Good evening, Anthony. Please be careful .... if you interrupt Santa’s vacation, you will personally have no shortage of fossil fuel this coming winter. As always ....
Good morning LB. I understand your frustration. The danger of embargo/sanction is the tit for tat response. Can we really sanction another nation for using coal until our own use is 0 %. Perhaps the wealthier nations should invest in development/testing of renewable clean energy strategies in the emerging market nations. Perhaps eventually we all would truly practice what we preach. As always ...
Good morning H2O. I have needle phobia som interestingly, I end up being a life time blood donor. Adding in pre computer records I’m going on 100 donations. My fear goes back to childhood when I was held down for a butt stab. Not many kid friendly techniques in those days. I’m scheduled to donate this afternoon and I still feel anxious. I just close my eyes and bravely remember a scene from my beloved Peanuts. I believe Linus was getting a splinter removed and his mom told him to, during the procedure, pretend he was captured by pirates and to be brave by not telling them where his treasure was hidden. I remember back and use that, of course like Linus, without fail, I tell them where the treasure is hidden every time. As always ...
Good evening Phineas. I’ve never been tested on my own but as a regular blood donor, Ive found out that one of the sample vials is used to test for antibodies. I have never been notified of being positive. .I am now, thanks to loving daughters, fully Pfizer vaccinated, the daughters knew that, left to me, I probably would have waited until the 12th of never, as always ...
Absolutely....... you have better odds with a dollar and a dream, however that is difficult to explain to a person who lost a loved one to a side effect. As always......
Good morning, Liberty. As an extreme ‘S/F’ example; if we could draw from the rising oceans to allow gentle, evenly spaced, rains to fall across the Sahara, turning it into that continents bread basket ..... how would that effect the rest of the planets dominoes? As always .....
Good morning, Liberty. Yes, I was surprised to see the posting. His response, I believe, was a more fun, tongue and cheek although it was written as a serious reply. I never checked back to see any reaction. The folks in the Mid Atlantic forum are generally warm , welcoming and have well placed senses of humor. Of course considering the state of my senses I may have gotten the S19 mixed up with another but I don’t think so. As always ...
Good afternoon all. S19 just posted in the Mid Atlantic forum, as a reply to Storm Chaser Chuck, that the current trends could lead to a DC to Bos snowstorm with Blizzard conditions. Could it be a possible vaccine side effect? As always ....
Good evening Irish. I remember my grandmother telling me how she and her 1920’s Dyker Heights neighbors used to run out with shovels to collect the leavings of the numerous horse drawn vendor carts. Vegetable gardens provided a necessary extra for the households of that era. The more common , at that time, mounted police also provided good deposits. As always ....
Good evening SS14. The season we just left is the one I’ll soon be a permanent part of. April being my birth month, I will always have a special fondness for. My favorite American poet, Paul Simon, said and sang it best; “ April come she will. When streams are ripe and swelled with rain” the summer and fall will follow until, as Paul says, “A love once new has now grown old” being alone and near the end give the words a greater meaning to me. As always ....
Good morning DRWx, I got the P2 shot noon yesterday with no effect. After 19 hours it kicked in with all you’ve described plus mild nausea and aches in an instant. I went horizontal for two hours took some over the counter pain pills and am back to normal with the effects fading. I guess we know it’s working. Stay well, as always ....
