But you are absolutely correct, PHPaul...it's getting to be just waaaaaaaaay too much and I actually tuned it out DAYS ago. Not burying my head in the sand, but c'mon...even the same ol' sex on a CONTINUAL basis, day after day, 24/7 gets old.

Really?! Wish I could find out for certain...

I actually enjoy watching the coverage, it's actually comical. My other half doesn't care to watch it and probably won't freak-out over it unless I tell her it' time to. Like others I don't do anything different than routine flu precautions.

Big Boys know enough to choose their battles. The shitstorm that would result from cutting off DirecTV would FAR exceed the aggravation of listing to the bullshit.

I'll just hide in the basement more...

I wish I had a basement.
I feel for you brother.
I am so sick of it, I avoid all news, and just make sure I clean my rifle.

That'd drive me nervous, too. Do you have a music player/phone that supports headphones?

Yes/No/Sorta. I find it difficult to enjoy music any more with my hearing loss.

I do have a man-cave in the basement tho.

I was just thinking “don’t you have an old tractor in the barn that needs an engine rebuild?” ;-)

I have, in effect, wife cancelling headphones in my hearing aids. Blu-Tooth, music or Rush, and I'm set. Oh yeah, the occasional nod and smile or "Yeah."

Fortunately, my wife (a nurse) doesn't harp on me about doing things to prevent the virus. She knows my life insurance premiums are paid up. Maybe it's the best for both of us! LOL

I am SICK AND TIRED of this virus and it has just begun...….it's all everyone talks about, the grocery stores are empty (I've been stocked up since way before it even started, but in the mood for some cookies or ice cream or something that I don't have in the house) and reminds me of some third world country in the middle of a civil war...….the interruption in life......my business has taken a HUGE hit in business....I'll survive but I don't like it or sitting around......every damn business call is a cancellation of work......16 full very profitable days cancelled out of just the next 30 days....pretty much my entire month of work......another one delayed from the end of April to end of June at the earliest......if even then...….then 2 weeks of full work delayed from June to August because of it......Sitting a

Better yet, sit in the recliner cough weakly, and complain how warm you feel.

Don't forget about being thirsty.

Your right. It’s much more healthy for a husband to decide what his wife can or cannot watch by controlling the satellite feed.

My granddaughter is staying with us over the weekend. I haven't bitched a bit about the TV being forever on the Disney channel.

Tabitha is oblivious to it all.

She wants to go out and about and is angry at my refusal to let her do so.
