If it's any consolation, there's not going to be an "after" the pandemic.


In all seriousness I do think the US will have an intra-nasal vaccine or other drug that effectively stops the vast majority of transmission (for those who take it) within the next two years... which many people probably won't bother taking, but at least I'll be protected (though with non-pan-coronavirus intra-nasal vaccines there will almost certainly still be significant risk, especially from other or novel variants... the new drug I posted about in the covid thread is expected to be effective against all variants).

Realized that the blacklight at the fetish party will probably make the otherwise invisible blood stains on my faux fur shine... could do leather instead but I'd have to protect it from the rain. Don't have anything on hand to protect my leather pants except for some large plastic bags (... trash bags, etc.). Guess I could try to find something at a local store in the next few hours....

(Blood stains might be appropriate for 'Halloween' season but for this... I'd rather not. Plus they might be assumed to be other bodily fluids.)

That plus the risk of wind blown rain (strong wind gusts from the remnants of the tropical storm) getting my mask wet (and thus rendering it less effective) have me leaning towards not going... even though I've been (painfully) electrocuting my abs for the last three and a half hours to get ready (I'll keep going for at least another hour and a half no matter what...).

Plus I thought I knew where my old watches were (no smartphones or recording devices allowed at the party), but they're not there... particularly my ancient waterproof Rolex. (Might be just as well though, since people around here have been getting mugged for fancy watches.)

A party where the pre game is to electrocute abs, put blood stains in clothes, and not realize that the blood is going to look like ejaculate under the black light sounds like hilariously intense work.

Moving to me:

My unofficial housemate, Andrew, 29 years old, has had his 50+ year old Hungarian sugar mama in town for a few days. She was supposed to leave this morning. She has not.

PF I very much hope y’all came out ok on this one. Hope you have enough help with the clean up if not. I was really struck hearing Cantore and crew more or less kicking themselves on how difficult this one proved to track going way further south then Tampa. I’ve never heard anything like that from them. You can tell it was weighing on them and now reports are they may have a substantial lose of life. Fuck I hope that proves untrue.


I appreciate your concerns, I know you've been through this too. My house is almost completely intact. We lost very few shingles (which stunned me) and no water came in that I can tell yet. A big Live oak tree came down and took out half my pool cage but only brushed against the house for minimal damage, I think. We must've been on the northeast side of the eye the whole time. We never got a calm of the eye going over. That son of a bitch sat on us with (so I hear) 130 mph wind for 7 to 8 hours straight. Got bad at about 3pm and didn't get noticeably calmer till 10 or 11. No power, internet or water. Trees down everywhere. I've got months of work ahead. Glad it's not August but it still gets warm in the house. My 18 year old generator that I got after Charlie in '04 gave out yesterday so had to go get another. Keeping fridges going, phones charging, fan etc. After saying all that, we feel lucky. Many people fared much worse, some with newer houses than ours. Hurricane winds can seem so flukey. I can get online at work, at least. Getting power back is the big relief we need most now. A few people have heard Friday for my area. Really hoping for sooner...

Do you need help? I can attempt to make a trip once more roads are clear, if I can work things out properly here with the kids.

She left late Sunday.

Honestly, she's not bad in a tanning booth and ciggies way and was decently pleasant. But I was peeved about having to be out of the house with two dogs for significantly longer than expected to give them their privacy.

That is an incredibly generous offer that I deeply appreciate. We'll be fine when we get power back, which I'm hopeful could be as early as today. My Mom got hers back while I was cutting up her downed trees last evening. I'm maybe 5 miles from her. The tree that came down on the pool cage and is touching my roof is going to require pros and a crane or bucket truck to remove it without causing more damage. I'm a good hand with a chainsaw but I'm not going near that.

Our close friend's son was born on Monday and is in intensive care with touch and go chances. We're on standby to help when they come home but thinking of the poor little mite unable to breathe on his own and what they are all going through is just horribly sad. Currently stands at if he pulls through to the weekend the prognosis is better, but he will then have brain scans and they have been warned to expect brain damage and potential disability as there was a period of oxygen deprivation. Friend has said it's no fault of the hospital team who are looking after them all superbly, and he was born via emergency caesarian ten minutes after it became apparent there was a problem, it's just a horrible mischance that it sounds like couldn't have been prevented or avoided.

At least 31 dead - including 23 children - after a nutbar ex-cop went on a rampage in a Thailand day care. Apparently killed his family and himself straight after.

Why can't these people just off themselves and themselves only in some nice quiet out of the way place?

Looking at Amazon's Prime Early Access sales---price / amount values are flat out wrong for many items. Would have actually ended up paying more than I usually do. They're simple calculations---$ / oz, $ / item, etc.---so IDK whether it's intentional fraud or just extreme incompetence (or fraud posing as incompetence...).

The goddess of death was just about to resurrect my cat when the alarm went off.

Stubbed my little toe so hard the nail detached from the bottom and from one side. It's still attached on the other side though. Medical websites giving conflicting advice about whether to remove the rest or leave it on, but for now I'll leave it---it looks like it won't impede the growth of new nail from the base, at least not the initial growth (websites estimate 12 months for toenail to regrow but don't specify *which* toe---since this is smallest toe, and has the smallest nail, I imagine it should take considerably less time). Bought some toe protectors in case it catches on something and gets torn off. Don't particularly want to waste money on medical care when the stock market's this low.

Salt let me know I had a hole in the meat of my mouth---maybe an ulcer. Then I accidentally bit the inside of my mouth open in another place.

Ripping open a taped-shut box a bit carelessly I managed to rip the fingernail off my left index finger partially. That finger of my glove was full of blood. Thankfully the base of the fingernail held on.
