Yeah, I never knew cilantro was that polarizing!
People like that make me feel like quitting.
Seriously.
But Spark People is gone so I have nowhere else to go for support.1 -
I went to my city's Puerto Rican festival. There was no Puerto Rican food, only food trucks that had no relation.3

Where you are supposed to go visit the nieces and nephews for a bday party and the family members that said hey "Joey we will pick you" end up forgetting you and now you're sitting home eating the 54 KitKats you bought for the kids
This made me laugh, I would totally be the frazzled mom who forgot you! My sympathies! Hope the kit Kats were good 😁2 -

OMG I've been striving to reach my goal of 1K disagrees. I just checked and I'm at 1.5K disagrees. How'd I miss such a hallmark event in my life?? No confetti falling out of the sky? No parade? No crown? No trophy? Not even a back pat/hand hand shake saying 'job well done you'?
I am irked.
Oh well, only 500 more to go for my next awesome goal. 4 -

Remember these faces. You're liable to see them in an ICU at some point, crying out to everyone that they made a big mistake, please don't be like me and get the vaccine.
It's weird to me that people are still sending their children to schools that pigeonhole their children, have to watch and teach numbers of students every day, molding them all into the same end result(ok, to a large point anyways) yet tell others to let them raise their own children. I don't know if they're all home schooling, maybe they are. But don't they think teachers are helping them raise their children?? Child care providers are also partners in that. They and their children have other laws/regulations they have to adhere to. I just don't understand......especially when people are talking about the health of children.
What is this kind of thinking teaching their children? Don't listen to science? Doctors don't know what they're doing? Most of the people are clearly wrong and fear mongers? Willing sheep following the crowd? Trust no one except Jesus? While we're here on this earth we need to trust someone. I'll choose to trust the majority. To trust the educated. For the most part. We still need to be smart about it.
But there is so much irony and hypocrisy out there. People say things yet live their lives differently than how they speak.
No disagree from me, sorry but I do.

^ bolded. I’m experiencing this first hand after recently going to a backyard party. This girl was walking around knowingly sick. The next day she told us she tested positive and to go get tested. My friend group and her friend group were together from noon till the next morning. She ended up on a ventilator, all her friend who aren’t vaccinated ended up positive, now saying they are getting the shot ASAP. Because it’s real now.
Everyone that was vaxxed tested negative. The shot came through for us I’m still in shock because I still had doubts about it and we were in close proximity with people who had it.9 -

Yeah, like..I"m not going for full on medical paternalism... I am for the notion that people should be empowered in managing their health... but these people have beliefs that are actually dangerous. They are driven by emotions not facts, and unfortunately they can use this to appeal to others further propagating dangerous advice. I believe in free speech but the sheer amount of misinformation out there is threat to public health. When they do get sick, they come crawling back to evidence based medicine to save them. Strange times indeed.10 -
It struck this house. I did not worry about my 14 year-old. Quarantined, and we all survived it just fine. It also struck my 69 year-old dad. Now that was when worry hit, as he's over a thousand miles away and elderly, but he survived it. I also know several other people and I have yet to meet someone who was hospitalized. The news shows worse case scenario. If I said it was a little worse than a cold, I'm sure I'd hear about it. So I'll refrain...7

Exactly.
Everyone is mad at this girl for knowingly walking around with it rather than staying home but at the same time when we go out we know what we’re getting ourselves into, not everyone is honest and there’s a pandemic going on. We did what we felt was right for us and got the vaccine so that we can go out. It sucks what she did but that’s what happens when you have to share the world with other ppl unfortunately.
Not gonna lie, when I hear the debates on both sides, I became skeptical starting to believe the vaccine was a waste of time. When you hear something long enough you start to believe it obviously I believed the science more and got it but I wasn’t going to get the booster- definitely getting it now if need be. 😂
Freakin thing keeps mutating.

Truth is both my dh and I had it as well, with little more than a cold. A family of 3 that I know had it, the mom and 2 yo did okay, the dad was terribly ill for quite awhile though he didn't require hospitalization. Another family I know; it was weird because they all lived together, all 4 were having pretty much the same symptoms but 1 person got very sick with it. But the weird thing about it was that only 2 of the family members ever tested positive, even though the other members took repeat tests and they kept coming back negative.
I get a flu shot every year to decrease my chances of getting severely sick with the flu. I will do the same with the Covid virus when boosters are a normal thing.
Just curious @LovelyChar....I know you're a teacher, how is your school district handling the start of school this year?2 -

Just curious @LovelyChar....I know you're a teacher, how is your school district handling the start of school this year?
I am a teacher, but I haven't worked since the birth of my little boy three years ago. The district I did work for is not the district I live in and because of that, I don't know how they're dealing with it. My daughter had it less than a month ago and has all the antibodies, but I do make her wear a mask to school. I'm over it.
I don't care if someone doesn't wear a mask and I also don't care if they're not vaccinated. Not my business. People will die but the flu, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and a variety of other diseases will also kill people, and frankly, I am so much more concerned about any of those than I am of this. So many of the people who become hospitalized or die from this have comoribity issues... asthma, emphysema, obesity, heart disease, and the list goes on...
I do wear a mask in public out of respect for others. But like I said, I personally didn't live in fear before and now I have no concern whatsoever about it because it's really nothing to worry about. The media is a liar because they're not telling the whole story, just giving you the pieces they want you to hear or see, and people are ignorant so they're quick to buy into whatever they're being fed.
I respect whatever any parent would decide is right for his/her child and I am not concerned at all about my children being around anyone who is unvaccinated or unmasked.
So from a teacher's perspective, I have nothing to offer on this particular topic. But as a parent, I have no concerns over it.7 -

It’s nice for you that you are “not concerned”
For my family? With my medically fragile husband who hasn’t seen his friends in over a year?
I sure do wish more people would be concerned about others.

Well he could always Skype with them or have a get together that is ten to twenty feet apart in distance. We all managed from home for a very long time. Hopefully his friends and family could find a way to make some time for him.5 -

Medically fragile.
Skype doesn’t work for band practice.
Or for the monthly gathering of people with dementia and their caregivers.
Or a bunch of other things.

So from a teacher's perspective, I have nothing to offer on this particular topic. But as a parent, I have no concerns over it.
It’s nice for you that you are “not concerned”
For my family? With my medically fragile husband who hasn’t seen his friends in over a year?
I sure do wish more people would be concerned about others.
Well he could always Skype with them or have a get together that is ten to twenty feet apart in distance. We all managed from home for a very long time. Hopefully his friends and family could find a way to make some time for him.
Medically fragile.
Skype doesn’t work for band practice.
Or for the monthly gathering of people with dementia and their caregivers.
Or a bunch of other things.
I disagree. Tell that to all the kids who have been doing online school for the past year that band practice doesn't work via Skype. YouTube offers great tutorials, by the way.
And if he has dementia, then he may not even remember if his caregiver was with him or not. But caregiving services did not stop due to Covid. So if his caregiver stopped coming, it was his/her personal choice. I could drop a client with a two-week notice and for any reason when I was a caregiver.
People have gone without for years. I'm more sympathetic for our military members or other people who have no choice or other alternatives. I hadn't seen my extended family in two years before this summer. It can be a big boohoo sob story or you can find a way that isn't in person.
Someone should help your husband. Caregiver wise, you could reach out and find another via an agency. Band practice does work via Skype. My daughter's best friend went to online school and only participated in band practice via Skype. People do most things they did before this via Skype or FaceTime. Maybe you could contact an agency for help or have a knowledgeable neighbor that could show your husband the ropes and you could write down the steps for him to reference at a later time.
Adding that I see you wrote that Skype doesn't work for "the monthly gathering of people with dementia and their caregivers." Yes, yes it certainly does work via Skype and if it was just once a month to begin with, it definitely should not be a problem to co-ordinate that via Skype.8
