Sovietistan: Travels in Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan | Erika Fatland

#PSA If you had to postpone your annual mammogram due to Covid (like I did) then it‘s time to reschedule ( like I did💕) and here I sit waiting for my number to be called. Reading this book makes me realize how lucky I am to be given preemptive healthcare.

keithmalek This sounds fascinating. 4y

Hestapleton Same for your Pap smear! 4y

Megabooks Thanks for the reminder! 💜 4y

Cinfhen Book is FANTASTIC @keithmalek although it was originally published in Norwegian in 2014 and just translated into English in 2019 so some info is a little outdated 4y

Cinfhen Absolutely @Hestapleton !!!!! You‘re welcome @Megabooks 💜I feel like a lot of preventative care was sidetracked during Covid 4y

Scochrane26 I just got angry again about America‘s healthcare system while reading Caste. 4y

Cinfhen I MUST pick that book up @Scochrane26 4y

BarbaraBB My mother discovered cancer in an early stage thanks to a yearly mammogram. I am so grateful for preventive healthcare too. 4y

We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young: Ia Drang�The Battle That Changed the War in Vietnam | Harold G. Moore, Joseph L. Galloway

#PSA Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has been a part of my entire life. War is never romantic or beautiful. I wonder if we look at the concept of inherited trauma and think of all the history of war in this country is it any wonder so many people are hurt damaged or angry. I‘ve only watched this movie not read the book. #goodnightsaigon #wanderingjune #peace #semperfi #warisnotananswer

Cinfhen Such a beautiful post! If you have family members who served, Thank You ❤️ 5y

Chrissyreadit @Cinfhen you are sweet. My father was in Viet Nam. My husband in several wars and conflicts. My Brother just retired. I‘m angry at pro war machines, and false ideologies. The cost of war is infinite. 5y

Cinfhen I agree, but we still need to recognize the sacrifices these brave men & women undergo and the amount of courage it takes from the family as well. #WarIsNotTheAnswer but #HonorThesoldier (edited) 5y

Chrissyreadit @Cinfhen do they do a better job in Israel with veterans? Especially since everyone serves? Here the VA has not done a great job with treatment. I‘m very pro veteran- and do not believe any veteran or vets family should be in need. I knew wives who sold platelets to meet bills and many of our young families qualify for food stamps while serving. My nephew did not qualify for mental health services after being molested during my brothers deployment 5y

Cinfhen That‘s terrible @Chrissyreadit I‘m not 100% certain how good Israel is in regards to their vets. But I do know there are TONS of organizations who raise lots of money to help the families & those affected. Unfortunately in this country almost every single citizen has someone in their family who was directly impacted. For a young country they have seen plenty of conflicts 😥 5y

Chrissyreadit @Cinfhen I am sorry - I do become intense on this topic. It is one of High emotions. But I absolutely honor and respect the sacrifices made by our soldiers and their families. 5y

Chrissyreadit @Cinfhen one of my first pen pals was from Israel. We lost touch during her turn serving in the military. I have wondered what it looks like for a nation with mandatory service. 5y

Cinfhen It‘s a strange concept. We are currently living here as temporary residents ~ we have not become citizens so my son who is turning 18 in November does not have to serve. I can tell u it‘s complicated because as much as I don‘t want to have a child in the military, I feel a little guilty that my friends children are all serving and risking their lives daily and I sort of get a free pass. While most US kids are thinking of colleges kids here 👇🏼 5y

Cinfhen Are competing/ worrying about what units they will be assigned. It‘s mandatory for all kids 18 / male & female. Its huge amount of pressure on the kids to be placed in certain units. 5y

Chrissyreadit @Cinfhen I can appreciate the conflict and appreciate you sharing those thoughts. As an aside I wish I had the strength and skill for Krav maga 5y

Cinfhen Yes! Krav Maga is definitely kick ass!!!! 5y

A Public Service?: What's Wrong with the BBC, and What Needs to Change | Tom Mills

Just don‘t ever get this from Dunkin. I usually get caramel, but they were out. Just 🤢

#notaboutbooks #psa #publicserviceannouncement

Leftcoastzen Seems odd they were out. 6y

Megabooks @Leftcoastzen It‘s in a really bizarre part of town. The only thing around is a very small college. They regularly have a fair number of donuts in the afternoon. Plus it was a T-Mobile Tuesday freebie, so maybe a lot of people had come??? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y
