I think m they are just snowflakes that melt at the slightest little bit of heat. Can you Imagine a pioneer woman, alone out on a prairy in the middle of nowhere, no electricity, no running water, no refrigerator, no conveniences at all. Practically, her husband off for weeks trying to hunt for food to ,eep them alive because theircrops failed, listening to these snowflakes today whining about ptsd because they are afraid to go back out I. Public without a mask on?

Thanks for the reminder:) In 1870, my GG Grandmother was 18 years old & living in Germany. I have photos of her with her parents and brother...the family owned a hotel and were obviously quite "well-off" judging from the clothing, jewelry, etc.

She fell in love with a young man who decided to be a "pioneer." He & his brother headed to the U.S.; & decided to settle in NW Iowa. Once he was settled, she followed, BY HERSELF...traveling across an ocean, then taking the train to Iowa. She lived in a sod home, until they could build a "wood" home. She had to learn how to work the land, preserve food, chop wood, sew clothing, etc. Not to mention...trading with their new Native American friends who lived just a few hundred yards from their home on a small pond.

All of this, while KNOWING she would never see her parents and brother again.

You are right. Stupid snowflakes.
