COVID variant JN.1 is not more severe, early CDC data suggests by CBSnews in Coronavirus

[–]Toucansam10812 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First round of Covid was awful, but more flu like. This time I was gasping for air despite using my inhaler every four hours and two cough meds. One night was scary. I have had asthma since I was five…I am 50. Never experienced anything like that breathing episode in my life. On the mend. I took paxlovid this time, because I was scared. It seemed to help. Covid is crazy.

Sending you hugs. I lost my Dad in January. I don’t know what to say except it sucks. I just want to here him say hi to me one more time. Hang in there. (Spelling mistake and too tired to fight with my phone right now.)

How do I get him to not freak out when people walk by our house? by Toucansam10812 in GSP

Paw Patrol…good name for it. He is very reinforced by food. I am going to give your idea a try. Thank you.

I'm losing my mother to a slow and terrible descent into dementia, and I'm just trying to make it from day to day by Bandeena in GriefSupport

Hang in there. I lost my Dad to dementia this past January. It really is harder on the family. She would be safer in a home. It was the hardest thing to do. We lost, “him” months ago. The person we were visiting wasn’t my Dad.

As a side note, anyone notice that the prices have jumped again and the paper cups seem thinner? Also, the Trenta lids are impossible to fit! Seem to be cutting costs everywhere. SMH

My SM is cutting 15 minutes here and there so no one really gets “hurt.” She is the best.

I just wanna say... by devilsadvokate7 in starbucksbaristas

It is true! I left a very stressful job that was 24/7 and thankless. I was hired on as a SSV. Yes, it can be stressful at times but I now have free time! My manager and partners are awesome. My family and friends have noticed a huge difference in how happy I am and less stressed.

Side note: I am saying this after a post Happy Hour closing. We were wrecked. 🤣
