    Were you up against a cancellation cutoff date? I think it’s 50/50 things are open again by that point, and it seems that overall public opinion is shifting more in that direction the last few days.

     

    Close to losing a significant deposit.

    Some of you people are sucking at Easter. 
     

    There’s a lot to be depressed about, worried about, and scared of right now. But as of today most of us posting here are healthy and have full bellies, families intact, and as of today a lot to be thankful for, if were being honest. Maybe this is a horrible event that fundamentally brings positive change to US. Maybe the world. We don’t know, other than there’s going to be some hard times ahead. 
     

    happy easter you cunts. 

    I couldn’t have said it better.

    Actually, as an English major, I probably could have. But nice post.

    Son & DIL pre-ordered three family pack Easter dinners from Eddie V's, picked them up and dropped off our dinner for two at noon. All containers were  wiped down, as was the countertop after unloading..

    Shrimp cocktail, Caesar salad, herb roasted beef tenderloin, truffle mac & cheese, au gratin potatoes, asparagus with fresh lemons, bread, Bananas Foster butter cake with butter pecan ice cream. plus reheating instructions:

    Even more impressive than the food spread is that the pictures aren’t upside down.

  4. I usually do a leg of lamb. But this year I’m minus a wife and my folks won’t be joining us because of the quarantine, so that seemed like a bit much for just me and my two kids. I deferred to my eighth-grade daughter who gave up meat for Lent, and she said she wanted steak and mashed potatoes, so that’s what I’m serving up.

  5. We had to pull the plug on our Rosemary Beach trip with two other families.  Our house was booked the week of May 31, but it was just too close to know whether things would be back to "normal" in Florida, i.e, beaches and restaurants open.  The only option we had for this same house was early August, but it didn't work out for all three families, so we rebooked for 2021 and the owner gave us $1,000 of the total.

    So now I'm booking a hypothetical long weekend in San Francisco sometime mid to late July.  I have no idea what San Francisco will look like then, and whether any of the restaurants on my draft itinerary will be re-opened or will have shut down for good.  But it's at least giving me something to look forward to and cure the boredom.

    Fuck you, COVID-19.
