Good morning, lysie!
Perfect breakfast for a cold morning, thanks.
It’s 28° but no moisture in sight.
Is it still snowing there?
Not snowing , but could get some later (not much).
Link didn’t open for me.:-(
Excellent post, exit!
Thank you so much.
You are up early I see.
Hope you were able to go back to bed and get a few more winks.
In about three weeks, I will be joining you on that night shift. The buddy system is a good one. It is 30 degrees here. I may have lost my aloe.
😂😁

Mornin’ lysie and all....
SNOW. More of it. I’m sick of it already.
As good as your big bowl of oatmeal looks, I’m having a piece of carrot cake for breakfast, with a sinful amount of cream cheese icing. It was my granddaughter’s 12th birthday yesterday (she’s the oldest) so I made sure to nab some breakfast deliciousness lol.
Good morning, Judy!
Can’t see anything wrong with your breakfast this morning, lots of nutrition there.
I’m having 2 thick slices of homemade bread, toasted slathered with butter.
A very sweet young couple came by last night to visit and brought us the bread.
He is my BFF’s, who we lost to cancer 2 years ago, nephew and I love them both and their little family dearly.
So nice of them to think of us during this busy season.

Hi Gran....
That sounds lovely. So nice to have young people stop by....especially when they arrive with fresh homemade bread!
I had two slices of toast yesterday (homemade sourdough) with almost as much butter as there was cream cheese icing on this carrot cake lol. Butter and I have been having a torrid affair for over 60 years now lol.
Me too!
I keep a year's supply in the freezer.
We were raised on tons of butter.
My dad would not allow margarine to be brought into the house.
He said it was like eating plastic.

It IS like eating plastic! We load up (daughter’s home as well) with pounds and pounds of butter whenever it’s on sale. Margarine is a dirty word. Gross stuff.
I remember reading a good nutrition book YEARS ago that said to stay away from the M stuff. She said that she was getting rid of some M once and buried it in the yard. Ten years later they went to plant a tree and had to dig around that same spot....the margarine was still there! Had not decomposed one iota. Not good lol.
Poor Kyle. Sad thing is, he likely wouldn’t be able to attend the university without security. Oh wait! He could attend with his AR15 slung over his shoulder lol! Everyone now knows what they’d be up against lol.
Kyle IS security!
Democrats brilliant reaction to their horrible poll numbers is to lurch even further left.
This supports my theory that when in crisis people always revert to their true belief system.
At their core, Democrats are Communists. 
Exclusive: Forced to Get Vaccine to Remain on Lung Transplant List, 49-Year-Old Who Survived COVID Dies After Second Moderna Shot
In an exclusive interview with The Defender, Amy Bolin said in order to be approved for a double-lung transplant, her husband had to be fully vaccinated for COVID even though he’d had the virus and recovered. After his second Moderna shot, he developed a pulmonary embolism and heart condition and died before he could get new lungs.

A 49-year-old Texas man who recovered from COVID — but was required to be fully vaccinated against the virus before being approved for a life-saving lung transplant — died when he developed a pulmonary embolism and heart issues after his second Moderna vaccine.
In an exclusive Interview with The Defender, the man’s wife, Amy Bolin, said there was no reason her husband, Bobby Bolin, should have been forced to get the vaccine.
“In the medical field, your goal is supposed to be to improve and save people’s lives, and instead you’re giving them one option — you either do this or you can’t get a life-saving transplant,” Amy said.
Amy said her husband had no choice. “He knew that without lungs he was not going to live because his lungs were failing him. But look at what happened by making that choice.”
After his second Moderna shot, received on April 17, Bolin developed a pulmonary embolism and atrial fibrillation — a heart condition characterized by an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, chest pain and extreme fatigue. His health rapidly deteriorated and he passed away Aug. 20, before receiving new lungs.
Bolin had COPA syndrome, a rare genetic autoimmune disorder. “The side effect from the disease was an attack on his lungs, and he was at 15% lung capacity when he was being evaluated for a double-lung transplant,” Amy said.
Bolin started the evaluation process for new lungs in September 2020. “During that process, they discovered he had a blockage in his main artery and a couple of other arteries so he had to have a stent procedure done in September,” Amy said.
The evaluation process was halted because Bolin was required to take blood thinners after the procedure.
Once Bolin was finally approved for new lungs, he was told he would have to get vaccinated against COVID in order to be an eligible candidate for the transplant, even though he had already recovered from the virus.
“Our entire family actually came down with COVID in December 2020,” Amy said. “When that happened for Bobby, he was immediately given the antibody transfusion. His transplant team was certain that because of his minimal lung capacity this would be certain death for him, but he didn’t really have any side effects from it. A loss of smell was all that really lingered for him.”
When Amy learned her husband would be required to get the COVID vaccine, she “pushed back pretty hard with the transplant team.” She said she didn’t understand why the team would force a COVID vaccine on her husband without first testing his antibodies.
“It didn’t make sense to me,” Amy said. “He was extremely immunocompromised. He even struggled to take the flu shot, and we even fought the team about that because he would end up in the ICU every time it was given to him.”
Amy said:
“Unfortunately, he was desperate. He was very sick. He was not feeling well. The thought of taking this vaccine or not having the opportunity to have a chance at living was not something that he was willing to gamble with, so he agreed to take it.”
Bolin got his first dose of Moderna on March 20. He didn’t experience any effects outside of “typical achiness and feeling a little run-down,” Amy said, though he generally didn’t feel well due to his symptoms, so it was hard to tell if he was experiencing an adverse event or if it was part of his condition.
Shortly after he got the second dose, Amy and her husband took a three-day trip to Jamaica.
“It was going to kind of be our last hurrah knowing we were about to face a very big life change,” Amy said. “When you’re on the transplant list you can’t be more than an hour away from home. We felt like we needed to get away to reconnect and have some ‘us’ time before life got really crazy.”
On the way back from Jamaica, Bolin experienced a pulmonary embolism while in flight. According to Mayo Clinic, a pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening condition where a blockage caused by blood clots occurs in the pulmonary arteries of the lungs.
“All of a sudden his sats [oxygen saturation] started dropping,” Amy said. “He had a pulse oximeter on his finger, and I’m watching his oxygen levels go from 92 to 85, to 80, to 60. He dropped all the way down to the 40s, which is brain-damage level.”
Amy said they were lucky because an ICU nurse on the flight and a doctor sitting right behind them sprang into action. “They were our heroes on this flight,” Amy said.
The plane received permission to cruise at a lower altitude and made an emergency landing in Houston. The crew used oxygen tanks onboard to give Bolin pure oxygen.
Once the plane landed, Bolin was evaluated by EMTs. His sats were back to normal, so he decided not to go to the hospital because nearby hospitals were not familiar with his condition.
“A few days later we ended up in the hospital because I noticed his cognitive awareness had been impacted and he just wasn’t himself,” Amy said. During the evaluation process, they determined he had a pulmonary embolism while on the flight despite having no previous history of blood clots. They also diagnosed him with atrial fibrillation.

Remember the WAR against butter?
Our family was part of the resistance! LOL
Good morning, Judy. Carrot cake...love it.
