Men-free Zone ~ The Non-romantic Relationship Thread

My friend and her husband went up to their place in the desert in February and she begged her family to come out. She even offered to pay to get them out here but her sister wasn't coming without her baby daddy and their mama wouldn't come without the sister because of the grandkids. Fast forward to now and Detroit is on fire with coronavirus and all the adults have symptoms but the kids don't. Now they want to send the kids out and friends is conflicted but erring on the side of no but her dh is like absolutely tf not. Their baby is not even a year old and even if they didn't have one, them kids have had up close and personal exposure to people with symptoms. It sucks for them but Nope. Nope. Nope.
 
I'm going to kill my upstairs neighbor. He is so loud and noisy and since this pandemic he has had people over with loud music every night. He never worked but I guess now his friends aren't either since businesses are closed and it's party at his place. Dude is not even that young, probably early 30s but he's carrying on like a 21 year old. They all up there yelling. F*** Corona.

We are having some trouble with noisy neighbors too. Our neighbors sons are home from college and work out in their garage for about 5 hours everyday, blasting music.

How are you handling it? I finally had to send this guy a text and ask him to keep it down because some people still had to get up early in the am. He pushed back at first, saying everyone was home all day "doing nothing" and I had to break it to him that he's likely the only one doing nothing. I still have classes and everyone on my floor is working from home except one man (he's a postal worker). This fool went around and tried to poll the building! :confused: The only reason I know this is because he texted back much later with "I tried to confirm that our neighbors are all as busy as you seem to think and they all kept telling me to come back later because they were on conference calls or in class on zoom so I guess you're right" :drunk: I can't stand him!

And my landlord is useless. I complained to the landlord once about this guy and he told him and dude came downstairs beating on my door wanting to start problems so no more of that. Police would be the next option.
 
In neighbor news, new neighbors on my floor are more like dirty neighbors. The first ones have been here maybe since the end of last year; they haven’t been an issue but they’d leave the trash compactor all kinds of ways. They eventually stopped.

Then a new set moved in and they must’ve saw that they had a language in common, because they started just throwing their garbage all kinds of sideways. One day, I had no choice but to just throw my garbage in there because I couldn’t even walk in the room. My direct neighbor (we share a wall) saw me one day and I said I can’t even get in. She went off. So, she said the porter should tell them they’re dirty and I said the porters aren’t really allowed to talk to the neighbors outside of pleasantries or else they’d get fired. The porter shows up and she starts yelling that they nasty and he’s just standing there looking like help. Few days later, roaches running towards me when I open the compactor room.

One morning, I was taking out the garbage and they had their door open. She saw me struggling past the roaches, fail and since I’m not used to this, when I went to get spray, I came back with fantastic :nono: Spraying them just to throw out garbage. A couple of mornings later, I hear my neighbor yelling to the others. Haven’t seen garbage on the floor since :look: but the damage is done and the smell of bleach assaults you every time you throw out the garbage.

Woke up this morning, and my neighbor downstairs was yelling to her husband that she needs a real man. Same song, different tune. I would too if I was working daily and he was playing drums in 125th street train station :look:
 
Not even sure which thread to put this in lol. I just got a random message from a guy I was friends with as a kid. He said that he is praying for me because I am not a believer and it’s important that I believe now and he is worried for my soul.

I was surprised because I don’t remember talking to him about my faith/lack of. Ever. So I texted him and asked him what he was talking about. He said that I told him 30 years ago that I was having doubts about Gods existence. That I have been on his mind and he is worried about me. I’m surprised that after all these years that’s what he remembered about me lol.


I did not respond. But I am here wondering why he is worried about my soul when he should be putting his own house in order. He is a man whore with 4 kids with 4 different women. Married 2 years ago to one woman (not one of his baby mammas) while he is currently living with another (also not one of his baby mammas. In addition, I know for a fact that he used to be DL bisexual. In addition, he used to sell drugs. I knew him before all of this transpired. He was a sweet and innocent kid when I knew him. Then things went crazy for him and he went buck wild. He needs to worry about himself...

Send this to him.
 
Hi ladies!

I hope all of you are taking care of yourselves.
I had a bit of a spiral a couple of weeks ago. The anxiety of the pandemic, social isolation, and my past ptsd reviving its ugly head all came to a head.
I spoke with my therapist and started to meditating. I use the insight app which has been a blessing.
I feel better now. I still have bouts with anxiety but at least have a way to deal with it.

I'm tired of this social isolation. It has been 5 weeks. I will continue on but sheesh it is tiring.

What are you all doing in your free time? I've been reading, watching more tv than I ever have, and cooking. I'm tired of cooking.
 
@BrownBetty Im so sorry to hear this. I know that the social isolation and all the uncertainty has been so hard on everyone. Please take care of yourself. Is there anyone that you can FaceTime everyday to chat with?

Thank you @Leeda.the.Paladin. I am in constant contact with folks now, zoom, whatsapp, phone. I'm doing tons better. It is still a lot but I'm managing.
How are you?
 
I'm not shocked about this but I do find it overwhelming how many people are a paycheck away from a terrible situation. Seeing the responses to how people spent their stimulus check to catch up on past due bills before all of this has been eye opening.
 
Every Sunday since the zombie apocalypse started, I send out status check texts to see if everybody is doing ok.

My aunt asked me if I got my stimulus check and I told her naw. She told me that when I do to make sure I send her something. I was like :rose:

My little brother got laid off a few weeks back so I just let him know if he needed anything to let me know and I would cash app him. Then I asked how it worked. He asked me how did I not know how it worked and I told him nobody ever sends me money. I don't get to see that side of things. :lachen: To his credit, he said that he was good and didn't need anything.

All my friends seem to be doing good. I know one couple in their 70's (married 50 years) who both have the virus but they have only had moderate symptoms and seem to be doing ok now. The wife was bedridden for a few days while the husband only had a cough but could get around.
 
Speaking on stimulus checks...
I was on ig yesterday, in a private gossip page they were posting about some new scam. I think they mentioned trey songs brother was in on it. Anyway, two people dm the owner of the page (F). One said she gave her last $150 I think and will she get it back. F said no, it’s a scam. The second person said she gave a few times, total of $450 and F told her to stop, it’s a scam. She was told she’s not getting her money back. They kept saying “they said I’d get $1200 back”. I was like wow.

So I scroll and see it again I think on charlamagne page. I send the link to someone. And you know what I’m told? Someone’s family member put their whole refund into the same scheme and when they sent them a check back, it was told to them by the bank the check was bad.

It amazes and saddens me at the same time. I get annoyed giving money to the supermarket lol, mainly right now with no sales. I couldn’t imagine giving money away to the internet.
 
So since people are feeling generous during this time I went ahead and texted my landlord and asked him about month to month leases. Prior to this, based on conversations we've had, it was assumed that he was against it. But today he just sent me a text saying "for you, yes of course month to month is an option".

Obviously, now is not a good time to move but my lease is up in January and I don't want to be stuck in another lease when I really want to move so month to month is ideal. I can't stand my neighbors! I was cranky today because it's been another sleepless night with these jerks in this building but now I'm in such a good mood!
