@chiweethedog When I was a kid in New England our husky would beg to go out when he smelled coming snow. He would pick a spot in the yard and and at dawn all you could see was a lump under a couple of feet of snow. He'd come in for meals and that's all.
@Limeylizzie Yeah, cuz why would someone mind bleeding through one of their few remaining changes of clothes with no way to do laundry? It's like they don't believe in dignity for women. [Huge side eye]
@heymrsbond Everyone makes their own choices and I'm fine with that. I wouldn't do that only because I don't want public clothes or shoes (bedroom slippers) in my bed. 63 years old yesterday!
@NYPoliticalMom Wear the dress. If anyone asks you about the bruise, just say you were rescuing kittens from a burning building after JD Vance left them there. But I'm in my early 60s and am always whacking my legs on things in the yard and at work and just don't care anymore lol.
@NYPoliticalMom Yes! And not only has no one tried to take mine, three years ago I had a gas line extended in my kitchen so that I could get a gas stove and get rid of my crappy electric stove. Amazingly, no one tried to prevent me from adding another gas appliance!
@NYPoliticalMom Sending you hugs from a stranger. My mom's 3 year anniversary was two weeks ago and it still feels like yesterday. I'm not sure it ever really heals.
@Lori39858180@JaneotN I'm 62 and an elementary school teacher. I'm with you in the chaos that is part of our daily experience, but love doesn't age you like hate does.
@NYPoliticalMom I live in Texas (thankfully Austin). I fully expect Abbott's obscenity to continue - and the children who survived because they were shielded by women's bodies be deported.
@baseball4928@FixingEducation We do not get paid in the summer. We are on a 10 month contract and the months that school is not in session is unpaid time.
@nathaliejacoby1 Yes, me. I have all the vaccinations. I have super high exposure (elementary school special education) and test a lot because I'm working with vulnerable kids. Don't know how I've escaped!
@Limeylizzie Did you get the moderna booster that's a half dose? I'm interested in trying that one,. My second shot knocked me for a loop: 103 fever, body aches, intense headache - my hair even hurt. I was happy for the robust immune response but at 106 pounds the lower dose might be fine.
