A little venting and a lot of gratitude.

Hey SG land. I hope that everyone is well and staying safe.

My good friend called me tonight and asked if I could play pool for league night. I said that I could play and would see him at the bar. I haven't been out since the middle of March. I showed up at the bar about 7 with league play starting at 7:30. I was very disappointed to see that of the 6 people in the bar only the bartender had on a mask, besides me. There is a mandatory mask mandate in my state if you are indoors anywhere besides your home. I am very disappointed in my friends, that are in their 60's, and also a high risk, to throw caution to the wind like this. I only took mine off to shoot, I need to get one that doesn't steam up my glasses, and to take a sip of my beer or have a shot. I had fun and shot ok. I really need to practice.

I just needed to vent a little. I am as tired with this Covid virus as most people. I'm trying to do my part as best I can. I go to work. I come home. I go to the grocery store. I come home. A friend of mine called me last weekend to see if I wanted company, and I declined. Another friend of mine tonight said to call if I wanted company next time I go for a ride. That probably won't happen either. She works at a nursing home, high risk.

I am so happy to have my friends here to help keep my spirits up. Thank you all so very much! I love our talks here and on IG. I know that I am always safe here while talking with you all. I'm just staring at my computer screen and you are hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away, let alone 6 feet. But that kind of sucks too. I would love to be sitting across the table from you and sharing the same conversation in person.

Support goes both ways, you know. @valee told me last night that she loves the strong personal connections that I have with some of the beautiful ladies here, and that I am a beautiful human. Thank you honey! You touched my heart. You have become on of my faves. I really hope that I will be able to join your next stream.

@olgakulaga, @redkaya, @star, @camicah, @chari, @felicity, @francy and @luie, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of the love and attention that I have gotten from you all. You have all brought me smiles and warmed my heart over the past year, or so. I love this community and the friends that I have found here.

Be safe, be happy, be cool.

@nadschust wear the mask, keep away from people at risk.  I have a *different* strain of Covid which i got from a routine visit to the hospital in 2018, where i went to get bloodwork for my annual physical.  By March of LAST year I was unable to breathe without a lot of extra oxygen and a lot of drugs.  I have not been more than 25 feet away from my hospital bed in over a year, except to get to my little gym, where a second oxygen machine is set up.  the one time i have been out in over a year was to get a variety of tests at a different hospital.  it was like dropping acid--the world whizzed by my car window; i haven't had to see anything moving faster than a slow walk for 18 months.  --By the way-- I'm really not looking for pity, here.  I'm actually pretty okay mentally - my work is mainly online as it has been for some years, and my wife(s) have been very supportive and caring, tho we mostly keep far more than six feet apart.  the living example of what goes wrong if you get this shit is far too vivid.  meanwhile my cd and dvd collection is growing on account of not spending money on gas!  -- so this is really meant to strongly encourage you and your buddies to take this as far more dangerous than AIDS, with the extra added bonus that nobody knows if they're infected until it is too late...
