I've heard there's 'no such thing as a stupid question'... but...
I've prolly had the flu 50 or 60 times during my working career, but before 2021 I never heard of anyone getting fired for simply catching the flu...

After 3 attempts to get to a location for new car license plates, I finally got that done. They had moved all the offices and the online version was not looking too good. So I finally found a location that use to be a restaurant. The deed is done and on the car.
In Ohio, it used to be whenever the political party of the governor changed, it also changed who got to sell license plates... now it's just a matter of who will work for that small amount of money, I suspect...

I know people who got fired for getting the flu here. Walmart is particularly bad about it. They fire people for medical conditions that should be covered under the FMLA but in order to get that enforced requires a lawyer and if someone can't afford a lawyer they are screwed. Also, Covid is not the same as the flu. It killed a lot of people in my area.
Went to Samsclub but they were out of 3 of the main things on our list.
Also stopped at the Chinese place and got good food. I had watermelon for dessert.

In every State I have lived in, it's at the County Government office. From giant Counties to towns with one stoplight, it has always been at the County seat. Sometimes a Courthouse, sometimes not, but never at the former Wax Wash Diner and Gas.

Sorry, Z... Covid is a Media and Government on both sides Monster. It killed a lot of people with Pre Existing conditions, especially in Liberal run cities where they forced Covid positive people into Nursing Homes. That's not speculation, that's Governor Cuomo and other ruthless Governors verified. They killed Thousands of Nursing Home patients.
Everybody else pretty much has immunity now after a Flu or Cold like period. As somebody with a huge pre existing condition, granted I'm not 85, I killed it off with Vitamin C.
I believe everything you say about Wally World, they are horrible slave masters. They have always been. A very good buddy of mine that I have known since we were Tadpoles and served in War with had an absolute Cherry job as a WM Store Manager after our tour. It was like 7G's a Month... He quit when he saw how bad it was and what he was expected to enforce on the peasant employees.
For those that don't know, those ticked off ain't my day employees at WM are probably regular nice people outside of that H hole. Just sayin, I have proof from someone I literally trust with my Life... But not my Money or my Wife!
Covid is just the flu pumped up by Democrats to make $$Trillions for the shots makers that donate to them and destroy Trump's Best Economy Ever... the flu has always pushed people through death's door that were already at it...

Considering a new bicycle. Does anyone have experience with shaft or belt drive? I have a derailleur mountain bike and like neither the derailleur nor the riding position. I would like to try an old school upright bike but with hub gearing (more than 3 speed) and coaster brake but with shaft or belt drive. Local shops only have derailleur shifting so there is nothing to test ride.
I use Facebook because I have family and friends spread all over the globe. My high school class uses it for contact for reunions. My granddaughter sends me pictures on Facebook of my great grandkids that I can save to my computer and print out anytime.

I have friends in the medical field who saw young healthy people with no preexisting conditions die from Covid. But a lot of people still died regardless of their prior health status. I'm not going to argue more on it so we will have to agree to disagree.
FB is good for keeping in touch, but it is also makes people vulnerable to cybersnooping. FB's phone app accessed just about all data on cellphones-- text messages (not within messenger), call logs, banking info, photos, private docs, etc. And then they sold it to various companies. Those companies used it to make profiles of people to target with specific ads.
Also, TikTok is straight up spyware.
Today is my friend's birthday. We brought him some $, bought him food, and hung out for a bit. His daughter said something that didn't make sense to me (I guess I don't have the same reference knowledge) that made him laugh for 5 minutes straight. Dogs were climbing all over me when I got home. They wanted to be held but they are too big to be held so they just knocked me over and laid down on me. They aren't big face lickers but they like to lick hands, arms, and legs.
On the way home we saw a guy with a flat. Stopped to see if he needed help. His spare was flat. He hopped in the back and drove him to his friend's house nearby and dropped him off so he could get help. It was too far for him to walk in his heat on an unpaved road with no sidewalks.

Trying not to screw things up worse
After dinner I took the kids on a walk to one of the adjacent brand new subdivisions. I was looking at the ugly complicated rooflines (that's right Eddie, they're ugly! Ugly, I tell you!) and while maybe there were ridge vents and soffit vents, there often weren't any other types visible. No box vents for example, and usually not even gable vents. I watched these houses get built as quickly as possible, with everything done just for looks and no regard for quality of either materials or design.

I know what you mean, the real thing doesn't go up fast. One of my dear friends is a master builder one of the original Ranneklev Brothers of Katonah, NY. His house is perfect and with every visit I spot a detail I missed before but the design is functional. He covered his deck and used three gables to keep the roof peaks low enough to harmonize with the overall design and be under upper story windows. He also has a tower room with a spectacular view. Sunsets from his deck are to die for. In today's market it's prolly worth $2 million.

The idea of Fascistbook is great, if it weren't Fascist and if it weren't controlled by the NSA... Why do you need a "clear" face shot to have an account? Because it's the NSA, that's why.
??????????? .... They have no picture of me and never asked for one...
Now the singles site I'm on, PoF dot com, insists on a head picture, if you have a picture at all, one isn't required, but they don't want boobs only or sex organ pictures... which is understandable...

Huh... I would say you're lucky if it was a worthy site, but they have apparently asked for that for a long time... The most hilarious line I have ever heard...
"Please upload a photo of yourself that clearly shows your face. We’ll check it and then permanently delete it from our servers"
HAHAHAHA... Fascistbook never deletes anything of course. And what are they going to check it against? The NSA Database? My picture isn't anywhere on the interwebben unless the States I have lived in have it for my DL's and the Military for my ID... Costco also.
I had FB when it first started for about 10 minutes and deleted my account because it was completely different from Myspace. They sent me emails for years after that saying "You haven't logged in for a while"... How do you know, since my account was deleted? Uh Huh.

The only picture they have is my profile picture, my dog.
I'm 74 and have had all 4 variations of Covid/flu, but no deadly nonworking shots, and am healthier now than before getting the latest flus... a drug cocktail they gave me for something else also accidentally cured the 9 years of ever worsening left hip pains I was having earlier. I wanted another hit or two of that drug cocktail to see if it would also cure my right hip pain from another cause earlier, but since it wasn't approved for that, even though it works, they wouldn't give it to me. So I had to wait another 10 months of pain for the right hip to cure on it's own... now I can run pain free for first time in years... just the bad back left...

That story is wrong. None of my family has ever been asked to submit a picture.
Think I've been on Facebook about 5 years... never went there much until after a class reunion and added some friends on there...
