Nurses and doctors live about 5 to 7 years less than the rest of us, I guess; “dead doctors don’t lie.” Iow She may reliably be ignored, as long as one is not immune compromised or breathing compromised. Healthy people should not be wearing masks

@Alchemy I have never claimed to be a nurse. I do however work for a hospital and I read the briefings they send out every day if not more often.
I have an adult child that tested positive for TB when she was 5. We had just moved to Washington state, all children entering the state school districts were required to be tested. No one else in the family or extended family and community we left behind tested positive. The pulmonologist that was also a full bird colonel explained it was possible that someone coughed on her in McDonalds. That child had to take an awful liquid medication for 6 months to kill that germ. She was too young to swallow pills yet. She is 32 now, she STILL remembers the medication.
As with TB, you never know who in a crowd may be carrying an infectious disease. Most people don't deliberately spread disease. But it only takes one person to mess up the next several months of your life. My hospital has sent out information that a cloth face mask will drop your odds of breathing in the disease to about 79%. If the other person is wearing a mask your risk of contamination drops to less than 2%. We are required to wear our cloth masks when we are on the hospital property but away from our desks. If a coworker joins us at our desk we both should be masked. I am willing to bet my hospital has the latest and most up to date information. And yes, they have reported that some of the provider staff have tested positive for Covid. Considering the risk in a population of nearly 3000 one case is very low.

I disagree. I wear a mask to protect other people from what I may have picked up, and to protect me from what they may have picked up so we don't spread these germs to the more vulnerable populations. . I am a good driver, but I wear a seat belt because there are too many other drivers that aren't paying attention to their driving. I immunize my kids and myself to protect those who are immunocompromised, I work for a pediatric hospital that is full of kids that are immunocompromised. We all do things to protect the herd, it is part of being a good citizen.

I have told my kids that if I can't do what I want to do when I want to do it, that is not the definition of life I want to live by. I don't want to waste my money on tubes and treatments. It I decline that far just pull the damn plug and let me go. Spend the money on the living, send the babies or college or trade school.

@JackPedigo When I was 15 my uncle told me to play dumb so as not to chase away the boys, never let them know I was smarter than they were or I'd never get a husband. And my uncle was a good guy, but this was the prevailing idea for most of my lifetime. Women have been indoctrinated with the idea that men are to be the superior power. I do see this changing, especially among young women who are delaying marriage and not going to church. But for the women already in the mindset of oppression, how do you know you're oppressed if that is all you know?

I agree that this guys sounds like a spammer, but I have noticed in this case, as in others, that you have flagged him as a believer, and I don't think that means automatically that a person does not belong here.
While I would likely have no interest in a believer, and I have noticed elsewhere ...

He says he believes in God and he made a post about praying. But yes, if he is looking for support to break away he should be here, but that is not the vibe I got, especially after his picture popped on Tin Eye from various scammer following sites.

@TheGreatShadow I haven't shopped at WM in years, and it kills me now that my groceries come from WM because daughter shops there as she was employed by them and got a discount. I don't shop at Home Depot or Lowe's because of anti union activity. I don't shop Hy-Vee because I prefer Trader Joe's, Fresh Thyme, and Natural Grocers. I agree about Amazon but I need the convenience. I won't carry a buck knife because it won't fit in my pocket, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a tweezers, nail file, and toothpick. I have other knives that stay home, and a fairly complete tool kit. I even have two electric drills which I discovered when I moved into my house. I don't know why I have two drills. It is handy when the charge runs out on one that I can usually finish with the other. I like to be self sufficient. If I can't be, I have another daughter and son in law that are carpenters. If they can't help out I hire a professional.

Hospital responds after video shows one of their nurses in a crowded Wisconsin bar without a mask

Doesn't make much sense does it ? That nurse has some big unfilled emptiness inside, that only a few beers at a crowded bar can fill. Kind of sad and poignant - but dumb. Hopefully she, and those around her will not get the Trump Flu, but personally I think she's an ass.

Though I hate Amazon I got several P38s through Amazon a few years ago. they don't seem to be as hard as the Army issued P38s I used to have, but they're cheap enough to replace as needed. Since it doesn't take up much space and my kitchen is pretty small, I'm happy to have them. And I know I am the most unfeminine of women, I carry one on my keychain, as well as a tiny Swiss Army knife on my pocket. I am always prepared.

HippieChick58 replies on May 7, 2020:
@Gwendolyn2018 I did this for my grandson, he is 2, and WAS about to be moved from his crib to a twin bed in a new bedroom. His parents were just finishing the bedroom when Covid hit, and bedroom is now mom's office as she works from home, dad is working in the office in the basement. The quilt top is now folded up in my sewing room waiting for a good time to take it to the shop for mom to choose the backing and quilting pattern. We're all hoping Austin doesn't figure out he can climb out of his crib any time soon. This was kinda made up on the fly, Sarah gave me a picture of the rug to go in the room, and she wanted it of a similar theme and nothing girly. Sarah chose the fabrics as well. It has to last until he goes off to his own home.

HippieChick58 replies on May 7, 2020:
So, if I understand you, your blood pressure medication should be out of pocket, not matter what it costs? The cost should not be covered by your employer sponsored health insurance? Which also means if you ever want Viagra or any of that genre of medication it would be out of pocket. Insurance companies do make profits, obscene profits. Most insurance company CEOs are making high six figure if not 7 figure incomes. I don't ever want my employer making health care decisions for me. If I need oral contraceptives to fight acne or uterine fibroids, I don't want to have to discuss that with HR. I want my health insurance to cover my prescriptions. Have you priced any of these drugs? I talked to a mom who had BCBS, they gave her hell about paying for CHEMO for her child. She had a $50,000+ bill. Why did I talk to this mom, I work in the billing office of a hospital. Insurance companies are totally SHIT.

@lerlo My experience and my method is to look at the profile of the suspected scammer. How is their english, if they claim to be from the US and grammar/spelling/word choice is bad, that tells me possible NNES (non native English speaker), likely not well educated, which would be suspicious coming from someone who claims to have any advanced education.We look at what they claim to believe, if they are xians and this is an agnostic/atheist site they may be lost. Where are they from? Los Angeles, DC is a good trick. Abie, NE is one of my clues. Seriously no one lives there, and no apartments. I had a scammer claim to live there in an apartment. It is a really small farming community about 45 minutes from Omaha, but also alphabetically the first city in Nebraska, lazy scammers. We look at the pictures, and reverse image search. If they pop from a porn site.... If they are willing to relocate world wide... signs of a scammer. I've had too many interactions with men who would engage in conversation and then they need money and I'm the only one they can rely on.... sob. I knew a woman who spent over $10,000 on a scammer. In fact, I've heard that story from men and women. This is a free site, of course we will get people who want to take advantage of our collective naivete. I also look at who is contacting me. A drop dead gorgeous man is likely to raise my suspicions. And that man from a long way away has not read my profile. As I said, we take a look and alert admin. We don't have the ability to kick anyone off.

I rarely shop at Whole Paycheck or WM. One of my kids ended up working for WM after they bought the company she worked for. After COVID she was buying my groceries, so ended up with WM groceries. I'm not impressed with WM, never was. I shop Amazon for convinience, and Target as well.

I often wonder if such acts of those believers do think about storing brownie points with a invisible god. Since they all fall short of said commandments, forgiveness is foremost in their minds.

So doing good is like getting your ticket punched. I have often thought that.

To save everyone time, the point of the article is "expect the unexpected" is the key to marinating a relationship. Feel free to disagree, but variety is the spice of life.

@Philip21 Actually I think marinating is a good choice of words.

Can anyone tell me how to get a person out of a group.
HippieChick58 comments on May 1, 2020:
If you are the Mod of the group you can kick them out of the group. If you don't want to see them at all then you have to block them yourself. In my groups if someone has blocked me, then they can't be in my group because I need to be able to see what they're posting. So I carry my personal blocks ...
HippieChick58 replies on May 1, 2020:
@mistymoon77 If it is your group you can remove them. I've had to do it a few times in the Pinata. Right now I'd have to search a bit to remember how I did it, but it is one of the options as group owner or moderator.

A friend hired in at Walmart when the first little store came to this county. That was in 1985. The old man was alive. She was paid 9 dollars an hour when minimum was maybe three (?) With profit sharing and medical benefits.
What happened to the old mans kids to make them such greedy fucks? SMH
HippieChick58 replies on May 1, 2020:
I lived in Rosepine, Louisiana in 1983-1984. We were excited when the first Walmart opened in the area. If we only knew then what we know now.

Define criminals. How many poor people are in prison because they could not afford a good attorney, or were lied to. The real criminals are out here making money off of our misery. I am for anything to help those incarcerated have a semblance of a normal life. I'd like to see several hundred CEOs go to prison for the rest of their unnatural lives.

I'm also cautious of places a brown recluse spider might be, because they're poisonous as hell from what I hear. And rattlesnakes or other pit vipers. *Sane people avoid pain and death* if they can.
Plus, I don't go skydiving because I have a fear of the ground.

January 13, 2021 My newest and smallest grandchild. She arrived 5 weeks early and is now 2.5 weeks old and is less than 7 pounds. I've never held such a small baby before. She is quite perfect and very amazing. I love being a Grammy.
