He hasn't gotten the rabies vaccine since the skunk incident, didn't react to that one at all. Reacted to the 5 way the following spring though... last year we did a 4 way and this year I just did the 3 way to see if splitting it up more would help.. Guess not 🙄

Well damn!

(also I love how you call it "the skunk incident" like it only happened once :laugh: )

Woken up last night to feverish baby (got up to 104F axillary temp on tylenol 🙁 ) and basically got no sleep last night. His fever is waxing and waning and he is a cranky baby. Also got the pleasure of taking him in for a nasal swab for COVID19 testing and I'm all paranoid now. 24-48 hrs for results. Hate all the uncertainty and just want my kiddo to feel better 🙁

Just to update, kiddo's fever broke and got results back today and they are negative which is a relief. In worse news though my husband's only remaining grandparent tested positive and is showing clinical signs. Just hoping she can recover, she has dementia and is in a care facility and is definitely in the age category of high risk.
 
Warning for a long rant ahead. I just really needed to vent. My state is starting to lift stay at home restrictions and open businesses back up-which I really don’t think is a great idea yet but that’s for another rant. So anyway we’re lifting some restrictions but now face coverings/masks are required if you’re interacting out in public. So businesses, workers, customers, anything public you have to wear a mask.



Everyone I’ve seen or heard thinks the face covering requirement is ridiculous, infringing on rights, why are we required now and not a month ago, etc. People are outright saying they won’t follow the requirements and they shouldn’t have to (and that if people are afraid they should just stay home and let others resume “normal life”). One of our local newspapers even interviewed someone that was still working and they said “I’m risking my health to keep working, and if that means I have to risk other people’s health too then so be it.”



I really want to knock some sense into these people! We’re in the middle of a pandemic. Officials aren’t trying to infringe on your rights, they’re trying to save as many lives as possible. These requirements won’t last forever, but for masks to actually help, we need as many people as possible to wear them. Seeing what’s happening in New York should be enough for people to realize how serious this is. Not taking this seriously is gonna lead to a repeat of the past month and losing all the progress we’ve made. I’m really expecting the state to get shut down again in a few weeks (if not sooner) because we see another spike in infections. I understand people are frustrated with everything going on, and not everyone has easy access to masks (though they said anything covering your mouth and nose will work like a t-shirt, bandanna, or paper towel). But not listening to recommendations or fighting them will only set us back even more and prolong this whole thing. For people to disregard not only their health but the health of everyone around them is unbelievable!



On a slight side note- seeing people protesting shutdowns and closures by gathering in groups and completely disregarding social distancing seems like a slap in the face to anyone in the healthcare field.



What’s everyone’s thoughts on required face coverings in public?

My only issue is that if they're going to require me to wear one in order to be in public at all then they should make sure masks are accessible.

I do not have a mask (though my mom allegedly was going to have a friend send me one) nor do I have a scarf or bandanna. I'm not sure how effective or practical the t-shirt/paper towel suggestions are.

As it is, right now I go out without a face covering. But I only go out for essentials and I maintain distance from people.

Did you tag me? Because sometimes I miss things if I'm not tagged.

But also it's possible I saw it but just didn't think I needed one at the time because as I said, my mom was allegedly having a friend send me one or two. That just ya know... has yet to actually happen.

Can anyone tell me how to make it so that Word doesnt jump all around when I'm trying to hand write on my Surface? I'll sometimes rest my hand on the screen to write and it will be fine; other times it jumps to the upper left corner and the blinky typey thing pops up as if it thinks I want to type something. Then my pen drags all over the notes and either writes through them, or grabs the notes I've written and drags them throughout the document. It's getting super annoying.
 
In regards to the mask thing, I am just not going into public. I have not left the house since March 17. I do have a mammogram scheduled for this afternoon, so I am going to have to suck it up and go. And wear a stupid mask. Actually, it is kinda cute, the material is a print of teapots. And they used the n95 interlining for it. however, my problem is that I get claustrophobic in it. and start hyperventilating. and then I get warm, and then I get hot flash. I hate wearing a mask!! Do any of ya'll have any tips/tricks for convincing your brain that you really can breath?

Type "pen settings" in to your tablet search bar.
Click on the best match, which should take you to your pen and ink settings in your system settings.
Click on the box that says "ignore touch input when I'm using my pen"

Voila!

This is the only pen setting I can find 🙁

Searching online for Word help directly from word has been impossible. They don't have my problem in FAQs, and then their "contact us" sends you back to the FAQs or tells you to contact your admin because only admins can contact Word help -_-

Hit the Windows key on your keyboard (or hit the Start button) and search for "pen settings", then make sure that the box for "ignore touch input when I'm using my pen" is checked.

It's actually a system setting within the Windows OS itself, not in Word.

It's a setting on your tablet generally not within Word. 🙂

Would any of you be willing to mail me a mask? My husband has an N95 that he lets me use and he uses...a cloth napkin :laugh: He looks like The Fiesta Bandit. I go back to work Friday and can hopefully just snag one of our usual surgery masks for repeat use but if people are willing to send one I’d love it. And I would pay you too if you’re selling them 🙂

I have a couple extra n95s if you want one. A great client gave me some at the beginning of all this since she was horrified that I didn't have a mask to wear in exam rooms. I probably can't mail until Friday/Saturday but I'm just a little north of Frederick if you want to pick one up off my doorstep.
 
I live in the 2nd hardest hit state (which is still under stay at home until further notice), most of my family is in NY, the part of my family in NJ just lost someone to covid, and one of our close family friends was recently diagnosed with cancer and is now immune compromised due to treatments. My fiance is furloughed/probably being laid off once the furlough ends, his parents arent working, Im not working. We cant even APPLY for a marriage license in our state right now. Yet my wedding venue has decided if I dont have a June 13 wedding, I need to pay a 8,500 penalty. And of course after weeks of trying to get in touch with them ignoring phone calls/emails they called this afternoon 15 minutes before a quiz, I got into a huge fight with my parents because they think the venue is actually being reasonable, and I definitely did way worse on the quiz because I was so upset. Is this semester/year/forseeable future over yet?

Hey,
Hoping I can maybe give you things to think about. Recently rescheduled mine. Was supposed to be May 16. Now postponed to hopefully late July. If we can have even 50 people we are doing it even if everyone's 6 ft apart with masks. We are still applying for a license and stuff which got approved today so we are still doing the paperwork portion even from thousands of miles away.
a) Is rescheduling an option even if it means 1+years out?I know a huge concern is money, but that's something to think about,that would buy you some time if that's even a possibility
b) If your venue is in one of the hardest hit states I know it's stressful, but playing the waiting game might be the best bet. Right now it's basically illegal to have a wedding. So there would be legal implications for getting out of contracts especially if it's a public health order violation, associated fines, etc and I can imagine only worse in harder hit areas. Might contact the AG in that state for more details and your rights. I know in my state the AG is forcing gym refunds-unsure on other things. Personally we decided to wait until ~2 weeks out to call it and everyone was super understanding and flexible because there's literally no option to have it now. When I talked to my people none of their June weddings had even contacted them yet-so maybe time is the key.
c) As far as applying for a marriage license I would call the local government office if you haven't yet. I know several states including NY have waived many of the usual requirements so you can still apply for a license.

You're always welcome to pm me 🙂 I also know there's some FB groups for this that might be helpful for you to join(I don't know of any specific ones) but I did hear of an old classmate talking about one the other day and her wedding is 150+ days out.
Good luck and as hard as it is try and focus on school and worry about the wedding after school is over for the summer if you can.

Not likely if there’s a pandemic clause in the contract. My friends contract with her venue has specifically a pandemic clause.

That's really surprising to me. Like, obviously if I think about it, a pandemic could break out at any time, but it's not something I'd really think about preparing for in this way (including a clause for it in contracts, for example) because pandemics on this scale are so rare.

Yeah it shocks me too but they’ve had everything nailed down since I think October or maybe even a bit earlier (for this coming October) and she said there is specifically a pandemic clause in it. No acts of god or pandemics will let you get money back or something like that. Clearly they have a THOROUGH lawyer writing up their contracts.
She hasn’t had to reschedule anything yet because she’s still hoping that we’re far enough out that it’ll work out still, but a different friend just rescheduled their November wedding for next May already.
 
Wow now I feel lucky that our wedding venue emailed us this week and asked us if we wanted to pick a back up date in case our date in July didn’t work out and they’re saving both dates for us. Our biggest concern about July is that my family wouldn’t be able to travel from California or my brother won’t be able to make it because he’s in the Navy and they already have a travel ban through the end of June
 
(*I know others have it way worse currently, but just kinda tired of it all*)
2020 can go jump off a cliff so far. COVID going on just makes everything worse. Parents being effected by the economic loss-potentially very drastically come Juneish. Meaning potential loss of health insurance. My work hours are also in the toilet. Put my CKD pup down 5 mo post diagnosis during a test heavy week with a final-I had just gotten to the point where I wasn't asking how her appetite was every other day, thought she was really going to make it til I came home again. Been having health issues with my other old lady so every time something new comes up it's a conversation of QOL I get to have with my parents. Wedding postponed-means I'm going to want to kill my inlaws for who knows how much longer. Very sweet people I knew dying within the last 2 weeks and not from COVID. Finally, did something to agitate my back just enough today to the point of me crawling around my house this evening so that's fun.
The second half of this year better kick butt to make up for a terrible first half is all... 🙁

Apparently here in MD/DC people are starting to report this kind of thing to their local business regulators. Price gouging and charging for things that cannot legally be used right now (like a gym membership for example). May be worth looking in to for your state.

Thanks so much for all the advice! 🙂 They said that if we reschedule that we lose the deposit we already paid and need to pay a brand new deposit for the new date. Also, the venue is also the caterer and the DJ (stipulated we have to use their DJ in the contract), and they never answered a single one of my e-mails about anything regarding food or music and almost never take calls. This is the first communication I've had from them since we signed the contract and I wouldn't even want to deal with them for another year. I honestly wanted to wait them out more, but my parents are pushing hard to just cancel now and resolve it since we all know it isn't going to be able to happen.

In terms of having it with a smaller guest list, between my parents and my fiancé's parents it would be a nightmare. Even trying to keep it to 100 has been a huge source of conflict. After both our parents were done inviting their family my fiancé and I each got to invite like 5 of our friends, and then his mother still invited an extra 20 people behind my back. It kind of has to be everyone or no one is invited because both of our parents play the "well, if they got to invite so and so, than I need to be able to invite this person too" game. Also, my parents made me ask my sister to be my maid of honor and she's literally been horrible about it the entire time, refused to get a dress, then refused to get it altered, repeatedly said she only agreed because she was afraid our family would judge her if she didn't do it, said she won't make any toasts or dance or even sit at the same table as me and my fiancé. Now she's said if we have something very small at the venue she won't attend and sign as a witness. Literally everything about this wedding has just been a miserable experience and emotional drain since we booked it back in October and I just don't even really want it anymore.

I also never wanted this venue, but my mom and his mom pushed for it because they're both gullible and think that just because a sales person is nice to them, they're best friends. 😡 I just want to elope and be done with it when we can get a license at this point. I know NY and some other states are doing online marriage licenses and our governor said he'd look into it about a week ago, but he hasn't done anything about that yet so we're sort of SOL there. When the stay at home started one of the biggest compliance issues in my state was people still trying to have weddings/having huge backyard gatherings for a wedding even if the venue was shut so I think he's reluctant to allow for marriage licenses because of that.

Unfortunately, I don't think we can legally challenge it unless we're still under a stay at home order in June. And our governor is absolutely refusing to give any indication of a time-line or even which types of businesses will be allowed to open first which is working in our venue's favor. Because they can say "well, maybe the stay at home will be over by June and we're operating under that assumption".

Yeah...our venue's contract doesn't leave much room for exceptions. I think the only hope would be if they can't legally be open at the time of the wedding.

Is it possible to get a telemedicine appointment? I’ve bulged a disc twice and this was me with the whole crawling around thing. Pred and a muscle relaxer (plus PT) helped me both times.
Sorry you’re going though a ton of **** during this really ****ty time 🙁
 
God, I'm petty as all hell and would have no hesitation blasting that venue on Google reviews, Facebook, the local news, literally whatever I could get my hands on.

Also I'm sorry you have absolutely no family in your corner for planning. My family is a hot mess and I think I would literally keel over dead if I had to plan a wedding with them, doubly so if I had a fiance whose family was even a tenth of the strength of mine.
 
@Elkhart
Speaking as someone who works on the other side of that, yeah that's super frustrating. One guess might be that their distributor is having a hard time getting it (and thus the "shortage" would be localized to just that chain). My chain has gone through this in the past, including with that medication. Or it could be an issue with hours allotted vs. hours needed. If state law and your insurance allow, transferring the prescription to a different chain may fix the issue.

Not sure if you're filling at a chain or what chain that is, but if it's [redacted], when the automated system starts talking, dial 8005# and it should connect you straight to the pharmacy. Then at least you can get a live person to explain what's going on.

That was a thought of mine, as well. I was able to get a representative online who checked it out. Turns out that it wasn't a supply issue; per the pharmacist, it's too early to be refilled (they say that I can't refill until 05/02 which... I mean, at least that is the day I'd take it next so it's not that big of a deal). Slightly annoying, but I get it.

I do feel better knowing it's just that versus some bigger issue, though.

I fully support your eloping plan. If either of our families was acting like this, Future Mr. Bats and I would have seriously considered it

Thanks so much for all the advice! 🙂 They said that if we reschedule that we lose the deposit we already paid and need to pay a brand new deposit for the new date. Also, the venue is also the caterer and the DJ (stipulated we have to use their DJ in the contract), and they never answered a single one of my e-mails about anything regarding food or music and almost never take calls. This is the first communication I've had from them since we signed the contract and I wouldn't even want to deal with them for another year. I honestly wanted to wait them out more, but my parents are pushing hard to just cancel now and resolve it since we all know it isn't going to be able to happen.

In terms of having it with a smaller guest list, between my parents and my fiancé's parents it would be a nightmare. Even trying to keep it to 100 has been a huge source of conflict. After both our parents were done inviting their family my fiancé and I each got to invite like 5 of our friends, and then his mother still invited an extra 20 people behind my back. It kind of has to be everyone or no one is invited because both of our parents play the "well, if they got to invite so and so, than I need to be able to invite this person too" game. Also, my parents made me ask my sister to be my maid of honor and she's literally been horrible about it the entire time, refused to get a dress, then refused to get it altered, repeatedly said she only agreed because she was afraid our family would judge her if she didn't do it, said she won't make any toasts or dance or even sit at the same table as me and my fiancé. Now she's said if we have something very small at the venue she won't attend and sign as a witness. Literally everything about this wedding has just been a miserable experience and emotional drain since we booked it back in October and I just don't even really want it anymore.

I also never wanted this venue, but my mom and his mom pushed for it because they're both gullible and think that just because a sales person is nice to them, they're best friends. 😡 I just want to elope and be done with it when we can get a license at this point. I know NY and some other states are doing online marriage licenses and our governor said he'd look into it about a week ago, but he hasn't done anything about that yet so we're sort of SOL there. When the stay at home started one of the biggest compliance issues in my state was people still trying to have weddings/having huge backyard gatherings for a wedding even if the venue was shut so I think he's reluctant to allow for marriage licenses because of that.



Unfortunately, I don't think we can legally challenge it unless we're still under a stay at home order in June. And our governor is absolutely refusing to give any indication of a time-line or even which types of businesses will be allowed to open first which is working in our venue's favor. Because they can say "well, maybe the stay at home will be over by June and we're operating under that assumption".


Yeah...our venue's contract doesn't leave much room for exceptions. I think the only hope would be if they can't legally be open at the time of the wedding.

Shame on them for being absolute jerks...I wouldnt let them get away with that. They know very well that having a wedding right now is nearly-impossible. At the very least they should allow you to apply your deposit to a future date.

“No” is an amazing sentence, and life gets so much better when you can say it without backing down.
