Overheard in my doctor's waiting room this morning after a patient showed up without a mask and was handed one by the nurse: "I wish folks would get over this mass hysteria and turn their tv's off!"
He put the mask on, but took forever to get it tied and even then left his nose exposed.
My 2 cents? Put them in a Haz-Mat suit and take them through an ICU that has a ventilated patient in every bed, and let them read the signs on the bed which read "Covid 19". Because most of the patients will need sedation to be able to endure the endotracheal tube down their windpipe, this gentleman won't see a TV in the room. What he would see would be some family members tearfully saying their final "Goodbyes" and "I love you's".
Do I sound like the "Ghost Of Christmas Future" to you? Well, so be it. This is the time for hoping that someone will come to their senses and do the right thing.
I mentioned on Facebook a few weeks ago, I thought folks were finally getting scared enough to get themselves and their children vaccinated, but then I saw this "preacher" on CNN, telling his congregation.... well, I think you'd better hear and see this for yourselves.....
The strange thing about this guy? Several of his "flock" have already died from Covid-19.
Nothing to say about that, Pastor?
Oh, of course he has something to say: "It's God's will!"
I have stated before that while I do believe in Him, I don't believe he necessarily intervenes in what happens to us. He gave us "free will" and everything else is left up to us - good luck. So the pastor in the above video clip has absolutely no power over you, certainly not any "God-given" power.
I will close with this: This time the children are affected more than before. This time they can die and this time there's no age restrictions.
If I had such a parent in front of me and that Mom or Dad refused the vaccine on their behalf, I would have to ask: "Is this what you want for your child? No? Then take a chance on saving his or her life with the vaccine, because if you don't let them have the vaccine, you are all but guaranteeing their death.
I wish I could leave you on a brighter note today, but that "train" is starting to roll again and it's headed for the last stop for some. Will you be one of them?
Thanks for reading, and if you're wondering about "The Walk To End Alzheimer's". It will take place rain or shine and we'll be observing the proper precautions.
I will update you here, but meanwhile please keep in mind we're going for Alzheimer's awareness as well as donations for research. Check in here for more information.
This is part of something I wrote on another message board with some editing, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My very good friend on the Dope, Oakminster , brought this to mind when he shared this in a thread of mine called "Your Favorite Commercials". Okay, I have already mentioned that my American soldier Dad brought me and my German Mom and brother to the US in 1960. At that time, I still spoke with a very heavy German accent and did my best to try to fit in. One of the ways was to "go out" for "Midget Football" and it was my first encounter with who would prove to be an inspiration to me and I am sure many others: Coach Roger Sauls who passed away last year. Coach was very patient with me, teaching me the "ins and outs" of throwing and kicking that strange looking egg-shaped ball! In those days, a lot of little boys went out for it and we all had our heroes on the Villa Rica Wildcats Varsity t
==================================================================================== I am so very fortunate to have some wonderful friends making this journey with me, and here are just three of them: That's me with my grandson Julian at the Georgia Aquarium, next is my Grand Niece Madison born just this year, and the third picture is my Grand Nephew Matthew.I call them "The Nukes" (for "nuclear family"), and as I add entries to this blog, I invite you to send me a picture to add to my EOAD "FORCE". I just wrote an e-mail to a friend in which I told her that heretofore seemingly insignificant things have suddenly become very important to me, and these "things" are "people". Wonderful people such as my EOAD buddy "Tom T" whom I met through the message board of alz.org, and whose comments you have read on this blog. Also my friend from "Down Under" who calls himself "The Loaded Dog", but who's real
Is that a sigh of relief that just washed over me from wherever you are? 😃 Great! I'm glad that makes you happy. I don't want to rain on your parade, but even though we're getting out of the pandemic status, people are still dying, and the virus continues to mutate. 🙄 I know - "Party-Pooper", right? Its latest variant is "Arcturus" and it causes pink eye. So if you get itchy eyes, you should probably take a Covid test. It probably came from India, and it's here with us, now, in at least 10 states Here are the latest Covid figures for the US, if anyone is interested. We live in Carroll County, Georgia and the latest figures per capita show less than 10 deaths from January 1st, 2023 through last Monday, April 17th, 2023. That doesn't even cause a "blip" on the Covid 'Radar" here, but folks are still "trickling in" to get their vaccinations and Dondra and I have our boosters and are up-to-date. So what will you do
