    Honestly, seeing you post this is a huge fucking relief. You've got your shit together for the most part, and I respect what you have to say. I'm going to cancel the appointments, and I'm not going to feel badly about it.

    My kids aren't hanging with other kids. We took the shelter in place order pretty seriously. We're not stopping that yet. And I agree with you 100% that we don't have a consensus of what normal is or will be to answer these questions. Hence my hesitation to return to the dentist. Again, not...

    By the way, I love exposing myself in general, but that has a whole different meaning these days.

    That, sir, is the question. It's an excellent question. Do we follow the White House rules for this sort of thing? Because those rules are different than what my state is doing. I, along with everyone else, would love a definitive "all clear" notification where we don't have to worry about this...

    Regardless of the death rate, it's very safe to say that this strain of virus is substantially more contagious. By a lot. Therein lies my concern.

    Bros, give me advice. My kids are all supposed to have dentist appointments next week. The dentist is open, and the appointments are supposed to go forward. My anxiety level is moderate, but a dentist cleaning is a very close contact thing, and it is with someone who has been seeing people all...

    Absolutely, there will be tears, and there should be. Her life has been defined by caring for these kids, now they're going to be gone during the work day. What does that do to her identity? What is she left with? My wife and I certainly went through this. While we both did child care, she bore...

    I'm sure that's part of it. The falling dust is disconcerting. I've got some of that happening with plaster right now around some door frames. Can also be seasonal with house shifting.

    You guys have to make Creton. It's a French-Canadian thing. It's essentially pork pate' that you spread on toast for breakfast. Here's a recipe that google can translate for you, but add more lard so it is a true paste. I've been eating it every morning and it is amazing...

    Dude, that's just fantastic. So happy for you. You and your wife's lives are about to change. It's a bitter sweet thing. Yeah, someone else is responsible for a bunch of hours every day, but there are also all these things in your kids' lives that you have no control over. It's great, and it...

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    Indiana is opening up today, despite reported case numbers being on the rise. It's a fucking mistake. My family will be continuing quarantine for quite a while. I'm actually fearful that this opening up right now is going to prevent schools from reopening in the fall. And if that's true, I'll be...
