    Merry Christmas EC!

    I’ve been so busy with school. I plan to be done by May wherever I’m at.

    I sadly lost my beloved dog, Louie, aged 10, from heart failure on December 18th.

    For Christmas Day, I plan on having my grandparents, my boyfriend, and his family over.

    Could focus on friendships? Perhaps plan some activities or even try to meet new people? May help you to feel less alone. :slight_smile:

    Merry Christmas! Have a great day.

    Christmas isn’t as fun as it used to be. I know I’m an adult now and my favourite part of Christmas is buying and wrapping presents and not really receiving gifts. I don’t have the excitement I once had. When I was a child I threw up 3 Christmas mornings in a row due to anticipation. Part of my loss of excitement is I don’t have anything I’m waiting for, if I want something I’ll buy it. My birthday is in less than 2 weeks and then nothing to look forward to until next Christmas.
    Merry Christmas to all anyway.

    I hope you still had a good holiday and that you found some quiet time and spend time by yourself.

    .... being an introvert myself, I can relate. :slight_smile:

    For the most part that is correct however I've met people who have believed because it isn't 100% effective it isn't worth getting and sometimes feels like no amount of convincing will work.
    One dickhead I was getting annoyed at gave me bullshit about it being a government coverup and that it contains a tracking device. I was like 'they don't need to do that, with your phone and social media you're handing them the data on a silver platter, why go the extra effort'.

    So annoying, they read anti-vax literature which apparantly gives them more knowledge and critical thinking than someone who has spent almost a decade studying the science.

    "I just heard my nephew came out as gay... 6 weeks after getting the jab. It can't be coincidence".

    I actually read this on Twitter. This is the level of stupid we are dealing with nowadays.

    Seriously, it aint a Covid jab that's made her nephew gay... can't rule out jabs of different kind though! :wink:

    Sorry to hear about your dog. I'm sure it hurt a lot.

    Hope it hasn't ruined your Christmas.

    Found out today my 17yr old cousin is anti-vaxx. She was saying all the crazy things that I used to laugh at people saying before. I thought it was just the covid vaccine she had a problem with and that’s understandable because it’s fairly new and we don’t know enough about it. Then she was saying that when she was a child she was forced into getting vaccinated and she didn’t have a choice. I have no idea where she got this info and it’s worrying. She was mentioning how she didn’t want to put toxins into her body. I will gladly put toxins in my body if it means I won’t get seriously ill.

    And yet, there will be all sorts of food stuffs she eats and products she uses that will not be held anywhere close to the same standards. For the most part these people are just crazy.

    Heartbreaking to hear of death of Betty White weeks before her 100th birthday. Like all of the Golden Girls, she was a great friend and ally to the LGBTQ community.

    In 2010, she said:

    "I don't care who anybody sleeps with. If a couple has been together all that time - and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones - I think it's fine if they want to get married.
    "I don't know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don't worry about other people so much."
    "Gays love old ladies." :smile:

    What’s with all the fireworks this year?! I have never known so many going off at midnight and it’s woken me up.

    Happy New Year! :grin:

    I was shocked and heartbroken. Loved Betty White. I know she was 99, but I was counting on her to live to be well over 100. She gave an interview a few days before her death and talked about her good health. It must have been natural causes that got her.

    RIP Betty White!
