You really should buy a bedbug proof mattress cover and interceptors for the legs of your bed and furniture. Trust me when I say that an ounce of prevention will save you a lot of trouble, cost, and emotional trauma. Even if it costs more, buy then anyway.

During the more deadly early days of COVID around Delta or so, my hospital ICU nurses were interviewed about COVID patients and ECMO and whatall on the news, and talked about how many people begged to be vaccinated once they were about to be intubated. Nothing will convince them until it kills them.

Weaponized disinformation really.
What concerns me is that some people will say “oh we vaccinate, like not for flu or COVID or anything like that, but real vaccines”. Um, how many people have to die?

Romana still has supporters. I don’t think we quite have MAGA, but unmoderated social media affects us all.

I know a nurse who was working in peds during a smaller measles outbreak last year in Ontario where that child died. She said to me that the children she worked with were all unvaccinated, they were the sickest people she’s ever worked with in her career, and that the parents were universally obnoxious and resistant.
The other thing is that if any unvaccinated child who simply isn’t old enough for the vaccine, meaning babies, is exposed to measles, even if they are asymptomatic they still have to be treated. She told me they had to treat 30 babies from that outbreak in our city alone.

If you got vaccinated from 1970 or earlier, get a booster. If later than that, get your titer level checked. The immunity is good but not everyone becomes immune.

Yes I got a titer too and am waiting for results. These ignorant asses aren’t going to kill me with their nonsense. I also just got the shingles vaccine, my tenth COVID shot, and next pneumococcal and RSV vaccines. I’m sorry weaponized disinformation on unmoderated social media has led them to this but also they can fuck off all the way to fuckoffville and then fuck off some more.
I’m 50 and I will do literally anything to not climb any stairs. My knee just doesn’t wanna.

I am so sorry. I am in the final days of my dog’s life as well, trying desperately to convince my ex to euthanize him with love and dignity rather than getting to an emergency decision, and it’s awful. He’s SO ready to go and yet it’s killing me.
Until the dementia and tracheal stenosis set in he was hilarious. People criticize you online for having pugs, but he was a stray, and he made me laugh all the time. He literally dug potatoes we were growing out of the pot and ate them raw, shit himself inside out for days and was delighted that he had figured out where we were hiding the secret foods. I would take him to the dog park and he’d hang out the window and scream in joy the whole way there and back.
Here’s a video of him singing me the song of his people for you, OP, I’m so sorry.

Threw out my back just sitting in my chair and shifting slightly, couldn’t bend over for days.

The movie about Motley Crue, “The Dirt”, which was interesting although I don’t think began to scrape the surface of their depravity, and the third season of Somebody, Somewhere, which really is a wonderful show. Every episode has been a gem. I forgot how much I love Motley Crue as horrifying as they are historically, I’m glad they got out and got sober and left us with glorious hair metal at its peak.
Television set.

Judge’s decision here.
Apparently one of the reasons for the sentence was that he was suffering from PTSD at the time, and other officers in similar cases were given the same sentence. So guys, if you want to send people who you are in a position of power over dick pics, just make sure to say it was because of PTSD because I’m sure that judgement would totally be the same for civilians right? .
In all seriousness I read a lot of judicial decisions in Canada and I find most of them measured and according to the law. I think the law needs to reflect harsher punishments for some crimes, like sexual assault/child molestation/rape/CSAM possession, etc. It’s honestly shocking to read some of the crimes against children, and their perpetrators are never named so as to protect the child’s privacy, but one guy was raping his 14 year old stepdaughter with a condom on every time for years, and because of the law could only get 8 years. The judge’s hands are tied in this regard.
But somehow cops always get off.

I hate giving up my seat on the bus. So I will pretend not to notice someone standing there until I absolutely have to, and then feign ignorance. Fuck off, I wanna sit down.
Because of Nick Cave.

My aunt who is just as fair has had many skin cancers removed, and her dermatologist says she has the thinnest skin in the world. It’s not something to fool around with.
There’s coyotes there.
