I'm not saying kids should have to deal with all the crap I did, but I will say I was well equipped to handle myself.  

I think today's kids are so shielded from hardship by their parents, that when they are away from them they don't know what to do.  

Then it's up to teachers to be babysitters.

Had to put old girl down today...we'd had a tumor taken off her chest in May, but it was growing back and split her incision...they found 4 more tumors in her and she was in pain...good girl, very laid back like most Labs... I'll miss her...

Sorry to hear this.  Never easy. 

The Moth joke is legendary.  Only Norm could pull that off.

I looked up the regeneron treatment locations for my area. 

Memorial hospital in Jasper, Daviess Community hospital, and Green County hospital in Linton. 

Thanks for the link. 

I thought the worst thing I'd ever have to do was burying my dad. I've been through alot.

She doesn't think she believes in God anymore, but God put me in place to be there. I keep pushing on but I'm getting worn out. Me and my wife has probably slept 36hrs in the week and a half. 

But being there for my sister when she buried her husband is worse. She only 31. All I could think of was this song, change a few lyrics and it's relevant.

There's a documentary by French filmmakers Jules and Gedeon Naudet, who just happened to be with some NYFD guys at a gas leak when they caught the first plane fly into the tower on film that's so raw it's difficult to watch. As they're in the lobby of one of the towers, they finally realize this massive sound coming every 50 seconds or so are from jumpers hitting the pavement outside of the foyer...

Just posted the video of the first plane. 

Yeah, I've seen the whole documentary.  Really tough to watch. 

I will never forget people jumping out of the buildings. What a terrible position to be in.

It isn’t necessarily a carve out. That implies they were intentionally excluded. We have no evidence that they were.  Again, USPS is included - we can move past that. Members of Congress and their staff (Legislative) and Court staffers (Judiciary) aren’t, per one of the articles earlier.  The President likely has no power to compel actions of a separate branch of government. 
 

I agree, they should voluntarily? abide by the same vaccine mandates. That seems logical. 

If I'm going to be forced into getting it then they should too. 

Getting pretty tired and fed up with these so called leaders. There is a reason why smart people don't become politicians. 

I was in algebra class 16 yrs old.  The teacher wheeled in a TV.  

I remember telling my classmates we are about to go to war. I'm still conflicted.  A part of me wishes I signed up to shoot some of them bastards. 

Scrapbooking hoosier style.

Apparently I got a room in the ghetto. 

So I'm making the funeral sign in book for my sister. 

Members of Congress, staff exempt from Biden COVID-19 vaccine mandate

Someone try to explain the reasoning behind this. 

We are never getting back to normal, or what we thought was normal.

Tying this statement to a post I made earlier.  My kids dont like to have to wear masks to school because not enough of their classmates are vaccinated to prevent an outbreak among students.  

That's understandable but I also think there is a difference between a mask mandate and using my livelihood as leverage to force me into something I have concerns about. 

I've known 2 people who have died from complications after getting the vaccine.  Was it the vaccine?  I don't know. But we are buying my BIL tomorrow and he was one of them. 

Shut the border down and I will voluntarily get one. 

I had a positive antibody test about a month ago btw.

You know there is no basis in science when postal workers, and certain other groups, are excluded. 

I just think the decision is vindictive since they seem to think rural Americans are the only ones unvaccinated and it sets a very bad precedence bypassing congress and just making up rules.

Also, why do vaccinated need protected? They got the vaccine after all. 

I'm not anti vax, by all means get it if you want it.  

I just don't appreciate having things forced on me. 

Now they want to mandate vaccination for any company with over 100 employees.  Wtf?  

Falling down.  Michael Douglas at his best.

That used to be the joke, get the receptionist to page “mike hunt”

Worked at at a place where the SC plant managers last name was Hunt.

The office manager absolutely refused to page him when he was visiting the Michigan plant.

My old job I called the secretary from the maintenance shop, a Hispanic girl, and had her page Richard Cranium. It was worth it.

Ding ding.  Originally introduced as a women's sport in 1910 by the YMCA.
