That pink-haired lady is Kat Kerr, famed Christian ‘revelator’ and Trump supporter. She lives in Jacksonville and really is fearless.

it’s gotta be rough on you too, tho. Are you going to call it at 14 days?

Mine just got back 2 days ago from 17 days on the road. So we’re at square one - or two lol.

wow. Well, I’m glad it took and you’re with us now. That must have been pretty scary for you, tho. I think I’ve mentioned before, my DH had a stent placed Dec 26 after faceplanting Christmas eve. No warning, just a little dizzy then, down and out. Same artery, 95% blockage. He’s had a bit of trouble with dexterity (writing mostly) but it is coming back slowly. Did you experience that with your MI ? I worry about my guy - he thinks he’s still 30 and ten-foot-tall.

It still amazes me to see the number of people running around without masks.

The Mirror has the same pic, but check out the pic below the same pic - which looks nothing like the reality our on-the-scene reporter Kat showed us!

Walmart.com still has pressure canners. And I bought our new dehydrator from them last week. Have already used it 3 times.

*** That pink-haired lady is Kat Kerr, famed Christian ‘revelator’ and Trump supporter. She lives in Jacksonville and really is fearless. ***

Her beatific vision is i:

Heaven has “flowercopters” to carry people into the air.

Heaven has cows that drive tractors.

In Heaven, kids take art classes taught by rabbits. Giant rabbits. Giant multi-colored rabbits. Who help the kids paint the eggs with “liquid light” so they can draw Minions on them. And inside the eggs are baby chicks or rabbits. Somehow.

The kids sit on mushrooms that rise up into the air.

The Easter traditions were invented in Heaven.

There’s a city in Heaven made out of Jell-O where you can “eat the mailboxes.” Kids love it.

Heaven has a roller coaster where you leap through the air and go under the sea.

I always wanted a little canning house.
We looked at property, once, that had one and I thought....what a great sanctuary/escape...lol
*******************************************************************************
When our girls got divorced, moved back home with their children—we needed space. So we put an apartment in half of the basement —included a kitchenette—so that is now my canning and processing kitchen. It’s great.

Blackburn And McSally To Introduce Stop COVID Act To Hold China Accountable for Spread Of Coronavirus

Monday, April 20, 2020
Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) will introduce the Stop China-Originated Viral Infectious Diseases (COVID) Act to ensure the Chinese Communist Party faces consequences for its role in spreading the coronavirus. The Stop COVID Act will empower Americans to sue China in U.S. court and seek compensation for the devastating harm the deadly virus has caused to the economy and human life, said officials.

What brand dehydrator if you don’t mind my asking?

Hubby got an excalibur for me about 10 years ago. I’d like another smaller cheaper one as a spare. And for those times I have onions/garlic and blueberries to dehydrate and don’t really care for garlicblueberries :)

Who is Kizzmekia Corbett? NIH Coronavirus researcher asks Fauci to check ‘privilege’ while talking about racism

Kizzmekia Corbett urged Dr Anthony Fauci and the general surgeon Dr Jerome Adams to ‘check’ their ‘privilege’ in a tweet
She also mentioned that by Spring a vaccine for Coronavirus will be ready
She also suggested that Coronavirus pandemic could be ‘genocide’

The novel Coronavirus has killed more than 150,000 people and infected over two million individuals in the world. Recently Dr Kizzmekia Corbett, who is described by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as the “lead” member of US’s vaccine development team called the COVID-19 pandemic as a black ‘genocide’ and the well-known researcher condemned what she called “systematic oppression” by white people...

...Last week, Dr Adams told the media during a press conference that the African Americans suffer more from obesity, diabetes and other ailments that increase the risk of death from Coronavirus. He also advised African Americans to avoid cigarettes and alcohol to protect their health during the epidemic. After this comment, Corbett retweeted another user’s thread saying that the suggestion was “offensive because they ignore systemic racism.” The thread ended with mentioning Dr Fauci and Dr Adams to check their “privilege” and added that “Think critically. Stop spreading harmful fallacies that support white supremacy.”

I remember her saying the ‘blck genocide’ thing, but didn’t hear at the time she had mouthed off to Fauci, too. What an idiot.

LONDON

Oxford University’s Coronavirus vaccine could be given to UK volunteers ‘within the next week or so’

There are several potential COVID-19 vaccine trials which are currently running in several parts of the world
UK trial participants are expected to be given the first dose of a potential COVID-19 vaccine within the next week...

... Prof Hill said, “We’re now moving to the point where instead of doing maybe a three-litre manufacturing run, we’re up to 50 litres will go to 100, 200, maybe even 2000. And we’re talking to manufacturers who can provide that sort of manufacturing service.”

In addition, he also mentioned that the aim is to have at least a million doses by September, once the vaccine efficacy results are revealed and then “Move even faster from there because it’s pretty clear the world is going to need hundreds of millions of doses, ideally by the end of this year to end this pandemic, to let us out of lockdown.”

““Covid pneumonia patients I met had remarkably low oxygen saturations at triage—seemingly incompatible with life—but were using their cellphones as we put them on monitors. Although breathing fast, they had relatively minimal apparent distress, despite dangerously low oxygen.” “

Sneakiest disease ever!
