Boston express bus from Manchester to Boston, skip the commuter rail.

If you need to park/can’t get a ride to the Manchester bus station, then take the Boston Express bus outta Nashua, where there’s a free park & ride.

That reminds me- apparently there’s some subset of males who actually believe it’s “gay” to properly wipe and/or wash their asshole in general. So they refuse to do it, or to do it properly. Friend in nursing told me this before, and I thought he was exaggerating, but then I read more accounts of that from other people in the med profession. As if health literacy weren’t bad enough in this country without other biases thrown in. The combinations of ignorance and hate are endless.

Had to make a quick run into Walmart the other day for one item. Literally every couple of aisles were unmasked people with some sort of symptomatic URI. Lot of wet coughing fits. I haven’t heard anything like that in awhile. Curbside pickup for me for the rest of the winter.

Thanks! And hopefully someday, people will stop yelling at strangers about things that don’t even affect them (like immunocompromised people choosing to wear masks.. who gets mad at that?!).
Til then, best to just pretend you don’t hear them at all and get away from them ASAP.

In the Live Free And Die state, most people don’t care about the immunocompromised people’s safety, from what I’ve observed. They’ve “done their part,” or they just don’t process empathy well in general. Granted, that might be a sampling bias on my part.

But I mean, this stuff was common sense and common decency even pre-pandemic. Every dr office had mask stations for patients entering with respiratory symptoms. That’s been a thing for decades. This is all just to say, sorry in advance for downvotes and vitriol your very simple request may receive. As someone who also has a shit immune system, I feel the same way.

The most I can realistically ask of others is that they don’t give people like us grief over still masking up in public. If you’re unwilling to protect yourselves or consider us, fine. But ffs, leave us alone. At the very least. I’ve had people yell at me in the parking lot for wearing a mask to get groceries once a month. It sucks. In my case, I have a major surgery coming up I’ve been waiting years for. If I catch any respiratory infections at all between now and then, it will get cancelled, per hospital policy. I have to do what I’m doing. I would love to just be left alone. I don’t bother anyone else.
