My Evening Plans: PPD
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I've gone ahead and postponed my evening plans because of COVID. Technically it was a friends wife who had close exposure, but out of an overabundance of caution, now more than ever, new normal, in these hard times, etc.
In fact, I've had to make a lot of changes since March because of the global pandemic. I'm not sure why I haven't been going out of my way to express them here regularly. And while I know that really no one really cares, no one here was planning on attending my evening soiree, and likely you didn't even know that it existed, I'm going to make sure to update everyone.
You see, things are hard these days because of the pandemic. I'm also concerned I'm not getting enough attention general. Specifically from you my fellow Mgobloggers. I'm worried about the pandemic. Nervous about the election. And really I don't know how to channel my energy. So, I'm going to make a thread whenever something in my life is impacted by COVID. Hopefully, I'll get the attention I so rightfully deserve. Maybe it's because I don't believe people are concerned enough about the virus. Maybe it's because I made a bunch of bold predictions back in August and I am desperate to tell someone (anyone?) that I said it first. Maybe I just need your attention more than anything. Who knows?
Just as a heads up, I think I'm almost out of milk. While I can't be positive that it was affected by COVID, I'll make sure to update everyone as it happens.
Robf, other moms, I think you should pin this thread. And maybe put a gold star sticker on it as well.
PS - While my evening plans are cancelled, I've decided to host a FIU @ Charlotte viewing party on my twitch channel instead. I hope you all can join me.

i wish you weren't so fucking awkward, bud.
October 16th, 2020 at 3:05 PM ^
Wow! You know its bad when Charlie Sheen calls you awkward.
October 16th, 2020 at 3:01 PM ^
I chuckled.
October 16th, 2020 at 3:40 PM ^
I expelled air from my nose slightly faster than normal. Has to count for something.
October 16th, 2020 at 3:03 PM ^
So your solution to being annoyed about too many Covid posts about cancelled football games is to post an even more inane post?
October 16th, 2020 at 3:08 PM ^
Interesting response blue in dc. I can't tell if my post isn't really for you. Or, more likely, it's really really for you. I guess we may never know.
That said, I'm going to now take this opportunity to become righteously indignant about the value of my OP to the point where I'm demanding that everyone MUST have a place on the forum for these posts, and the mods must either sticky it, or maybe more aptly, make it a front page board post.
Do it now Rob. Front page post.

“we may never know”
I think I know.
October 16th, 2020 at 4:22 PM ^
Since he is annoyed he figures he might as well annoy everyone else. And I bit.
October 18th, 2020 at 10:14 AM ^
This right here. I was so hopeful that with football coming back the board would lean away from (all covid all the time). But not to be. My daughters a covid nurse and talks about it less than mgoblog.
October 16th, 2020 at 3:03 PM ^
Well, looks like I found the drinking thread!
October 16th, 2020 at 3:58 PM ^
Johnny Black, Woodford Reserve, Jefferson Reserve, Mastehead All Sleigh IPA and of course PBR and some Blue Dream to puff on.
October 16th, 2020 at 4:17 PM ^
Gin n juice. Sort of.
October 16th, 2020 at 4:56 PM ^
A friend of mine brought the bottle over, I wouldn’t recommend it. No body, heavy on sugar.
October 16th, 2020 at 5:12 PM ^
You're telling me Snoop doesn't make a good red? Shocked to hear this...
October 16th, 2020 at 6:36 PM ^
I think Snoop is more into green.
October 16th, 2020 at 3:17 PM ^
Local brewery's IPA made during the fucking hurricane that swept across the Midwest (Iowa, worst of all) in August, called Off Grid. It's delicious as all hell and can't believe it was made here in town and not the New England region. About to crack a 2nd can and head out to the mower for one final grass cutting of the year.
Couple barrel-aged stouts waiting to pick from for game 5 tonight. Go Bravos!
October 16th, 2020 at 3:30 PM ^
Yes indeed Go Bravos!
I tried to look up Off Grid and kept getting Off Grid from Backwoods. Oh well. Got some Focal Banger in the fridge waiting to be popped open. Hoping to celebrate an NLCS tonight! Chop chop!
October 16th, 2020 at 3:38 PM ^
Yea I forgot there were already quite a few beers with that name! Lion Bridge is the brewery, which is where I reside (Iowa).
Maybe this link works??!
Off Grid Lion Bridge Brewing Company on Untappd https://untp.beer/6G6n5
Finally had Focal Banger a few months back. I liked it a lot. I've had a few Heady Toppers over the years but just never got around nor the chance at trying FB. It may not be in line with the new hazy fad but that's A-okay with me! The beer I'm mentioning is certainly in that genre (hazy) but dammit it actually brings that hop punch and profile, which many hazies don't, and therefore fail at what that style was intially about.
October 16th, 2020 at 3:46 PM ^
Yeah man, that looks yummy.
October 16th, 2020 at 3:19 PM ^
I think this is an attempt to be funny. You missed, badly.
October 16th, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
Incorrect.
October 16th, 2020 at 8:09 PM ^
I agree. I don’t see how this is a meaningful parody of anything that has been on the board. But maybe I missed a deleted OP somewhere.
October 16th, 2020 at 3:22 PM ^
The only complaint I have about this post is that lacks the necessary META: tag in the title.
I mean it probably lacks some other things but I'm not drunk enough to care.
October 16th, 2020 at 5:41 PM ^
This thread needs more Trogdor
October 16th, 2020 at 3:29 PM ^
My evening plans are not cancelled due to Covid. I am having a pizza for dinner followed by drinking vodka and watching movies. Have a great night everybody!
October 16th, 2020 at 3:39 PM ^
Vodka and...?! Or...just vodka?!
October 16th, 2020 at 3:47 PM ^
Vodka and unsweetened ice tea with a splash of lemon juice. I know it is an odd combo but I like it.
October 16th, 2020 at 6:23 PM ^
Is that a John Daly?
October 16th, 2020 at 7:31 PM ^
That's funny!
October 16th, 2020 at 3:41 PM ^
Friday night lights are not cancelled.
October 16th, 2020 at 4:25 PM ^
I’m gonna be out on the sidelines while our 16-18 year olds play a game of football.
October 16th, 2020 at 3:44 PM ^
Sex with my insanely hot mistress is cancelled due to COVID as well.
October 16th, 2020 at 3:50 PM ^
You really did get jobbed by not getting a blow job.
October 16th, 2020 at 5:03 PM ^
Blow jobbed
October 16th, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
Curious what these plans were with your friend's wife??
October 16th, 2020 at 3:59 PM ^
Covid hasn’t really changed anything for me. I just don’t go out to bars. Miss concerts and sporting events though.
I make a lot more money since covid started so that’s cool
October 16th, 2020 at 4:28 PM ^
Golf courses are a LOT busier due to Covid. Adding that extra hour to any round is my biggest selfish annoyance, which makes me lucky I guess.
October 16th, 2020 at 4:08 PM ^
I've got milk AND steak, OP, and I'm not sharing either with you.
OTOH, I am hungry for some Zain's Pizza.
October 16th, 2020 at 4:12 PM ^
I already knew about this because your wife told me we had to cancel our date
October 16th, 2020 at 5:39 PM ^
winner
October 16th, 2020 at 4:17 PM ^
My plans for tonight involve Hs football and being in the sidelines while it’s gonna be cold.
October 16th, 2020 at 5:05 PM ^
-1 for repetitious.
October 16th, 2020 at 4:28 PM ^
How's that eighth Adderall treatin ya?
