Reassure me planes will be flying, that I will not get sick on the trip, that my wife will not get sick at home while I am gone and that the college graduation I am going to will not be cancelled. K?

Thanks in advance.

On edit-also that none of the people I am going to see will be sick.

the game requires. Getting a good one is over $500 ... not cheap.

Also, I've never played a game in VR ... what if I'm just no good at VR games? What if I hate VR in general? What if it give me headaches or vertigo or something?

Worse yet, what if I spend all that money to gear up, and the game itself is a disappointment?

I've waited SO long for a new Half-Life game and even though it's not the proper HL3 I was hoping for I'm still stoked for Alyx, but these VR worries are getting me down.

George W Bush.

Trump stands a good chance to win the "Worst President in U.S. History" contest. But he's trump, so he may screw that up.

Fri Feb 28, 2020, 02:45 PM
Feb 2020

neither of which I’m really sure would be a good fit. They’re both good jobs, good employers, but each present a couple of issues that might make the job less satisfying than would be ideal. But - neither have even called me back to say I’m hired anyway. I’ve been on the hunt since November, and I’m worried I won’t ever find a decent job, let alone one that I can love enough to stick with for a good few years’ run. And I don’t know what to do if one of them DO call to hire me, should I accept and dread going to work every day, or decline and keep looking, even though the odds are long that el perfecto ever even materializes?

I understand being angry about the harm being done by 45 and followers but the meanness seems to have seeped into everything.

It has gotten harder for me to participate in discussions.

It’s fairly isolated, which I like, but am starting to worry about getting lonely or depressed. I’ve only ever lived alone for maybe 6 months (roommates, significant others).

He’s getting married at some country club near Boynton Beach. I can’t wait, we love his fiancé and it’s going to be a joyous day. Plus a family reunion as a bunch of my cousins are coming who I rarely see.

My mom passed away on New Year's. My brain is starting to really grasp the weight of her absence and it sucks. The depression is unreal.

Our President is a Nazi dictator.


I am generally calm about coronavirus, but I am also a bit of a germaphobe. It's a fine line to walk.
