Any positive side effects from all of this isolation?

As they say, “I wouldn’t touch you with a six-foot pole.”

Well, personally i think that’s because the flu viruses just threw up their collective hands and said “we just cannot COMPETE!”.

I’ve been lifting weights at home every day. Before long I will be a jacked, ripped beefcake.

I’ve lost a few pounds just by eating sparingly at home and fasting for 13 hours each night.

No school shootings in the past month!

Although adoptions are up, many shelters have a decrease in volunteers, who are staying home instead. Consider helping out by fostering an animal while you are at home!

I’m looking at my bank account after the mortgage was paid and seeing how much is left I realize how much money I’m wasting getting take out and eating out every month. I’m sure I’m not the only one. That will change my behavior going forward.

I truly hope you’re not the only one, and that this eventually leads to a societal rejection of the go-go-go overly scheduled lives we’ve been leading … or been ridiculed for not leading, if you’re one of them lazy-ass hippies like me.

Since many of the adults in our family are working from home, the teenagers haven’t had as much computer time. So instead of Tik-Toc, they are reading books. In some cases, classic books. My gearhead nephew was spotted with Joseph Conrad.
