Most folks heat works as well as their infrastructure. If a big storm knocks out power for long enough, people with out an alternate heating source need to worry about pipes freezing.

Had to rename my pup because there were too many Tuckers and it was confusing to him.

That must have been a while back. Food stamps were replaced with benefit cards more than 10 years ago. 

What gives here? Late term abortion is a political term, not a medical one.

100% this. The very best way to get every last shard is a bare foot. There will be glass until it finds a foot.

Ah. Your comment makes more sense in that context.

That’s another strawman argument. You brought up offices & schools, not me.

The decision makers get it.  They just don’t want to deal with the fallout.

Call me an idealist but broad social will is made up of individual decisions. I will advocate for pulling everyone up to where the fortunate are every time I can.

OK, I am asking you this in earnest. You got the vaccine. So why are you opposed to masking in essential places until everyone can have the level of safety that you have achieved?

It is feasible. It was feasible when masking was prevalent a year ago. The difference now is that people are tired of it. I am tired of it too but we aren’t done yet, no matter how much we want to be.

Oh fuck that. When does a 4 year old have to be in an office? And kindergarten starts at 5 years old. 

“Maybe it would be different, if I got to work from home, or had to be in close contact with older people, young children, or the immunocompromised...”

Where did it say that you have to live like it’s March 2020? I don’t think that’s what anyone wants.

I noticed this shortly after I started chemo myself. People don’t believe me. Thanks for the validation! You are right though, it’s a terrible way to cure it.

Yep, this is a must.  Otherwise the blueberries burst when you flip the pancake.

SIL’s boyfriend was a real dirtbag, this I knew. I had met his family and it was obvious that he had come by it honestly. One Thanksgiving they came for dinner after stopping by his mom’s for a quick hello beforehand. Mom had made his favorite pie for him so he showed up with that in hand and asked me to refrigerate…

For a fraction of the price, a few drops of essential oil into the bowl does just as well or better than poo-pourri.  

Just when I think you couldn’t intrigue me more... 

We don’t so much drop the “R”s in words as much as we just move them around between words.
