An apology is owed and a non response to ignored posters should be considered.

I read his posts just now after reading your post. They were hardly in the spirit of why I started this thread. I don't care. The old man hates me. I already knew that before I started this fucking thread that he would jump all over it.

Kinda like bringing along a condom, I s'pose. I'm not hugging on people and there are some I avoid for now, just to be super double-duper sure I don't inadvertently infect them as they are in a higher risk catagory. However, no visitors in my joint is still an enforced rule for a little longer. Shoot howdy, I've made it through the I-35 and Hester's Crossing at 4 PM on a Friday at full speed. Take advantage while you can. Gridlock resumes in 3...2...1

For some reason, I start a thread that I didn't want to be s shit show and that's exactly where it's about to go. Many of you are quite the silly immature fuckers in here.

This thread doesn't have a fucking thing to do about politics, Leave that out. Get along and act like adults.

LOL!

Point well made!

On that topic I owe you an apology. I've gone off on people twice I can remember with no reason, and one of them was you. The other was Chung Tran, but he probably deserved it for some reason or the other.

My suggestion is for posters to put the people they find annoying trolls on ignore. Nothing makes me happier than opening a thread and seeing half the posts collapsed. That means I don't have to waste my time reading their responses that I've already read 5 times before.

My other suggestion is having the software enhanced so that threads and quotes from these ignored people are collapsed. I haven't been enlightened or entertained by these ignored posters in years.

I do agree with your (and others) insight that being stuck at home is starting to fray the civility of the board.

Jackie, I've always found you to be very civil in our discussions. Thank you for that.

I think between May and June depending on local governments

I think what will happen will be a halfway open basically open with more restrictions and then sometime in the summer completely open

I have plenty of idiots on ignore in here. I'm just bored silly with talking to clients on Skype. I was just trying to get a discussion going about how realistically everyone thinks we are going to be stuck at home. Or whatever the fuck else people want to discuss in a civilized manner.

Edit: Thanks, Sienna (nice name by the way) for sticking to the topic and no thanks to the jealous old dipshits who hate me and and just can't let it go because you guys care and I don't.

I guess working with 300,000 people is stressful.

Yeah, he says the thread isn’t about him, then makes it about him. And then calls people dumb fuckers. I guess he doesn’t realize the mods cracked down on the forum. Oh well.

Well, I’ve been wearing a mask for weeks when shopping and carry a bottle of hand sanitizer to clean my cart before I shop and my hands after. I m getting ready to carry canvas shopping bags to get my shit home. My market is one mile from a Texas nursing campus, I’ve been seeing masks for some time.

I ain’t scared, only using extra precautions.

What state is your over/under wager... I’ll play NY over 29 days tie that with NJ over 29 days and parley. Has Vegas got that on the board.

This forum lost civility long before Covid19. Hell it may never have been civil.

Why would anyone be jealous of you?

Seriously!

Plus, you try so hard and mention how you don't care so often it is laughable.

I want to be out and about. How long do you guys think we are actually going to be stuck at home? This is over under time like betting on sports.

My post count is getting out of control because of boredom. Please feel free to take this thread wherever you want to take it. All I ask is people to be civil to one another.

I certainly don't expect many posts in this thread just from the title alone.

You are the only one being uncivil in this thread. You said take this thread wherever you want just be civil. IMO he was civil yet you decided before you even read his post to be a dick. Keep up the spirit of civility mother fucker.
