Well, I guess we will have the mask wearers forever, the thing I miss from pre pandemic days was getting free samples at Panda Express.

The worst thing was that a restaurant I loved had a salad bar where they had all you can eat bbq wings. They shut down the salad bar for covid and when they opened it again no more wings.

I’m more concerned about my BMI than the Rona. She has it the other way around.

"The worst thing was that a restaurant I loved had a salad bar where they had all you can eat bbq wings. They shut down the salad bar for covid and when they opened it again no more wings."
Two things that pissed me off. First was that McDonald's used the Scamdemic to end their all day breakfast sandwiches. Where I live, it doesn't matter if you're only ordering a burger, you still have to pull up to the last window and wait for your order, or you have to wait for someone to bring it out to you...even if you ordered with their app. If I have to wait for them to put a burger together for me, why can't I wait for them to put a breakfast sandwich together for me?
When the Indian casino near me reopened after the scamdemic, they never reopened their original buffet. They used to have senior specials every Friday. The buffet price was very affordable, and it was open all day. When they finally got around to opening their new buffet, the only days they are open are Thursdays 4pm-9pm, Friday 4pm-10pm, Saturday 10am - 2pm and 4pm - 10pm. Sunday 10am - 2pm and 4pm - 8pm. Thursday, Saturday and Sunday Brunch, and Sunday dinner cost is $36.99 for adults. Friday and Saturday dinner $39.99. There is no way I'd pay that much to go to a buffet.
Before the scamdemic, you'd also get free plays based on how much you spent the month before. I only went once a month, but averaged a $15 free play, once a week during the month. I never went more than once a month, so never used the other 3 weeks worth of free plays. The casino also gave you a $10 voucher once a month, which we used for the buffet. When the casino reopened, all of that was gone. Now you have to earn points for free plays, and someone like me will never be able to earn the required amount to get a free play. There is no incentive to go anymore.

I’ll bet she named her daughter “Sparrow”. COVID will terrify women women like her. Leave her alone now while she practices her Jardiance dance, she has another big story to tell.

- Restaurant closures and menu changes.
- Walmart stopped being 24 hours.
- Online ordering, Walmart and grocery pickup and delivery became a big deal. I get so much delivered now.
- I still make fewer trips to the store, because i plan better and have stuff delivered.
- Food hoarding is back to pre-covid levels.
- The house is less cluttered as a result.
- Paper goods hoarding, including TP was always high. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I have paper goods checklists now.
- I keep my kids supplied with anti-covid supplements. And have a box of covid supplies.
- I got vaccinated and grew a third arm that can interface directly with Bill Gates' network.
- The vaccine microchips demand control, but I tell them no way. Come back when you're driving a pleasure bot and we'll talk.
- Early voting is bigger than it was. It's not going away.
- I let an alcoholic live with me for a year. That wasn't covid related. She's better now. She's been sober for more than 4 months and has gone to 1 rehab and been accepted at others.
- I have the alcoholic's cat. It's lying across my chest wondering why I'm up in the middle of the night typing.

This is sad. The training diaper is a form of social conditioning.
And this woman has bought into it - hook, line, and sinker.

I still see people wearing masks, not many, but on a typical day there’s at least one somewhere.
First I feel some pity, then I think, at least one type of craziness is self-identifying. If only we could see the other types so easily. :(
