Somebody stole our crab cage this morning! I hope they are eating some blue crab for dinner. I would have given them the crab anyhow. Sure wouldn't have been stolen when I was a kid!

Some of my in-laws are commercial fishermen. They own their own seafood business too. It is common for them to have their traps and catches stolen - by other commercial fishermen. Crabs have gotten stupid expensive, so lazy, dishonest a**holes steal them.

Making ((local in person)) friends in your late 20s - hard

making new friends in a new city during covid— IMPOSSIBLE

You have us. Age doesn’t mean anything here. I am proof of that. LOL!

You have a family of friends here. Age doesn’t mean anything here, or so they keep telling me. :-) Cheer up and jump in here whenever you like.

Almost to Chattanooga. Sad to leave and good at the same time.

Safe travels Miss K and family.

The tall trunk in the photo is gone now, but I left the base of the tree In the fence line. If I was talented enough to carve such a thing, that might be cool for two tikis. Anyone know anyone handy with a chainsaw that can also whittle? :-). This is what is left.

I have a friend who carves logs into anything people want. He has traveled but it was for politicians. Could only imagine that bill
Some of his projects are really cool

:)

Si you have clowns? Man my life sucks. I never have enough free time read up on Journals

I know I do! But some days I feel so isolated. I need human contact. Facial expressions. Laughter.

I know the feeling. I mean not so much in my case because I am fine alone but I do feel bad for people that are more social. I noticed your avatar and was like yup, I see what she is saying. Hang in there. We all just have to work through this while we let those work on real solutions.

I know it isn't the same thing but I know my niece throws a zoom happy hour with her friends. Sort of interesting. They also watch movies at the same time. Some will sync up and start at or as close to the same. Friends of ours with Plex can sync the movies. So silly things like that.

Out doors though - I get it. We have grabbed our GSD, threw her in the back, and went to the ocean. Grabbed a bottle of wine, fried some chicken, cheese, salads, etc - and just walked around a bit. Outside it isn't as bad and not a lot of people. We stay off the larger populated areas.

I thought I saw you dive, or a picture. Not sure how far a safe body of water is but maybe do a day trip. We head to Monterey for about 2 dives off the beach. In any case I do feel for you. If nothing else go outside for a few just to see the sky - maybe kick a bush while you are at it :). Well, nothing aggressive - just the ah shucks sort of thing :)

Would be cool if we all did a Zoom get together. I can picture us all laughing to tears.

EDIT: Jinx @saf1 !

These are all great suggestions!!
Thank you. I wish I could dive more. The lake dives just aren’t the same. If I had a significant other I don’t think I would feel like this. And honestly I’m thinking that the dive trip made my mental health worse, not better. Because I got 4 days of socializing and being around people with common interests and now being deprived of that, it’s like an open wound. I love being alone, but having been alone since March... and (TMI) no physical contact with the opposite sex since January. I feel insanely empty. I thrive off of connecting with people. Whether that’s sharing a love of diving, or reminiscing old times. There’s something about doing these things in person, a chemical connection, that I do not get. Humans are social animals. I am trying my best to be diligent about COVID and distancing. But we are on month 5.... and I’m at a point where my mental health is declining. And my parents are 68, so they don’t want to risk the road trip (5 hours) to come and visit. My sister lives 13 hours away and has voiced she doesn’t want me to come. Its all hard. I’m a mental strong person normally. Today I’m just feeling weak I guess.
gosh and now I just feel like I word vomited stream on consciousness.

In your case the recommendations are devastating. You need to find a small group you can hang with asap. I suggest if you have a hard time is contacting a pastor. They can get you in a group.

Me, too!!! I just learned how to screen shot my phone last night, so it's not just "old people" (at least, I don't think 40 is old) that need help with technology ;Hilarious
