Now, K-12 schooling is mandatory—I'm talking about public schools, so all kids have to be enrolled. But preschool isn't compulsory... so maybe they could start requiring vaccinations there, if they even end up developing a vaccine specifically for kids that young.
Saw a report yesterday that Pfizer is moving into trials for infants 6 months and up... so I wouldn't be shocked to see this happening in a year or two.
As for schools? Nothing is off the table—they'll probably use some "preventing outbreaks" excuse to make it happen.
Not by any chance. I'm just worried they’ll start forcing this on us bit by bit—eventually making it a requirement just to get your kid into preschool or elementary school... and then we're really screwed
It’s fine—if we just keep our expectations low, there's nothing left to do but be pleasantly surprised 😬
so I'm hearing Rudimental is basically the replacement for Flo Rida
Olivia Wilson97 said:I'm getting a little worried about my urine test results...
I went in to get bloodwork done because of anemia (was taking Heferol for 3 months) and my iron jumped from 5 to 20 (range is 8-30)
While I was at it, I did a urine check too, and here’s what’s bugging me:
bacteria: quite a bit
leukocytes: 15-20
erythrocytes: 4-6
My doctor gave me a referral for an Abdominal Ultrasound to check my bladder, urinary tract, kidneys, and other organs
Because I can't stop overthinking—and while waiting for the ultrasound—I started digging through my old labs. Turns out, for about the last year, these tests have consistently shown elevated leukocytes (around 15-20) and erythrocytes (2-4, 4-6, etc.)
After some Googling, I found out leukocytes are a sign of inflammation (likely linked to the bacteria), so my doctor prescribed Sinersul Forte and sent me for a urine culture (still waiting on those results)
What really worries me are the erythrocytes—are these numbers something I should be seriously concerned about?
Also, is it possible the anemia is caused by blood loss through urine?
I know it's impossible to say for sure without the ultrasound, but I'm going to drive myself crazy searching online and worrying until I get it done....
Got the ultrasound done. Turns out I have kidney stones (sand) in my kidney.
Just putting this out there in case anyone else is dealing with similar questions—this is one possible scenario. 🙂
I'm getting a little worried about my urine results...
I went in for blood work because of anemia (was on Heferol for 3 months) and my iron levels jumped from 5 to 20 (normal range is 8-30)
While I was at it, I did a quick urine check, and here’s what’s bugging me:
Bacteria: quite a bit
White blood cells: 15-20
Red blood cells: 4-6
My doctor sent me for an abdominal ultrasound—bladder, urinary tract, kidneys, the whole works
Since I can't stop overthinking things (and while waiting for the scan), I started digging through my old lab reports. Turns out, for about the last year, I've consistently had elevated white blood cells (around 15-20) and red blood cells (ranging from 2-4 to 4-6, etc.)
Doing some digging online, I found out that white blood cells usually signal inflammation (likely due to the bacteria), so my doctor put me on Sinersul Forte and ordered a urine culture (still waiting on those results)
What’s really eating at me is the red blood cell count—are these numbers high enough to be seriously concerned about?
Also, is it possible that the anemia is actually caused by losing blood through my urine?
I know it's impossible to tell anything for sure without the ultrasound, but honestly, I'm going to lose my mind scrolling through medical sites and stressing out until I get this done...

It’s wild how just one single sperm out of a million basically decides everything about who that kid becomes.
That’s basically what goes down when you're hooking up.
Man, you clearly aren't getting it. I really don't have the energy to break it all down for you...
first off, why the hostility?
second, the woman is still pregnant.
so, she can travel if she wants—it doesn't matter how those sperm traveled at the moment of conception, because the baby hasn't even been born yet.
Rachel Ortiz33 said:So, if I’m reading this right, the old guy basically said even one tiny tweak can flip everything upside down. But they just went back to that beach and did the exact same thing—they were happy, holding hands, just vibing. It’s like they just wanted to relive that one perfect, carefree moment since they remembered it being so good.
I know, I know, it's a stretch, but you can't really nitpick a time travel flick. Those movies are always a total mess logic-wise anyway.
The real head-scratcher for me is why he can only go back to when the kid was born. Like, biology doesn't work like that. If you're messing with time, you'd need a cutoff date at least nine months earlier just to make sure nothing accidentally changes during conception.
Maybe it’s because he doesn't care about the biological specifics since he hasn't even met the kid yet.🤷
Need some advice—couldn't find a thread like this anywhere.
So, basically, I woke up the other day and tasted blood in my mouth. Spat it out, but wasn't coughing it up or anything.
Then it happened again the next afternoon.
Just a tiny amount of blood in my mouth—not from coughing, and it hasn't happened since.
I did a quick Google search, and most stuff points to coughing up blood (hemoptysis) and all these various illnesses linked to it... now I'm just sitting here wondering if that's what's happening or something else entirely. I don't think it's my teeth or gums or anything. 😕
Anyway, I need a reality check: do I just ignore this, or should I actually go see a doctor?
Great, but heavy. Definitely not your typical chill Sunday afternoon watch 😬
Santa Sangre is easily one of the best films I've ever seen
The thing is, we were looking at it from his side—where she just looked perfect through rose-colored glasses ☕
