So how many pages would this thread be if socks hadn't mentioned having a cold? I'm going to say 3. It would have just been me talking about my CPAP woes. Not exactly the same entertainment value.

Weight does contribute to those things and you are more likely to have issues if you weigh more. It's not the only factor, but your chances are higher if you are over a certain weight. Yes, I know that, but they were 100% certain losing the weight would mean the GERD would go away. Sorry, docs. I defy your expectations. There are definitely healthcare providers who see someone they perceive as overweight and stop seeing anything else. It's a known phenomenon.

I have seen comments tossed angelashly's way that were far from head pats in regards to her wedding. I have made comments IRT I would love to be there but even if she were to invite me, I would decline because of my comfort level. I haven't and won't flame her but I have seen others less than thrilled with her choice as well. I don’t read every post but I haven’t seen anything even close to a flaming. I think that people have been kind and I have never seen it addressed directly to her. It’s a pandemic. A wedding in Maine made national news. If angelashly is comfortable with her plan, ok. But she can’t be surprised that people have opinions. Where did she say anything even close to that she was surprised?

angelashly I do apologize for snapping at your directly. You're right that you definitely didn't say anything like fuck yous or anything to me. I don't hate or dislike you and your wedding is your business and I hope it goes well with no hiccups. I planned a wedding in non covid times so I can't imagine. And I apologize for the honey it wasn’t a good look

Again I was flamed and I dropped the subject. I didn't dig in my heels and throw any insults or etc back to those who flamed me so yes I think that hers would be worse because of the way she would have handled it Also, if someone has shown bad judgement in other ways in the past, I think it makes sense to take that into account when considering the situation. What a crazy idea!!!! This thread is The Most.

You’re fired. Little piratecat will be doing the diagnosing from now on. Thanks. I don't think he would fall under CARES act so I can charge for his services right? Gotta stimulate the economy, piratecat!

My point was that she’s repeatedly said she’s been flamed and yet brought it up in this thread herself. I’m not sure what one would expect.

I'm still hung up on requiring employees to report to the office in a situation where they can all be in their offices with the doors closed And not interact. Why not just maintain remote work (provided that the jobs can be done remotely)? Air filtration and ventilation are major concerns and aren't addressed by closed doors.

The air ventilation system in my building on campus is why my boss has us working from home still and why it was approved

I cannot tell you which thread it was but there was one in which she declared she would just not mention her wedding at all anymore because of the push back she was getting. Sure nobody tossed out a fuck you but yes people did address their disapproval of her wedding directly with her. I remember this, but I also cannot recall the thread.

Because the “everyone picks on Olive and no one else” anthem had started up again.

I wish my company realized this. There is a reason why I wear my mask even in my cubical because of the aerosol transmission that disappeared from the CDC website. I hate that so many are just pushing to get back to normal if we stay 6’ apart.

kbw I don't disagree with you. But again, I don't think having symptoms that could potentially be covid and going into work (even with precautions) when there are (several!) feasible alternatives is the same as not having any symptoms and going out to eat with precautions. oh I agree on the precautions part 100% I just felt like it was taking another turn that was going to get ugly.
