Honestly, I don't know how to explain it.

 

They are definitely more respectful of others even if they don't agree with wearing masks in a way that I find California is lacking it. Silent respect if you will. And even if they don't like it, they are not flancting their masklessness. They even enforce it on public transit. But for the most part I found it to be (depending on where I was at) evenly split between people who wore their masks and people who did not. The only time anyone questioned me wearing one was tonight when I was at the Stonewall Inn to honor my father and I danced her off the floor so that was a moot point.

 But seriously, I mentioned while I am vaccinated who is to know if I have a thread that I am carrying. Better safe than sorry I told her. She just shrugged. 

 

I guess while defiant on one hand, I found that New Yorkers were respectful on the other hand in a way that I just don't feel Cali has been as of late.

Federal employees have until November 22nd to be fully vaccinated. At my job we were told that in earlier October. We have to sign a document and show proof of having a vaccination card, either let our bosses photocopy or provide a photocopy of itself by this week. On the document we signed in October it stated if you don't have the vaccine by the November 22nd you will have to retire or resign.

I think I have at least one co-worker who isn't vaccinated and may not intend to get vaccinated. I had a few others who spoke out against it, and one who seemed scared to take it. But I think they may have changed their minds. You might see several job openings popping up after this deadline approaches. There are federal employees who are scrounging around to try and see if they can get a medical or religious exemption (I think that most may actually try and obtain a religious exemption). But I don't see that working for most of them.  If so vaccinated people can apply for jobs at usajobs.gov. Federal jobs have a lot of good benefits including a generous leave, and a pension.

Also, I found out that from a co-worker that I am eligible for a booster due to my job (we deal with a lot of military personnel/high exposure.) I will look to get that a couple/few weeks from now, I just got my flu shot on Saturday and will have to wait a bit until I can get a booster.

Also, I'm glad to see Ponds got her booster.

    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
    • That's a great point. I wish the writing could find those nuances.
    • After all Lulu's been through with her coma and missing years I can get her being on the sensitive side especially when talking to her mother.  I was thinking it was more a culmination of everything than just this one particular problem. 
    • I see her moral dilemma, too, and I don't think Lulu was out of line. I just felt it was overboard for her to break down in tears over her dilemma.
    • I also think the fact Lulu chose abortion and Brook Lynn chose to give a baby up for adoption instead when they were in similar situations adds another layer to this.  The writing doesn't really state this, but I can see Lulu slightly spiraling about thinking she could have an adult child out there if she made a different choice.  Both woman made the right choices for themselves at the time, but I can see both making parallels to their decisions.
    • SO good!  I agree. Classic soap opera and it was a cliffhanger I've been craving for weeks now.  First time in a while that I can't wait for tomorrow's episode!
