You're right there are so many things that are not in control and it's not easy. It might not just be a thyroid issue that is causing it, but it doesn't help matters any. Many people have hashimoto's and are thin.

People who are overweight can't just suddenly start exercising it often causes severe injury.

I've got it free on my insurance, but I have read of stories where people haven't been able to get vaccinated.

Otherwise the CDC program providing free access ends in August 2024.

Some people can't get it because they don't have insurance and it is pretty expensive. So a family of four could wind up spending several hundreds of dollars if they can't afford the vaccine and there is no public support for it, or they don't know where to get help to pay for it in the United States.

The people that voted for her pay attention to media that isn't Fox News?

Noem also shot three elderly horses and one very hated "demon goat". She has never heard of humane euthanization, or rehoming and training for the dog. I think she expected the dog to just naturally not act like a dog. At 14 months old they are still puppies and in their adolescent phase. To make matters worse people witnessed her doing the killings, and then children got off of a school bus.

"...But Republican legislators continued to express doubt that someone would get in legal trouble for masking because of health concerns, saying law enforcement and prosecutors would use discretion on whether to charge someone. Newton said the bill focuses on criminalizing masks only for the purpose of concealing one's identity..."

I don't have faith that people would not get harassed or feel threatened by somebody because they are wearing a mask for health reasons. The law discourages mask use.

And she killed 3 horses. Because they were old.

... Ranting...Then she also slowly killed a goat. There was also three horses put down in one week. I don't know how that is acceptable that three horses have to get put down in one week. Horses got old. I don't know if she's took it into her own hands to kill the horses but most people who have old sick animals call a large animal vet to the property and humanely euthanize. They don't need to suffer in agony and get their brains blown out.

If a dog's behavior is intractable to where it is killing the neighbor's livestock then fix it so the dog is not roaming around off leash. A puppy needs to be trained. A dog needs training. A 14-month-old canine is still a puppy. Many dog breeds do not mature until they are 3 years old. She needed a trainer, to research training that breed, or rehome the dog. Goats are known to be ornery and mean, she should know these things before she gets farm animals.

Many breeds do not mature until they are close to 3 years old.

I'm 56, wear earplugs at night, and still hear an intermittent electrical noise. It's not a high-pitched whine, more like a low hum. I live in an apartment complex so it's likely the wiring. I have hyperacusis.

Something like this might work. They are kind of expensive, and some are better made than others, but they come in handy and maybe you could borrow one from somebody. A landscaping company might have something like this too that they use to get fruit off of trees, or maybe a fire department has something like it. Possibly a pond and aquarium store has some equipment that could work since they need nets and tools for plants and rocks, or tools used for feeding aquarium animals and fish. There are some home improvement stores that let you borrow tools or rent tools, shop vacs, long handled gutter cleaners or painting tools etc.
