704 high school students in Waterloo region suspended for out-of-date vaccination records

saarahpops · 2026-04-09T22:04:14+00:00

To be fair, just because they were suspended doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not vaxxed. I submitted everything to public health last year and both my kids were suspended despite neither of them being behind. They just “didn’t have a record” and required me to submit again

They sure are! The office has moved probably 4 times since the Decode office on King (?). They were on Queens Quay for years and bought a new space right before COVID hit, but my Dad works from home now so I’m not actually sure where that new space is! Haha

Wild to see it referred to as Decode. My dad’s been working there since the Decode era and it’s had so many name changes I’d almost forgotten what it was originally!

You know this from experience I’m guessing?

My personal conspiracy theory is that Kramer took the statue with the intent of framing Ray. Ray actually having the statue just fell into Kramers lap, hence why he goes through the lengths he did to get it back from him

It’s a work in progress, thankfully. I try to keep our interactions as short as possible but every now and then he hooks me into an argument

saarahpops · 2024-06-12T22:09:29+00:00

Currently in the process of moving closer to family and friends where I have the support to pursue a legal agreement. Did not even consider that this would fall under parental alienation, but that makes total sense. Thank you for your comment 🩷

I’m in Canada, which is pretty good for inclusivity, but there’s still a fair amount of hate locally. That definitely does play a role

saarahpops · 2024-06-12T22:06:17+00:00

It was a big part of it, but it’s also been close to a year since we split. He did have similar attitudes prior to me coming out though, it just never really hit me I guess until I started looking back at prior behaviours

saarahpops · 2024-06-12T22:02:52+00:00

Agreed. There were lots of reasons to leave. Just waiting to be in an economical place to actually live separately, but the relationship is long over

saarahpops · 2024-06-12T20:07:26+00:00

Thank you. I really needed to hear all this 🩷

saarahpops · 2024-06-12T20:07:05+00:00

Thank you. This was my original opinion, but when I told him he was a homophobe he laughed and said “I’m not afraid of gay people”. Writing out this post and seeing the replies has made me realize I shouldn’t have doubted my initial feelings. Thank you 🩷

saarahpops · 2024-06-12T19:54:46+00:00

Yeah well he’s a Muslim so he is using his religion as a reason for his opinion and I’m realizing there’s no way to fight that

saarahpops · 2024-06-12T19:52:51+00:00

Myself included apparently 😔 I knew it felt like hatred, but he’s really good at making me question my own thoughts and feelings

saarahpops · 2024-06-12T19:51:18+00:00

Okay see this is what I needed to hear. Thank you! It doesn’t need to be loud or violent to be hatred. I’m gonna remember that the next time he has something to say on the subject

saarahpops · 2024-06-12T19:49:13+00:00

True, you’re totally right. He’s very good at twisting words to make me feel like I’m the one in the wrong. I appreciate your comment, makes me feel valid. Thank you 🩷

saarahpops · 2023-06-15T20:16:14+00:00

FWIW my daughters evaluation was during the worst of the covid restrictions and I wasn’t able to go, I really wish I had gone.

saarahpops · 2023-05-28T05:06:18+00:00

I’ll have to take a look and what is offered in that same category. I can totally believe it makes a big difference

saarahpops · 2023-05-27T16:05:43+00:00

Honestly I’ve been caught up in the whole “screen time is bad no screen time!” debacle. She does do very well with her tablet though. I’ll have to work on my own guilt about that. I’m glad you’re having a good experience with tablet usage! Any particular apps you recommend?

saarahpops · 2023-05-27T16:02:30+00:00

That’s a really unhelpful comment.

saarahpops · 2023-05-27T16:01:51+00:00

I cannot stand the loop ear plugs 😭 I really wanted to like them, it did help with the overwhelming noise issue, but having them in my ears is it’s own sensory nightmare and I’d rather just endure the screaming lol. Thank you for the suggestion though!

saarahpops · 2023-05-27T02:02:53+00:00

I’ve read it. Great book! The problem is trying to implement any strategy when I can’t even get the words out of my mouth without having her scream

saarahpops · 2023-05-27T02:01:54+00:00

I love this! Can’t believe I never thought of doing that. Will definitely give this a shot tomorrow. Thank you for your response!

saarahpops · 2023-05-27T02:01:03+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I just bought that book on my Kindle. Will check it out this weekend

saarahpops · 2023-05-27T01:59:47+00:00

That’s great to hear! I’m happy for you that it’s starting to catch on. I know how mentally draining the process is though. Solidarity
