The numbers can not be believed. There are cases of double reporting. Also,
I personally know many people who went from negative to positive to
negative, never having any symptoms whatever. And people who never once
tested positive, but had all the symptoms. I believe very little that the
mainstream media reports. A traffic backup or a car wreck? Yes. I can see
the proof there. KIRO radio (our Covid source) is reporting that cases are
down. Even if it is 700 new cases, that's nothing. Snohomish county
encompasses a very large area
 
When I was younger, I was constantly sick. Cold, flu, ear and sinus
infections.
 
Then one day after we moved back to this area, that all stopped. I can't
remember the last time I had a cold. Angela and I had something that seemed
like flu but wasn't, that year that the 3D Miley Cyrus movie/concert was
showing. We were so sick, we didn't want to go, but my then husband insisted
as I'd purchased the tickets long prior and they were very expensive. The
Dr. finally put us on an an antibiotic three weeks into it and we got
better.
 
I have had two ear infections, both fungal in nature. Diabetics are prone to
those. And one case of pneumonia that was presumed to really be legionnaires
disease. I had been given an essential oil diffuser and I believe that the
oils were not pure. I tried it twice. Both times, it made my lungs hurt. So
I threw it and the oils out. Legionaries disease comes from water mist. Sure
it could have come from those misters in the grocery store but I'll bet you
dollars to donuts that it was from my gift.
 
In other words, I have a good immune system and no longer get things that
are going around. I'm taking the recommended turmeric, zinc and D3. I'm not
worried. I am still minimizing contact with lots of people. Such as going to
the grocery store. I will continue to get deliveries and walk into a store
only when need be. Our lockown is supposed to end on Jan. 4. We'll see.

You know what's funny in a sad sort of way? This post was made about food.
Wasn't me who veered. Many others took this to nasty land.
 
Soon it will all be a moot point as I highly doubt I'll put a news server on
my new computer. And the day I take this one offline will be soon.

Right. Personally I don't think the masks do a damned bit of good. One of my
Drs. said he found that people were wearing worn out ones with holes or even
poking holes in them so they could breathe better. I do wear them though.
Not going to risk being punched or shot at.

I never ever said I was on a severely limited budget. I am on fixed income.
And I certainly never said I was supporting a mooch.
 
The only person I ever called a mooch was a roommate from many years ago. He
even called himself that. He was very generous when he had money. He would
get me gifts then, like a very expensive orchid plant that I managed to kill
almost immediately. Or take me out for fancy dinners. The man was just no
good with money. He'd be generous, then have nothing. Got to where when we
(me and other friends) visited him, we'd bring food and drinks because he
never had any. He did lead a colorful lifestyle and was fun to be around, so
we just accepted that he was in fact a mooch, and we didn't see him very
often.

You don't have a news server. You have a client application. You're an
idiot.
 
Don't wait to go offline. Leave now. You're an idiot.

Please show proof where I said, "Severely limited budget" and "mooch".
 
My food tastes tend to run to the cheaper things, like beans and rice. Once
in a while I will buy expensive olives, butter or cheese or some kind of not
in season vegetable that is pricey. But most of my food choices, even when
dining out and someone else is paying for the meal, are cheap. I don't do
that because I have to. That's just what I want to eat.
 
I also almost always buy clearance clothing. I might make an exception for
some fancy event, but generally not. The way I dress is either Bohemian or
yoga pants and tunic.I pay little mind to what is "in". I know what I like
and I can almost always find it for a very good price.I have always been
this way with clothing. I just can't see paying $75 for a top when I can
find one I like just as well for $20.
 
I don't wear makeup. I don't think I need it. I do wear nail polish. I do
wear perfume. Some of my perfume *is* expensive. Some is not.
 
I don't wear expensive jewelry as I am good at losing it. But I might go all
out for a quality cat perch.
 
I don't deny myself things.

Those are just sifr jobs to make extra money. He as a full time job, M-F.
Just like you and I do surveys to make a little extra. I made $10 last night
in the form of an Amazon gift card.

The last guy wasn't even the guy with the cat allergy. But both of those two
put in zero effort as far as I'm concerned. The last one started out well,
giving me roses on our first date. If you can call it a date. We had to meet
in the Central Market parking lot as so much is closed here.
 
Would you continue on with a guy who dropped out of your life for three
months, then came back said, "You're probably pretty mad at me..." Or
another who you haven't seen in person for two months, makes no effort to
see you, but every 2-3 weeks, sends a "Wyd?" message. They've had enough
chances. Cat allergy guy is trying to get me back now. Nope. Don't need
that.
 
New guy made promises to me at the start and so far has kept all of them.
 
I know people here are going to make all sorts of things out of this.
Nothing I can do about that. That's the way you are.

Thus, in this context, Carol's statement about "younger generations"
doesn't really mean anything.

I found who I refer to as "The Three Amigos" on the Facebook dating app. D.
found me on Plenty Of Fish. I reactivated my account because I was bored and
thought I'd find someone to talk to. I did. A guy whose dad worked with my
dad. I found him to be boring though. Then D. contacted me. We met the next
day in a parking lot. Again, because so few places were open. We hit it off
right away. Lots of stuff in common. He has two cats. Great personality.
Makes me laugh. I make him laugh. Couldn't be better.
 
Yes, there is a pandemic but... People who are married or live with their
BF/GF can see their other half every day. Kind of un fair to the rest of us
who are supposed to stay home and see no one. I got sick of it. People
aren't meant to be hermits.

He's our first Russian assets president, and one that openly admires the dictators of regimes hostile to the United States. He's our first president to organize a coup against the United States. OTOH, he's the first president to use a coup against the U.S. as a scam to raise money to pay off his debts. He got some republicans to jump on the votergate scamwagon to raise money for their money needs. He also made a formally taboo word popular in the American vernacular, easily surpassing Roosevelt and his "Teddy" bear. My guess is that "pussy" will be his most enduring legacy. Like his bromance buddies, he enjoys killing people "just because he can." A lot of people would probably agree with his policy of executing murderers unfortunately, the prez will also pardon mass murderers too - just because he can.
The pres has also changed the landscape of the dissemination of information. Previously, getting caught in a lie while in public office would be shameful. After Trump, it ain't all that big a deal to continuously lie with every breath one takes. In the end, America is going to get everything it deserves. We are witness to no less than the end of the United States of America.

It's going to be interesting in 4 years. Will Americans, in their
understandable dislike of regular politicians, vote for a clown again?
And will it be an evil clown again?

Welcome back, Joan... I really missed you... I wish we can have some
Crystal Palace slurps together... and I got a fresh bag of lemons from
BJs today... and 16 lovely thick pork loin chops well trimmed, two
family packs for the freezer, already packed two in each zip loc. But
dinner tonight was big bowls of thick yellow pea soup with meat from
the Christmas ham bone, very good on a cold wet night... 22º now but
was warmer and raining earlier. We don't mind the fridgid weather
here, keeps the rifraf away... during winter we have no homeless trash
on the streets, not when it's -18º and lower.

It is still a light flavor but much better than the bland stuff. I had
it in Italy and was able to get it at a store in Providence but have not
seen it here.

Your friend, like you, is an idiot. Milk, citric acid, rennet. That's
it.
 
Fresh cheeses all have an underlying similarity. Paneer is very easy
to make. Well, it is if you're not an idiot, Droolie. That leaves you
