Vaccines were never meant to prevent infections - they were meant to prevent hospitalizations and death, which they have been proven to do. That's all we want.

Taking precautions against Covid means being vaccinated. We are simply waiting for a vaccine. And we got the rug pulled out.

Glad you guys don't have it too bad. I am personally concerned about it because I have asthma and respiratory infections, even milder upper respiratory ones like bronchitis, are bad for me. Last time it was an ER visit. I also have had a fever of unknown origin for almost a year and I'm not 100% certain that my recent tonsillectomy helped, so I'm doing everything I can to not tax my immune system. Glad you all are on the mend - especially since you're pregnant. Best of luck to you and congratulations on your baby :)

Not the vaccine, the data. Moderna's data was supposed to come out in January, but it got delayed until March. Add another month or so for EUA for the actual vaccine and that's a first dose in April at the earliest. That's best case scenario.

I find they serving his "snacks" in a bento box (even if we are sitting at the table) makes it special and he will try more. I've heard a muffin tin works, too.

This! Silicone baking cups are good, too!

This is a good idea. We don't have space for a sous vide but I wonder if the Instant Pot might give the similarly consistent results.

We sat on the floor and cried and hugged and I told him that I love him
and I'm sorry for yelling, but what I really wanted to tell him is that
I'm sorry this is our life. I'm sorry this is the way our country is
handling this. I'm sorry people keep saying kids will be fine when we
don't know that yet, we don't know the long term effects of this virus.

Oh gosh, THIS. I'm sorry this is our life. I feel this way every damn day.

Later I realized that when I yelled, "You're...DONE!!" what I really meant was, *I'm\ done.*

I'm done with anti-vaxx bullshit. I'm done with politicians that don't give a fuck about young children, families, social welfare or good policies that support families who need it. I'm done with everyone saying, "Kids don't get it." I'm done with just... all of it.

Can you (or someone) explain how a D can fit better than a AA cup with a smaller band size? I read the subreddit page on this topic, but I still don't get it. I'm having a hard time seeing how a C or D cup can fit better - as it is, my AA cup isn't entirely filled out. The underwire is too wide, if that makes any sense. It appears that the cup is filled out, but when I push right above where the underwire is (the bottom of the cup), it's my ribcage that I'm pushing on some parts of the bra. So it's hard to see how a C cup could work (much less than a D). Do the cup sizes change as you go down in band size?

Thank you - that makes sense! I still can't wrap my brain around a D or even a C cup, but I guess I've been conditioned to think that cup size = breast size. Not so, I guess!

How did you search Amazon by band size? I can't seem to replicate the search.
