The instructions say to put it in the dryer on high heat for 15 minutes before first use. I did that. Haven't washed it yet. The pillow is very comfy, but I was really hoping it would relieve my neck pain, as well. Not the pillow's fault at all--I guess it won't be that easy. The pain gradually subsides during the day, and I feel a lot of popping in my neck throughout the day, but by the time I wake up the next morning, it's back. Nothing that a few hundred milligrams of ibuprofen won't take care of, but I can't keep doing that to my kidneys. I've been trying various sleeping positions, but maybe I just need to find a chiropractor (I use doctors and modern medicine as little as possible, and only as a last resort).
There's a HUGE difference between this and your first statement (and several other, similar statements I've seen you post). It's not the 2nd Amendment that protects us--it's our willingness to protect ourselves and our fellow Americans.
We got our pillows, sheets, and pillowcases last week. So comfortable! Unfortunately, the pillow isn't the answer to the neck pain I've awakened with every morning for about the past six months. At least it's not making it worse.
No, the 2nd Amendment doesn't protect us from the government. It's not a talisman that we can hold up like a cross to a vampire, nor does it prevent them from enacting legislation to outlaw or restrict our God-given rights. We must have the means and the willingness to exercise our rights under the 2nd Amendment in order to protect ourselves from the government. If we allow the government to outlaw or severely restrict firearms and/or ammunition, it will be a LOT more difficult to accomplish.
I've never been asked to explain, but if I were, I would say, "I don't share my private medical information with anyone except my family and my medical provider." HIPAA may not have that restriction against a business, etc. asking for an explanation, but my state (specifically the governor's order) does.
Not a legal "accomodation" for people with a medical exemption. File a complaint here: https://civilrights.justice.gov/report/
You don't need a note. "I have a medical exemption". "I don't share my private medical information with anyone other than my family and my medical provider." If you are not being allowed in, tell them they are in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. File a complaint here: https://civilrights.justice.gov/report/
"I don't share my private medical information with anyone other than my medical provider and my family." If a mask Karen comes after you, call for the manager. If it's a store manager, inform them they are violating the Americans with Disabilities Act and file a complaint here: https://civilrights.justice.gov/report/
Apparently, in the beginning of Parler, they didn't require phone numbers. Then it changed.
