Name and rank three things you miss the most
 
1. Fitness Center
2. Swimming
3. The company of my nephew, niece, and their kids living nearby.

The first two only outrank the third because they were daily occurrences.

1) Eating out in a restaurant
2) MVP Gym at Brownwood
3) Listening to music at the squares (Hooligans)

Work without getting temp taken
No more taking 15 minutes to just get on PPEs
Watch a spouse kiss before surgery

I know it’s not about TV, but it’s want I miss the most. Everything else is just not as important

what do I miss the most during this lockdown....

- being able to attend church services and church social events
- being able to attend concerts and shows in TV and in the various surrounding communities
- being able to plan and go on trips to explore this big beautiful world and knock off things on our bucket list

sallybowron 04-16-2020 06:38 AM

Toilet Paper!

NotGolfer 04-16-2020 07:03 AM

Gathering with friends (church and it's events)
Eating out, going out for coffee
Not fearing doing any of the above plus being able to travel, shop and move around the community.

Listing only 3 things isn't enough for what I miss.

Taking and putting the present situation in perspective. " Nothing " . :coolsmiley:

speedo8357 04-16-2020 07:45 AM

Pickleball
Chatting with neighbors when dog walking — just plain socializing
Going to Sunday Mass (can’t believe I said that — but streaming isn’t the same).

Has been particularly frustrating for me. I moved here on March 30th! Yes — I know — perfect timing. But at least despite various close downs, everything went off without a hitch.
