Advice from Limerick on social distancing. Warning: need sense of humour only registered users can see external links

I´ve figured out how to make your own Social Distancing Aid.

You will need:

12.5 metres or about 14 yards of flexible curtain rail

Gaffer tape

About 20 ft of string

Brightly coloured paint.

Paint curtain rail with your selected, preferably hi-vis colour

Take the curtain rail, bend it in a circle and secure with tape.

Tie the string to opposite points on your circle.

Put middle of string on head, preferably leading left to right so as not to oppose vision. Hoop will dangle down through evenly distributed gravity and clearly indicate your 2 metre or 6 ft safety zone at all times.

Note: it may be difficult to go through a door or drive a motor vehicle with this safety aid

I'm kinda surprised your "only essential establishment" did not have markers on the floor 6 feet apart. In New Baltimore, the Walgreens store is marked, in my city, Rite Aid is marked as is the Kroger. I drove into St Clair last week and Nieman's, a Spartan store,and had a portable handwashing station as you walked in, the checkout line was marked and there was a 4ft x 4ft plexiglass shield between me and the cashier.

I don't know about you, but I'm working from home two out of 4 days. Yep, my employer went to four 10 hour days, only for and during this pandemic.

I'm isolated, lonely and bored shitless.

I read somewhere that corona virus hangs around in the throat and is killed at 32 °C. I believe sperm is ejaculated at +/- 34°C. Food for thought maybe?

After the panic buying here in the UK
Supermarkets now only let so many in at once,who ever comes out the same go in,and your only allowed some many off 1 purchase.and queueing is 2mtrs a part.
But as for other social shit you've go scorates coughing & sneezing on the vulnerable thing it's funny,1 prick did it to a copper got 6mth inside..

Be careful eveyone, I just heard that the coronavirus is spreading thought the Internet and you can catch it through emailing

I have been practicing ant-social distancing for most of my life without any problem. Now I am just pissed-off because they are making me be "social" about my distancing.

As for coping: so far, so good.

For someone who loves going out every day like me, this enforced stopping home apart from shopping and exercise is purgatory but we can't complain, its an unfortunate necessity right now. With the death toll around the world rising daily, I don't understand these people who think they can flout the rules and go off to the seaside, thinking its a holiday. We all dislike stopping home but we have to and those who don't haven't got the brains they were born with. I've read more books than I've ever done and am rapidly becoming a couch potato watching t.v. as well as watching porn on the internet too, of course. I'm missing meeting up with all my friends but we phone each other several times a day to keep in touch, thank goodness this isn't the Middle Ages when phones and emails never existed, we'd all be totally cut off. A friend of mine made me a mask for my shopping trips, I feel like Jesse James off to rob a bank as I mosey on down to the supermarket! At least I've still got my sense of humour but my heart bleeds for all those who have passed away and I have nothing but admiration for the doctors and nurses who are looking after people when they haven't got enough of the necessary equipment to make sure they stay well themselves. I hope you all remain healthy and take care, RM xxxxx

All good in NYC... sucks ass to be inside all the time... We prob have another 40 days of this...

No matter how much most of us do the right thing, the 10-20% of ignorant idiots are putting our lives at risk. I am ready to put a sign on my lawn to let my neighbor know he should stay the hell home. He had a cookout over the weekend with people visiting.. New Yorker's gathered in a group to watch the Navy Hospital ship arrive. What the fuck is wrong with them! New York is maybe the most infected area in the world right now. Maybe they should tie rocks on their feet and jump in the river. Save the hospital bed they will soon need for being stupid, for a smarter person that did the right things. Unbelievable to me that they still don't get it.

Some of you say,"staying in the house". So is that to say some of you have no acerage to for example mow the lawn or chop wood or go work in the garage on a long term project? Wow I would go insane if I didn't have the abilty to go outdoors for activitys of some kind even if my property lines could be considered borders. I do go out to get food in the morning and a trip to the bank or something but then come back. Nothing like normal. I never knew how much i would miss sitting down in a comfortable seat and have someone bringing me my food and filling my tea glass.And cleaning up after me!
I did get a bunch of paper plates to help with the clean up when I cook at home.

Today is day six of quarantine for me, not because I'm in a high risk group but because I've become indefinitely unemployed and it's the right thing to do. I live alone with no pets and have always loved my couch time and I'm OK with my own company. I'm not lonely because I am in contact with my family and talk to my best friend Judy for an hour or two every day. Judy knows that I like to jerk off when we're on the phone because sometimes she goes on and on about something and I like to jerk off when she does. She knows I do it and tolerates it.
I have lots of food and toilet paper for when my body is done with the food.
Being a chef I've always had good hygiene habits (bordering on the side of OCD) and the last time I was sick was about 17 years ago so I feel that my immune system is pretty strong.
My parents are in their mid 70's and my Dad is a smoker so I have concerns about them but I know they know HOW to have good habits because they've had the (dis)pleasure of listening to me tell them about how important it is to wash their hands properly and not rub their eyes with their fingertips (my Dad had that filthy habit).
All in all I'm in good shape and well prepared to hunker down for over a month but as you mentioned 2nice, no sex except jerking off while Judy tells me a long story and I take care of things myself. Of course, like many of us, I'm spending a LOT more time looking at screens.

Being alone inside for so long lead me to try this site and I decided to give it a try.
