She's a business owner that was probably impacted by the first series of shutdowns. She doesn't need to then run off customers based on her violating some social distancing rule.Getting my hair cut by a Texas girl in a Texas town this morning. Just trying to make small talk, I asked about her plans for Thanksgiving and she APOLOGIZED that there would be 15 family members getting together. It is insane.
Are your parents sick or something?Up in knoxville to be with my sisters since we cant do Thanksgiving with my parents. Since my parents are locking down they asked me to hit a store up for them on some items.
Dropped off at the house and it was like some disgusting Halmark bs. I drive in, park, , it's raining, get the stuff, leave on the front porch. Ring the door bell, and back up into the rain. Parents came out to get the goods and wave I could tell my mom wanted to give a hug to me. I did too, Covid or no. That tore me up, not being with my parents. It felt so bad.
Exchanged pleasantries and said good bye. Choked up. Cause it seemed like way more serious of a situation than it was.
Talked with them on the phone afterwards because that was not nearly enough contact for any of us. Mom said she finally knew how had dad felt getting some type of radioactive treatment and not being able to hold us as kids.
Damn but do I see how people could go through some mental issues with this nonsense.
Sisters and I are going to call and talk with them tomorrow to do the blessing and talk while we eat lunch.
I hear you. My middle son developed a snotty nose and chills this evening, so no Thanksgiving dinner with my parents tomorrow, now. I haven't hugged my mom or dad in probably two months, since I'm bathed in viruses on a daily basis and they are high risk.Up in knoxville to be with my sisters since we cant do Thanksgiving with my parents.

Dad had symptoms for a day. So before family came in they got tested. On saturday I believe. They were told they wouldnt get their respnses until after Thanksgiving. And not because of a backlog. Same place they have been before with no issues in the past. My mom is thinking there was an unspoken "because the powers that be dont want you to gather so they are kept in limbo".Are your parents sick or something?
If I knew I could avoid the lockdowns and not seeing family by getting it and getting over it I would be out there licking handrails.I hear you.

I swear, if I didn't have to miss 10 days of work, I would just go infect myself intentionally and get this $#!+ over with so we don't have to be so scared for them all winter.
Hope everybody in the family is okay.Dad had symptoms for a day. So before family came in they got tested. On saturday I believe.

My wife is already tired of the new North Carolina mask mandate that makes it a misdemeanor..... we were at wal mart last night and every person we passed that didn’t have masks on(around 14)..... I did the Andy Griffith show.... “Citizen’s arrest, Citizen’s arrest” as they passed by.That security officer is going to court.
