[CS Lounge] Aik's Popcorn Party for all!

I haven’t even looked this week. I did my weekly shopping last Sunday night. I did a Sam’s trip on Friday where the TP debacle happened, but meh. We are not in need. I still have a 32 pack of Charmin that has not even been opened yet. I am not stressing yet.

Though, work did fire somebody for taking TP home. Turns out they put a camera in the janitorial storeroom. Smart call.

Hahaha TP debacle. I love the term. It’s a new sign of our times.

Tonight is corned beef and tatos. I found some ground chuck and some polish sausage for the rest of the week. I’m trying to use the fresh stuff I get and keep the frozen/dried stuff for if they shut everything down. No one seems to want fresh veggies, there’s plenty of them.

Well, got an email today to reduce hours from 40 to 30, with a recommendation to apply for unemployment benefits for the difference. O_o I didn’t even know that was an option. (Definitely going to do it even if I’m not hurting, just because why have me and my employer pay in all these years if I don’t?)

I kind of wish I could make it a 4-day work week, but suspect my boss will prefer the 6 hours a day. At least being off the clock at 3pm will be \o/ fun.

I’ve done partial unemployment before when I was working construction. I drove an off-road dump truck and the company was in the process of doing a landfill.

Unfortunately, Georgia clay being what it is – even a hint of rain would shut us down for a few days. Any weeks we couldn’t work the whole week, we would get the partial unemployment.


On another note, I just completed a BG on an alt – she leveled 2 levels at end of it. That was unexpected. =)

I might need to start dragging my new pally through some BGs!! Lol!

She is fully rested and in full looms (both rings) with the Defending Champion trinket ( Experience gained from PvP Battlegrounds increased by 50%).

So running BGs has been a very good way to level up alts with this bonus XP event we have in game right now.

I prefer the TP apocalypse seems more fitting.

I’ve been getting two levels per dungeon, but that’s ones I haven’t done the quests for yet. Just under two without the quests.

Non-essential businesses have been closed for a while here, as have the schools. Last I checked 25,681 confirmed cases in the state, 3,324 hospitalized, 210 dead. Mostly downstate, my immediate area has only 106 confirmed cases and 3 dead. But the first case was only eleven days ago. :grimacing:

My wife did have to go out to fill two of my prescriptions ($756.00 co-pay) but otherwise we haven’t been out of this house in over a week now. We have a well-stocked pantry and freezer and no shortage of paper products.

Beginning to think I shouldn’t have given up alcohol for lent this year. :upside_down_face:

Not being fond of politicians in general (perhaps a side effect of growing up in a military family) I haven’t ever belonged to any party. But I do find that statement offensive.

This is why we need to pass my plan now…

Everywhere I turn I hear this when I see a politician on screen. The party does not matter. It drives me absolutely crazy right now.

In other news, I don’t feel like cooking tonight. I am eating chili with chopped up hot links inside, and some cheese. Debating on if I dice up some onion or not. Who am I kidding, we all know you can’t eat chili without diced up onion as well.

Think I’ve mentioned that my son and his gf set up a Charmin ‘forever roll’ subscription. My ex-wife had never heard of it, and in the course of explaining it to her, I saw that the website was showing all products out of stock. I went from being smug about having TP dropped on my doorstep on a regular basis, to not being sure I was going to get the next shipment.

Son sent me a screenshot of the email they got from Charmin saying that there is plenty of inventory to fulfill existing subscriptions. So I’m back to being smug about my TP situation. :smirk: :roll_of_toilet_paper:

I don’t know that I’d go as far as ‘offensive’, but this probably isn’t the most appropriate venue for such a comment. Nor do I think this the time for partisanship. Maybe we should just focus on people instead of parties.

came across a lvl 98 Rare Elite in the Plaguelands and wondered why it’s number was red…took me 5 seconds to realize that my Orc DK was only lvl 65, and this thing would do to me, what Sgt Hartman would do to Pvt Pyle, whenever he screws up.

thinking a short break, while watching Crendor’s Animal Crossing stream from yesterday may help. .-.

Bah. TL3 gone again. Looks like I got some readin to do.

I kind of felt the same way towards the end where the game demanded me to play with inhuman reflexes, but eventually I got it under control, and there are some parts where I had to lower the difficulty just to get through, the ‘Ultra Violence’ difficulty is no joke like it was in previous Doom games.

Also, I hate the Marauders in the game with an unholy passion, and of course they became a meme among Doom players

Ultra Violence on the old PC games were no where near as intense and complicated as this one.

I lost mine some time ago. No amount of reading seems to bring it back, and I did a lot of reading (I’m within spitting distance of 500k posts read). It bothered me for awhile, but I don’t know if I got my wrist slapped and didn’t get notified, or if I somehow failed to maintain TL3. And I’ve kinda lost interest in chasing it anymore.
