Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Sounds like my dad; he liked the nursing home.

different topic:
some of us have verrrry ungrateful LOs, verrry abusive LOs, who try to make us feel horrible, trample on us, try to destroy us, want us absolutely not to feel proud of ourselves.

While omicron appears to be not as dangerous, it spreads more easily, what will the next variant do? It could spread easily and cause more death.
Hard to believe we have been doing this for almost two years!
hug!!
wishing us all well! :)
regarding variants...corona...
since the beginning we've been told everything, and the opposite...
--masks don't help; they help; they don't help
--corona is not mutating, don't worry; corona is mutating, there are variants
--don't worry about the variants, you're vaccinated; worry about the variants, sometimes the vaccines don't work
--the vaccines are safe; the vaccines aren't safe (in norway, research is showing that the vaccines might be affecting many women's menstruation negatively); they're unsafe; they're safe...
the news changes constantly.
i think, trust your instinct.
pre-new-year hugs!!
bundle of joy :)
Last night our MN local news reported 6750 cases of covid with 48 deaths (that's less than 1% death rate and they don't report which variants did what).
We keep getting reports from my MIL's facility of staff testing positive but still no infections in the residents, thankfully.
Wishing all a healthy New Year filled with peace and joy!
Yesterday's local CBC coverage reports "726 patients with COVID-19 being treated in hospitals, up from 420 last Wednesday", also "There are 190 patients being treated for COVID-related illnesses in intensive care units, compared to 168 at the same time last week". Our government has once again slapped restrictions aimed to curtail outbreaks in long term care and other congregate settings. Many hospitals are also once again postponing elective surgeries as they prep for an influx of patients (and that means everything that isn't imminently life threatening). Sign, déjà vu.
Nephew #3 is currently isolating with minor symptoms, there is no testing capacity available but since he was in close contact with confirmed cases on Christmas day we all are certain it's covid, the first case in my family.
Sad to hear about Nephew #3 with symptoms. I know you were concerned for your nephews, and had warned them. When that anger that may start to brew gets hold of you, remember it is your heart that is hurting.
People are not thinking straight. They do not consider the earliest guidelines in 2020 because they are smarter and have rejected advice, made up their own
rules.
Early on in 2020, the chiropractor was taking temperatures before people could come in. Turned out, this was a good test, and they sent someone home who it turned out had Covid.
I guess it is me that is angry that these sad and scary things are happening beyond anyone's control. To the whole world, and close to home.
Wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year - peace, joy and love. 💖💙💛💚💜🧡🕊
Happy New Year!
That means he finally feels he is in a stable place in his life and career now, so double yay!
Strange landscape in Boulder County. 1,000 burnt homes now with several inches of snow on them and areas still smoldering.
