I’d try wearing the mask at home in low stress situations for increasing lengths of time. So start by sitting on the couch watching tv or listening to a podcast or music in the mask for, like five minutes. The next day, go for 7 or maybe 10. Just work up to it, a little at a time. Then try something low impact, but…

Hi kids, hope everyone is doing ok.

I’ve been working from home (immunocompromised) and I’ve been worried that I’ll get an email any day now saying “Turns out we don’t miss you, don’t come back!” This is not based on anything credible, I love my job and I’m not terrible at it, but I’ve felt really cut off and that’s…

I’ve written on these sites several times about my wife, a nurse, and how the best things I’ve been able to do to support her has been to scour the community begging and pleading for whatever PPE people are willing to donate for her and her team to be safe. Do you know which individuals have, by a ridiculous margin,…

Not on furniture, but my 13 yo daughter painted a giant chalkboard mural on her wall during quarantine

“Miss Congeniality” is my go-to movie when I need a boost - when I need to remind myself just how bad-ass I can be, even if I am awkward AF. (Also, the camaraderie from the women, especially at the end, warms my heart.)

All right, let’s get to the neologisms. Also, just so we’re clear, a neologism meaning a newly created word NOT, I repeat, NOT an alt-right ejaculation.

It’s a pity that a building that awesome looking has a Trump Hotel in it. 

A couple of things I thought really brought out his bona fides as a “uniter”

Will a time come when I won’t get misty-eyed anytime Obama addresses the nation?

I have no good solutions for you, except on the pickles front. For some reason, quarantine has led me down the rabbit hole of refrigerator pickling every vegetable I can get my hands on-I’ve pickled all the leftover carrots and celery I didn’t use for chicken soup last week, and I even learned how to make half-sour…

I miss getting a latte at a coffee shop with an outdoor patio and perusing a book while other humans chat around me. I’m sure I’ll take that for granted...eventually, but right now that sounds like the absolute pinnacle of hedonism.

I don’t live in Kentucky. I almost NEVER contribute to political campaigns. I donated to Amy McGrath who is running against Mitch this fall. I know if the Republicans retain control of the Senate and Mitch loses some other Trump shill will just take his place as speaker, however it will atleast make me feel better…

I have never had an anxiety attack before but after four days of tightness in my chest I thought I had coronavirus but I have none of the other symptoms. Then later my arm started hurting so I ended up in the emergency room because I thought it was my heart. So anxiety it is and it just won’t go away because every tim…

I just make sure that me and my own are well stocked and far away from any other human contact as possible. What other people decide to do is none of my business at this point.

We’re in a relatively safe town (only two cases in our county) in a relatively safe state (131 confirmed cases so far) and we’re relatively young and healthy but my anxiety levels have been SPIKING LIKE A MOFO for days. The “physical wellbeing of people you love” thing is worrisome enough, but I’m equally fretful over…

Hi Jezzies,

Inhofe, by the way, was one of the eight senators who voted against the relief bill that passed (90-8) earlier this week. So. Use that information however you see fit, Oklahomans.

I honestly read the headline as “socks” and was really looking forward to an article about crazy socks breaking senatorial protocol, or perhaps socks worn as a signal.  Am very disappointed and would love it if you could rewrite from a sock perspective.  

My dad sent me home tonight. My son kept coming after me.  I will try again tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll be stronger, more healed, better rested.

I’m an introvert and I think I’m going to be just fine because I live in a city.
Awhile ago I was trying to figure out why I like living in the city even though I’m an introvert. We don’t really go out much at all. Some of that is due to not having the funds for a full social life. Yet I absolutely hated when I’ve…
