same **** happens when I tell my mom I want to get the J&J vaccine. she's like "I really wouldn't get it if I were you, lots of people have died" like ma if it was that dangerous they would not administer it to students on campus so easily, I absolutely guarantee it. I'm signing up to get the vaccine probably this Sunday (forgot to mention, the university/public health dept. is distributing the vaccines) and she absolutely hates it but idc.
she also said yesterday "people have been getting really ill after the second dose" but the thing is the J&J vaccine is only one dose, but then she was like "YEAH THEY'LL TELL YOU THAT INITIALLY AND THEN AFTERWARD TELL YOU TO COME BACK FOR A SECOND DOSE" like is she really that ****ing paranoid about it?? I have no clue what kind of bs she's been reading on fb but she's driving me insane.
(she was prob also getting the vaccine confused with the other two vaccines, which do require two doses. but I know plenty of people, including multiple on this forum, who have gotten one of the two dose vaccines and they're perfectly fine)
I’m sorry nefNiece had to be picked up from school early because one of her friends tested positive for covid. They're actually one of our neighbors, so the kids were out playing together just yesterday too. Now everyone that's been in the house with her needs to be quarantined for 2 weeks. I'm not too bothered by that, I'm just bothered for my niece I guess. Imagine being 6, finally going back to school, not even finishing the day and you have to return home to online learning with the knowledge that you might get sick. Just a big oof.
I’m sorry nef. i hope she’ll be okay. that sounds so frustrating.
It’s absolutely disgusting what apartments charge. Especially considering how difficult it is to own a home these days.I’m trying to think if I want a nicer apartment that would be an almost scary percentage of my income, or sacrifice some amenities to save money. Lots of fun! /s

that’s awful. i’ll keep her in my thoughts - sending many good vibes your way!
So sorry to hear this. Your poor wee nieceNiece had to be picked up from school early because one of her friends tested positive for covid. They're actually one of our neighbors, so the kids were out playing together just yesterday too. Now everyone that's been in the house with her needs to be quarantined for 2 weeks.

Looking for a new apartment is stressful![]()
