100% agree.  Given the nature of my job, I don’t get to work from home.  I at least have my own office, where I can take my mask off.  But some of my coworkers, are stuck in a hot factory, and have to wear a face mask for 10 hours.  They suffer through it, and I don’t get why others can’t do it for the 30 minutes…

On the one hand, I’m not keen on the government requirements for vaccination of non-Federal employees. But on the other hand, I know vaccination is the only way out of this mess. We can’t social distance and mask up forever. The Delta variant definitely changed a lot of things. But I blame toxic misinformation and…

Yup.  I started crocheting a blanket at the start of the pandemic.  It’s still not done, as I need to rip it out, and start over.  Still...to think this shit has been going on for almost 2 years, is frustrating.  The vaccines did show great promise.  I had great hopes for a better summer and fall, but not so much…

Maybe she should go do more of those janky pull ups to prevent COVID.  If COVID was never that bad, as many on the Right have touted, why are they so concerned about the spread of COVID?

I get what you’re saying. The company I work for is a bit casual, and one VP has a habit of putting his arm around you or patting you on the back. Mind you, he mostly only does this to women. He’s too homophobic to do it to other men. He’s not creeping on me, but I can see how some would find it startling and very…

I am bitter about the unvaccinated. I truly was looking forward to celebrating my upcoming 40th birthday in August, by feasting at the many restaurants and bars I have missed out on for over the past year. Now, it doesn’t seem so wise, especially living in the South. And now, I may have to mask up at work again. I did…

I wish! I was hoping some of the pandemic downtime would mean, I’d have time to purge some of the junk I’ve accumulated over the years. But it never quite happened. I got to work from home for about month, when the pandemic first started. But in my free time, it was mostly panic drinking and introverting. Then, I’ve…

I hope with legalization it also comes with regulation and standardization of testing marijuana.  Currently, it’s like the wild wild west, especially with some shady labs and companies out there.  https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/americas-pot-labs-have-a-thc-problem/

Some of the rural poor and housebound, probably don’t have the transportation to get to places with the vaccine. Another issue for some, is they got Moderna, but when they came back for the 2nd dose, their pharmacy only had Pfizer, or vice versa. That’s created a few problems.

I’m sadly becoming desensitized to her vile statements. It was just like with Trump’s tweet storms, early on in his presidency. It was initially shocking then him doing the same old shit. I hate that I’m become used to this from people in the GOP. It does wear on your soul.

Pre-pandemic, I know my employer struggled with hiring people. This was for a manufacturing gig that paid $13 - 15 / hour. And not the most livable of wages for a major metro area. It was a revolving temp factory, with some people quitting after a day. The temp agency had an entire line up of jobs for them, if they…

From what I recall reading, Vogue had asked Melania for an interview, but they couldn’t guarantee she’d be on the cover, so Melania said no.  She snubbed other fashion magazines too.  Oh well.  Less trash to read.

I think it was the late 90s when my parents bought rolling suitcases, similar to pretty much what everyone uses now.  We were going on a cruise to Alaska, and people were in awe of our suitcases and the easy of moving them.  Some people did have wheel cases, but they had the straps, and were usually flipped over…

The caftan bug hit me slightly before the pandemic hit. I bought my first one from Trashy Diva in a fabulous 70s dragon print. It was the last one in the store, an XS but still fit me (M-L) perfectly. The print is so fabulous. Then I found a vintage one on eBay from Hawaii - it’s lavender colored with rainbows on it.…

Interesting. If you look at some of the smaller lingerie companies that sell mostly online (and growing), their marketing is so much different. It’s models of different sizes, ages, race, orientation, ability, instead of some overly sexy white model who’s tits are being painfully pushed up.  I’d say that more…

From what I’ve seen working with breast prosthesis wearers, some are a bit more traditional. Being breastless carries stigma, sadly. So having something there, can help. At one point, I thought if I ever got breast cancer, I’d go flat. But then again, so much in the way of woman’s clothing is designed that you have…

Between me and my husband’s salaries, we do have enough money to afford a kid.  We’d have to cut way back on things, but we’d get by better than your average American family.  Still, we’re not having kids by choice.  It is a lot of work, that we both don’t want.  My plate feels plenty full between work, marriage,…

The sad truth of breast implants.

Unless something changes with today’s political divide, with more centrist politicians who truly want to work together, then nothing will get done if we want bipartisanship. The way the Senate is structured and the partisanship, no party will probably have a 60 vote majority to overcome the filibuster for a long…

Scientist here  - I’ve read a few articles where there could be some plausible evidence that COVID leaked from a lab.  I don’t trust the Chinese government to be honest about it either.  On the other hand, there had been 2 other coronavirus outbreaks (SARS and MERS) in the past 15 years, so it also seems quite…
