So sorry Leper, that’s never an easy thing to deal with and that goes double around the holidays. I hope you and your family can offer each other support.

Bird in a Blender posted:COVID finally hit my house, my wife just tested positive. Kid and I are negative for now, but looks like we'll mostly be holing up for a while. Still holding out some hope that we'll all be in the clear by Christmas, but it's cutting it close. Wife and I both got boosters recently, so I'm hoping we can fend this off. My wife & I just tested positive today (first time ever getting it for me). What a bummer. I'm gonna hop on paxlovid (since I'm not recently boosted and she is) and likely will rebound as positive on christmas day. And my sister is freaking out because she's been at the hospital for a week with our dying parent, and thinks she can't visit if she caught COVID from us when we visited two days ago, let alone how this might impact funeral planning. Leperflesh posted:thanks, everyone. No, she wasn't in any pain at the end. My stepdad played her favorite music and she vaguely responded to it, although she wasn't mouthing the lyrics any more and she hadn't been responsive to simple instructions (like "move your hand") for a week+. She was totally at peace. Sorry to hear that. It's awful to go through this. My mom's going through something different than yours (pancreatic cancer) but losing a mom is terrible no matter the cause trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Dec 19, 2023 |

I had COVID end of last week, but it was the peeing-from-your-butt kind so I thought I’d just gotten food poisoning until my SO popped a positive test the next day. She just had the regular upper respiratory stuff; I think I would prefer her symptoms to mine.

Joey Freshwater posted:lol the owner of a barber just hit me up on LinkedIn for me to come get a haircut there. That’s a first There's a food court that opened up one block behind my office about two years ago. It's a 45 second walk. It calls itself a "collective eatery", which  , but it's pretty good. Burger place, chicken place, taco place, pizza place, poke place.I end up getting chicken more often than not. Every now and then, someone would throw in and I'd get them something. One Wednesday, I decided to just randomly ask everyone in the office if they wanted anything, and pretty soon I was getting a dozen lunch orders. They'd cashapp me or I'd just take their debit card to use. I didn't mind, bosses didn't stress me on the 30 minute time because I was doing something nice for the office, we're supporting a local business, etc. It kinda wound down and I quit doing it six months ago, but I still eat there 1-2 times a week. One morning I get a call from an unknown number. They call me by name, and say hey this is the guy down at Chicken District, we just wanted to give you a heads-up that with Mardi Gras coming, we're going to a limited menu due to all the traffic we're getting. We're just letting you know ahead of time because we know you come in with big orders. It was a nice little thoughtful thing to do for a repeat customer. (They had my number because I used it for all the rewards, another perk of spending 120 bucks of other peoples' money a week there is I ate for free about every other meal.) My wife hears my half of the conversation, asks about it, and I said oh that was they guy down at Chicken District just calling to warn me they're not gonna have some items over the next few weeks. No big deal. She says "Let me get this straight. You go to a chicken joint so much, that when they made a change to the menu, they literally said we gotta call Bob and warn him?"

Sorry to hear that Leper. Honestly the worst part about getting old is it affects everyone else too, and at the age many of us here are at/are now reaching, it's tough realizing that parents, family friends, and favorite teachers are getting into the later/final stages in life.

Android Apocalypse posted:You should buy Leperflesh some funeral chicken from that food court. Is that a thing in other states too? Usually at a funeral here, someone buys a big box of fried chicken and brings it for the family (among other people bringing other stuff). Never really thought about it until you mentioned it.

I figured bringing food to a funeral/wake was common enough to gamble on that lame joke. Never forget that the most popular dish of Utah is funeral potatoes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmeoaRfZp8E

When my dad died in Maine folks brought food for the family. Same thing happened when my mom died in Florida. I figured that just happened. People having to deal with death in the family have so many things to deal with that feeding themselves is almost always put on the back burner.

Doing some last minute shopping. Does anyone else ever feel like they are actively going crazy when around those clicking anti-theft tags in a store? Like all of them going off randomly and out of sync.
