and i are a couple. No matter what, or who, we work things out. We are stronger together than apart. 

Ask SP what he means ... and as my mom always said, Start as you mean to go on.

If anybody is looking for something to watch on Netflix ...

God's Own Country is a great gay love story.

HEAVY Yorkshire accents ... but worth trying to understand anyhow.

I figured I'd throw it out there in case you're trapped at home looking for something to do. 🙂

Okay. So one of the characters (the main character's father) in the film suffers from a stroke. Me ... a Kentucky boy is already trying hard to understand whatever it is that these people were doing to English, and then dad starts talking, and I'm like, "Okay, subtitle time."

Well, a stroke would do that .. you still have your Kentucky accent, boy??   The Yorkshire accent is old and has its roots in Norse and old English … so really, it's you doing 'things' to English.

No, not everything can be foreseen, which is my viewpoint. We'll just deal with things openly and honestly as they arise - and they will arise.  For him, I'm certain, there is more than a bit of fear involved even if he's not consciously aware of it -- it's been much much longer for him since he's lived with anyone [esp. anyone not just a room-mate] and he's never been in a long-term committed relationship.
