    Not at all, my life is about the same as it was before the pandemic right now. All except travel, that I do miss but that too will pass. Liked Rye's comment, I think many would agree that less contact with him is for the better.

    Nothing like a little encouragement and positivity.......Greetings from the Covid Capital UK
    As our Jack would say "Life goes on " and so it does, as one gets older you learn to accept thing more easily.

    Didn't have to wait long.

    Millions dying: There have already been around 1.5 million deaths this year. (Looks like a bit more than 1 death per second.)
    https://www.worldometers.info/

    Bureaucratic governments on overload: Nothing has changed since last year. If anything it will get worse.
    https://www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject....ampshare=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-55516277

    Freedoms severely curtailed: Plenty of lock downs happening. China still exists so about 20% of the world population is living under a repressive regime. Plenty of other governments that are far worse than them still exist.

    https://amp-washingtontimes-com.cdn...al-liberty-during-a-covid-19-pandemic-induce/


    Opportunistic gouging of consumers: Again, nothing has changed. Just one example:
    https://www.ktnv.com/news/coronavirus/price-gouging-continues-as-covid-19-cases-rise

    Children scarred for life: Domestic violence on the rise.
    https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/202...ing-rise-in-domestic-violence-during-pandemic

    This year will be no different than any other year. Bad sh*t happens all the time.

    The economy is so bad that......

    My neighbour got a pre-declined credit card in the post.

    CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

    Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

    I saw a Mormon with only one wife.

    McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

    Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America.

    Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their kids names.

    A truck load of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.

    A picture is now only worth 200 words.

    The Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates.

    And finally.......

    I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds etc, I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call centre in Afghanistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck!

    Woke up nursing a bottle of Emperador (empty I might add). The secret is coming down slowly so as not to get a hangover. Happy 2021 to all.

    That's terrible! How are you feeling right now? I wish you strength and safety enough to conquer your depression.
