I would say, if you’re in a state it hasn’t reached yet, see about getting a titer test. You have time to wait for results and get the booster if needed. That’s my plan. I have a feeling I may have gotten a booster when I was trying to get pregnant, but it was so long ago the kid’s an adult.
“… because we’re bringing wealth back to America.”
America already has wealth. Too much wealth and too much poverty. What America needs is more even distribution of funds/assets. Starting by taxing actually COLLECTING the correct percentage of taxes from people and companies hiding/hoarding their excess, and using it to help people with too little. And going on to restructure the tax brackets so excess wealth is recognized as the drag on the economy that it is. We already know billionaires and corporate monopolies don’t create jobs or send money flowing, they stagnate the market and stifle productivity. They’re never going to voluntarily change. So the IRS needs to be expanded, with a mandatory focus on the “whale” targets. Obviously not going to happen under the present oligarchy, but the present chaos makes it a good time for passionate progressive people to start campaigns for seats presently held by MAGAs and GOP suckups, DINOs and Dem weaklings.
You know what I’d like to see? All the recently-resigned and recently-fired journalists getting together and forming a new news source with principles of truth. I’d subscribe, even scroll past ads if necessary. Maybe they could do a series of interviews with recently-fired government employees…
Well you don’t need to be as particular as someone who’s restoring wild habitat. Look at monarchwatch.org for any of the ones that suit your general region, then follow the link to https://www.xerces.org/milkweed/milkweed-seed-finder and input your state, type you want, and Yes or No to seeds vs live plants to find a place to buy them. Once there, you can play around finding other flowering plants native to your state. Also, many insect and bird species are not so fussy! Hummingbirds and bees love my blueberry bush and bougainvillea and lemon tree that aren’t native at all, as well as my Tidy Tips and California Primrose that are. And there’s a Yellow Warbler who loves eating the little bugs (aphids, mites, I dunno) that infest them.
Make sure you buy the right kind of milkweed for your latitude! The monarchs need different things during different stages. And don’t get the “tropical” or “Mexican” milkweed if you live above the Mexican border.
For your pollinator garden, see if there’s a nursery that specializes in native plants of your region. They’ll be able to help you figure out what you need and where to plant them.
Exactly! Cue starts with c like call or clue, which are sort of what it means.
Queue is a bunch of letters standing in line for no reason (since Q alone would sound the same)
Que is pronounced like the beginning of queso
You dope. White spots = strep = you get antibiotics and start feeling better fast! No spots, it’s a virus and you have to suffer through it for 2 weeks.
And of course, as you said, strep can become scarlet fever, where you stand defiantly in the sunset thinking (but not declaring, because your throat hurts) “as God is mah witness, Ah’ll nevah leave strep untreated again!”
Glad you survived.
In fact, the only thing that works is refusing to be bullied. Look at the tariffs.
He wants violence as an excuse for declaring Martial Law and a hold on elections.
Who’s gonna sign up for this anyway, under that weaseler? You’d wind up getting fired at year 9, if not before, because he’d cut whatever public service program you were in.
Just gonna pedantically mention that “kid gloves” aren’t something like mini boxing gloves for kids and tiny-handed presidents, they’re adult dress gloves made from supple kid (goat) leather. One would remove them for bareknuckle brawling. So “kiddie” doesn’t quite work. Obviously this is an informal forum, but it’s something to know in case you are talking about something more serious, like having to handle a difficult client with kid gloves; i.e. circumspectly.
“That fucker’s fascist Putin-titty-sucking antics” is spot-on. Appropriate for any situation, imho.
The fact they kept the lid the same size probably helps the deception, especially once there’s no old cans to compare it to. This could actually work out to be a good thing if people buy fewer sugary sodas while thinking they’re drinking about the same
