Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

I believe it is the same with the sad face and it used to be with the wow too but pretty sure they changed the wow one. Not sure if they have the others. But they only get credit for likes, hearts, and I believe informatives and now wows I think? But not for sads or angries. Which stinks because most people use it because their sad or mad about the situation/for OP and not because they’re being mean but some misuse them. OH!!! And I forgot about the laugh emoji. That one counts too I believe. Even though people also misuse that.

All but the angry reaction count. Go here and play around with @PeaDawg's posts and you'll see.

Huh, interesting! Thank you!

I wish the mods would give credit for EVERY "Like" response, and recognize every choice as a reaction to each POST, not to the OP. I think that's how most of us use them. And if people are using the "I" to denote sarcasm, perhaps they could provide a different option for sarcasm. Eyeroll, maybe? Hmm. Maybe we need a separate thread for this topic.

Oops, @casportpony clarified while I was typing.

Credits should not even be a consideration.

No doubt, there are already more than a few.

My youngest son has asthma also. He got Covid before it became a pandemic. He had to stay in the hospital for eight days. He did get better but really affected his breathing at the time. So, knock on wood, your hubby will have it easier being vaccinated.

I imagine that was dreadful for all of you

Wanted to jump in to say that no-knead bread is the best! Since I discovered it, I've stopped buying bread in the store. It's the easiest thing, and nothing beats the smell and taste of fresh bread. Although my recipe is slightly different (google NY Times no-knead bread), I've found that it really amendable to all different combinations of flour and other additions.

I've added whole wheat, oats, spelt, chia seeds, etc. I do find that it gets pretty sticky to work with unless I keep at least 1/2 the recipe as white bread flour, however. My DH's favorite it to make dark rye, by using 1/3rd portion of rye flour, adding dark molasses in with the water and caraway seeds. I've also like making cinnamon, raisin walnut bread.

Cinnamon raisin walnut sounds amazing!

Quick question, other than giving me a tittle (crowing ect.) what does it do for you?
Quick tie in to the thread, I found this site do to Covid keeping me cooped up.

I already did after a month or more got a phone call saying contact city fire department. I did. I was told "we are going to give them sometime". 2 weeks later made another complaint to fire department. I was told okay we will look into it. For this town I was amazed they took the complaint at all. Covid has made everyone here believe it is a free for all. If they make the choice not to comply what are you going to do about? Who are you going to tell. NO one in government is at work. You can leave messages. I think maybe in a year or two when they decide Covid isn't a threat, they will return that call.

Sorry. Same here. Everyone is so freaked out plus no one wants to work. They have been in their little bubble of working from home no wants to actually work anymore.
