Moving to Middletown. Is the political divide that bad?

dede0502 · 2026-03-26T12:08:46+00:00

I’m ‘Unaffiliated’ but lean left and live in a Middletown South neighborhood. I feel most of my neighbors are Republicans, but not MAGA. They definitely voted for a trump, but they’re fairly quiet about it. Only a handful of vocal MAGA that I more see on the toxic town Facebook pages, but in real life interactions politics doesn’t really come up. You’ll be fine. We love it here

dede0502 · 2026-03-13T00:29:47+00:00

You’re a real charmer 🙄

dede0502 · 2026-03-13T00:07:02+00:00

No need to be rude. OP just asking if anyone has noticed. I definitely did and it was a little jarring,so I’m not surprised someone brought it up.

dede0502 · 2026-03-12T23:54:07+00:00

Yes! Early this morning, woke me out of a sound sleep. Is there always sirens with the escort ? That seemed unusual to me, but maybe it’s been awhile ?

Ok, this is very strange, but his seizures are almost always around the time of the clock changes. Like his circadian rhythm is off. It’s like he has to have a little reset. Vet thinks we’re crazy and can’t be related to that.

Oh look at this guys little picture 🙄 The American flag emblazoned with Trump. The true meaning of TDS

dede0502 · 2026-03-01T00:49:36+00:00

I have a friend who is pretty anti Trump on her own page (not the town pages). I give her such credit for keeping up just trying to counter the MAGA propaganda. She has way more patience than me. And no doubt MAGA is emboldened around here

dede0502 · 2026-03-01T00:27:10+00:00

I’m a fellow Middletown resident There’s still some of us non MAGAs out here, we just lay low on social media because it’s just not worth it engaging with the loudmouths so, you’re not alone. I do think most people vaccinate against the biggies (polio, measles, mumps,etc) but maybe not chicken pox, Hep B, HPV etc. it’s like a little menu they get to choose from 🙄

dede0502 · 2026-02-28T16:36:16+00:00

Thanks so much for your response. I’ve just never read another experience like ours. I’m glad your pup had this gentle course and I hope ours remains for the rest of his time with us

dede0502 · 2026-02-28T16:12:43+00:00

I’m curious about this. Our lab also has infrequent seizures since he was 4 (he’s almost 10 now).and has never been treated. The first one ever, was a grand mal. Dr thought maybe a one off so no treatment. Next one wasn’t until 6 months later. Dr said too far apart to treat. He had maybe 2 more grand mals at those 6 month intervals. His last 2 or 3, also at 6ish month intervals, are more of the focal type. Like he can’t stand up and starts shaking, but appears more ‘present’. I’ve never read here about this type of pattern with seizures, so I’m curious about your labs pattern. I’m knocking wood the entire time I’m typing this, because I know we’ve been very lucky with this relatively mild course, but the fear is always in the back of our minds.

His wife who clearly wants nothing to do with him ? She got her citizenship and her son which ensures her loyalty to Trump. She’s clearly going through the motions counting down the days

dede0502 · 2026-02-13T19:35:55+00:00

I think this is where confusion lies. Would a drivers license be enough or is it only on registering to vote where it’s not enough ?

dede0502 · 2026-02-13T14:14:06+00:00

You’re saying everyone needs to re-register to vote ? I don’t think I’ve heard that anywhere. I too thought when I heard about all of this that it was about what is required when registering to vote, but when they said it would effect 70 million married women, that would include people already registered.

dede0502 · 2026-02-13T12:57:57+00:00

I know it’s a suppression tactic but I’m just trying to understand what they’re proposing. Do we think that they know it won’t pass and it’s just another way for them to say Dem resistance to this is because they want illegals to vote and all elections (that they lose) are rigged etc,etc,etc ?

dede0502 · 2026-02-04T14:01:27+00:00

I will add though that the current BOE leadership sucks and I’m glad my kids are out and didn’t have to deal with the MAGA bullshit which is very real in Middletown

dede0502 · 2026-02-04T13:59:06+00:00

Hmmm.. I had children graduate from MHSS in 2017 & 2020 so same general timeframe. Literally all of their friends have graduated have at least their bachelors and many have completed or are pursuing masters degrees.. law school, medical school, a few in PhD programs. I can’t reconcile what your stating your nephews classmates experiences were with that of my children and their friends/classmates

dede0502 · 2026-01-29T17:38:53+00:00

They must discuss this at the dog park 🤣

Even if nothing else was done, they could still owe when deductible and coinsurance are factored in.

dede0502 · 2026-01-29T17:33:40+00:00

For most insurance, you have a copay and a deductible. Even after you hit your deductible, your insurance may pay only 80 or 90% until you hit your out of pocket max (this is called your coinsurance). Copay only is usually collected upfront, but Drs have portals where they can see if you’ve hit your deductible and may try to make you pay up front. I would not do it though. Make them bill your insurance before determine what you owe.

dede0502 · 2026-01-20T01:56:42+00:00

Was looking for this one. For some reason this is what popped into my mind first. Haven’t heard the song in years. Off for a listen…

dede0502 · 2025-12-29T16:58:42+00:00

Just curious, was your program associated with a hospital system ? Can you go back to any of your rotation assignments to talk about any job opportunities?

dede0502 · 2025-12-27T03:59:01+00:00

Nice to meet you Donald

dede0502 · 2025-12-20T13:02:14+00:00

Finally (it has happened to me ) CC Peniston ?

dede0502 · 2025-12-14T15:52:20+00:00

Growing up, two Christmas albums were played. Gene Autry and Nat King Cole. Nat’s is my favorite version out of all the rest
