As someone whose "love language" is primarily gifting, spending a chunk of money on a gift that you know the recipient will love (and that you can afford) is cool and good actually. Don't do it if you can't afford it or you don't know that they will really love it though. Also stuff like favorite dessert or activity can go a long way, it doesn't have to be purely material.

Sis moved into her dorm and it's yet another single with her own bathroom lmao. Granted she spent junior year remote but she's never had an actual physical in-the-same-room roommate. Lucky. :allears:

I think they picked 8 months because the W.H.O. was complaining about other countries not getting vaccines and wanted to give them a couple extra months of good vaccine exports.
Then they saw the school infection rates and and decided moving up the booster would count as doing something about it.

Ok, first time since I found this thread that someone close-ish to me has been possibly exposed, want to see what y'all would recommend:

SO's mother just called to say that SO's brother-in-law has been ill since Friday, and both grandkids also became mildly ill over the weekend. All 3 went to an Ontario (Canada) hospital for testing, uncertain turnaround on results.

SO's mom saw the grandkids Thursday.

If it's covid and symptoms from the dad began Friday, then shedding may have been as early as Tuesday/Wednesday.

If she's lucky then he passed it onto the kids (rather than vice-versa) and they weren't far enough along to have shedded themselves on Thursday.

Let's assume she wasn't lucky. Should she (and my SO's dad) get tested asap? Or would it be enough for them to self-isolate and wait for word from the 3 who were already tested (this is the current plan afaik).

Thanks.

the other morning i covered my face entirely with those stick-on googly eyes and stared at my wife until she woke up

which tells me her love language is "oddly high effort trolling"

edit: or is it my love language? I read an article once about this thing and immediately thought it was poorly thought out and haven't put any brain power into it since, which is still more brain power than i put into my posts

everyone test, don’t leave things up to assumptions

but test 4-5 days after the potential moment of exposure

You didn't mention if the mom/dad of your SO are vaccinated. If they are not and assuming Canada has monoclonal antibodies available, then the earlier they confirm they are positive the better off they will be in getting medical help before things go downhill.

I'd want to get tested anyway given an exposure like that.

He still has an active covid infection so hopefully not. But given the power maybe he's just holding a bag and pumping for folks on vents :(

Talked to a relative earlier who I've avoided seeing since he's been going maskless everywhere

He posted a maskless picture at a restaurant last night on Twitter

When he asked if I'd come visit, I politely declined and told him I'm trying to be careful because of COVID

He replied - "I haven't been anywhere in a week, and I always use masks"

Is he trying to kill me?

People literally think taking off their mask in restaurants is a safe zone or something. I've ran into quite a few people who said they're always masking but posting on social media at restaurants

the most important thing to realize about all this is that nearly everyone you personally know and talk to thinks they're doing the right thing and therefore feel zero obligation to go into detail beyond that

a lot of people have subconsciously categorized different things as "doing something" based seemingly entirely around whether or not they regularly do it - so if someone used to regularly go to restaurants that's not actually going anywhere because it's mentally categorized as an extension of their home life and thus safe

I've literally told this person (and other relatives) "stay home for 10 days and I'll come visit you".

They always say they can't do it.

Oh whoops yeah shoulda mentioned that. Everyone in both of our nuclear families is two-dose vaccinated except my SOs nephews due to being under 12.

Apparently the results are expected early tomorrow so if any of the 3 come back positive then we'll act promptly.
