I'm doing my Lenten penance listening to the nut case flapping his jaws to the "beeple".

1. What heinous sin have you committed that requires such extreme penance?

Wouldn’t flagellation or a hair shirt be enough?

[Squinch]

2. DON'T DO IT! There is nothing to be gained from it!!

Use the time to clean your baseboards, cut your cuticles, do a jigsaw puzzle.

Do it for humanity, do it for your sanity!

3. His rant about Business Interruption Insurance requires an interpreter

of Dementia Speech to English. He couldn't explain his POV without the listener having to fill in the blanks because he used "it" "them" "they" repeatedly instead on distinguishing between the insurance companies, the businesses, premiums (he never used that word), claims, loss, etc.

My MIL has dementia and she'll make a statement with vague nouns, pronouns, etc. I ask her "what?" to try and get her to mentally search for the words she just heard on TV. But I still have to fill in the blanks.

4. I'd rather run a cheese grater over my face....

5. Even on Good Friday I won't put myself thru that.

I think being alone since March 21st is penance enough and spending Easter making a pork chop and binge watching whatever. ..I can't imagine what someone directly affected is going through. It's a nightmare that doesn't end. Very early this year I confided to a coworker that I had a strong feeling in my gut that 2020 would be a disaster with tremendous trauma. She said.' Oh no don't say that!" Of course I wanted to be wrong. I'm sorry, having a very bad day.
