  1. Yup! My daughter and her friends spent many evenings sitting outside the vaccine center, just in case she was able to get one of the leftovers. Some of her friends got vaccinated that way, others appts came up before they got a leftover, and they were vaccinated that way. But they all got vaccinated!

  2. Kamala Harris is not helping people who may be sitting on the fence as far as who they are voting for. Apart from not being out there trying to win votes, 3 weeks from election day, she does not seem to understand that Judge Barrett is not actually standing trial for a crime. And she can smile all she wants but it does not make any of her comments or questions sound any more appropriate or less vindictive. It does, however, want me to see her in the White House even less! Not that I ever wanted to see her there to begin with!

  3. LOL! My husband and I were just discussing this with our teenagers at dinner. They know what coyotes are (kee-o-tays is how it is pronounced), and I was telling them which of their friends growing up had nannies who came here, worked, earned money, and then sent for their kids via coyote (and why I am against it and would never hire someone in that predicament when they were young). It is SO common here. Then we discussed how most of the country likely doesn't even know what a coyote is! But this is just too funny! Wow! (And btw, we also said that those kids are not "missing"-- their parents want them here as they are better off, and their parents know it. They will stay with family until the heat dies down, the DNC is back in power, and the coyotes are back in business. Sad, but true.)

  4.  @robertdimarzio4490  she didn't say she grew up in a Chassidic household. People can appreciate something yet not want to live that way everyday. And she is speaking about her experience. Off the derech in her world can mean something else to someone else... it is all about perspective. Like he states, what secular world are you speaking about?

  7.  @kingpin76110  Not sure which video you watched, but regardless, your latest statement is different than your original statement. "An active essential part"--whuch I agree that he was--is not the same as Joe Biden hatching a plan by himself and using Hunter to make it happen. And legally it would make a big difference. The FBI has supposedly been watching this for a while already but did not want to tell the public "and influence the outcome of the election" (which was wrong on their part, imo). They clearly have more info than people have been led to believe. But similar to the Tara Reade accusations, if no one speaks out and make an issue of it, it will never be investigated properly. Another example of "rules for thee but not for me."

  8.  @BMIU  What do you mean price for Hunter? We know what he has received so far. Disgraceful as it is! Right now, my outrage is that crazy stimulus bill and all the ridiculous foreign aid in it! Horrible!!!

  9. Just because we are hearing about it on the news doesn't mean that it isn't happening. It isn't like they just woke up on Jan. 7th and said "Wait! I have an idea..." This is SOP for all the agencies and has been for years.

  10. Why is an indoor kids play gym different than a gym? Is this a joke? Anyone with kids, or anyone who has been to a play gym for kids like this knows why this is a silly discussion!

  13.  @ancientlink116  You retired in Mexico? But you lived and worked in the US prior to moving to Mexico? So you contributed to the American economy and paid unemployment taxes in the US for years. Why wouldn't you be eligible for benefits? Spend them wherever you want!

  14.  @lorefreedom6386  When did you fill out your app? Did you ask for direct deposit? Those who have their bank info should get their money faster.

  15.  @bullmoose6739  Just don't cash it (or send it back if you asked for direct deposit on your application). But if you have been working and paying taxes, then it is your money, so why wouldn't you want it? Those of us who have been paying into our unemployment benefits all these years deserve it. Why would we send it back?

  16.  Jon Linus  I work hard for that money, as do my employees. We have been paying into our unemployment fund for years. It is mine and I intend to use it. I need it for my family just as I need it to continue paying my employees. That is what it is there for!

  17.  @chattingman8546  Assuming you are replying to the original comment, her point is about parents (not just mothers, regardless what was said) who have been helping their kids ("taking the reins" was what she said) with their zoom classes and home learning. So it doesn't matter how good the curriculum is if it is the parents supplementing their education. But you bring up 3 separate issues. No, it is not a partisan issue. Education rarely is. And as we have a 2 party system, yes, you are correct--it is a combination of Dems and Republicans that affect education in America. But as far as "importing Asians for technical jobs"--can you be more specific? What jobs, in particular, are you speaking about? And what numbers are you referring to? Where is this data from?

  18. @T.J. One thing I would point out is that while your kids may have been doing well this past year as they work from home under your tutelage, do bear in mind that zoom learning was not designed to be the same as homeschooling. Depending on the ages and grades, while your kids (and your friends kids) may be at the top of their class, if you have "taken the reigns", then it is to be expected that they are getting straight A's. I would be surprised (and concerned) if they weren't. Zoom/pandemic at home learning was not designed for parents to "take the reigns" in order for a child to learn, or thrive, in the class. Not every parent can do so, which means that there is an uneven playing field for the kids. So, for those who do not have the help of their parents, for whatever reason, and are doing well nonetheless--those are the ones who will be the superstars in life--guaranteed! For the kids whose (helicopter) parents are involved in everything the child is doing all day, looking over their shoulders, reviewing their work and correcting it before they hand it in, etc.--those children are being done a huge disservice. And their parents may not even know it. School is about a lot more than just the curriculum on paper. And it us not designed to be a team sport in which one attends with mom or dad by their side. Just like life! If they have spent the past year riding along as a passenger, because someone else took the reigns and drove the carriage for them, then how will they know how to drive by themselves when the time comes for them to take the reigns and drive solo? And it is great to get all A's, but there is also a lot to be learned from failure too. Or even just learning to say, hey, wait a minute--I think I need help (before they get an F)! I have 4 kids, and it has been a crazy year! One started college, one started gap year abroad (and just won a prize for most weeks spent in quarantine!), one in 11th and one in 10th. And they just left public to return to private bc I found the everyone at home all day together soul sucking, and they needed to return to a classroom setting (now that we are vaccinated). I have seen it all, done it all, just stepped off the school board bc I disagreed with their Covid policies.... I am not coming from a place of total ignorance. I obviously don't know how this will all play out and how the kids will end up, but I do know that the concern of parents being overly involved in the at home learning process is real. Just be aware. It is like a drug. It may feel good now, but you will likely pay for it later. Somehow. Sometimes we have to force ourselves to just say no. Good luck!

  19.  @violetgibson9  Do you mean home schooling? It has been a valid option for decades. Covid has only made people realize that as it has been forced on them. (Also, while bullying is an issue, suicide is rare, so let's set that aside. If a child is being bullied, pulling them out and homeschooling them should not be the first solution a parent looks towards. That is just a bandaid.)

  20. And the joke is on the media... the more they make fun of it and the more we all talk about it, the more press he will get! When this is all over, I look forward to buying a pillow from this lovely, selfless man who put the health and safety of America first and went out of his way to help in a time of crisis! He deserves all the praise (and PR) he can get!

  21. This is a little bit of a leftist angle. Surprised at Hannity. We have NO IDEA what is really going on here. Or who this woman even is. He could have just called for the PR.

  22.  @Lisa-j7s3k  I 100% agree with you (I think). But you may want to go back and edit the pronouns and use names instead as it could be taken the wrong way (and you are making a good point!).

  23. I really can't hear anymore about restaurants! They are not the only small businesses the world! My whole industry is collapsing (Meeting and Conference planning--the FIRST businesses to stop operating), and we are still only discussing restaurants! A year in and that is the only discussion that is still top of the news every night. It is wrong!

  24.  @Luaxon  Are you Canadian??
    1
  25.  @Luaxon  Granted, I am in the minority. But I learned German and French in HS (and one year of Italian, so I can get around and order in a restaurant, etc.). Then majored in German and French in College and studied abroad and now speak them fluently. I had to teach myself Spanish when we moved to LA. I have 4 kids who are learning 2 languages in HS and it depends on the kid. Some picked them up quickly and other struggled. Everyone has their strengths (I was terrible at math and science). But yes, in general, Americans are not great at second languages. And when they travel they assume everyone speaks English. Which they do in Europe. So they don't even make an effort to use the little they learned.
    1
  26.  @Luaxon  No. Canadians all learn French as a second language and speak it well. Even after 4 years of HS french. And they tend to make fun of Americans bc we don't typically produce bilingual kids when the graduate (they start earlier). Tho Californians tend to learn Spanish and then continue to use it, which is key. Just as Canadians continue to use French. I speak 5 languages--if you don't use it and continue to practice, it is easy to lose what you have learned.

  36. I just got new neighbors. My daughter baked cookies and we brought them over with a bottle of wine in a lovely gift basket. We chatted for almost an hour and then somehow the capital riot came up and we both discussed how awful it was. But I then let her know--as I felt I should--that most of the people on the block were Republicans and/or Trump supporters. The look of shock on her face was a little unsettling. She made me feel uncomfortable for saying it, but I just wanted her to be aware so she didn't just assume--as most ppl do--that everyone on the block was a Biden supporter. I was so uncomfortable I started to point out the few ppl I knew who were staunch Democrats (all of 3 houses). And she still just stared at me in disbelief. When will ppl understand that Trump did get atleast 70-74 million votes? And that at some point, they will encounter some of them anywhere, anytime, and we may not have Maga hats on or Confederate flags on our lawn. We didn't just get back from DC on Jan 7th. We live on a block of mainly business owners, doctors, lawyers, etc. and we don't want our taxes to go up. Or pay for insurance for people are here illegally, and we really just didn't want Biden for President! Welcome to the neighborhood!

  37. Yes, for the greater good! It is unfortunately necessary because too many people are too selfish and refuse to wear a mask in public to protect themselves and others. Those who don't wish to comply can, by all means, move! No one is stopping them.

  38.  @karyndewit193  Are seatbelts also a violation of one's rights? Or not being able to smoke indoors? Or in certain cities in California, where the law says that one must be X amt of feet away from the front door of a business to smoke, AND one must be walking--you cannot step outside a restaurant in Yolo County and have a cigarette. You have to walk back and forth...(and no, I am not joking, crazy as it sounds).

  39. Is there somewhere that you have not been able to go, or is there something that you have not been able to do, due to the mask rules/laws?
    1
  40.  @karyndewit193  I am not asking to be argumentative, I am trying to understand the other side of the argument so that I can approach my staff with some understanding of where they are coming from, while at the same time, enforcing the law. I also find it hard to breathe with it on, but I also find a seatbelt uncomfortable, yet I have to wear it, so I do. Also to set an example to my kids so that we all stay safe. Is it that the mask is uncomfortable or simply the issue that it is a law? Have you tried different types of masks? We have been through a few varieties....

  41.  @karyndewit193  I also take it that you have been lucky to not have any close family or friends have a severe case of Covid?

  42.  @karyndewit193  I absolutely understand how it could make you feel constrained or anxious, especially if it triggers something negative from your past. But putting that aside (as it is personal to you), even if there were a very small chance that it could keep you or someone else around you healthy, why would you advocate for people not to wear it? I was just discussing it with my husband as we have two groups of friends--the mask wearers, and the anti mask group (most of which also happen to be doctors ironically). And my husband was talking about it with the one friend who agrees with him about wearing masks and he said that it is not because he is afraid of getting sick or dying (although I am high risk), it is that he and this one friend, both had Covid outbreaks at work and they both had to close for 2 weeks, I had to open a case with the Health Dept., we paid thousands of dollars to get everyone tested and retested privately bc testingwas such a mess here. We lost tons of money (and annoyed a ton of clients), and still had to pay everyone. All because our "patient zero" went to visit a friend who was in quarantine, stayed for dinner bc she was asymptomatic, and then SHARED A FORK WITH HER!!!. Then came to work (while shedding) and after work, the second person asked for a ride home and they sat in a car for an HOUR without masks and the windows rolled up So they didn't even get sick AT work, but it was a HUGE, expensive, annoying hassle! Same thing happened to our other friend. It was so stressful and we just don't want to go through it again. That's the other side people don't think about until they have to deal with it. And I am not even talking about the sick ones. We all got lucky with that, thank goodness! So, if everyone would just help each other out and wear a mask, maybe we will get through this sooner and life can get back to normal!

  43.  @karyndewit193  And you are right about it being hard not seeing people's full face. I had to retrain the front office staff to smile with their eyes so that their warmth would show through. But it is a challenge. I don't think anyone is trying to take anything away from anyone by asking them to wear a mask. I think we all just want to do whatever we can to get through this. I hate my mask, but have to wear an N95 at work (and again, I am very high risk and if I get it, it won't be pretty). Otherwise I try others. But I also have to set an example at work. At home for the kids, and even when I nudge my husband, I don't want to come off as a hypocrite (but he wears one half a day for surgery so he is used to it after all the years). I just want this to be over! And I would guess most people feel the same way. Plus, there are sooo many other things to stress about right now in this country, the mask seems minor to me at this point. Just my perspective.
