I am going through my first in life experiences with unions now (FTR, I have always backed unions, just haven't had personal experience). I am encouraged by the things happening for unions and the rights we are fighting for, but it is new and scary for me at the same time.

The chicken pox discussion made me realize that although DD is vaccinated, since she had a rare mild breakthrough case, she may not be spared from shingles. Boo

This is good to know. I had chicken pox as a kid, but my DH didn't. I learned that he was vaccinated for it after pulling records for covid shots from our state in 2021. When we had DS, I always worried about the chicken pox issue and my mom told me all can be vaccinated now. After that I realized of course none of my nieces or nephews had the chicken pox as they were all older than my kiddo. Fond memories of having chicken pox as a child and I can't wrap my head around a country willingly putting kids through that. Has he been vaccinated? Getting chicken pox later in life can be pretty dangerous Yes luckily I learned DH was vaccinated for chicken pox thanks to covid . I was always so paranoid for him to get it. Him and his mom have selective memories.

I will never understand how elected officials are allowed to stay in office if they switch parties. Like, you were elected because of these policies and ideals, if you change your mind, you are not going with what your community wants and you should have to step down. Maybe that's an unpopular opinion, but it just doesn't make sense to me how you can basically go back on your word.

I've seen some speculation that maybe he is eyeing state wide office and thinks he can only win as a Republican so he's making the right noises to pave the way for that.

Even if that^^^ turns out to be true. It's shitty to do that to the voters who elected you to get a job done that is not whining about "virtue signaling."
Andplusalso, it makes me wonder if he was ever really left of center or if he only said he was to get elected mayor of such a large city and get his name out there for bigger races.

Not to mention the money people put towards his Dem campaign. Wonder who would have made it through the primary to be on the ballot for the dems if he would have been on the other ballot.

Aren't people suing the state rep that switched in NC? Hopefully that sets a good precedent for being required to return donations You should be forced to step down, but unfortunately I don't see that happening

My H had a golf tournament with the Guards yesterday, after they were done they went to a bar. Met up with them later and had a drink, but my TMJ has been so painful and I wanted to go home. A couple hours later after we left someone shot and killed two people at the bar. I’ve never been happier that my face hurt and we went home. People around here are insane, and now all these gun happy nuts are feeling justified. Edited to add I’m not the one I blocked out, I just felt bad putting her name out there, but his? Not so much

It's fucking ridiculous to be able to do a complete 180 in ideals after the people have made their choice on them. He can go get fucked.
