David probably has a ROKU or some such on his much-more elaborate system in his much-more exhaustive media room upstairs. Dunno what to do with it, though…
Night, y’all. I’ma try to get to sleep much earlier than usual so I can peel outa here way earlier than usual for me.
Getting about bedtime out here. I do feel for all the infirm out there, many with these awful diseases. I hope that all of you have a good evening now. I’m off to the eye doc early in the AM, but I’ll try to post a wake up message before I leave if I have time.
Eldest Sis released info to the family today. I’ve known for several weeks but promised I’d remain mum until she was ready. She has one daughter who had 3 sons. One survived leukemia in childhood, and now her 30 year old oldest son had been diagnosed with Burkitt’s lymphoma. From her message… He had a swelling on one side… Read more »
TexMo – just click your heels together, like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, and say “there’s no place like home… there’s NO place LIKE home… there’s NO PLACE LIKE HOME” and WHOOSH… Seriously, prayin’ you do get to sleep under your own roof tomorrow 🙂
All signs point to an escape tomorrow. I’ve had another issue come up, but hopefully that will not preclude me from going home.
I still haven’t eaten since Dec 11th. I’ll go home on TPN iv nutrition. Probably another 2 – 3 weeks before we phase in real food.

MHarper you need a lesson from Gordo to hook up a Roku or some other smart device to your TV. That way you can watch Peacock TV on your large den tv and have room for Millie in your lap.
Tedtam – I don’t know if you’d have the same “luck” but we happened on a pile of ham slices reduced for quick sale at Krogers, for 85% off… I don’t mind paying $2-3 for a ham slice but would never have paid the original price
Sorry, I’ve been getting my notes & exhibits regarding the bum leg, ready to go to the doc tomorrow noonish. They are going to x-ray me before the appointment.

Most of this year, I was watching episodes of old favorites that we had as DVD sets. One I especially enjoyed was Jewel in the Crown from Masterpiece Theatre.

I had three “sodbuster” slip joint pocketknives I carried over the last 20 years and lost them to TSA checkpoints. It was stupid on my part. They were from A.G.

When my youngest son and his galfriend went on a Tennessee trip this summer they went to a forging shop in Pigeon Forge where they teach you to make your own knife. I’m sure that’s common knowledge but it was the first I’d heard of it. Looked fun.
Making blades just seems like a reasonable thing to do, IMHO. The trick is to reduce the work load to the greatest possible degree while producing a superior product. There is no such thing as the perfect knife as there are too many different tasks to be done with a similar tool. Even though I have disassembled a deer with… Read more »
One of my favorite TV shows is Friday nite’s “Forged in Fire” – it’s amazing watching those guys and gals take whatever is pulled out of the junk pile for them to make a knife with, and make some amazing blades (and some not so amazing blades LOL)… Not that I’d ever be able to even think of doing the… Read more »

From the C&C comments (emphasis mine): Regarding IgG4 it’s not just repeated shots but the very nature of the mRNA vaxxes themselves.

Then there’s the story of the “family friendly” drag queen show. A guy shows up, verifies that the show is not child-friendly, protests, and gets thrown out.

They have filmed “Forged In Fire” episodes right there in the old blacksmith shop Mr. Mewis owned for a century on Main Street in Bellville.

They got checked in at Tampa airport! Boarding at 2pm!
Fingers crossed.
A 16 year old Canadian hockey player died of a blood vessel disorder in the brain. This disorder was actually listed as a side effect of the jab.
The hockey league locked down their Twitter account shortly after the story was reported.
I wonder why?
