[Texaswitchy]

I miss going into Whataburger and ordering a #1 meal


I need to eat it inside.

Whataburger has great ice tea

[Bev54]

1. I miss

playing pickleball and going to the gym.

Sitting at home isn’t much fun for me. It’s not about fun any more.

[Texaswitchy]

11. I am bored to.

The garden will be huge

Nothing else to do.

[safeinOhio]

17. We've been getting all those

projects done we have been putting off.

[Botany]

50. Ohio State had a team that was fun to watch and they were really playing well too

Final 4 .... no but a good chance @ sweet sixteen

[hlthe2b]

6. I already miss being relatively assured of finding the groceries and supplies I need at one or two

stores and not seeing empty shelves, which is very nerve-wracking.

[BigmanPigman]

7. I miss going to bed with a plan for the next day.

[Frustratedlady]

21. I hear ya! I miss an appetite. Mine left from concern and nervousness of what's to come.

I'm never bored, so I can always find some project to do.

[Skittles]

9. I enjoyed the occasional movie

nothing like seeing a movie on the big screen

[FM123]

[femmedem]

12. Kissing Mr. Femmedem without fear that it could kill one or the other of us. n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Teaching. Date adventures w hubby.

[marlakay]

15. My olli classes (for over 50)

My dance class, but we did start online one on zoom today, not the same though.

I think I miss going out to eat and drink the most. That is our treat 1-2 times per week.

[A Brand New World]

16. Seeing my 8 grandchildren!

[greymattermom]

18. Going out with my daughter and son in law to

Buford highway ethnic spots or neighborhood places. Just once a week, usually Sunday when traffic wasn't bad. Now, nothing is open and there's not much traffic. I brought them take out pizza. Not the same, but better than nothing.

[renate]

19. Living a normal life... I am so tired of being frustrated and afraid for 3 years

It’s not just Trump, but everything seems so shitty. I miss worrying about just day-to-day things like the kids’ homework not getting done instead of financial collapse, a Russian takeover of our country, and pandemics.

[SammyWinstonJack]

45. Right there with you. So tired of all things tRump.

[DonaldsRump]

20. The Virus is Donald John Trump

Last edited Thu Mar 19, 2020, 11:04 PM - Edit history (1)

And he started infect us in 2015/2016. 2020 is just the worst of that virus.

And hence the name The Trump Virus: let's remember the "man" that singlehandedly brought our country to ruin healthwise and economically because of his gross failures/omissions to act.

I miss the pre-Trump Virus days.

[onecaliberal]

22. I miss not being terrified for my spouse 24/7

[Texaswitchy]

24. I have understand that.

I am fine but my friend is still frail.

Another two months would have made a big difference.

[onecaliberal]

25. Peace.

[PJMcK]

23. Riding the NYC subway system (n/t)

[DesertRat]

26. Going to the gym, yoga, out to eat with family and friends

[Funtatlaguy]

27. Playing naked twister with neighbors.

[Niagara]

30. hahaha

[Funtatlaguy]

31. One of them is double jointed. Unfair advantage.

[Niagara]

32. Yes, that is an unfair advantage.

It wouldn't be the same, you and your neighbors could still play with Skype.

[beaglelover]

28. Going to Pilates classes 3 times a week.

[Marrah_Goodman]

29. Visiting my daughter

[Greybnk48]

33. I miss my grandkids who live 3 blocks away.

My dil is a nursing student and part time healthcare worker and we're social distancing because my husband and I are 72 and 71 respectively. It's really boring here without them several days a week. (ages 5 and 2)

[MissB]

34. Standing in line at Salt and Straw

Contemplating which flavors to try, knowing that I’d be getting a chocolate cone anyway.

Solid 30 minute line with 40 people in front of me every time we went there. I’d marvel at their efficiency of moving the line along by keeping three or four scoopers constantly working. A scooper would help a group (like a group of family members standing in line) with samples and then scoop them all up their ice cream while the next scooper jumped to the next group and so on.

Seems quaint now, standing in a crowded line.

[GulfCoast66]

35. I miss worrying I'm gonna bring the virus back to my wife.

Who although a super healthy looking, active 58 yo, has had 2 bouts of pneumonia in the past 7 years.

All the social shit I used to do pale to that.

[ooky]

36. I miss seeing my granddaughter and picking her up at school

doing the homework and all before her daddy picks her up at night. It's actually all I really enjoyed anymore.

She's about to turn 7.

This really sucks.

[bluecollar2]

37. Ever since I moved to Florida

I miss Whataburger..

Best damn fast food restaurant chain since the demise of Doggie Diner...

[Aquaria]

42. I miss it, too, but not over COVID-19

But because it's one of the worst about slathering its food in sodium.

I can't eat there at all because even something as simple as my typical order of a #1 with onion rings and Diet Dr Pepper has 1760 mg of sodium, which exceeds my allowance for the day, and the sugar content (14g) is ridiculous, too. If you get their A-1 Thick and Hearty meal, we're talking almost 3000 mg of sodium a day, which exceeds the daily allowance for healthy people!

Unacceptable.

The healthiest fast food flagship burger is the Burger King Whopper, as long as you don't put cheese, mayo and ketchup on it, which I didn't do, even before I had to cut back on sodium.

[Aquaria]

38. I miss going on my weekly pilgrimage

To the grocery store and the post office.

Other than that, my life is the same as it's been for the past 10 years, save for those couple of years I went to community college.

[customerserviceguy]

39. Finding eggs in the grocery store. n/t

[Music Man]

40. Teaching my students :(

Choir is hard to do by yourself.

I picture their faces, especially seniors I've had for years and whom I may not see for a while, and that's enough to get me emotional about the whole situation.

[Jspur]

41. Playing pickup Basketball

games in the evening time in the park. This is the time of year where I play a lot of basketball after work. It's my favorite time of year. I feel that's been taken away from me.

[Olafjoy]

43. Not talking to frightened people

Who are calling me afraid they have COVID19 and I tell them all “sorry there are no tests”.
(I am a telemedicine doctor)

[Dem2theMax]

44. Hugging my friends.

[OnDoutside]

47. Rugby. All of it.

[WestLosAngelesGal]

48. Hugging my family

I miss that.

[MyNameGoesHere]

49. The constant low hum of random people chattering away

Only TV voices.

[LuvLoogie]

51. Eating meat. It started as using Lent as a jump start to dropping weight and a return to fitness.

Then as the virus took hold, it became more of a survival issue and trying to shore up my immune system.

I intend to go ahead and roast a leg of lamb for Easter, and turn the leftovers into (something) shwarma (like). Freeze for later.

Going forward my intention is to reduce my meat intake. In my freezer, I also have some frozen guisado de chicharon that I couldn't get to before Lent. I hope I can get to that some time in late April or early May.

[tinrobot]

52. Right now... skiing

We would have been on the mountain full of fresh snow today.

Just bought a new pair of skis for my wife. Now she's gotta wait until next year to use them.

[zackymilly]

53. Casual sex. n/t

[Doreen]

54. Breathing at least somewhat safely?

[csziggy]

55. My husband's nights out!

For decades he's had a bridge group - at Whataburger, LOL - on Thursday nights and AD&D on Saturdays at friends. For the last year or so he's had a second AD&D game at the home of a friend's daughter.

The bridge game is now out since Whataburger is closed, The Wednesday night game is suspended. I am not sure about the weekend game. Given that all the participants are at the very least in their 60s and some are in poor health, I think they should stop it, but they don't listen to me.

But for the nights that have been stopped, I miss the time to myself. I've been used to planning to feed my husband only four nights a week and being able to just take it easy the other nights. Now I have to reconfigure my whole cooking schedule. Not that my husband insists on fresh meals - he's perfectly happy with leftovers - but I was used to saving the leftovers for me.

Plus I could just skip cooking altogether and just much on celery or whatever. With him here, I feel obligated to have actual meals.

[Marrah_Goodman]

56. not worrying about my daughter every night
