If ALL Live Matter...

 


WHY haven't you gotten your Covid-19 vaccination?  (And if you have you can skip this whole thing if you want...I won't be too disappointed.)

Vaccines work!  Yes, there is the miniscule possibility that it won't work for you.  Just like there is a one in a million (or more) chance that you will have a life altering reaction.  (I'm not talking about just getting sick with chills, fevers, aches, etc.)  I will not say that there is absolutely no risk in getting this vaccine (or any vaccine for that matter), but the odds are lower than low that you will.

Getting the vaccine protects YOU.  You are saving your own life.  Getting the vaccine protects your family, your friends and total strangers.  Getting the vaccine protects those who are unable to get one that this time; like children under the age of 12.  (Hopefully that will change because children really need to be protected.)  If you saw a child drowning, would you jump in a pool to save them?  If so, then why won't you get the vaccine?

If you are not willing to get the vaccine; if you ARE willing to risk your life and health and the lives and health of all those you come into contact with, then you are no friend of mine.  Friends do not put friends at risk.

Furthermore, if you refuse to get the vaccine, you cannot ever call yourself pro-life.  Allowing those around you the risk of illness and death, is not pro-life.  You are CHOOSING to risk the lives of everyone you come into contact with.  That is not pro-life.

No one is forcing you to get vaccinated.  The government is NOT mandating it.  The government and health care professionals (as well as myself; and I am NOT a healthcare professional) are encouraging you to get vaccinated.  They want to save lives; they want to protect ALL the people.  Why don't you?

Finally, if you are one of the rare people who cannot get vaccinated for medical reasons; know that you matter to me.  My entire family and I care enough to get vaccinated to try to keep you safe.  Because you can't, I will encourage all that CAN to do so.  Your life matters.  Your health matters.  YOU matter.

Please get vaccinated.  Safe a life.  Make ALL lives matter.

We Have Taken America Back

Image
Back to a time when all men (and women) are not created equal.  Where women's healthcare is determined by men's laws and not by medical professionals. Where education tells only the "winning" side of the story and truth does not matter.  Where banning and burning books is a social event.  Where people who are "different" than those in power can be mocked, shunned and hurt with no real consequences. Where lies are acceptable and integrity is  just a word on a page We have moved into a time where rage is the rage.  Where hate is not just normal, but accepted and even cheered. Where leaders can ask to have their "enemies" killed and no one will bat an eye.  Where it's "funny" to see someone struggle.  Where felony is applauded. Where compassion is not shown and caring for others is looked down upon. We have taken America back to a time of pain and suffering for many.  Back to when the "haves" can have and the have nots don'...

It's Not About Starbucks (or is it)?

Image
  About a block and a half from my home in a major intersection.  At the southeast corner (which is nearest to me), is an empty building.  Back in 1995 it was a Bank of NY (I remember this because they didn't shovel/de-ice their parking lot well and my husband fell and broke his ankle one Monday morning.  I recall this clearly because we were not yet married and it was the first day of a new job for me.  I had gotten on the bus to work and he was catching a later one; only he never got there.  Instead he ended up laying on the ground until an employee came to open up the bank.  Then he had them call an ambulance AND my mother who took control of the situation until I arrived home that night blissfully unaware of what had happened that day.)  It eventually became a Chase Bank; the second one in my small little town.  It eventually closed.  I'm not sure when but it's been empty for quite a long time.  (I do know that it was open in 20...

As Is

Image
  Today I want to discuss what I think it is a relatively simple concept, but may be difficult for some, even an attorney who might have once, over a decade ago won a  prestigious award  for young lawyers .  That term is "AS IS." As you may know, I volunteer in a thrift shop.  Everything we sell, from all the donations we receive, is "as is."  The items are not brand new.  They are not perfect.  That doesn't mean they aren't any good or worth something. They are sold "as is."  Buyers should go in knowing that. (After all you are shopping in a thrift shop!)  In some cases, particularly when we are offering higher end products, we will actually write on the price tag, "as is." Such is the case of two designer purses that I purchased from there this summer.  (I'm a purse-aholic!  Don't look in my closet.)  They were reasonably priced (especially when you consider the name brand), but each had an "as is" clearly marked o...
