Sorry for the dumb question, but I couldn't find a place to attach a video to a post, as opposed to a pic.
Not like a youtube video, but a file.
Or is it not an option ?

No - not unless it's hosted on You Tube or elsewhere.

Technically, you should be able to upload ANY video to our Media library and then embed it anywhere on the site but that feature doesn't seem to work very well, probably due to the size of the files themselves. I will take a look at that when I get a chance though.

COVID was the biggest event we will ever have in our lifetime. Or in most people's lifetime. I saw a highlight the other day with empty stands and realized that is the first highlight from the lockdown I've ever seen.

5 years later it's as if it never happened, people never seem to talk about such an impactful event. I would think by now it would have worked it's way into more movie scripts, comedians should be utilizing COVID stories in their material. Not the suffering of course but I'm sure they could find humor in this event. It just seems so strange to me that the biggest event in our life, something everyone in the world experienced, has been dismissed and forgotten about so quickly.
 
I wonder if this guy even gets the irony

DGF I work for a small business lender (not the government) it's not forgotten or dismissed on our end, we watched a lot of good decent people lose everything due to the lockdowns (not going to start that discussion) but the small business entrepreneur has not recovered to where it was, nor do I think it will get back to that scale unfortunately. Even though my company had a relief program many just couldn't hold on, it sucked to watch grown adults sob when they couldn't hold on.

I guess that's it. People don't want to touch it because of all the tragic stories. I should realize this but it still seems strange that even in normal conversation with friends it's rarely even brought up, like it never happened.
 
The height of the lockdowns, the masking, the social distancing. Peasants.

I remember the first few days of the lockdown. I looked out the window and could not believe what was happening, it was like a science fiction movie. Just such a surreal experience. I'm just thankful I didn't lose anybody. If you told me when it started that over a million Americans would die I would have figured I'd know someone, or maybe a friend's dad or whatever. But thankfully that never happened.
 
Just for shits and giggles I looked up Sean Taylor rookie cards for pricing references. I have entire sets including 1/100, 50, 25, 10, 1, etc. I can't believe the prices they're going for... and these were low to mid-level cards that I saw.

Most of mine were signed by him
 
So I go to purchase a winter coat, just a beater for yard work or cleaning golf carts at work. I went to 5 stores, 6 counting a thrift store, to find a cheap coat and there were none. Just like in July when I tried to purchase a pair of short pants. I'm sure retailers have conducted studies that show shoppers are looking for sweat shirts in July and short sleaved shirts in January but it don't make a damned bit of sense to me. So they have forced me to go to Amazon and it's their own damned fault.
 
^^^ That looks lovely! We're getting freezing rain and ice Saturday/Sunday, which will take close to a week to melt. :rolleyes:
 
We're either getting 8-12 inches or 16-24. Weather station says 8-12 both Saturday night and Sunday day, so not sure if that's combined or separate.
 
Everything is coated in ice. I opened the door and froze.
