Not just for the weekend, but mostly for two days where we're less likely to read about C Ward site issues.
Lol, if you think hearing about it is bad, try living through that traumatic experience.

Must still be using a 56k modem for broadband.

And yet another CW complaint here.
Darn it.

Ordered Smash Burger via Door Dash tonight. Having truffle mayo added to my burger was the correct choice. OMG.

Not sure if this is a random thought or true confession: I lost track of time brushing my teeth (with an electric toothbrush) while browsing MoT Forum. Now my mouth feels super clean. Oh, pun unintended.

Topic of "wedgies" came up at tonight's family dinner. Upon my reading of the Wikipedia definition, Mrs. Donut declared that the article itself was deserving of a wedgie.
A wedgie is the act of forcibly pulling a person's underpants upwards from the back. The act is often performed as a school prank or a form of bullying.

Wedgies are commonly featured in popular works, either as a form of low comedy or as a behaviour representative of bullying. In such works, briefs are usually the type of underpants that are worn by the victim.

The photographic examples are amusing.

Yep, wedgies happened all the time when I was at school (not to me...well, maybe once or twice).

Social distancing has certainly been really hard on pickpockets.

One of my favorite quotes about the pandemic came from Ice T. Something along the lines of "if somebody owes you money, go get it. You KNOW they are home!"

Met him and his wife once.

He's shorter than I expected. Decent handshake though.

Any thoughts on Karens burning 5g towers because they believe it causes the coronavirus? Not to mention the articles about people/Karens complaining a 5g tower was authorized for their area w/out their permission (the radiation, no!!!!).

As for as I can tell, there is a HUGE overlap between these people and anti-vaxxers as well............ I guess those facebook conspiracy theories all run in the same circles.

Sounds like a futuristic distopian novel to me. Or:
This new person came to town and it hasn’t rained since they arrived. Must be a witch, burn them!

There will always be those on the fringe, but it feels like the fringe is edging closer and closer to the center lately.

It is very scary and I don’t know what to think any more.
