My Evening Plans: PPD

Submitted by JMo on October 16th, 2020 at 2:57 PM

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.

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.

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!

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??!

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.

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.

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!

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
