ttbn,

Again, Thank You for your concern, and for
telling me what I need.

I will give it all the consideration it deserves.

Steele,
The Gold Standard was a catastrophic economic policy. I'd say NSW resembles it pretty well.

Getting back on topic, I really appreciate this one:

Here's a few more jokes from the web:

1) Finland has just closed its borders. You know what
that means. No one will be crossing the finish line.

2) The grocery stores in France look like tornadoes
hit them. All that's left is de brie.

3) A decade ago you would cough to cover up a fart.
Now with COVID-19, you fart to cover up a cough.

4) Did you hear the joke about the germ?
Never mind, I don't want to spread it around.

Steele,

Fortunately I had no reaction at all from the first jab, yet to have the second.
I’m on blood thinners as well, Warfrin in my case because of DVT, but the doctor, with whom I discussed it, said that I should be OK regarding clotting; it’s, as you say, always best to ask about things.

Speaking of needles, as recruits in the army we had lots of shots and some were multiple, I had one of these ‘cocktails’ and as I walked down the corridor to the exit door the corridor got longer and longer but I eventually reached the door and heard a voice say “Catch him!”,then I came to propped up against a gum tree.

Yes Is Mise, we had the same in the navy. It must have been 1958 we had a rush of them. The smallpox one was the worst. We did find it interesting that it always was the biggest blokes who passed out after the needle.

It wasn't funny either. Keeping tradition the navy had us sleeping in hammocks during our early training. After that smallpox thing in the shoulder it was extremely painful to lift your arm. Our hammocks were swung from bars, 7'6" above the floor, requiring you to reach up to these bars & draw yourself up to swing into the hammock.

One found a set of 3'6" high steps which help greatly. One each night was detailed to move the steps for everyone, & help as required, having to manage alone as the last.

Foxy I understand your Lasix tablets problem. I am on a diabetes watch due to being on prednisone. They have me on a tablet that makes me extremely thirsty, & pee a lot, & the requirement is almost instant & extremely strong. This flushes the sugar evidently so I can't just stop them if I don't want to develop diabetes. Ah the joys of life.

- Holy Crap -

Slightly off-topic, but important enough

I don't watch a lot of news lately, too much Covid;
I've gone off my politics and conspiracy type stuff on youtube for a while as well.
- But I just watched something that I just have to share.

Rand Paul Vs Dr Fauci: Exchange Goes Nuclear
http://youtu.be/RVUNyLMo7mo

Watch it everyone, you'll all see for yourself that which I tried to tell you all a year ago.

- That Fauci's NIH offshored their virus research to China, themselves FUNDING the Wuhan lab bat virus gain-of-function research.

- Watch that little garden gnome Fauci get accused of killing 4 million people -

It's nasty enough you kind of just HAVE to watch it.
