I'm a type 1 diabetic and I've noticed that the masks seem to cause a roller coaster effect on my blood sugar when I'm working. I don't think they lower oxygen levels, but maybe because it seems harder to breathe my body assumes I'm working harder and I end up spiking? I don't know...
But I do know that 3 weeks back at work is enough. My job is fairly physical, but I normally wasn't totally wiped at the end of the day. The past few weeks I've come home and crashed... Partially because of blood sugar issues, partly from headaches or just plain fatigue.
I gave my notice today... Everyone says the mask is no big deal, but it really is. This job isn't worth making myself sick. My daily average has gone from 140 (ish - not awesome but not bad) to being over 200 regularly, and I've been over 500 twice.
I 100% believe that the mask is the issue. It's not just a piece of cloth for some people. And I'm tired of the Maskholes shaming people who struggle with it.
You can hear someone yell "everybody back up!" Just before the shots go off... I was wondering if that was him "taking charge" and letting everyone know he was going to shoot out the tires.
The one I read said that he was pushing his girlfriend in hee wheelchair and he was just defending her. He dinduniffin!
That is a sexy gun!
I was called a Karen for honeschooling my kids... Not because of the Rona but because of the mask requirements, distancing and sanitizing. It's not a healthy environment for kids, all it is teaching is fear.
So I told a mom group that we would be homeschooling, but with lots of field trips and other learning experiences, and still playing sports.
I am Literally. Satan. My kids are going to kill their kids and their grandma. I deserve to get sick and die because I don't want my kids stuck at home. Thank God I'm not sending them to school because I'm a selfish moron.
That's all I saw before I was removed from the group for reporting that our state had exactly ZERO covid deaths yesterday.
We did fail on eye protection, but we all had ear plugs, the oldest has them hanging around her neck in the pic because she was still listening to instructions but we did fix them before she shot.
I'll make a note of the eye protection for next time. Thanks for the reminder!
I was on the Austin sub a little bit ago... Dead guy is definitely the victim of a cold blooded murderer. /s
Thank you - I knew it wasn't right but I couldn't figure out how to explain it to them. Both pics were taken when they first got the gun so it did improve some, but still needs work.
Also - if anyone has suggestions for teaching gun safety to kids I'm open to it. I know the basics, but I'd like them to have more than that.
I wish I had been taught to shoot when I was younger, I'm glad we have the opportunity and the means to teach them to defend themselves now.
Tl:dr "we were blocking the road and this lady dared to try to cut through a parking lot tonger around us!!! So we gathered around her car and kept beating on it and yelled for the cops when she wouldn't stop. Instead of arresting this threatening, violent woman they pushed us out of her way and let her leave! I'm literally shaking! ACAB because they saw a crowd of people threatening a woman and protected her!! We wuz peacefully blocking her and beating on her car!"
I.... What the actual fuck??? I'm speechless after reading that. How was this woman a threat to them?? If you're so afraid she's going to hit you maybe you should back the fuck up off the car?!?
How do they even function in society??
They need to get laid by a stronger, dominant man. Nothing like completely giving up control for a few hours to make you relax.
My husband told me that if it looks like my car is going to be surrounded, and especially if I have my daughters with me, I am not to even slow down. Hit whoever and whatever I need to and get out of the situation... We'll deal with the consequences later.
It's what I would have done anyway, but it makes me feel better that he will back me up if it comes to it.
I'm still a noob when it comes to guns, and don't know much about different models. It's a Palmetto AR15.
I get to shoot it tomorrow, so I'll learn more then.
It was an unexpected purchase, but I'm happy with it!
That was my thought as well! Any sports really... When one kid goes down they all go down.
7 years of soccer and my kid got her first injury this past year. Everyone knelt at the same time so it took me a while to figure out that it was mine that was down... Whoops.
Our church had a cross hanging above the altar, simple and beautiful, made by someone who had gone to church there for many years.
When the church burned down it was almost the only thing that could be salvaged from the sanctuary.
The same member took it and cleaned and refinished it, but left the singe marks. I think it is absolutely beautiful.
I have to wear a mask at work, and I was told today to go ask a couple of women if they had masks they could put on.
I told my boss that I didn't feel comfortable doing it becauae I might blurt out that I'm insanely jealous of them for not feeling the pressure to wear a face diaper.
I don't have to enforce the mask rule. They'll find someone else to do it.
I'll look into that. She wants to be an engineer so I've been reaching out to some engineers that I know to see if they know of any programs too.
As much as people are pushing women in STEM right now I'm sure I'll be able to find enough to keep her interested.
Mine are staying home this year. I'm thinking that they'll come out ahead of their peers - and a lot less fearful.
The environment that they're setting up can't be good for kids... Teaching them that it's dangerous to get close to their friends or teachers? Stay in your assigned area and disinfect everything every hour! Not to mention wearing a mask all day, it's not something you get used to, it will always be a miserable distraction.
My oldest is worried about missing her STEM/gifted program so I'm trying to find a way to incorporate that, but I'm actually kind of looking forward to not having to deal with all the BS that comes with dealing with the school district.
Absolutely. It's why we're homeschooling this year.
Our rural, conservative school elected a raging libtard to the school board. She's ruining everything.
My kids were going to be the 4th generation to start school and graduate from there. I hope they fix it so we can continue the tradition.
I work(ed) in retail, and there was a group of us resetting racks of belts before we opened one morning. The manager picked one up and snapped it... 5 out of the 6 of us there froze... It was just the natural reaction to that sound, lol
We had to explain it to the 19 year old who's parents didn't believe in spanking.
And step on a Lego
The media is already trying to downplay it - "it's just employers bringing their people back to work, it was expected eventually" blah blah blah
I want to laugh at this comment... But it's true. It's a struggle sometimes...
And my poor husband, within the past year he's had to deal with both of my daughters and me at times. He knows when I'm hormonal but with the girls sometimes he'll ask me if it's PMS or if it's a demon. Sometimes it's tough to tell the difference....
