Just told about all the people in the ICU, etc. Odd, on how they knew this for months and months, or like about a year and half now, they decide to come out with that info now?? Ontario is almost 80% vaccinated, or at least that is what we are told, so I assume, maybe, more of these important facts just might start leaking out?

The girlfriend is new, and seems to be leading him around by the nose (or some other body part). She is starting to call the shots around stuff that has a direct effect on my grandkids. I agree that some compassion is needed, but I'm a little frustrated today. I also think that recklessness is going to get someone sick, and that some common sense and extra care might have been nice. My daughter has wound up a single mother, because he chose to end the marriage while she was 5 months pregnant with their second daughter (long story). So she has wound up in a single parent household. He takes the kids every other weekend, gives her a chance to do some chores, and get a little down time. She works full time, mostly remote. This weekend, she will have the kids when she didn't expect to, and have to quarantine. Can't send them to daycare, so has to work while keeping up with the kids. If the kids get very sick, it will become very hard for her. Probably didn't need to happen. Sounds like a shitty situation. Hoping for the best for those kids and all involved.

It has been a challenge. They kids are doing well overall. There are days when I need to talk my wife off the ledge. She wants to call or text him, and give him some serious shit. Especially today. As much as I agree with her, I keep telling her that we need to back off. It only makes my daughters life harder, which the opposite of what we want. Its not always easy to take the long view, big picture attitude when she wants to go to his house and slash his tires (for starters...). We babysit when we can, spend some extra time with them to help out. I have fun with the grandkids, and try to make sure they have some good role models. Probably best thing we can do I think.

If it tastes delicious, I know I’m good. If it’s a bit off, I just add more TB sauce. I MAY BE A DOCTOR!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, thats because outside of LTC Homes in ontario, Covid isnt a thing. The hospitals were never busy at any point in time. I know many more people that have had problems or death after the vax than anyone from covid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 friends who are in the medical field with one being a nurse at a major Toronto hospital and they both would say the same thing if it didn't mean losing their jobs. My BIL's mother, who was perfectly healthy on a Friday received her shot and was gone early Tuesday morning. Cause of death? Natural causes or so my sister and BIL were told. We've been lied to since the beginning and we are still currently being lied to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 The county has stepped up covid protocols as we have been having a resurgence. Something like 650 kids out with covid in the school district just east of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA Contributing Member $poorsledder$ Posted September 18, 2021 USA Contributing Member Share Posted September 18, 2021 I work in a big manufacturing company, somewhere between 5-6k people. A lot have been home on there laptops during all this. I have been going in everyday, last year was tough in my area with covid. Lost 2 guys, contractor still home on oxygen for a long time, several went to hospital. This is just in my area, don’t know about others. Guy that works in different area that I sled with got over it in about a week recently, it’s still out there. I got the jabs and the company makes us wear a mask, I don’t know if this has helped but I’ll keep doing it till we get through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not find it odd that with millions and millions, supposedly, vaccinated, the numbers are still rising/going up like they did pre-vaccines?? I'm not sure when people are going to get it or see it but these vaccines, imo, are doing squat and very well could be leading to more cases instead of fewer ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
