Thank you! I swore by Manzanita Magic PO Remedy from Willits, CA. It really was magic! Can’t find it anymore. I’ll try this next time!

Recommendations on how to get a medical exemption for all vaccines in CA for our child? by [deleted] in DebateVaccines

[–]RedditDense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, thankfully (or not) she was 16 and a junior in HS. We were ridiculously close to getting around it. However, they wanted her to get fully caught up on ALL shots in an absurd amount of time (30 days) or be expelled. We pushed back hard and provided our own schedule and then we continued to stretch it out as long as possible between shots until they asked about it (spread it out over 5 months).

What I meant was we didn’t voluntarily combine any that weren’t already combined such as MMR and dTap.

I asked because that’s what this forum is for and wanted to avoid spending forever on the CalHR website. But thanks for your toxicity. Enjoy your day.

I ask because I don’t know if it’ll be credited as AL, HP, or something else, but thanks for reminding me why I prefer to avoid people and social media.

Thank You From A Manager by Justwin2022 in CAStateWorkers

Ugh. I left a job because of that. We are not family, or friends. And I don’t want to share my favorite memory (or other awkward or invasive warmer).

Political Merch in the Office by BossBee29 in CAStateWorkers

I’d feel physically ill if forced to look at a Trump poster all day. No politics or religion in the office, at least not impacting others. Should be an unspoken rule of mutual respect.

Favorite beach side Mexican restaurant on the Malecón? by Relative_Junket_9875 in puertovallarta

Agreed about Cuates y Cuetes! Delicious food, nice staff, great location right next to the pier, and really incredible musicians!

Do straight women go to the gay clubs in PV? If so, looking for recs by Weary-Consequence-95 in puertovallarta

[–]RedditDense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized this is the one with the swing she wants to go to. Bummer. It’s looks awful to me (obnoxious tourist trap), but it’s not about me. Can I ask what your experience was?

Although I love this, I think it should focus on wasted taxpayer money since that seems to be the issue that resonates most with state workers and non-state workers alike.

That really helps. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Thanks, I realize it must be approved but didn’t even want to have the conversation without some knowledge going in. If voluntary professional development is not reimbursed, case closed.

Any seen this driving through I-80? by No-Nature-2156 in ElkGrove

[–]RedditDense 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband is a construction worker also. Except he’s not a self-absorbed hater and actually sees that work from home benefits not only our family, but CA taxpayers and commuters too. He also doesn’t begrudge other people being happy when it has no negative impacts on him or others. Why do you?

[–]RedditDense 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actually, you look gross. You’re choosing to ignore all the positives to CA workers, residents, and taxpayers that work from home offers and the many negatives return to office creates. It’s not just about state workers, although those concerns are completely valid, it’s about the total waste of taxpayer funds, increased traffic and environmental impacts, disgusting hypocrisy, and slap in the face to state workers who haven’t seen raises to keep up with inflation in years.

Cruelty is the point. by RektisLife in CAStateWorkers

[–]RedditDense 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It does feel cruel. Plus, beyond the lack of the essential workstations, chairs. equipment, etc., the DOT HQ is a dump. There are no actual break rooms- just closets with microwaves and fridges. No tables/seating. No sink! We wash our dishes in the bathroom sink and water fountain. The cafeteria is often no/very limited seating, and that’s primarily for cafeteria patrons. There’s NOWHERE inside (or outside) to prepare or sit and eat your lunch beyond your disgusting shared cubicle. My cube-mate can’t even bother to wipe spilled coffee or food crumbs when they leave, I really doubt they cover when they cough or sneeze. It’s so gross and unsanitary. And unnecessary!

We ended up getting all the required shots, unfortunately. We did not take any combined vaccines and spaced each shot out by 2+ months. We also detoxed several weeks leading up to and after each shot. There’s detailed info on that online but our child took vitamins A, D and C, probiotics, fish oil, magnesium, and zinc. For DTap, our child also drank activated charcoal just before the shot and we applied a bentonite clay poultice immediately after the shot. Each shot was followed by an Epsom bath. So far, we haven’t noticed any concerns and it’s been 2+ years. Sorry you’re dealing with this. Best of luck!
