I cant believe there are so many people who want to be the first to get the vaccine, the first are literally experiments, they already are talking about allergic reactions happening in the UK,, Id rather alot of people got it and some time went by to see whats really going on with this vaccine. Im more worried about getting the vaccine than covid tbh, I think i already had it and it was bad but not deadly for me at least but then again i may have had a more mild strain, thats possible..

That’s cool that you survived and all but think about how many people have been spreading it around because ppl are most contagious before and right after showing symptoms. That is why getting vaccinated is the responsible thing to do. Furthermore some people can get reinfected a second time.
Even the whole argument about wanting to see how it affects other ppl first still relies on mass vaccination so you can see if there are side effects.
We all live in society. Society doesn’t exist just to cater to your needs, or my needs. We are all in this together.

Just wanted to say that just bc you do get the vaccine doesn't mean you can't still spread it if you got it. I have been doing alot of reading on it. Im not getting one until I know its safe to. Until then Im avoiding ppl at all costs.
^^right I’m all for everyone else getting it if that’s what they wanna do with there bodies that’s there choice and it so happens that if most others get it, then Covid should be spread a lot a lot less so the risk is lower for those of us who don’t get it right away

What kind of cookies? This reminded me I need to do that...I think the local bakeries charge too much for holiday cookies.
I can't believe my boyfriend is skeptical about the Covid 19 vaccine. FFS!!!!!!! Like people we knew dropping dead from Covid is not enough to convince him of the vaccine's value. Geeeeeeez
Chocolate chip cookies with walnut, anise sugar cookies, and gingerbread cookies.

Have you ever tried making russian tea cakes (little shortbread cookies)? I failed badly the other night LOL I had everything correct except I didn't leave them in the oven long enough so had to throw them out :(

^ If I'm being honest here, I've been baking a lot of cookies lately. I'm trying to hold off on baking anymore because I have little self-control with desserts. It's my one vice since I have my kids here 24/7. I'm at the skinniest I've been in my non-pregnant, post kids life. I'm trying to stay that way, lol. I definitely plan on baking more cookies on Christmas Eve. :)
I'm not sure if you have an artificial or real tree, but if it's an artificial one, I recall having these things called Scentsicles and hanging them from the tree when I was a teen and it fills the room with tree scent. They're so awesome. Smells more Christmas-y!

My tabletop water fountain is below :P. Doesn't really match the modern look of my room but it had great reviews on amazon in terms of water sounds. One of the Cons of having these fountains is that they require distilled water you have to purchase or else it eventually shuts down over the years/algae/hard water stains. My large floor fountain needs 1 gallon of distilled water a day so that's 1 dollar a day on top of the 2 other water fountain machines. Currently have patchouli essential oil in my diffuser. Loving it. I wish it looked nicer where I could put it on my dresser but I'm here for a powerful scent and machine. Thinking about hiding the diffuser behind my bed because it's not cute lol. (Edit: Sorry if it sounds like I'm posting an amazon review bahaha. I still really enjoy these products LOL)

Do diffusers make a big difference? I drop scented oils in those little tea candles, they make pretty diffusers but if I can avoid having one more thing sitting around I’d like to. But if it makes a big difference I’d try it.

Nope! Some people (resellers) buy things on discount at TJMAXX or goodwill and resell them at a higher price online for a living. I don't do that but I had this dress worth 9 bucks I charged 25 bucks for online and shipping wasn't included. If they're willing to pay, let them :)!

Wasn't expecting it to be this powerfully scented. Sometimes I have to unplug it because it's too much. Candles and reed diffusers aren't as powerful (plus I did google research and candles/incense/reed diffusers are considered toxic to inhale)...Essential oil diffusers aren't. Don't want my pets to die on me with this stuff. My diffuser is on a 6 hour time release of essential oils (has different time settings). I'm really pleased with it releasing scent for that long.

You have to wash it with baking soda or something (obviously I didn't read the directions fully lol) every month or so when it gets nasty lol. Plain water ruins these machines. I had clunks of black algae/mold in my previous large water fountain from being lazy and only using hard water. Then the entire thing including the mirror had hard water stains I couldn't remove. Lesson learned! Distilled only.

You are too nice. If it was something like Lysol or TP, then yeah maybe I’d be concerned about charging too much. If someone’s willing to overpay that’s on them, and you are just doing business-it’s not personal.
I’m get ready to take my TEAS. Been studying from sun up to sun down.
Anyone know how to afford to go to college out of state? I think my best bet is a scholarship. My therapist and gosh even my hot doctor friend told me to move. So I’m going to look into it to at least see what my options are. My therapist is worried about me mental health if I stay. I’m one of those people that says if your miserable, “You’re not a tree, get up and leave.” I don’t feel sorry for people who stay in bad situations when they can do something about it. I’m super stressed. I don’t want to take a year of school and move. Well see if I even get accepted here. If I do I’ll probably stay (because what kind of idiot would I be if I dropped out) and if I don’t get accepted I’ll leave. I won’t have any regrets about throwing my education away. I’ll end up dying if I stay here without doing something to get me out.

I remember watching this video on a reseller making 60k a year reselling items like clothing online. I'm not down for that lifestyle but hell I wouldn't feel guilty. Most of the clothes aren't worth the price anyways. Remember watching this show on the shark tank. It cost 2.00 for these wooden sunglasses? and they were charging 200 or so per pair. I feel no guilt nowadays.

I'm so used to working a lot before Christmas. I miss dancing before Christmas. I also need my wisdom tooth pulled it has been bothering me. I have to have it done by a surgeon.I am taking antibiotic now. Hope to get it done soon . All this Vivirus stuff is so depressing. I hope to feel better soon .
I hope everyone else is feeling ok this year is tough.
