    Covid is not lethai to the overwhelming majority of the people on this earth. Its not even noticed by more than half even if they contract it, and even if they do, it just goes away in a couple of weeks.

    So i guess that means its stupid to wear a mask, right? No. Because there are still a small amount of people this virus can kill should they contract it. I am not the least bit concerned about contracting it. I am concerned about spreading it. I dont want to be the reason anyone gets sick or even worse, dies. If wearing a mask in a public establishment does even a tiny bit to help with that, im okay with it. I dont give a *kitten* about politics and what it does and doesnt mean to wear a mask,. If it gets proven down the road that masks accomplished nothing in slowing the spread, i wont feel foolish, because i know i made an effort even if it was futile.

    I look at it this like this. What if wearing a mask stopped people from getting cancer? Would you wear it? What if you could have saved even one life out of millions from an agonozing death, would you do it? Or would you complain that it infringes on your rights and is uncomfortable to wear it. Ok, i served this country for your right to freely complain about *kitten* you dont like. But when your country asks you to do something, you better not be the same ones bitching about kneeling for the anthem, as well as bitching about wearing masks......that would make you a hypocrite. Your country needs you to protect the weak, so you dont get to complain about " non patriots" while being one yourself.

    well said T. thank you... <3

    See? Simple logic. Why is this so difficult for people to understand?

    What’s to “disagree” with here?

    Does wearing a mask in public harm you even a little? NOPE.
    Does wearing a mask in public potentially (even a little) keep others from harm? YUP.
    Or are you petty and disagree with all my comments and selfies because you don’t like me? MOST LIKELY.

    Either way, just wear the mask, loser.

    all the this, K - thanks my friend! <3

    What gives me a pinch. When someone says 'my kiddos' and they're not your kids. Regardless if you're babysitting or teaching them, they are not your kids. Maintain your boundaries and respect their parents. They are not your kids, kiddos, littles and never will be. Blurred boundaries cause problems.

    I dont agree with this. I have not said this ever in a way to claim children that are not "mine". However, in my position im with them a huge portion of their days, put in a lot of love and time, and really deeply care about their well being and successes. When I speak about them its out of pride over their struggles and triumphs, its out of frustration and love, its out of all the blood sweat and tears we put in together as a team...and sometimes im their only "parental" figure...so if they accidentally call me mom or I out of love I call them my kids ....its because that love and bonding was built...just like in any other kind of "family" support system. So how that is offensive or hurtful? Im not understanding

    Generally speaking, I'm coming from a long line of teachers and school superintendents...they are not your kids. We simply haven't got the time to address it. Blurred boundaries cause problems. It diminishes respect and that road runs both directions.

    Id love to understand in what ways. Just using term kids does not mean I'm showing up to carpool them to games or going to dinners. Words do not equal actions. What blurred boundaries? And deminishes respect???

    @Plenty of Protein. I didn't read your initial post. I was simply agreeing with another member here above me about littles and kiddos.

    Furriekiddos is the preferred term.

    Some days I want to rant about life in general. :( When there is absolutely nothing that can be done to change the course of events happening in a loved one's life and life is taking both of them further down. :( Plus it's going to be more of the same over the next few months.

    Trying to get 150 grams of protein in...im up to 120...i will literally be eating meat all day long😑


    ***Not really a rant...not long winded...maybe this should've gone in what irks me but im mfp lazy

    Fage 5% greek yoghurt mixed with protein powder is one of my go tos for boosting protein

    I drink a protein drink and don't want to over use it for a source of protein...ill need probably more meat to get 30 more grams in

    i eat a lot of lentils, chickpeas and beans. yeah i know some people find them meh. but it's all about how they're prepared. they're VERY high in protein, great fibre wise and are inexpensive super filling. :) i don't eat meat because it upsets my stomach and the last time i had a steak at a resto *pre covid* - i got the worst food poisoning i'd never wish on my worse enemy!

    perhaps something to consider?

    You know..
    I kinda like wearing mask 🤷🏽‍♂️... I think they are pretty cool and fun, like everywhere you go is a mascarade party or something 🤷🏽‍♂️...

    Like some days I get to pretend I'm a bank robber, or like a ninja, or secret crime fighter 🤷🏽‍♂️... 😂

    This made me giggle 🙊

    but this is the truth for me! i wear sunglasses all the time anyway *long story* so wearing a mask makes me feel incognito and less self conscious somehow.

    I been casually mask shopping today (thanks Google ads!), found a glittery one and a sugar skull one that I really like...if you gotta wear one, may as well have fun?

    I took my co-worker's white mask and wrote "Sex Hole" across the front of it in black sharpie marker.

    He may, or may not, have found it entertaining.
