    Napkins and paper towels can be used as a substitute for toilet paper.

    Also sandpaper, cardboard, wood, towels, loofahs, sheet rock, jello, and LEGO blocks.

    for real though if you use paper towels tear them into small squares and maybe flush before you think it needs it, they aren't meant to dissolve like tp and can clog your toilet to a degree that you'll need a snake pretty easily

    You know.

    I think I might have to stop reading the news like totally for the duration of this pandemic.

    Or I might get hooked on my benzo.

    Same with cardboard, wood, and sheet rock. Jello is safe, though.

    I’ve mentioned before, I’m really bad at DMing or messaging people, especially first textual engagement. I’m muuuuuuuuch more comfortable face-to-face.

    That said, I’m trying to get better. I went out a little bit last night and bumped into a girl in town that I’ve had drinks at the bar with before. Last night we hung out significantly longer than in the past and at the end of the night we exchanged instagrams.

    Normally this would be the point in a...courting...that I would completely fuck up by either being boring or never reaching out. But I just sent her a message:

    > Hey female person, yesterday was fun
    > Would you be down for another drink tonight? I’m thinking of going to Place or Other Place later

    Hopefully that works. No response yet but I just sent it and I think she’s at work right now. I’m figuring that’s just a low pressure ask. Though I did flat out tell her I liked her last night.

    edit: I know I probably shouldn’t be going out at all...

    If you are bad at DMing I would describe the situation to them in more detail, but really make it adventure they want to go on, and most importantly let them roll dice when they can.

    Do the people in Italy sharing rooms with their deceased relatives because no one can collect the bodies or the people in Iran digging mass graves know that this is all so the libs can bring down Trump?

    It's interesting how the Italy story has morphed, in the telling, from "a single family had this happen" to "everyone in Italy has dead people in their homes the country is in flames."

    The only confirmed case I can find of it happening is that one actor, it doesn't seem to actually be a widespread epidemic of dead bodies everywhere.

    That's not directed at Janson for the record, I've just seen that story described as if every home in Italy has a corpse in it on loads of places today.

    It would genuinely shock me if they report him as having it, not because he won’t get it, but I can’t ever setting them admit it.

    I need to put down my phone and get back to cleaning

    I’m not cleaning because I’m concerned about the virus (I mean, no one visits us so this household has our germs only) but because I want to at least start off the kids being at home for the next six weeks right

    Plus Anya needs a space to study, we need to make sure working from home’ll be comfortable, etc.

    Have you been told how home schooling is going to work janson?

  • Options
    JansonJanson Registered User regular
    Anya will have paper and online assignments. We’ll be getting logins to Zearn, Freckle and Epic! (They cover reading/math/science/social studies between them).

    The teachers didn’t have much time to prepare so beyond that I’m not sure if they’ll be checking in or what will happen in that regard.

    Personally we’re very fortunate as Mori’s parents will continue to look after the kids for us as much as they can (we wish to alleviate some of the burden, of course). We’re thinking we keep strict routines (wake-up times, everyone getting dressed in clothes, sticking to house rules etc.).

    I’m going to discuss our plans with them this evening!

    Pizza dough has become frighteningly easy to make for me now.

    If I wanted to I could probably make home made pizza every day... I just would need lots of flour and room in my fridge for the dough... Sauce can be bought in bulk...

    Cheese is real bottleneck though.

    :bro:

    Yeah, I had a couple hot prospects that I thought were going along just peachy. I went for away for a week, COVID simultaneously started ramping up as soon as I got back, and now no one is interested in going on a date. They've got more important things to worry about now, I get that, but it's still disappointing. A nice walk outdoors away from people seemed like about the last fun thing we could do outside our homes and even that is a bridge too far right now with a stranger.

    Yeah. I took some cold meds earlier in the morning and it's still covering both symptoms pretty well. But I did just pass out for an hour around ten...

    Also lol I have a lot of practice at that already.

    I let my window down a little and was all "I was at my friends and I don't feel well so I'm trying to make it home before I barf."

    the cop was like "okay just drive carefully" and fairly burned out when he left.
