My team wants to do something for the holidays in lieu of an in person event due to covid. Any ideas? There are about 20 of us so zoom calls can get a little crowded

This may be a horrible idea lol but what if you sent out like a small list of ingredients for a holiday drink or dessert and then have someone host a cooking class while you all follow along?

We did a trivia night with an outside party. It was a lot of fun and pretty cheap, you can pick what type of trivia you want to do and have prizes if you choose. We used JRock Trivia.

Thank you everyone! These are all awesome

Has anyone else had a really hard time online dating with Covid? I’m aware things are getting better but I prefer to do outdoor first dates to be on the safe side. No judgement to anyone that does differently. It’s just what I feel comfortable with. I’ve had a few guys tell me they won’t do outdoor dates for some reason… some have cited weather but others legit say no (in 70 weather) because it’s a hassle & “Covid is a joke.” Please tell me if this is normal.

2. My boyfriend and I often just go off cam / mute during the more useless meetings and have sex instead. I secretly hope everyone who is muted/cam off in meetings is getting some action.
