Finally did the antibody tests this morning and tested positive for the past exposure. Think DeWine will let me drink at a bar past 10pm now?

No. You're still grounded.

No, you likely got it there. At 10:01.

You can't drink at a bar past 10:01, but if you call it a protest you should be ok.

I'm protesting my liver.

My family will have our regular Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings this year for whoever chooses to come. As many of you have already seen me state, my mother has Alz and myriad physical disabilities. While she still knows who her family members are she will get to spend time with them, hug them. 

Whatever time she has left on this earth will be a life worth living. I've thought a long time about this and consulted with various family members, not to mention her GP. As her primary caretaker and daughter, it is a difficult decision to make the judgement call of where the fine line is between safety and cruelty in this unique situation.

So the call fell to me to make the final decision. 

I'm making the desserts again.

That was a tough choice you had to make.  I respect you for having done it.  There is no easy answer on something like this.  I hope your mom and your family have a wonderful and healthy Thanksgiving and Christmas.

When I lived in Kansas I almost didn’t fly back for Christmas and Thanksgiving a year because money was tight for me. I’m so glad I did because my dad passed away unexpectedly in January. I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I let money get in the way of the last Holidays with my dad. I applaud your decision letting her have what might be her last holiday with family she can remember during this time. Good luck and enjoy your holiday.

I too will be having Thanksgiving with my family. I've been around them off-and-on since March. I have on living grandparent left, who is already having pretty sad mental health issues. No way am I missing important holidays with time with my family, and they are the same way. No way would any of my family members want to miss family time over the virus. My mom was a county health nurse for many years, and retired from a separate county health department a few years ago. 

After the holiday, it'll be deer season. Which I finally get to partake in for the first time in 10 years or so -- and that was only a day or two then. This is my first real deer season with my family since 2002. It will be much-needed, quality family time for our family.

Opposite for me

Well...my school is now virtual until Dec 1st due to #of staff and students quarantined. Nearly 1/3 of high school kids quarantined.

4 high school kids, 2 jr high and 1 elementary kid tested positive ....1 teacher and 1 bus driver......

So I got the call today. I’m getting a vaccine or placebo on Monday. I’m part of the AZ1222 study.  I still gotta go over the details but I’m 90% sure I will participate. If you were chosen would you participate.?

Good ...........probably

21 day curfew starting Thursday. Businesses closed 10pm til 5am, DeWine asking people to stay home during that time, too. 

A curfew. LOL. DeWine's is going to be shocked when that does absolutely nothing to slow the spread. And then he's going to talk down to us even harder.

If I find I have nothing to do for 21 straight days, then sure. Odds of that happening are about negative-100%, though!

So my dad, who works 3rd shift, doesn't have to go to work now? lol

I think DeWine knows it’s stupid. He probably needs to do something and this is the best he can do. Cant really stop people from hanging out in private but also can’t shut down businesses because of the consequences involved in that. No good option.

Can I get the good parts of Pablo's life, too?

So WTF has changed except I have to finish my last beer at the bar at 9:59 instead of 10:15
