COVID-19 Coronavirus News and Updates

So one thing I do want to mention and this is going to get a little nasty....

I’m really, really hoping it was just the cheap cup kraft mac and cheese I had for dinner while I was at the hotel, but holy ****..... these past couple days since then I have had some pretty bad diarrhea. No other symptoms otherwise, and I’ve been drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated, but holy ****...... it’s just been frustrating going boom on the toilet constantly.....

Try eating more fiber and solid foods. Maybe drink some Ginger Ale or Gatorade. Follow the BRAT:
Banana Rice Apple Sauce and Toast

I haven’t had Chinese in a while and I’m craving some. But I have a freezer full of steaks and chops I should eat up first.
Spent the last week eating up the turkey I made, and the soup came out fantastic.

The talk about Chinese food is craving me for some BBQ ribs with plain lomein. Too bad that the Chinese restaurants around my block are closed.

I’ll go in with you with some crab rangoon and Kung Pao chicken.

Never miss an opportunity to blame President Trump.

First, the blame lies with the couple, who took the fish tank cleaner, despite it not being the same thing and saying right on the label, "DO NOT CONSUME"

Second, the drug hydroxyl chloroquine is showing very promising results in combination with the Z-pack, in treating people with the virus. It is currently being used in test cases, but the results from China and other countries so far is very promising. But it is very early. This could be a real game changer if it works. But do not just take it at home.

Put your hate aside and celebrate some promising news. Your hate for President Trump outweighs any potential good news that could potentially save millions of lives. Just unbelievable and sad.

It’s not his hatred for Trump that brings me down. It’s negativity in general. Look at the threads he started long before Trump “What Made You Frown Today”. “What Made You Roll Your Eyes Today”. “None Like it Hot”.
Sure there’s plenty to complain about, but it eats you alive to dwell on it.
Snowthy has gone through hard times
for sure. But to show no hope is painfully sad.

It's beyond no hope, it's willfully ignoring positive things and choosing to believe negative things, including negative things that aren't even real.

I mean....

I don’t know what his deal is as far as his negative side goes, because I have seen his positive side as well and it’s always a pleasure, but I do appreciate those threads as they help get out a lot of frustration, and the heat thread I can relate to as a pale Irish-skinned man myself. I think he made that thread because of his skin condition.

 

[LittleJerry92]

Generally speaking, even as someone who’s had my ugly moments and struggles with depression and anger problems from time to time, I do try and show my positive side as much as possible. Because I am grateful for the people around me on here and real life, and pretty much for what I have as well.

In my defense, my life growing up has shaped me into the negative person I am today.

My parents fought, argued, and bickered like an old married couple right out of a sitcom (think the Costanzas from SEINFELD or the Barones from EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND); we always had a lot of financial struggles as well, particularly whenever a Republican was President, since they always do more for the wealthy and upper class (which my family actually was until the 1989 recession a few weeks after I was born, and then they lost everything they ever worked for as a result) in spite of my dad being Republican; we moved over twenty times while I was growing up, and I probably spent a good chunk of my life stuck in hotel rooms - to this day, just looking at cardboard boxes gives me a complex; as a kid, I was always an easy target for bullies (especially in middle school), not just because I was a fat kid, but down here, if you're a boy and you're not into sports (particularly football, which is almost a religion until itself down here), then you might as well be from another planet . . . my sister was even convinced I was in the closet because I was artistic rather than athletic, and apparently, that's a gay stigma of some sort.

I had no stability in my life until about seven or eight years ago. My personal philosphy on life was it's always better to assume the worst and be pleasantly surprised, than to get your hopes up and be disappointed, because the latter was something I faced more often than not growing up, hence my cynical outlook on life. I always dwelled on the past, because there were so many things about it that I wished happened differently, or there may have been certain memories from my past that I yearned for because they were some of the few brighter spots in my life. It wasn't until seven or eight years ago that life finally started to stabilize, and I was finally able to kind of let go of the past and embrace the present, living life one day at a time, and staying in the moment, and as a result, my disposition improved drastically: I was no longer feeling like the negative pessimist the majority of this forum always accused me of being. Life, in general, was no longer filled with disappointment waiting right around the corner, but rather, possibilities and opportunities that I could seize and dive right into. I was no longer Sulky Stuart, captain of the Woe-Is-Me Express; I was now Possibility Pete, captain of Nauseating Analogies. And it felt good. I actually liked being a more positive optimist who could embrace each and every new day for what it had to offer.

And now . . . with this buffoon in the White House, the racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobic, bigotry, and just general hate he stirs up within his base of supporters, and how much this country has faltered ever since he's been in Office, and life in general has fallen right back into being stuck in financial ruts and having to worry about whether to spend what little funds you have on keeping the utilities turned on, or your fridge and pantry filled - you actually wonder why I've fallen back into being a miserable, negative pessimist?
