I'm not sure that I agree, I think the unity that happened after 9/11

was organic. I don't think we realized at that point it was important it just happened. Such a horrific thing hadn't happened to us in recent years. Perhaps since world war II? The unity was instinctual. Can't manufacture it. And the world was with us.. until Bush started a war.

But that was 20 years ago. Now Trump & GOP has ruined it all.

Covid Risk - The West

September 1, 2021

Please tell your elder loved ones to wear a mask and not be

around other people especially the unvaccinated for now.

No hyperbole

My vaccinated inlaws in their early 80s both contracted Covid. They have both had bad symptoms in and out of ER for weeks. Luckily my MIL seems to be recovering.

My FIL is in a hospital long term care center. He has a lung infection and he cannot walk. This morning he could not raise his arms. Yesterday he didn't know how to operate the remote. Based on what I read on Mayo, it will likely take months and months to recover, if he does.


No sympathy needed. Just hoping you will reach out to your own loved ones and warn them.

Anyone ever heard of or made tomato water?

Like the water ( not sauce) that accumulates in a bowl when you cut up fresh tomatoes and salt them? To me this juice is like a gift from the gods

A chef from Naples that has a restaurant near us makes a simple dressing which includes tomato water, and I am guessing vinegar and olive oil. I should call him to see if he'll tell me what else is in it.

Which came first the fireplace or the washer and dryer?

Oddest thing I've ever seen. Looking for a house in Connecticut

Bone chilling tweets from LaPlace. People

in attics with water rising. Elderly and adults and children - listing their addresses begging for help, for boats.

Hope like crazy water recedes asap.

Don't believe the bullshit that people who are vaccinated aren't getting really sick

Because they are. And if you are unlucky, you are sick in a a highly infected state and there are no beds. Be sick enough to be on a ventilator and you get a bed, for now.

In my county, 8% percent of the hospitalizations are vaccinated people. But 100% are still human beings who are getting sick alone andvare scared and may be dying.. I don't wish that in anybody.
