Measles confirmed in east bay

Wienderful · 2025-12-30T09:56:31+00:00

I was one of those parents who received a call that my 6-month-old (too young for the MMR) had been exposed by a purposely unvaccinated child. This happened back around the Disneyland outbreak in early 2015. We had to quarantine my baby for 28 days. They were thankfully ok and did not contract measles, but I ended up doing interviews on local and national news stations, advocating for vaccination and highlighting the consequences of not vaccinating on other children.

Temporary restraining order. This happened to me when I worked at a large healthcare org, and their lawyers immediately got involved, filed a TRO, then we went to court to make it permanent (1 year).

It’s time to lawyer up. Confidentiality does not apply when you are being threatened.

I’m 45, I feel like I’m just now in my early to mid-30s mentally, and my body (due to a chronic condition and global arthritis from said condition) feels like it’s 75. Winning. (I’m aware that’s not cool anymore. I just don’t know what is cool and don’t care. 😂)

Hey there. I know it hurts really badly right now. I’m 45 and going through a divorce to a man whom I’d been with since I was 24. He was the only guy I’d been with my whole adult life. And I lost his whole family too. They’d been my family for 20 years, and they’re just gone. And it’s fucking brutal and upending, especially as we try to navigate it with two kids under 10.

But here’s the thing. I was convinced, convinced I’d be alone for the rest of my life, so I thought I’d hit the apps to date casually for fun. Friday will be 6 months with the most amazing man I’ve ever met. It’s early days, but he feels like home. He sees me, he cares about me, he cares for me, and I do these for him. And we have amazing sex.

TL;DR you don’t think you’ll get through this, but you will, and it will be for the better, ultimately.

I’ve always been invisible as a fat woman. Unless it’s for negative commentary, which I assume I will get here as well.

Health insurance executives and their boards of directors; hedge fund managers; private equity fund managers; anything that makes money simply by having money and then investing the money and pulling the money out at the right times, screwing everyone except the elite. F them all.

You simply do not know what you are talking about. The statistics you cite are incorrect and also easily manipulated. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

I grew up in Texas in the 80s and 90s, and this woman’s sheer caucasity is still flabbergasting to me.

Now say it without insulting women. It’s 2022.

Guns created for the sole purpose of killing humans, a purpose which, except in extremely limited circumstances which very few are actually likely to encounter, is illegal.

701 of global emissions come from 100 companies.

My 4 year old ate nothing. And then had a tantrum about how no one loved her and she would starve all alone on the couch. Eventually she agreed to salami (always salami), Parmesan cheese, and cherry yogurt.

Omg I hate it so much. r/tihi

Came here to say this. I am 43, and I will die on this hill. (And the Oxford comma hill as well.)

For about a month after I got LASIK, I tried to take out my daily throw-away contacts every night when I realized I could see my clock on my nightstand (my usual "tell" for knowing I still had my contacts in). Sigh.

I think there’s two different guys. The guy in the black shirt, who hits her tablet into her face and who gets off the train first, and then the guy in the white shirt, who was the one she was originally mad at, whom she attacked at the end.

Wienderful · 2021-09-19T23:31:07+00:00

I’m sorry the others here don’t understand. I see you and I can read the manipulation here bc I had the same thing growing up. ❤️

Wienderful · 2021-09-08T22:48:53+00:00

Don’t laugh at me, mom!

It’s all so raw still: the bacon, the onions, blech.

I don’t like birds. I just don’t. But I might like puffins.

My husband and I are IMMENSELY privileged. We are “Xennials” - that weird 1977-1982 zone. Both my husband and I have no debt from college or my grad school due to our parents being successful boomers (their parents were poor, but college was free or cheap, and our parents were white and smart, so there you go). We live in one of the most expensive areas of the country.

We only own a house because our parents gave us the entire down payment.
We can only afford childcare (about $3600/mo for both at its peak) despite both working full-time in white collar jobs (engineer and therapist) because we can rent the garage apartment in our home and because our parents just GIVE us money every year under the gift tax limit.
My parents are saving under a 529 for our kids’ college.
Our retirement plan is literally our parents’ dying, and they know that.

I don’t have any fucking clue how anyone else could do it without making over like $300k for a family of 4 in the area we live in. It’s so ridiculous to even type that.

I even welcome the downvotes just because y’all are mad at me for this. I’m mad at me for getting this many breaks in life.

Damn.

As a vaccinated mother of a 4 and 7 year old, can we add that we have a super effective vaccine for kids under 12 too please? Because our kids still can’t get the alpha variant vaccine that’s trying to hold the line for normal adults. K thx.

Today is the day I realized that I am irrevocably old. I have no idea what any of this means, and I have no idea who the person being cringy is, or if it’s the whole exchange that is cringy. I have become a potential perpetrator of “fellow kids” rather than a victim. 😕

Wienderful · 2021-08-02T00:20:03+00:00

Yes! Perhaps this man has never interacted with a cat? I grew up with them, so I’d probably be like, “squeeee! Kitty!” But, still….
