I hate the “I’m a realist” as that implies we know more than we do. When it comes to half full or half empty it’s not about what we “know”. It’s about what we choose to focus on. The person who sees the glass as half full isn’t in denial of the negative that exists. They simply to choose to find the positive. And also to choose hope for the best over fear of the worst

Oh she absolutely is

We should know better than to judge an entire profession on such a limited sample size😉

Really now? And you base that on what exactly? How many ballerinas do you actually know personally?

One word: typos.

And please don’t say folks should carefully review and make sure to edit for each and every error before posting. This is just a casual Internet forum. Chill.

I’m 62. Unvaxxed. Haven’t had any vax since I was a kid. And I can’t tell you the last time I was sick (btw I am out and about and travel internationally a lot since my daughter lives in Europe). Same for my husband. And my kids. And even my 95 yo mom

This is wonderful news to me as my daughter is a ballet dancer with Slovakia’s National Ballet Company

Oh my goodness. She’s young. I have 4 children, 3 of whom are boys 18, 21, and 22. None of them have had a girlfriend yet. And yes, believe it or not they are perfectly normal, attractive, smart, young men. They just aren’t interested in complicateing their lives with a relationship right now (they watched their older sister and said no thanks lol) and aren’t into the idea of casual hook ups. Please tell your friend to slow it down. It is far from over

Agree with how you started out but you lost me at women need to give birth in their 20s. Life is long nowadays. We aren’t slipping down the other side in our 40s and 50s. There is much to see, much to know, much to do. And raising a family is not for those who are still trying to figure o themselves out, who they are, what they want, what the world has to offer, and how they fit into it. For most of the folks I know, 20s was about education, personal growth, learning and practicing the fine art of being a responsible adult. We all got married in our early 30s and had kids soon after, mid-30s, and beyond. I actually had four kids between 38 and 44 which allowed me to have a full career and the family (gave up that career to stay at home). Absolutely no regrets. I feel like I had the best of both worlds. Trying to do it the other way around would not have yielded the same results

Where exactly did that happen? That is not in their job description.Even the police who are there to catch smugglers don’t do that. If it involves bodily cavities they take them to a hospital, they don’t do it at the airport

Plenty of folks still fly. Airports are busy as ever and planes full. I fly all the time

But then you have to consider the yearly property taxes, the cost of maintenance and just general upkeep, the cost of improvements people make to the home and land, the increased cost in utilities and furnishings and such, and then the realtor’s commission when you sell it. It “can” be a great investment but for a large percentage of folks it’s really just a major money suck.

We paid X for our home in 2005. We sold it for the same in 2020. But the almost 200k in property taxes spent over that time, the 40k in realto’s commission when we sold, the 100k in maintenance and improvements, etc? Gone like the wind.

There are plenty of great places to go. The “there’s no place to go it sucks everywhere “ is keeping a lot of folks stuck in very bad situations. Think out of the box. No matter how “difficult “ it may seem. We moved from Massachusetts to SC in 2021. It’s been glorious. We know folks who moved to Florida. They couldn’t be happier. Be careful not to become your own worst enemy by giving up.

Best wishes

I have a child with a “defect” that many abort for. We were even given that option. Would you like to ask him if his life is worthwhile? This 20 young man who lives a completely normal life despite only having half a heart?

“Well, then his condition isn’t what I’m talking about”, you say? Well, how were we to know that he would do so well? He could have been one of the unlucky ones. Should we have aborted just in case? And if so, could “just in case” be applied across the board? What about babies to be born to the very very poor? The babies born to drug addicts? The babies born to those with illness/disease that may impact the child? Where does it stop?

And who defines quality of life? Again, how about you ask those with what you perceive to be a reduced quality of life if they would rather have never been born? I think you might be surprised by the answers you get

Where did he say anything about “banning”?

You can discuss your opinion about something without getting your knickers in a twist about it and wanting it “banned”

Have you tried flavored water? Or flavored carbonated water? The ones with no calories/no sugar added? I can drink almost a gallon of water a day now that I’ve not relied solely on regular water.

I have been to the doctors with my family countless times since this thing started, even for hospital admissions, and no one ever asked for their vaccine status🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you for clarifying. Is this a personal policy, a policy provided through work, or is this something provided by the government? Obviously I don’t know how life insurance works in any country but the US
