Also, any chance we can completely change the types of smilies we have in here?

Hey, is there no multi-quote function? :o

I also can't find the quote tags.

The other good news is I'm covid resistant now after multiple reinfections! I get over it in half the time. It's like a sport at this point, practice makes perfect. Eventually I won't get it at all, then the one month postviral inflammation timer will finally run out without a re-up and I can go ba...

I'm changing my mind on the no-contact thing. I think that in order to avoid abuses, justification should be offered to the mod(s), and it should be at the discretion of the mod(s) to grant the request, including when simply having to take the claimant's word for it.

I am a much better cook, to the point where going out for dinner is just an exercise in disappointment.

I've been watching Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (some of the stuff on that show has not aged well, heh), and now I think I'm a lot less keen to go back to restaurants.

Have any of your new habits stuck? One change I added so as to add some variety to confinement was taking classes, and I will continue to do so on a permanent basis. It's nice to do something besides work all day. I also just started jogging, we'll see how long that lasts. I don't see myself going b...
