I considered just going in to the drugstore and getting another covid shot as a booster but I didn't...

Do what makes you feel comfortable. With all the jackasses refusing to get vaccinated, you need all the protection you can get and they will have more than they need.

How many of you can be single and happy

Barnie2years comments on Aug 13, 2021:

Define happy? I’m content, and compared to how unhappy I was in my marriages, I consider myself lucky to be single. At this point I can’t imagine subjecting myself to that kind of unhappiness again.

Obviously a black cat crossed Trump’s path, putting evil Democratic voodoo into The Orange Blob’s ascension to his rightful throne! 😂😂😂

These crazy conspiracy Right Wing minions are in postions to do harm across the country! The 2022 election will be a chaotic clown fest if they are not replaced before that.

Lucky only one died so far. Looks like they had pretty many people onboard.

She is very insightful for a Trump. Of course she is the daughter of the only son who couldn't fit into the evil empire and was shunned by his father (according to her book) for being too weak, who preferred the heartless Donald because he cheated and lied like his dad!

I had my routine check-up this morning and I appear to be in quite good health.

Several thing, and let me first say that you are to be congratulated on your healthy lifestyle and having lost that weight at that age, since it's harder I think the older you get: until you get sick like my dad did when he turned 80 and went from a five foot ten 250 pound guy to a bent over 5'9" guy who barely cleared 170lbs. I have hereditary high cholesterol. At it's highest was just under 700. The only time it has been under 200 was when I was on the Atkin's Diet for a couple of years, eating all those things you think cause high cholesterol and avoiding carbs. I had a total heart block at 57, having nothing to do with my cholesterol. It's an electrical problem between the two sections of the heart. I had my first pacemaker that year at 57. ion 2018 I had a V-fib that almost killed me, again an electrical problem and received my defibrillator pacemaker. I did have a few partially blocked arteries, but considering my cholesterol had been higher than 422 since I was in my 20's, I figure that wasn't too bad. I am probably about 30lbs overweight, haven't really exercised most of my life, had a sedentary job and sedentary hobbies for the largest part of my life, but doing well besides the heart issues. My sister was, like you, a exerciser, organic eater, never had high cholesterol that I know of, never had any heart problems, didn't smoke (I did for maybe a third of my life, but quit years ago) and is now dying of metastatic breast cancer. I believe genetics (there is no history of cancer in our immediate family) and luck can play just as important a part in longevity as lifestyle. If you are predisposed genetically various health issues you can aggravate them by lifestyle, but that by eating and enjoying will not necessarily do you in if you have a healthy constitution. Like so much in life, it's a roll of the genetic dice, mixed with some environmental causations. Extremes of healthy living or unhealthy living, or anything else really, can certainly throw a stick in the spokes, but not be the deciding factor. Up until my V-fib in 2018, I took one high blood pressure pill, and that was just to keep it under control enough to pass my CDL physical. Now I take three, BP, Statin and blood thinner. I will be 70 in January, legs are in great shape, don't have any real pain issues, rarely even take any kind of pain killer, rarely get sick, hardly missed a day of work when I was working.

In the Republican Party it's nothing more than a race to the bottom at this point. Those who are the wackiest draw the MAGA crowd and the others are afraid to upset them, it could be a threat to their own lives, not just their political lives.

Watched a PBS special on the underground ceramic army in China. They were so far ahead in so many areas than the west! Then they went to hell in a hand basket. Same with Persia, then Greek and Roman civilizations. Looking at the current US move to Trumpism, I’d say we are well on our way to being the next failed civilizations taken over by the thugs and knuckle draggers.
