Have you ever used PB Fit (the peanut butter powder)? I’ve noticed when I don’t mix enough water into the powder, it has the exact Reese’s consistency.
I had no idea it was so common until I had a miscarriage last year and then found out that like half of the women I know have had them too. I think women just don’t like to talk about it because it’s so painful to relive.
You’re a much better person than I. I’ve had it with the few remaining masked people I see out and about. I now consciously smile and talk to only other unmasked people (unless the masked person is working, obviously.) Their compliance has propelled us further into this mess and it’s time they start feeling disenfranchised and lonely.
You are totally correct about the salt! I used to get really low blood pressure and my dr told me to eat more salt and she would run more tests if that didn’t fix it— it totally fixed it. Now I do intermittent fasting and drink tons of salty water during my fasting period and haven’t suffered low blood pressure in a long time.
Something fun that I swear to do but haven’t yet (if there’s somewhere I know will make me wear a mask but for whatever reason I don’t want to make a scene, like taking my kid to the library) is to bring my paint respirator and wear that. Then when people inevitably comment on it I’ll tell them that they aren’t being careful enough with their paper masks that can’t block aerosols.
Husband works in pharma (on drug launches) and obviously understands how approvals work. He said that there have been a handful of instances of approval of “bio-similar” drugs— which basically just means that the original drug has been used for so long and is so safe that the FDA will approve a drug that is essentially the same because additional studies probably wouldn’t add any valuable information (think something like NSAIDS, they all work exactly the same way and carry the same risks). He said that this approval looks like they are trying to pull off something representing a bio-similar approval in a manner that is obviously blatantly against their own rules. Basically it’s complete bullshit. Oh and apparently those 2 FDA vaccine people who quit is actually a really big deal and notification is going around to pharma people. Idk if that means anything but I found it interesting.
It’s also possible to have lost the baby weeks before actually finding out and/or going through the miscarriage process— it’s called a missed miscarriage. I had a miscarriage about 6 months ago that occurred at 6 weeks, but I didn’t find out until I was what would have been 9 weeks and I didn’t go through the actual miscarriage process until what would have been 12 weeks.
I never social distanced, never locked down, though I did wear a mask occasionally. I also started working out, have gotten in really great shape, started eating very healthy and taking vitamins consistently. I, too, have literally never been healthier. I used to get strep and sinus infections multiple times a year, but haven’t had either once. Ive gotten a few colds that lasted 5 days tops, and have not had a single fever. Same for the rest of my family, except my toddler who does gross stuff constantly and gets sick with a fever for literally a day or less.
Ok so I love in PA. I went to what I was certain was my polling place- the mayor even left prerecorded voicemails telling us where our polling locations were. I get there and they tell me my name isn’t on the list for that precinct (I’m a registered Republicans so I assume they could see that.) they tell me to go to a different polling place a block away. I get there and everyone working there is clearly a Democrat, and there are people dressed in Biden attire set up at a table right at the entrance directing the line. I get in and stand in the line labeled for the side of this busy street that my house is on. Then a poll worker comes up and asks for my name, looks me up, and says I’m in the wrong line. I’m like ok whatever and go to the other line, then after they check me off the list, they herd me over to this one specific machine that’s eerily vacant (I thought it was broken because no one was being brought to that one.) After I fill out my ballot, a poll worker takes it, looks at it, and scans it into the machine and then puts it in the smaller of 2 piles. I seriously think they adjudicated my ballot to go to Biden.
I wonder if it’s somehow activating recessive genes. That might explain why some people are totally fine and others are developing clotting disorders and stuff
I grew up on the peninsula- it was the most beautiful place in the world. It’s heartbreaking to see what’s happened in the last 10 years.
I’m so sick of the assertion that pricing people out of neighborhoods is discriminatory (and, of course, racist.) There are plenty of places I can’t afford to live and I certainly don’t feel my socioeconomic class is being discriminated against by the basic concept of supply and demand. It’s plenty easy to find a house you can afford. Of course, section 8 is a whole different problem and it’s ludicrous that anyone taking government housing (essentially stealing housing potential from others who have to subsidize their living) feel they have any right to complain or make demands. Crime and quality of life in section 8 housing isn’t due to the area or the housing itself, it’s that no one will ever actually appreciate or care for anything they had handed to them. If you buy a house, and have 30 yrs of potential earning tied up in that house, you do everything you can to take care of the house and keep your neighborhood safe.
Prayers for you and your daughter!
A few yrs ago (at 21) I had a severe stroke, needed brain surgery, and CAT scans at the time showed that almost all of my left cerebellum had died. Drs thought I would have irreversible brain damage and never walk or talk again. I spent a month in rehab and learned how to walk again. A few months after the stroke, I had a CAT scan that showed most of my cerebellum had healed and my Dr said there was literally no explanation but a miracle and he’d never seen this before. A couple months after that, I went to graduate school and successfully completed my masters.
Stay strong and support her through any physical therapy she may need. Miracles do happen!
I was talking to my SIL yesterday, who’s a HUGE leftie, and she told me she’s not happy with Biden and that he ran on a false bill of goods. She agreed that he’s definitely not the one in charge of his administration because it’s clear to her that he’s not physically or mentally capable and it’s really sad what they’re doing to him. She also he just came out of nowhere during the primaries and is finally willing to concede that there was likely some fraud involved in the primaries. My mind was blown, I’m so happy she’s waking up!!!
Maybe the vaccine is a way to push socialized healthcare. The dems can make everyone (or as many people as possible) get the vaccine then reverse the preexisting condition coverage requirement for insurance companies, and then silently look the other way as insurance companies classify potential complications from experimental treatments as preexisting conditions. Everyone who got the jab would become uninsurable and socialized medicine would go through with no problem.
I don’t fault older people who decide to get the vaccine— my super conservative parents are in their 60s and my mom is considering getting it so she can come visit my kid and be allowed back into commie-fornia. But maybe young people who are just scared of everything shouldn’t reproduce; they always end up with the weirdest kids anyway.
Your mom sounds awesome! I must admit that the hair salon is the one place I actually don’t mind wearing a mask because then I don’t have to smell bleach fumes for 3 hours while they highlight my hair.
I made all of my son’s food when he was a baby by buying produce in bulk at Costco, steaming it, running it through the blender, then freezing it in those tiny mason jars. It was sooo easy and saved me tons of money.
My husband works for a huge (obviously lib) company. They’re constantly pushing racial sensitivity crap- along with the other usual lgbt, pronouns in email signatures bs. Well apparently they started sending out emails about “anti-Asian” sentiments growing in the country. It’s veryyy curious how this narrative seems to have been coordinated well before any of the alleged crimes illustrating this happened...
I had a stroke a few years ago. They can happen very suddenly (mine was an acute ischemic stroke— where a clot breaks off from another part of the body and makes its way to the brain), but that kind of stroke is extremely rare in younger people and requires a pre-existing condition that could originate the blood clot, then a channel through which the clot gets to the brain (like a congenital heart defect.) I find the stroke story extremely unlikely because he would have had a well-documented chronic medical condition, and he’s young enough that he would been given brain surgery.
But maybe framing our movement in terms they already agree with is actually helpful? I don’t care why someone wants to take down Wall Street, I just care that they’re trying to do it. At this point it seems like a crapshoot whether this ends in support of government restrictions or outrage at the politicians protecting the elites. We know government restrictions will never work because politicians are the elite, but most liberals haven’t realized this yet. We can’t all fight against the elites if we can’t agree on who they are.
Its likely never been the left and right the swamp needed divided— it was Bernie Bros and Patriots. Under the political rhetoric, our beliefs are too similar and threatening (so threatening they needed to rig elections against both Bernie and Trump). The swampy media has convinced us that we have different endgames, when in reality we have most of the same end goals, just different opinions on how we get there. This has finally gotten us talking to one another and realizing we’re unstoppable if we just focus on the same end.
Is it a parking garage?
I’m jealous! I just got into Glocks and am building up my collection haha. So far I only have a 42 and 19x
It blows my mind that anyone “needs” a warning to not leave their kid in the car. The instant I park my car, my kid just starts yelling, “Out! Out! Out!”
