I figured out that I wake up around 4:30am/5am every morning when my husband goes pee then my cats wake up and then in turn wake me up because "FOOD TIME MOTHER" so obviously the only resolution is to have him start wearing adult diapers to bed

Hey does anyone have the list of places striking today? I'm kinda out of food and desperately need to make a store trip but I wanna keep away from places like Target that have been organizing strikes for IWD

Here's the tweet I think that started it all and a few articles I've read about it. I think basically if you go to like Kroger or Albertsons (if that's your area) you should be fine. I'd not use any (e: any delivery) grocery delivery at all

lol if you think cats need anything in particular to wake them up at 430 in the morning to start bothering you for the food they get at 7 am every single day

I don't feed them once I get up, I've learned, they don't get fed until I've been up at least an hour or more so they don't associate the getting up with food. I'll lay there perfectly still in bed and as long as I don't move/cough/open my eyes they'll just vulture in a corner until then even if it's 10am. Once someone stirs they pull at my blanket pulling it off me/off the bed then start with screaming if I don't respond in a timely manner. To make sure it doesn't wake my husband up I just get up because he works so late. It's been much worse since I got sick because once I wake up I start coughing and they know I'm awake and I can't fake it

https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2020/05/if-your-mask-has-a-valve-its-half-useless/

quote:

If you’re wearing a face mask with a little plastic valve embedded in it, you should know that valves compromise the effectiveness of the mask—and this is true whether your mask is a hardware-store N95 or a designer cloth mask. These valves allow exhaled breath to bypass the filter. When you breathe in, the air you breathe is being filtered by the mask; when you breathe out, it is not. (The valve only operates in one direction.)

One-way valves make sense if you’re kicking up sawdust in your basement, walking around California during wildfire season or working in a factory where particles you definitely don’t want to breathe in may be in the air. In these cases, the mask’s job is to protect you. The valve makes it more comfortable to wear so you can get through your day or your factory shift without feeling too stifled.

But that’s not why we’re all wearing masks right now.

Why valves don’t make sense for infection control
In the age of COVID-19, we wear masks when out and about for two reasons: First, we hope they might protect us from other people, at least a little bit. (The science on this is not very convincing.) The second reason is more significant: they protect us from infecting others if it turns out we are infected and don’t know it.

Valves defeat that second purpose. A valved mask is letting your breath out unfiltered; the valve acts as a little escape hatch for any virus-laden droplets you’re breathing out. Some municipalities that require masks have specified that masks with valves do not count. You also won’t typically see valved masks in healthcare settings for the same reason.

I normally take canned air to it (a full can) and use poky tools to get in there and spend an entire afternoon with rubbing alcohol and qtips. I'm actually afraid to pop off the keys. I might do that today, it's been a few months since I've done it

I found laying on my stomach with a pillow under my stomach so I'm pretty much head tilted down made the coughing fits much better. I did this while laying on my couch so I could turn my head and still watch tv or poo poo post with one hand on my phone

So I had an appointment with my doctor and she is actually working with covid-19 patients here in ATL and with the hospital where I had my test so she had my results and thankfully it was negative but she's not convinced that I am. She put me on azithromycin because she said I might have picked up a bacterial infection but said if I'm not better by next week I need to get another test and there's some kind of trial going on for a blood test for covid-19 and depending on the outcome I'd be getting that. Apparently they're not sure if it's valid so, lmao. I'm happy it was negative but I'm sick AF so WTF. I've got her office on call so that's good in case anything bad happens. My lungs are 100% clear so silver lining, yay smoking (don't smoke, kids)

I don't want to be sick anymore. It's now hard to breathe and once I start coughing I almost puke it gets so violent. My stupid test was negative so if I don't have it then what's wrong with me? My doctor said something about other viruses they're seeing that are, and I quote, "not the flu but just as bad as covid-19" but WTF is that supposed to mean? Like? WTF? She also said she's not convinced I don't have it. What's the point of a test if it's not totally valid? Why would they put that on the market? I'm afraid to call her because I don't want to upset my husband who started to get angry with me yesterday for still being sick and all whiny and I get it, I was being pathetic and I guess he's going to say this is my normal asthma or something but that hasn't given me issues in a little bit. I'm scared and don't really have anywhere to turn. This is all bullshit

For reference, I've been self-employed for 15yrs and as of 3 days ago my red state is depositing $730 in my account every week because Bernie said so (actually, I have no idea why they're depositing more than $600). No interview or anything, I haven't waited on hold at all.

I imagine every state is different, but NC wasn't as bad for me as I had been hearing. Required me to register myself as an employer, to affirm that I cut my hours because of covid-19, to prove that I pay state taxes in NC with a tax return from the last couple years, and to prove I had income in 2019. They rejected my state claim a month ago, but finally approved the PUA stuff last week and sent me a couple grand for the last 3 weeks.

I need to look into this because I got a big fat go gently caress yourself

Imagine being such a pussy that when someone says they're not going to do something they don't want to do and because they are white and yelling at you, you just say, "okay do what ever you want". Like, why isn't it to round them up and lock them up and shave their hair claiming they have lice? They want a loving hair cut. Take their freedom, give them a felony for terroristic threats, felons can't legally own guns anymore and good luck getting one of those jobs "the illegals" are taking or renting/dating/etc, IF you don't die in lockup. The reason is they are either afraid of them or feel the same way. The tables are not being turned because they don't want them to be

"in hospital" is fairly common in British English.

Likewise, "I'm in school" which in American English would be "I'm in a/the school"?
"I'm in/at church" vs "I'm in the church"

But it only works for some things because English in all forms is stupid, so you can't say "I'm in store" or "I'm on bus".
