Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Just kidding, I know she's hunkered down inside with the thermostat cranked up LOL
There are very few who understand my humor.
And I appreciate your humor. But keep flushing in winter!
And keep posting your comments about Covid.
Don't allow the sock puppets to chase anyone away.
Gershun would have something to say about that.
when it's yellow let it mellow
when it's brown flush it down
How can they do that if they are so sick as to need hospitalization?
Stay home, risk dying. It may be better than decreasing your chances of survival (from anything) by waiting outside in the rain for hours, imo.
Review exactly what is an emergency, and act accordingly. imo.
Geaton,
Sorry for your loss of your friend's sister.
Cwillie,
I agree when you say: "I'm getting tired of dismissive comments".
There are some who force an agenda like spammers do. Then cause fights, disagreements, and attack other posters. I am tired of seeing that.
Not to change the subject, but I came on here to say something. I don't feel that it will be welcome. But I will state it, and move on so anyone wanting to sanely discuss Covid can and will.
My comment is not very important-we surely do not need a discussion-or a back and forth. Here it is:
A different perspective on the frustrating night time trips to the bathroom, whether it is the care-gived or the care-giver: Flushing the toilet that many times over night and in the freezing early mornings will prevent the pipes (plumbing) from freezing up. That's a good thing!
FYI, I never get the seasonal flu shots so it's not like I "love" vaccinations, especially barely vetted ones, but covid (for now) is different. And I had covid and it left me with post-virus problems that I wish I didn't have. I didn't have the opportunity to decide to preemptively get the vaccination (because it hadn't been released to my age group at that point), but I definitely would have if I could have, based on my age and health. I'm not getting any of the boosters. I just read that the most recent booster immunity for Omicron only lasts about 10 weeks.
Hospitals are short staffed because they decided to fire every nurse and doctor who refused to take the vaccine. Many also quit before they were fired to seek employment where they wouldnt be forced to inject an experimental vaccine into their bodies. Or they just decided to retire early. If these nurses are so
Burned out they should not be working since they are knowingly putting patients lives at risk due to their own fatigue. I wonder how those singing nurses had time to go to the White House over christmas last week since hospitals are so short staffed. Wouldn't they have better served the community working than singing for Joe Biden? Reminds me of the height of the pandemic when all this nurses were making tik tok videos while people were dying. Talk about priorities.
And way to go blaming this woman for her own demise because she got covid and was out on a vent instead of who really caused her death. I hope the family sues for malpractice.
cw - me too. Well said.
Geaton, I'm sorry for your loss.
These hospitals get big money for venting a patient and since covid they will vent just about anyone. I know because every time my mil went to the hospital they automatically vented her every time and we had to fight each time to get the vent removed. That and remsivider are killing more people than actual covid.
Until the government stops paying for covid testing and covid incentives this is never going to stop. Greed seems to rule the medical profession at the moment.
You only have speculation that vaccination would have spared her a trip to the hospital. There are many hospitalized that are vaccinated and the way they play fast and loose with what they consider fully vaccinated is the true crime.
Most Doctors and nurses are not reporting vaccine related injuries to vaers and there are no variants. That is just scare mongering tactics to get more people jabbed.
The unvaxxed have a less that 1% chance of needing hospitalization if they get covid. Not to mention many vaccinated are getting strokes and blood clots from said vaxx. If you want to take all the never ending boosters for the rest of your life go right ahead. But i resent the blatant propaganda and fear tactics by the CDC, fauci, the biden admin and the media in trying to coerce everyone to get jabbed.
Not to mention all their flip flopping on everything which is not science but politics. The latest being the shortening of quarantine times from 10 days to 5 days not because of science but because of dollar signs.
Logging out.
Oh yes, the 12 Days of Christmas.
😁
I hope your neighbors don't keep the music on all year too. 🎼🎼🎶🎵🎵

I will wait for it.
Some wait til spring, because it's winter and they don't want to cope with undecorating in the cold
And some leave their lights up year round.....
I was tempted to do that today, but no.
Like you said Willie. The mind is a weird thing.
