We are exercising at home and getting out walking, but no exercising as intensely as we were in the gym. Also started drinking more. Our snack ratio has gone up as well, though we were home all the time before, so not sure why. So with some trepidation I climbed on the scale this week, and found I had not gained an ounce.
I went downstairs and popped a beer and bag of chips for breakfast.

I'm the same. But then again, I'm (along with my family) the COVID control group. Haven't had the luxury of forced life suspension. Still working, going to the store, helping the elderly couple next door when he falls because of his dementia, cutting the grass, walking the dog, and generally waving my privates in the general direction of this ridiculous panic.
Still don't have time to give a shit about my weight.

Tell that to all the people who have lost loved ones to the virus. I don't think it's a ridiculous panic.

Losing your job and losing loved ones are 2 different things. Unemployment now seems to be paying well with the 600.00 bonus per week.

But, of course, you don't actually care since you've got yours and really don't have to wrestle with that.
Nice.

No reason to leave your house and go to work.

Welcome back, Peter. Haven't lost your acerbic take on the world. With all your carefree galavanting about, I hope you are at least wearing a mask and washing your hands excessively. If I remember correctly, you are an insulin dependent diabetic. Be careful please. Diabetes and Covid do not mix well.

If I remember correctly, you are an insulin dependent diabetic. Be careful please. Diabetes and Covid do not mix well. Diabetes and a heart attack. And, no, no masks. Most people out here aren't into that either. By the way, how are you doing in the emergency room? Still 18 hour days up to your elbows in sputum, blood, and soiled PPE? Did the projected 2.5 million dead apocalypse ever show up? Or was that just hype? Or is yours one of those hospital systems facing bankruptcy because they cleared out all the paying customers to face the legendary pandemic?

They have me doing telemedicine from home and I appreciate it. I am in Family Practice now, have been for 5 years. I only have 2 patients in the hospital now on ventilators with Covid. But, hey, it's just scare tactics, right?

The humor seems a little forced. There's no way Ellen DeGeneres would settle for being an apostrophe.

Dear ProBoards,
Can you add some sort of tracking icon to threads that indicates, "this once-innocuous thread has turned into a political shitshow" so I can figure out what threads to avoid? It's getting harder and harder to tell by looking at the title or first page content which threads are going to be hijacked.
Thanks, John
