slippers

that reminds me a giant astroid is going to pass near earth tomorrow.  it might hit the earth one day as it comes closer and closer each passing decade

just a little bit of rant here..i checked before it came out preorder was $70. that was when i thougt it was a full game and wanted it under $60. checked back a couple days later and it was $140..wth..checked again yesterday and it was $90 for 10% of the game (yeah all from same seller). thats very disappointing they decided to slice up the game like that. its not a &^#$# pizza y'know. i try not to play long games if im not committed to it and my question would be how long do i have to wait until an entire thing comes out and how much itll cost me.. i have the original on steam, pc cds, ps3, and switch rotfl 😂 ill just play the original for now..its been years since i played it..and wait it out and see how fast the 2nd one comes out. in june i have some ps4 games im planning to get anyways thatll keep me busy for awhile

texas gov is planning to reopen in may..or at least lift some restrictions. 1000+ new cases daily and we havent even had our peak yet. ppl want to be impatient and die then no one can stop them. but cant blame those who need to work and feel desperate. either way it hasnt affected me that much and im like 80% confident that i had corona back in jan so i almost have no fear of it. dont get me wrong though, if this thing was something like ebola, i would drop everything and ill be one of first ones to lock myself in and never come out for an entire year lol. only thing i like about this whole thing is theres no school buses in the morning bc i have to pass like 3 different schools to get to my work. theres still lots of cars out there. they all cant be essential workers or grocery shoppers but anyway schools here are definitely out until august. ill get my stimulus in may via mail. i always choose mail option for my tax refund so i dont mind. i thought there was suppose to be 2nd stimulus checks coming but i guess thats out the window for texas

what they are saying is you could get it again bc their bodies have not fully recovered yet and that for those who had severe cases will likely to have long term damage to their hearts and lungs. i remember reading covid-19 structure has similarities that of hiv, sars, and mers combined. they mixed antiHIV and sars drugs, and had success in treating 90 yr old woman who suffered from it several months ago in thailand. currently US has surpassed Italy in death tolls, and sure US has larger population, but majority of US population suffers from obesity and cancer of all ages, plus cant be good for pregnant women so its not just older ppl who should be worried. but it is said less than 1% of US population has been tested so unless everyone is tested we may never know how well US is dealing with this virus right now and it could be months and months away for us to know for sure if we got rid of it or not

sledge- i dont think its that simple. one of my coworkers' daughter works as postal worker. 2 of her coworkers are corona positive and said they are scared to go to work (no proper masks and gloves) but have no choice. last time i checked there were 400 infected postal workers, but now its more than 2000+ nation wide. if it does reoccure during next flu season, voting fraud and undelivered absentee ballots (wisconsin) arent the only probs itll face. theyll might protest like other postal workers in different countries over their safety and might interfere w/ election

dx- could it be bc of warm weather contributing to it? its so weird bc italy went on a drastic measure a month before, much more strict than US, to lockdown their towns and cities and i heard today that they are extending more of their lockdowns. South Korea also reports almost 100 recovered patients tested positive again and some of them have worsened symptoms than their 1st time. and i dont know the stats for other cities or states but here in houston majority of corona victims are black ppl and there werent all elderly, some were middle aged too. it was on local news, im not joking, that houston mayor advising black ppl to avoid drugs and alcohol lol. and ive noticed that a lot of obese ppl are victims as well, and houston is to have peak in early May so quaranting this way may not work in houston. but i do agree that its unfair for healthy ppl to have lost their jobs over this and US could have done much much better with preparation but its still too early to tell what this virus can do

Mjk JL - for better or worse, the whole world is united in this and its kinda freightening to me. at any point they could implement something in the name of safety and theres nothing anyone can do about it or face jail time. 

just thinking about this bc on the news it said corona could drag on until july. so is it even possible to have a normal election this year the way things have turned out? what if this virus reoccurs in coming fall?  the virus could become seasonal until it disappears in a few years. and its not like ppl wants to line up and vote, it could take forever trying to distant themselves or using app could end up in a mess just like that in iowa caucus. to me postponing election until next year would be more reasonable..but so many unemployed and global economy might not hold until then. it seems uncertain whats going to happen..hmm maybe one world order coming soon as US falls further down in debt. trump could be US' last president.....¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this comes out tomorrow right? im still not sure if i want to buy it. battle mode looks good but it seems like it takes forever to beat any bosses. and for the story wise, i already know what happens. it took me 2 months straight to beat dbz kakarot, compare to dragon quest 11 which only took me 3 weeks (both had same amount of gameplay time average of 60 hours), not that gameplay wasnt fun, but i wasnt that motivated to finish the game. hopefully im wrong and gonna wait little longer until maybe price drops. im sure biggest disappointment  for everyone who anticipated this game is how they decided to give titfa a massive breast reduction lol  

i heard that site is a scam, charges you annually for something you are not even interested in. and it seems like a lot of ppl have abandoned their facebook bc some havent updated in almost a decade

i think tried to look up my old crush several years ago but it seems like she disappeared into thin air. last time i saw her was on a local tv channel. she was playing for her high school basketball team back in 2001

has part two as well. good and new documentary that led up to his murder suicide. seeing dean malenko old and shakey like that is sad

yeah my mom deposit it that way by using her phone but she uses a different bank than mine so i dont know. and i heard your phone can be hacked and they can go through your photos so im little paranoid about getting any apps even if its trusted one you never know lol i dont even download mini games. had my coworker experienced with her phone this way and had to freeze her debit card after ordering pizza, and had other coworker had his phone all messed up after downloading strange apps and games i told him not to

i only use my credit card so my bank stopped sending me a debit card when it expired. i kept forgetting my pin numbers and hate to keep asking them to reset so i stopped bothering with it. maybe atm will allow a credit card to do the same? ill have to try that next time, thanks. and im also kinda itching to try that tube thing but imagine all the germs thats stored in that capsule i bet they dont even wash it

yeah i saw water marks make it look more distinct somehow, i think ill keep it around lol 😂 

that sucks. oh and say hi to lady for me. i dont think she posts here anymore 😛 i hope shes doing good

i remember my brother seemed shocked and upset when he found out his classmate (use to be his science lab partner and said he was really nice) died in a car accident and had to go to his funeral. it was like a couple months after their college graduation so that was like back in 2004. to think you spend your half of your young life on study and only after finishing all that hard work you get killed..maybe thats why i never liked studying and school seemed like a waste of time to me..

and theres this girl, i never met her but my mom and my brother knew her bc they use to go to same church together. she was very well known in her TKD (taekwondo) sports community for giving her olympics spot to her injured friend back in 2000 sydney olympics. she was on news and everything. she died at age 40 died of liver and kidneys failures last december. its so weird how she died though as if death was planning her demise like in final destination. she was already malnutritioned and wouldnt eat anything, and she only drank strong liquor so she was very weak and her bones were fragile despite warning from her doc many times over the years to stop drinking. one day she saw a cockroach on a wall and she tried to sidekick it. the impact of hitting a wall with her foot traveled all the way up to her spine and cracked it. she went to hospital for back pain but instead she went into coma. she was conscious for following week and doc told her she was too weak to do surgery. for the first time she agreed to have dialysis but it was too late. even though she was sedated, still she died an agonizing death after they removed her feeding tube. her mom waited until she woke up from coma, she wanted to let her know she will die and to say goodbye. she turned this way all bc her dad decided to leave his family and screw around with his young assistant at his dojo, she hated even associating with TKD she once loved so she got a job as a bartender and that started the whole thing. i know it was still her choice to make changes but oh well

i see ads like ear wax removal, dental works, and some random anime characters. but you are right, i dont see ads when im logged in

do you google for your old friends or foes over the years and to see what happened to them? recently i found my old yearbook from 8th grade and randomly searched for my old classmates. to my surprise two of them passed away. im pretty sure there are more. i tried to look for others but some of their names are too common and results are like hundreds of ppl with same names on facebook/instagram/mylife etc so i gave up.

so one of them joined a marine and died in a car accident a couple days before his deployment to iraq in 2002. another one died in 2017 but doesnt say how in his obituary page..but i found his mugshot page with multiple drug posession charges so im guessing drug overdoes or suicide. both of them were assholes during middle school years but kinda mellowed out and matured during high school years. kinda puts you in a perspective that same ppl you went to school with didnt even get a chance to live their full adult life.

and this ones not a classmate but someone i had arguments over and over on a different messageboard around 2007 - 2009. we both disliked each other and he was such a stuck up prick i couldnt stand him. i ended up getting him banned somehow and i quit the board later on. not long after i found that yearbook, i found out that he died in 2015. his friends were talking about his death on their messageboard so thats how i knew. massive heartattack at 40 yrs old bc of heavy drinking. he got depressed bc his close friend committed suicide after he got deported (its his fault trying to forge documents and got caught). both were canadians and he was living in new zealand or something. now i think back, i dont even know what all those stupid arguments were about. kinda feel sorry for him too that he died alone in his apartment. eh just random thoughts from binge watching zombie movies and news about corona related deaths 💀 

it was great though. i felt like a little kid again looking at a new super nintendo console on display at toys r us for the first time or something.

yeah i should know better and not to fall for rumors like that..but with news headlines like "US surgeon general warns of pearl harbor moments" and "trump says national lockdown is we talk about" i had to take it with a grain of salt just like houston mayor assured us that there will be no lockdown, boom..the next day he shuts the city down lmao 😂 

before i thought grocery online delivery was working fine in other countries so 2 weeks closing of all stores including essential businesses would be no problem. but after witnessing panic buying fiasco in early march and overwhelmed online deliveries, these would never work in the US. i would hope though if US is as serious as what its saying about upcoming death tolls 
due to corona then it should. or at least implement heavy curfew nation wide because ppl arent exactly following any guidelines to stay away from each other nor care. i had seen a customer armed to the teeth one day with a face mask, a trash bag, gloves and even goggles on, but a next day its a usual tank top and short jeans saying its too much work 

i thought AC disabled sigs long time ago lol!! i forgot what mine was anyway. its either ryoko or relena 😛 im gonna check it out with ipad later. i see AC has some ads here and there so i dont wanna use my pc just incase its harmful

i didnt know this thing existed for real lol 😂 man it was like 5th element mail delivery scene. so futuristic lol..it was so cool.  i heard a rumor last night that said trump was gonna do a national lockdown and all stores will be closed for two weeks, so i needed to deposit my checks just incase it was true. after work, i went to my local bank branch and had a note at a front door saying it was closed and directed me to a different location. i was like uh oh? so i got there and an entrance to a building was also closed but a note with an arrow directed me to a drive through only. i go around the building and far left was a window lane, two middle lane had long transparent tubes connected from top to bottom, and far right was atm lane. i drove to a window lane and waited and watched what others were doing with those tubes. a driver pulls out a capsule from a tube, puts his deposit slip in, puts the capsule back in, then it goes up and vanishes. maybe a minute later, it comes back down and its done. he drives off. a teller sat on a window said this lane is for business only but was really nice about it telling me i should use the tube next time. i googled it and said it existed for years! so yeah i feel bleh for not knowing but i never used a drive through before so haha 😂 

sledge- definitely downplaying and spreading false info can hurt us at the first few months that were very critical, but after a failure to prevent the virus from entering a country, what we know now can make us careless too. another reason i think for ppl, regardless of their politcal affiliation, for not taking it seriously is bc corona isnt as deadly as it initially thought. when you hear what mortality rate is, it can be scary. but do opposite and say you have 97% to 99% survival rate then its not so scary anymore. it can be "just a flu" depends on who you apply to. sure no one wants this to mutate and become much more aggressive than it already is. but for now, ppl are more worried about losing their homes/businesses than getting sick. so US has to make a decision and stop from further devastation: save the economy or save our vulnerable citizens? i dont think US can do both at this late in stage. we all had already seen what kind of extremely brutal measure china took to stop from further spreading.. or maybe its too late to do anything and just hope and wait till it passes

i dont think we all had it all at once. maybe just some of us did and cycle continued until it caught up on to larger groups with equivalently low health/immune system such as nursing homes. its incubation period is 2 to 4 weeks, even more, theres no way to know virus lives on us hiding as we could be carriers and reactivates multiple times without showing any symptoms. before my brother moved out and got married, he use to go out alot after work and he brought home cold/flu buncha times. for 2weeks of sneezing and coughing and by the time he got better my mom got sick. and when she was getting better i got sick. we were in a same household and it took me almost a month to get sick so its possible for corona to spread weeks or months apart at times, depending on who it infects and where it reaches. im not even saying this theory is true though. it only exists bc chinese govt tried to hide it possibly for weeks or for months until it got out of control. until we know more about this virus, im not counting this theory out yet 😛 

^ i thought you guys had 6pm curfew like california did. hm guess not but yeah i see that NY gov guy appear on news almost daily demanding ventilators. cant blame him though. its just gonna get worse if nothings done. face masks are still taboo here lol..but i do see more and more ppl wearing them too. bandana if they dont have one. a guy who works at a walmart as a greeter told me yesterday that he was not allowed to wear one let alone give him one bc it might scare ppl away. still long way to go before ppl take it seriously here

cant imagine how desperate some ppl are going to be getting laid off for this or losing hours bc their business has slowed down. theres a warehouse near my workplace and a worker there had a fight with his supervisor and he shot himself in the head right after locking himself in a bathroom. he probably thought he was singled out and humiliated in front of everyone. this happened 2 or 3 days before shelter in place order took place in houston, and we found out bc there were like 9 cop cars showed up at their warehouse and customers and his coworkers came by to our store and told us what had happened. if he waited just a few more days though, lockdown would have closed down the warehouse anyway. what a waste of life and he thought his life was over for losing his job that day. just a bad timing for that guy. i only saw him couple times so i feel bad for not remembering his face that well

^ wow glad shes okay. she must had some underlying health issues to get sick like that

..man US was so unprepared for this. It sad. had the whole front view of what china and europe were going through for at least two months and the worst hasnt even happened yet. And houston mayor is a clown, its unbelievable. instead of taking this seriously, he is handing out cupcakes 🍰 to nurses with no mask on and no gloves. Wth..X'D And his latest order is to remove all basketball hoops from public parks. Why? Nobody knows. Thats his priority. No leadership whatsoever. now im hearing texas will be the next hot spot within couple weeks. houston is screwed. lol 

is NY doing any better? any changes on restrictions/curfew?

Sledge- I think it seems that way because ppl are rushing to get tested. results are ppl overwhelming hospitals and exhausting medical supplies, beds, and ventilators just like what happens during panic buying. Other surrounding states i bet have similar number of cases but lacks testing kits, their numbers will rise as soon as they are available. Houston last sunday went from like 23 new cases to 500 new cases in a matter of a day, but still turning ppl away who show no serious symptoms due to test kit shortage. And only a week ago told them test kit was faulty and closed down drive through test area for some time. In some areas ppl are waiting in line for hours to get tested, best way to catch something even when you arent even sick 😷 

Dx- Normally i cant distinguish  smell so hard to say when i was sick in jan but my symtoms were mild, thankfully. One of symtoms that im kinda convinced that i had it was body chills. Last time that happend to me was when i had a stomach flu but that was like more than a decade ago. For three days i was sick, i kept thinking whats going on, somethings not right here. One of regular customers i talk to said when he traveled to france in december, he ended up in hospital because he was so sick but came out negative for flu as well. He also suspects it was corona but he isnt sure either. Strange that it doesnt affect infants and children that much, they have weak immune system most of all

I was prepared 😛 i stockpiled 3 months worthy of supplies back in February. Hurricanes after another, or if anything bad happens, shelves are always empty here. As soon as i heard 1st case of corona virus hit the US, i was like yup..now or never. My aunt in South korea didnt believe me when i told her ppl here were fighting over toilet papers..i couldnt explain any furthur..

Texas is beginning to catch up to california in corona cases it seems. Will have to see in coming weeks but Houston's response has been very slow and not enough testing. One of 4th largest cities in the States and yet we dont even have a curfew yet. Our current weakass lockdown order ends in a couple days, so we are going to hear soon about extention and hopefully a strict curfew.

stay safe guys. As long as you are healthy you have nothing to worry about. Unconfirmed source has it that corona has been spreading since semptember of last year and as early as november here in the States. And like many, showing corona like symptoms, i was sick for 3 days in January, with body chills, chest pains, and some headaches but no fever. and lingering dry cough that lasted for 2 months.. but we'll never know if it was or not and take this seriously as it passes like other respiratory viruses slow down during warm weather. Unless its manmade..cough 😛

good job at trolling that manager. at least he was honest   

yikes that's brutal. i would have at least stayed one more week to get a free forklift training though. who knows it might come in handy one day I remember seeing this episode of Undercover Boss where warehouse workers simply collapse from heat exhaustion because they have no running a/c and they have to pay for a bottle of water. scary part was despite camera was rolling, managers there didn't give a crap. lol.

<<<I asked my boss.. "umm.. I don't know what to tell these people about these serious issues. Are you sure a temp is right for this job?"

Boss: "I'm sure everything will be fine. How difficult can 'Bob's' job be? I swear he just sits on his ass all day browsing the internet. Ask Jolene if you need any help."

Me: "Hey Jolene, what in the hell should I be telling these people?"

Jolene: "Well I would tell this person.. blah blah and this person.. and this.. (actual decent advice)"

Me: "Ok, thanks, I'll see what they say. btw, how long have you been working here?"

Jolene: "1 week. I'm a temp too."

Me: "Wow. Don't you think this is the worst position to fill with temps?"

Jolene: "Absolutely. This place is a disaster."

I worked at that place for 1 1/2 weeks. That company filed for bankruptcy within 5 years. When I heard about it, I wasn't surprised in the slightest. >>>

HAHAHA X'D
Me: "Hey boss, how long have you been working here?"
Boss: "1 week. just got promoted from package sorting"

cool. what did you do there? did you drive forklift and stuff? I spoke to someone who worked at a warehouse before and he told me they only gave him two days of work. and every week, his schedule was different like one day he can work monday and wednesday, next week, he can work tuesday and friday etc., giving him no room to get a 2nd job and he didn't know when his paycheck gonna come each week. ouch.

they built a new warehouse a couple miles from my home not too long ago. but i didn't give a good look but i think they are for distributing mechanical parts. no sign of hiring. their alleys(?) are open but it's always empty though. but yeah driving forklift sounds fun.

thanks! when i applied, i told them i wanted to do interstate (to have better chance of getting hired). but it'd be awesome if i could do local/state. but right now, i got this as a back up. i needed some kind of skill, just incase something happens at my current job, get laid off or whatever. i'm thinking about getting a part time job maybe as a class B driver, or get a bus endorsement (which requires another road test). one of my coworkers has a sidejob as a plumber helper and he said he made $150 just changing waterheater working only 3 hours. that motivated me to get my CDL in the first place because i'm not that young anymore lol, hopefully i can learn other trade too.

i passed my (CDL class A) road test today. so happy :D. watched so many youtube videos about trucking that i actually learned how to pass driving big rigs and getting my license (plus playing euro truck simulator video game helped lol). instructors from trucking school that i went to had little to no help because of limited time and being busy/stressed out etc (they had only two working trucks, only an hour a day training/practiced for 2 weeks..8 to 12 hours total..not enough time imo), although i can't blame them since DPS is two months behind their regular road tests as there are so many people applying for their CDL. economy man, still sucks for lot of ppl.

just couple examples what it's like to expect during road test:
