All: the feels!

I: can't quite say I'm going through the same
But: cancellations for the Zie-lings' friends parties abound
Keeping: youth athletes cooped up in the house
Is: absolutely maddening
There: is a notable deficiency in the house's liquor stock

[Totentanzen]

I: sometimes wish I enjoyed drinking
Instead: I just eat my feelings.
In: The last 3 years I have dropped over 100 lbs
I've: Gained 20 back now.
Thanks: Corona

[Admin Dirk]

That's still: a negative net 80

Nothing wrong with that!

[Ziether]

One: class left in my degree program...
Other: than in-class observation and student teaching
Can't: observe classes that aren't happening
Probably: having my credential pushed back by another term

I'm searching through the internet. I really need to bookmark my favorite name generator. It is seemingly harder to find it and I don't remember its name at the moment... And I come across this top of every page announcement (I didn't look too far into the site, it was forum based, could have been PBP based. So I won't be sharing the site name because I follow the rules)

And it read

Regarding the COV-19 virus and its effects:

Things are frustrating, and confusing, and scary. People dream up conspiracy theories to help make sense of things. They're not helpful, though, and only serve to make the world more confusing and scarier.

We're not going to have that here. If there's new information to be shared, share it, but cite your information to a reputable source. And we swear to God, if anyone comes in here and starts spouting off QAnon (bad word) about COVID-19 or literally anything else, you are going to get permabanned so thoroughly that your grandchildren won't be allowed to post here.

We haven't had to make an announcement like this. So I wanted to point out that this community is amazing, the staff and admins are amazing, and finally I want to say thank you to everyone for a great RPG community and please don't change.

I: recommend fantasynamegenerators.com
And: behindthename.com (and surnames.behindthename.com)
And: names.mongabay.com (US census data 1990? 2000?)
For: names.
The: first has a bunch of presets
The: second lets you look up by origin,
And: has a bunch of features like finding
Meanings: that fit your character.

I: am getting rather sick of whatever
It is: my upstairs neighbor keeps doing
It: could be exercise related
Because: she does it at least once a day.
I would: call her if I knew her number
But: don't want to approach her
Because: she's elderly and I've just been out.

Children: have limitless energy
But: not for useful things
Chatter: kills writing skills
Proximity: amplifies irritability
Need: true solitude to recharge
Introversion: overwhelmed more and more by the day

[Admin Dirk]

@ziether
Cement kilns: are still operational
Could be: a solution
Depends on: whose kids

[Ziether]

@Dirk

Kids: are absolutely mine
Procreation: might not have been wise
Wisdom: is my confirmed dump stat
Counterpoint: they're insanely cute
Genetics: must favor their mother
Disposal: causes problems with the pretty lady

grr: "desk" chair (ie, dining table chair repositioned into my bedroom to 'work from home' at) is not good.

It's: an old wooden thing, inherited from my wife's grandparents. It's slowly coming apart whenever i dare lean against it.
And: my back is not appreciating it. Coudln't sit down for more than ~an hour yesterday without having to go lie down for twice as long.

Not sure: whether it will finally break, or my back will, first.

[Aethera]

Try: putting a pillow at your low back?
Lumbar: support is a thing.
I have: chairs like that,
But: I also bought a fancy desk chair
Since: I sit here so darn much.
Good: luck?

[Securis]

Life: is bittersweet.

[Aethera]

But: your poetry is wonderful.
My: condolences.

[Securis]

Thank: you.

[Mectain]

Happy: For this niceish weather
Awesome: Motorcycle rides can be taken
On: My new to me bike
