Feel obligated to add that the HPV virus also causes oropharyngeal (throat) cancer. Which the vaccine will also prevent! 🙌🏻

Next to people whose leafing strategy is to just, not. Then watch them blow onto everyone else’s yard.

It’s less admittedly less dangerous than an icy sidewalk, so maybe just 5 to 15 rather than life.

Very cool

My daughter,13, once wore a classy knee-length dress, with sleeves, featuring a wee cut out of her midriff to a fancy class party. The slut-shaming from the mean girls, AND THEIR MOMS, was scarring.
The fraught is real. To intervene, or not, is unclear.
Hang in there, mama.
Standing with you.

Ours went UP $1,400 a month.
To $3,285. EACH month.
Before deductibles.
Granted we are 61,60.
Solo professional practice.
So long discretionary spending.
Who can afford this?
Employer based coverage must end.
Esp b/c they eliminate older workers.
We need universal coverage. Medicare for all!

I’m just here to request a follow up post after the soup! ☺️

From $1886 to $3215 for 2. A MONTH. Just for premiums. B/4 deductibles.

Hubs department was outsourced after 18 years. Try getting new job at 58.
Went solo. Doing well! But how do entrepreneurs succeed w/ these costs?

Beyond loss of coverage, costs eat ALL disposable income.
MEDICARE FOR ALL!

Nope. You’re not crazy!
Like $7 for a family size box of cereal? What??
My only recourse has been to buy as much of my list from Aldi as I can.
Also bitterly and with all the reluctance in my soul I use the apps to “clip” the extra coupons.
Hang in there. 👊🏻

Ending ACA subsidies will be is like shutting down spending for a large portion of the middle class.

Such an important point.
But that ripple of austerity won’t show for some time

Hubs & I can “afford” to pay our $3,218/mo premium b/c we *have* to (cancer and other)

RIP my savings account-holding on until Medicare

FOR SURE discretionary spend will be zero

My heart breaks for those who can’t 💔

That’s so cool! TIL that our earliest sunset, at 4:38, lasts for TEN DAYS 😳
Delaware has to hold on until the 12th for it to start being later.
Great post! TY

I actually DO find that interesting!
Haven’t been able to find Novavax here in southern DE.

But DE is all chicken farms!
Scrapple is pork 🤷🏼‍♀️

Delaware is…a slice of spam? A Belvita cookie?
