@AGBF I really like you and all but even as a mostly liberal independent, I am not comfortable with satire/humour (?) regarding Trump in this tread. I think it should be something political free?

Agree, let's keep this politics free so all can enjoy. This is one of the few places to escape politics and discord.

I hope I didn't offend anyone...I think the blow drying Trump meme is pretty funny. I don't remember how many other political memes I posted but none of them are meant to offend. I agree this thread should just be for laughs and a humorous distraction from Covid 19.

How I feel during my weekly department happy hour...

Thanks Missy. I would just request that if there is any political content in the posts, that we leave it out. This is a great escapism thread. Trust me, I think there is a time and place for politics...but I think most of us would ask that we have 1 place to go to just laugh right now.

And this is applicable to other posters as well....lots of politically tinged posts over the last week.

As long as cat and other animal memes are A OK...




That's no joke.

A Covid Poem (for seniors and others))

The covid is raging
My life is a mess
I live in pyjamas
And don’t have to dress

I’m in isolation
Just staying at home
And would give my last dollar
To be free to roam

I’m seriously at risk
(or that’s what they say)
Telling me to stay in
And not go out each day

In my head i’m so young
Though my licence reveals
I’m a 70-plus senior
(but that’s not how it feels!)

When i run out of food
And deliveries are late
I have to buy groceries
Between 7 and 8

So early in the morning
I head out to restock
And discover a line up
That winds ‘round the block

Social distancing seniors
All 6 feet apart
Make me wonder just when
I became an old fart

My meals are repetitive
(a lot like my gas!)
And i’m tired of discussing
Why trump is an ass

My latest new outfit
Is gloves and a mask
And i’m starting to wonder
If i’m up to this task

I wash all my groceries
All fruit, meat and veg.......
Will this additional precaution
Tip me over the edge?

My beautiful brown hair
Has wide roots of grey
No hairdressers around
To help wash them away

I’ve been talking to myself
Now i’m answering back
Is it monday or friday?
I’ve really lost track

I’ve stopped doing housework
It’s weeks since i’ve dusted
And i know without visitors
I’ll never get busted

I facetime my friends
Or we group chat on zoom
And try to pretend
We’re all in the same room

Thank god liquor stores
Are considered ‘essential’
Without daily drinks
This would drive us all mental

Every once in a while
It is good to reflect
On what this all means
And what we can expect

It’s a time to be grateful
For all that we’ve got
Like a warm house and food
That others have not

The bottom line here
By the time this all ends
Is that we’ll get through it
With our family and friends


So even if your partner
Is a bit of a grump
You can really be grateful
You’re not married to trump!

@Garnetgirl I love it
You’re very talented. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Garnetgirl]

Thank you very much @missy. But it’s not my talent. I’m just forwarding this, which I got in an email from a friend. I don’t know who wrote it.

"LucasLux explained it was a social norm not to stand close to people you don’t know.” We really dislike being harassed and stalked by chatty staff in stores too. It’s about relaxing one’s mind by not having others going uninvited into your bubble,” he said. “We like being left alone by people we don’t know”

Unfortunately there are some here who can not set aside their divisiveness even for the sake of others who just want to take a break and smile a little. Perhaps they should start a thread specifically for political memes.

There is nothing in this thread from when it was started that said no politics. There have been a sprinkling of political memes all throughout, and quite frankly Trump has turned himself into a meme recently with his OWN comments. If you don't want to look at them, cant you just scroll past? Why the meme-policing?

She didn’t start the meme policing. Someone else did and all quickly agreed to adhere to it.

Hence why I didn't tag one person. There is no need for meme-policing in general. Its a meme. If you don't like it or agree, scroll on past.

Plus, I hadn't yet gotten around to posting this one :

And yet, people agreed to this earlier for the sake of unity...the first person to complain about it was met with consideration...and now that this thread is so far along, that seems to be the expectation.

 

[1ofakind]

Good grief....I did not 'police' anyone...I simply pointed out that some here do not choose to be considerate to those who would like to keep it politics free. And then the point was proven.

Not "all".

Nice try.

I thought you had me on ignore? Didn’t you declare that at some point? Guess you missed me
