Right, good idea, I'll start an HMX-1 thread.

Pittsburgh County Building rally against stay at home order:

Notice covid19 prepared camera man in rear, he's wearing mask, gloves, and a chest vest that'll hopefully protect him from sharp flying projectiles

It was over 100 degrees here today, do we have to worry anymore? It will be over 100 until October.

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to go away with heat. The Phillipines have been quite warm and they're having a very rough time with Covid-19.

:thinking: Wondering how many pounds have been gained from staying at home, watching the stream, eating Oreos and Cheese Puffs. :popcorn:

 

[Tejasandre]

Oreos will be the death of me.

Extraordinary claims require similar proof.

Love the Carl Sagan reference. :)

OK! guy's it was late when I wrote that, clip thing...but that what was there.

You knew what you meant, I knew what you meant, I think almost everyone else knew what you meant; this isn't arfcom so it's not a big deal and it was an amusing aside.

I've eaten more cake in the last month than in the past 5 years combined. My belt was getting shorter and waste getting thinner. My spare tire was completely deflated. It's back up to about 10psi.

You know you've gained too much weight when you go to thread your new belt and the buckle hits your toe. :ooo:

Yayaaa. One for your side :thumbsup: ....... Wait. What's this? Make that two. :laughing:

I'd like a pack of Oreo's that have no filling, just the chocolate wafers!

The country of India reports 723 deaths from COVID-19, and also reports about 20,000 deaths a year from human rabies.

Just wanted to say that a Coronal Mass Ejection hitting large areas of our planet is what scares me (humans getting really ugly, really fast). We won't be able to post comments on CPF after a CME if Greta's servers gets slammed.

I would like a package of all centers. We should write Nabisco and see where it goes.

Now regarding weight control, kharma has slipped a joker in the deck via a cracked tooth. As fate would dictate there's a sharp edge so each time I swallow my tongue rubs it. New adventure in pain each time I swallow.
No dentists are open due to the corona thing so phooey. Pulled out an emory board and filed off the sharp edge.

I have plenty of flab built up to live off of until my toungue heals.

How are you getting this information? The Philippines has horrible news. My GF lives there and I talk to her literally 2-3 hours in the morning and 2-3 hours every night.

She said yesterday they extended the lock down until Sept 1. That is insane. She lives in Puerto Galera on Mindoro, but has been stuck in Lobo for weeks now. She missed the last ferry back to Mindoro over a month ago it seems by an hour.

Anyway, she has to get a letter signed off to go to the market and to Palawan to get wired money.

However, the news she is getting is about as bad as people believing the aswang. First Duterte was said to have covid, then they said he was going to kill himself after all the aid money was given out. Which most people never got due to the corrupt mayors and local officials. She didn't qualify like most people. It is a real mess over there and a lot of people are literally starving to death I have seen it with my eyes. Very disturbing.

However, she keeps saying it is like here, people want to get back to work but the military and police have them on lock down. People there either work for themselves for the most part or work in tourism which is 100% destroyed obviously. She said starving is much more of a concern to them than the virus is. The country is being ruled with and iron hand, and a person that is not very bright.

Byk- Same boat. Lost half a molar a couple weeks ago. Root exposed, every once in a while I see God if I'm not careful. I feel your pain...

As a point of information, the photo in post #1719, above, is from a peaceful protest on April 20th.

Oh, I have been there when I cracked my wisdom tooth. Pain that rivals capsaicin cramps from Carolina reapers. Hope it gets better. I squeezed about 1/4 tube of orajel right into it reluctantly, as I thought if it made it worse I would die from a heart attack... and instantly it was gone. However, since then I have tried oragel on toothaches and it does not work very well. If you can get that benzocaine, right on the exposed root it will take all the pain away, if not it can be a killer.

I'm sorry to hear this. That is horrible, having to worry about starving because of being locked down and exascerbated by a corrupt government.

There are some reliable news sources that have bureaus over there, so news is getting out. They don't seem to have any advantage over Covid because of warmer temperatures though.

 

[RedLED]

70 LED,

Sorry to hare are all of that.

 

[SilverFox]

Just to look at the other side... :)

Worldometer is reporting that in the USA 110432 have recovered from Covid-19 and if we look at the world, the number that has recovered is 798772.
