Well, as of yesterday, I officially passed my second semester of my community college program in manufacturing, I'm on my way to a machine operator certificate if I pass the next semester. And then, I'll have to take one more year, but I'd be fully certified to work with robots in manufacturing and if that isn't the coolest shit.
Anyway I have a week and a half break until next semester starts up so right now I'm killing some DLC on Borderlands 3 and reading and enjoying a mini vacation until I have work tonight.

Well. I'm getting a divorce. Things just weren't working out. For the sake of our daughter we're going to stay friends and work together for her sake. My company went on strike last week, but I have jobs lined up and she agreed to give me half of our savings to get my own apartment. It's pretty rough but I just gotta keep moving forward

It's pretty rough but I just gotta keep moving forward I'm sorry to hear that. I've been there myself. Best thing you can do, for yourself, is keep busy. Keep moving forward. Dont give down the tmrabbit hole of depression if you can avoid it Hit me, or probably anyone else up, if you need to talk. What part of the country do you live, again?

I'm in Maine. But yeah, I'm just taking it one day at a time. In the last couple days I did some reflecting, and I know it's the right choice.

Well, as per agreed, I would get half of the savings we had. So I've been couch surfing, eating out, and driving everywhere since Saturday. I only had a few hundred bucks, was supposed to get the rest this week. After I called her to find out when i needed to pick up our daughter next week, she found out I was almost broke; then screamed at me and refused to give me the rest of what was agreed on. No lawyers, no anything, so I'm dead in the water. She eventually agreed to at least let me see my kid, but the money is still in the air.
I was banking on that. I needed it to get a new place. But because I spent money while I was homeless she might take it away from me. Listen, I'm not a saint by any fucking means and I have a bunch of vices, but I'm feeling pretty helpless right now. It's like she waited to find out that I was vulnerable and decided to fuck with me more. I've actually never dated a truly toxic woman until I married one. 2020 can suck my dick. Thank you for letting me vent. I can't do it on facebook because I don't want to get everyone we know involved and make it a pity party, so this is a very useful outlet. I'm sorry it's all drama...but hey, maybe I could use this to write some killer material for Whitey. I could never be the dickhead he is, but on paper...

Firstly OUCH 😣😱😠That sucks man I’m sorry to hear that And as for me things are pretty boring as my state (Victoria,Australia) is still in stage 4 lockdown for another 2.5 weeks so I can’t really go anywhere or do anything unless it’s essential. The good news is the number of cases has dropped dramatically and hopefully soon will be less than 100 active cases. So I’m keeping up with friends and family via social media and zoom and gaming the hours away.

I'm glad you were able to get out and stand with the Moms, Holden. I was still dealing with Rona when the protests and riots in Minneapolis were going on and it killed me not to be able to be out there.
Also, on the topic of this thread. Today is going great! As of today, I am down 47lbs!

Thatta boy, Tom!
I just finished my Irish dance class. We've been doing it via Zoom since everything closed back in March (right before St. Patrick's Day **sob**), and somehow it manages to work.

I just read that 'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' will only be available on Apple TV this year. I recognize that given the current state of, well, everything, this is a minor concern. But in what world would a sane person think that this is the year to pull a beloved holiday classic from network TV?

Well, today is Alison's (my wife's) due date for our first child, so... I'll let you all fill in the blank there.
Chances she has the kid on her actual due date are pretty slim, though, so we will see.
But today has been about like any other day the last 5 months, expecting a child, still being unemployed, and looking for work.

There's no good reason for it. I have it on DVD and have watched it more than once over the last week, but there's something timeless about watching an actual broadcast. Just a shame that some will miss out on that experience this year.

Which I think is absolute bullshit. Thankfully I'll still have the 24 hr Christmas Story marathon, but Charlie Brown holiday specials have been a network staple for decades. newcountry991.com/charlie-brown-holiday-specials-not-airing-on-network-tv-this-year/

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. But given the way 2020 is playing out, sure, why not.
