I have a number of family members working in healthcare, as well as family and others I love who are under 12, and/or immunocompromised and CAN'T get the vax yet so are reliant on all of us to suck it up, get the vax, mask up, etc.
So it irks me. Yes, it irks me a whole helluva lot.
Have you joined in the debate on masked vs. unmasked? I can't remember if I've seen you there.2 -

Jess, I love this. My new mantra. If I can remember it for more than 30 seconds.

Argh. Sorting through the billions of kinds of dog food available is hard enough but why does a site lead people on providing the "13 best grain-free dog foods" out there, and the 1st 3 they list have brown rice. Correct me if I'm all of a sudden stupider than usual but isn't brown rice still considered a grain???
Why does feeding your dogs have to be so daMn complicated. I feel like I need a chemistry degree.The vet's not much help. The farm store isn't any help. And now the internet, who never ever leads anyone astray(saying heavy on the sarcasm), isn't much help.

@lx1x Thank you for the link. On that site I read this article and find it just as confusing because some of what it says goes against my vet and also the place I buy dog food. What I need is a veterinarian nutritionist.
https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-news/fda-investigating-potential-link-between-diet-and-heart-disease-in-dogs/
Problem is one of my dogs is very allergic to environmental allergens plus apparently is allergic to corn, rice and cow's milk(according to test results). On her allowable list is TOTW grain-free which I've been giving both my dogs for years. Trouble is it's 3rd on the list of dog foods that is possibly related to heart issues. Now my vet is on me to change to some grain food, which all seem to have rice or corn gluten. My vet also said the food allergy tests are not that reliable. Huh.
Anyways, I will read more on that site and see if I can come up with something that makes sense and doesn't cause her to scratch 24/7.
Thanks again.

Not gonna hit disagree on your post. But I do disagree with your post. Everyone has a right to decide for themselves what they do with and to their own bodies. I took the vaccine, because I believe in it, and in modern medicine. I also believe that we have a right to each decide for ourselves what we want to do, and not to be judged for our decision. If the vaccine works, and you took it, you are safe. If it does not work and you are at risk, it does not matter what your neighbor does.
My opinion...does not mean I am right, but what I believe.
For all y'all who are fixin to disagree with my post, I love y'all anyway.
Hi there. I'm very glad to hear you got the COVID vax, but am sorry to hear your thoughts on the proven efficacy of the vaccine. It's not a matter of "if the vaccine works". It works. The science proves that. You simply cannot argue against facts. In the case of infectious diseases like COVID, it very much does matter what your neighbor does - as we have learned the extremely hard way over the course of the past year and a half. I can't fathom how one cannot see that by now.
No arguing with you regarding the efficacy. Fact of the matter is, if it works, you are protected. If people who choose not to get the vaccine and get sick, that is on them and not on you. If they pass it on to someone else, shame on that person receiving for not getting the vaccine, but again, nothing to do with you.
Everyone needs to do what is right for themselves, and quit worrying about what other people do. I get the flu shot....my neighbor does not. If he gets the flu, that's on him. Same with any other vaccine. Same with covid.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes IMHO. You and I got the vaccine. Good for us. (If it works, we are safe). If our neighbor chooses to refuse the shot because of their own beliefs, and they get Covid, that should not affect us at all.
I realize that there is plenty of published data showing the vaccine works. That being said, I personally know of a dozen or more people right now, not heresay, but people that I know, that have had the vaccine and currently have Covid. (or at least have tested positive for it with some symptoms that could be anything.) I also know a guy who had 5 independent Covid tests on the same day, 3 being positive and 2 being negative, so I really do not know what the truth is or what to believe.
My point over the whole thing is we should all do what is right for us and quit telling people that we know better than them what is right for them.
For those of y'all that are fixin' to disagree this post, I love y'all anyway!
what seems to be flying over yours and others heads is that with a public health crisis, it actually does in fact matter what others are doing, not just yourself. that is readily apparent right now. yes there are breakthrough cases from those who have received the vaccine, but as you admitted those cases tend to be mild or asymptomatic, PLUS a small fraction of total cases. the VAST majority are unvaccinated, and our hospitals are reaching capacity again due to the UNvaccinated.
I'm so frustrated with the lack of care outside of one's own self.
Nothing personal, but we must agree to disagree. I am speaking on behalf of myself, an American citizen. I know this post will probably be taken down and I risk a warning by saying this, but it is relevant. In this country we have freedom. Women have the freedom to terminate the life of their unborn child. There are more innocent children's lives terminated in the US in a year than there were "Covid Deaths" in 2020. (And everyone knows that the total number of reported Covid deaths is elevated.) If this country says we have the freedom to do one, we MUST have freedom to do the other. You can't tell me it is ok to have an abortion, but that I must take a shot to protect others from a virus that has a 99% survival rate. If we are going to take a stand to protect life, we MUST protect all life. It will be said that this argument is apples to oranges, but it is not. If Covid is a "public health crisis" because of the number of lives lost, then so is the other. If we have freedom to do one, we must have freedom to do the other. My body, my choice has to apply to all areas, not just those that fit the narrative of one group or other. Freedom covers us all, equally.
Or at least it is supposed to.
Again, nothing personal and no emotion here...just my opinion.
For those of y'all that are fixin' to disagree this post, I love y'all anyway.

You’re 100% right. There’s this HUUUUGE “pack or no pack” debate I’ve been trying to avoid. I’ve never considered one. But I may have to now.
I still have the original heavy duty fanny pack I bought thirty years ago. And yes, it’s black. Of course. I forget which company, but it’s some big name outdoor sports place. Like Patagonia. But I don’t think it is Patagonia.
I pulled the tag off years ago.
Anyhow, that thing takes a beating and just keeps going. Now that I have a balance disorder it’s much better than anything else, because it doesn’t swing when I walk.2 -

I am in NY. I am vaccinated. I am in and around what was once the worst place in the country for Covid. But now, it is absolutely false to say the hospitals are reaching capacity again. There are actually some very large hospitals just 10 miles out of NYC that have 0 covid patients. The major hospitals are treating more violent crime victims 10 to 1 over Covid. I promise you, we have a much bigger threat than Covid right now in our cities.7 -
