We are getting our training tomorrow on how to set up our online courses. After that I guess it's the wild, wild west. It is going to be an interesting few weeks.

lol

Just got a message on facebook that all schools are shut down tomorrow too. Now i gotta find a babysitter for 3 weeks. since this school shutdown goes right into spring break. And i know my kids mother wont give me a dime to fund a sitter because shes a piece of shit, cheap ass whore who hasnt had a job in 3 fucking years.

This is gonna cause more confusion, panic, and tough times than if people just lived their lives and washed their hands.

I feel like this is happening because we are living in a world full of lawyers.

I read that my states capital city did the same thing today. I know the schools in my city put the students on an early spring break and are hoping that things blow over. My city has our state college and a community college, both of which are shut down until further notice.

The clerk in the local Kroger store told my brother today that they were going to shut down until further notice, too. That is a *major* link in the supply chain, and it wont be long before Walmart and its affiliated chains follow them.

Even if this blows over, sports enthusiasts, decades from now, will look at statistics and wonder why there was nothing in 2020. Entire nations wouldnt shut down and sports franchises wouldnt stop over a simple media hoax. This seems like its going to be big enough to be a part of history.

The worst thing is that our generation lives in fear of going to the doctor because they will charge you more than you can ever pay, even with medical insurance. There are probably so many people who are infected who dont know because they are not able to afford to get tested for it.

Im smack dead in the middle of Michigan. Dead in Michigan. I'm dead in Michigan

If they shut down the 3000 bars in my town, there will be rampages.

---

I have one 4 houses down from me that is always packed. I kinda wish they would shut down because all of the fucking loud drunks blocking off the road.

---

I just looked it up. My city is on the top 10 drunkest cities in Michigan list lol. I knew I remembered something like that. But yeah, I have 2 of them 3 blocks down.

---

Muskegon? I know there is a large bar scene out there. Same with Nashville, i have a lot of family out that way

---

Houston ISD and the surrounding area ISDs too.

Nope. Bay City. We're just a drunk city with a river right down the middle of it. And for some reason we still have 3 Family Videos. My guess is they launder money.

---

all the family videos have been turned into mattress firms around me. I used to love the game sales. I bought 5 copies of eternal darkness, sealed for 10 buck a piece about 3 years ago.

Yeah. I've bought newer games on sale for 20$, played them for a week and then took them into GameStop for the money back in credit. I wish I could time their demise so I could rent a few games and just keep them >_>. They sell CDC now tho, so I dunno how that's going for them. My 2nd theory is that they'll transition into weed shops and they're just getting stuff sorted out.

I mean, I wasn't going to. But now that you told me not to, it's kind of all I want to do now. I mean, licking one doorknob isn't gonna make the difference dude.

Closing Midland Street would be like trying to declaw a unmedicated bear.

Ha, that's unreal that someone knows about Midland street on here. Yeah, that's definitely what earns us the 10th place in drunkest cities. That shits like Jersey Shore stupid.
