I ended up catching a mouse in a somewhat humane way.
I used a sticky trap. Then once the mouse landed in it I put it in a box, poured coconut oil on it to loosen it from the trap, then set it free in the outdoors.
The mouse was a bit freaked out cause it thought I was going to kill it, and it did not like being stuck (and that sticky glue is heavy duty) but it’s better than those traps chopping its head off

The 80s must’ve been an… interesting… time.

^^Very. The reason everyone nostalgizes it is because it sucked ass but in kind of a cool, committed way, sort of. Every once in a while I'm flying I'll watch a movie we thought was good in the 80s and I can't believe how shitty stuff was. Granted, I was a kid, and had no taste, but still. People used a can of hairspray a day.

Rhode Island, neither a road nor an island.

^^I'm on the island part, Aquidneck Island, but the name comes from Dutch "Roodt Eylant" (Red Island) they think maybe because of the clay. Looking at houses, which is stupid, since I'm only here a few weeks every year.

Rhode Island..I love their accents.





I actually am struggling with this right now. I have dozens of "professional friends" in China, people I've gotten drunk with, talked life with, joked with, done very late nights with. But they are not real friends per se; and Chinese culture, though it is similar to Western culture in a business setting, is different when in a private setting.
So I've been wanting to do the Western thing and reach out and say "I'm here for you, I support you, is there anything you need, what can I do, etc" but I don't know the way to talk to someone from Chinese culture who is under extreme duress but can't really admit to it, for fear of presenting a negative face. I'm worried my concern would appear disingenuous. Then reading this, I now worry I'm over thinking it. Luckily I don't have any friends in Wuhan, but I have friends in Kunming, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangdong. So I've thought myself into a corner - I haven't written anyone, which is probably worse, because I might offend them.

At first I laughed about it but now I'm thinking about getting one.
This coronavirus is starting to look like California is the main area of concern right now in USA. UGHHH. I've been saving up money, a mask, cleaning supplies, and food in case I need to chill at home for a month. Working in close contact with people is going to end for me and I will have no source of income if it gets bad. I'm nervous and hope it gets contained. Think we are at 20 positive in Cali and 8400 being monitored here. I nonstop check it daily. N95 and N99 masks are sold out online which says a lot.
They said on the news "don't worry if you are healthy you will be fine." Okay but if your immune system is crap you don't address that issue to the public. It's an instant issue. I'm so worried. loll.
^ I have been a hermit for the past month since having my baby. We haven't gone anywhere other than to pediatrician appointments and luckily they have two different sides for sick kids and healthy kids and separate entrance for babies. There's too much germs out there this time of year and now this coronavirus panic.





I ordered landscaping rocks for my yard and didn't realize that when delivered they would be dumped at the edge of the driveway. Like the dump truck unloaded and then peeled out into the sunset. LMAO I had not thought this through at all. But luckily a neighbor had rented an excavator and moved them to the backyard this morning. Like we don't even have a wheelbarrow! When we first moved here no one on the block really talked to each other. It feels nice to see that start to change.
Scary for babies. Glad you are at home. Watching video from China of people dropping dead on the street from coronavirus terrified me.

Alright, serious question for the blues here…
So, a bit of backstory… today at work, one of the techs from our side of the shop (let’s call him K) stopped a relatively new tech from “the other side” (who we’ll call M) and asked him if he wanted to see a magic trick. So M said yes, and K started positioning his hands, then stopped and said he needed to take some measurements. So he grabbed a tape measure - one of those 50’ ones with a metal case, and took a measurement from the bridge of M’s nose down, then held it out parallel to the floor, looked at the measurement, locked the tape measure, and then let the heavy end go so it swung like a pendulum to hit M in his balls, and everyone laughed their asses off.
Which, I laughed as well, but it makes me wonder…
Now, I’ve more or less been told that if I hit someone in their balls for any reason which isn’t purely defensive, I’m a horrible person for doing it. Not that it’s something I do, but that aside. I also get it’s a “bro code” violation to do this; a notion further reinforced by the media, for example…
So… is it an agonizing, horrific thing that’s blasphemous in a sense to do to each other, or is it a big funny? Because deeds and words aren’t telling me the same story here, and it’s leaving me a little confused.

Bro code?

It is both... much like The Three Stooges poking each other in the eye. From the description, it sounds like the "magic trick" is actually thought out and results in there being little kinetic energy at the point/moment of impact, so M was not in danger of being actually injured from the stunt. Since it involves a piece of metal, it is less humiliating than it would have been if K had used his hand and slapped or grabbed M's scrotum.
