I can’t watch these criminals desecrate The People’s House. It just makes me sick.
You know, Jem, you may be onto something with that vanilla ice-cream treatment. I have some in the freezer now - not Blue Bell, not even Hagen Daaz, but it might work. Actually, I don’t even have a sore throat any longer, but I’m sure it will work as a prophylactic.
Thanks for the input. I just took a daytime cold pill, I’m not sure what was in it but there’s three items. If I take the night time once I fall asleep for days. Even the daytime ones put me to sleep. I can’t imagine what nyquil w alcohol will do! I might need bail money!
Now the ice cream, I can go all in for that one. And I’ve seen Blue Bell at the store. One good thing about all the self-service stuff, I can sneak in there and get stuff without talking to a single person. And as long as I use hand sanitizer and don’t cough I feel like I can safely leave everybody healthy. But I don’t really feel like getting off the couch yet
“I’d rather have malaria.”
Have you had it?
I’ve never asked but do you need mosquito nettings around your bed like they do on tv?
“I have a cold / flu.”
Oh, man, so do I. Since Friday. Much better this morning. I don’t think it’s Covid and won’t waste taking a test since we’re not going to be with people until Christmas.
I’ll test on the 23rd if feeling punky in any way just to be safe
Yes. I have had malaria. I was thinking just yesterday how in our first full year here in Sentani that I had it three times within two months. That left me strung out and so tired. I’ve had the two prevalent types here that we call tersiana and tropica. Tropica can lead to cerebral malaria which is really difficult.
Tersiana malaria isn’t all that bad when caught early. Three days of feeling bad and tired and then you’re usually strong enough to get back to work. It takes six weeks to regain your red blood cells.
Tropica is worse because you are super-tired, often with impressive headaches where it hurts to even blink your eyes. The treatment for that was quinine. You had to take it at an exact schedule. The medicine played havoc on your stomach, often causing vomiting. So, you would take an anti-nausea med first, wait about 45 minutes, then the quinine.
Not only did the quinine make you nauseous, but it also caused you too see things and hear things. With me, things would be disconnected from each other, sort of floating in the world. I would become dizzy to the point of lying on the floor hoping I wouldn’t be thrown off the circling disc. I would hear symphonies with tinkling crystal in the foreground.
We used to have mosquito netting but now we have air conditioning we don’t need it. I think perhaps I have had 50 bouts of malaria and 1 bout of very memorable dengue fever. But, the odd thing is, I haven’t had malaria in many, many years.
Now, I see that as a plus. I have an illness which keeps me tired and listless, unable to accomplish anything. I might as well sleep through it and wake up healthy days later.

Surely you spoke too soon, Here is Homer to the rescue!
Don’t think I haven’t thought of some contraption like that!
Thanks.
I went to lunch with son and granddaughter, then she took me to Walmart to get just a few things I need, and my neck was hurting horrible! I hadn’t taken any pain pills but I had no idea just that little bit would be so hard! As long as I just lay in bed and watch TV I don’t have much or any pain. So depressing!
I hope after doctor visit I can at least move my neck a little, get a massage and take a hot bath. I’ve been so depressed I lose my appetite and my clothes don’t fit well. My son brought me a huge piece of chocolate cake last night and I ate it all.
Sorry to complain, thanks for listening.
Thanks!
I’m so glad to hear this. 💕🙏
Thanks for your inpuț.

I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary unless Trump is also allowed to be on the state’s ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley to do the same immediately.
Proxy Trump.
This Vivek guy might have a spine, unlike the bottom-feeding GOPe.
Thanks, Kevin, for wasting all of 2023 on behalf of the Deep State.
Now, go collect your reward.

Former U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has just formally resigned from Congress.
I wonder if you develop a resistance to malaria? If people can catch it that often you wouldn’t think they would live very long or have productive lives. I’m glad you gotten to the point where you don’t get it anymore. Sounds awful
