I hate the holidays normally, but the thought of doing ANOTHER YEAR of this has gotten me really down in the dumps. I have no one to talk to about this and no one left in my life. Things really suck a big fat cock at the moment. On the plus side, I get to look forward to my $7000 deductible spinning up anew on 1/1/26. Yaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy............

How are you all doing?

I'll have to look at the article again but I bookmarked it some years ago thinking it was ok at the time. Nobody hassles me about wearing a mask around here: do you get flak about it?

Yeah I know what you mean about family members. It's a problem for me too, but nothing has happened yet as far as I know.

I've heard of Taylor Lorenz but don't know who she is beyond what a quick web search just told me. Name collision with Taylor Swift I guess.

OH YEAH. Tons of dirty looks like I've got the bubonic plague.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's almost never an issue around here. I generally have some spare masks with me and offer to give the person one if they say something about mine.
