    I got my test results back this morning from Monday and it's for sure positive. Am I the first one on the forum? I have not been keeping up with the thread for the entire 200 pages.
    Is there a prize?
    I'm doing good so far it's been pretty mild. I lost all sense of taste or smell and from time to time I feel like I have a bit of a head cold. I've had a big loss in energy since the first symptoms started a week ago, I get tired super easy...that and loss of taste and smell have been the worst so far. The loss of taste and smell is extreme, like absolutely nothing. I sprayed repel 40% deet on a rag yesterday to rub on a dog to keep flies off (sheep dog) and I held it right up to my nose and absolutely nothing. Been that way since last saturday. And before someone asks, no I didn't try to taste it, lol.

    You are the second. The prize was a gift certificate to Golden Corral a buffet style restaurant.

    Unfortunately the Golden Corral was lost in the great peaceful Minneapolis wildfire protests of 2020. RIP Golden Corral

    Kidding aside, glad you are hanging in there. I'll post my updated MN spreadsheet after 11

    Ha...oh well.
    Glad there aren't very many cases among the forum members then. I hope it stays that way.

    You should go to the bar and ask chicks if they want to get covid the fun way.

    I did that last night...did that ever escalate quickly. At least I had an excuse this time when I wore out after 3 minutes.

    lady that works with me had it about 45 days ago. She still doesn't have her senses taste/smell....but she is a bit of a hypochondriac so I can't tell if she's exaggerating or not.

    I think most of us have been keeping to a strict diet of bourbon and slow seething anger. Heard it keeps the Chinese virus away.
    working so far....

Hubby with mask on, heads to basement with him and I just left the house altogether. Come back after he left, hubby says, they get to basement and the guy breaks out couging...WTH!. Hubby says I hope that's a smokers cough WTH....guy, no just allergies being miserable. I won't go into basement today....

    huh. I have had a steady stream of contractors/estimators in and out of my house for the better part of a month and all wore masks. I didn't, but it's my house. And I have my bourbon.

    wonder how long it is before one of those interruptors gets crucified and set on fire. Say the over/under is 11/03.

    ...I'll take the under.

    I have noticed that there are a lot of really, really attractive women in this world when half their faces are covered...maybe Mohammed was on to something.

    If you have pretty eyes and the rest sucks, this is your time.
