Budesonide as a nebulized aerosol for inhalation has been very effective in treating Covid. So is dexamethasone. But these drugs are available by prescription only in that form. My recollection was that the nebulized budesonide was quite expensive, about $500 without insurance. This is not something to fool with when you’re in your eighties. You should be telling your friends to seek medical care, not try to treat it themselves. Steroids, bronchodilators, and massive Rx doses of vitamins like C and D may be necessary. Zinc and melatonin may be helpful as well.

We are already in a recession. I work for a big-box retailer that has been doing very, very well. We are in an extremely prosperous area that historically has avoided the worst economic downturns. But now my store is virtually empty. People are not shopping the way they were even a few months ago.

I’m pretty sure I saw this movie.

Nah. You can go to TSC and buy a gallon of 50% glyphosate or 2,4-d + trichlophyr for $150 or less. And you wouldn’t need much.

I work in big-box retail. My company has been doing VERY well. But suddenly the store is almost empty on a sunny Saturday. This is abnormal and worrying.

True, from my own experience.

But fluticasone (Trelegy) has been absolutely life-changing.

Means they’ll screw a woodpile in the hope there might be a snake under it.

The vast majority of new mothers make every effort to breastfeed. Even if they have to go to work, they will pump and store breast milk for their babies. Sometimes it doesn’t work out despite mother, child, father, nursing coach, and physicians trying as hard as they can. Sometimes a new mother can’t produce enough milk to feed a growing baby. Sometimes the mother is sick. Sometimes the baby has issues. Sometimes there’s an emergency. Thirty years ago our family had a situation that suddenly required an unusual kind of formula. In previous centuries prosperous families would have paid for a wet nurse, while poor ones would have had their children die. So we don’t know.

I have to point out that many years ago (during my mother’s era, half a century ago) some women thought breast feeding was icky. Today that attitude is rare. Most new mothers do try to breastfeed, though they may get discouraged and it may fade away in time.

Come to my farm and work all day. You’ll sleep. You’ll go into a coma for eight hours.

I hope I die before the hellworld they have planned for us comes to pass.

Poor guy! Let’s send him McDonald’s gift cards so he doesn’t go hungry.

My horse provides about a hundred pounds of manure a day, and my trees and grass give me mor good additions to compost. My garden will be okay and I’ll be able to feed myself. But the whole world can’t do that.

Peterson is a hero. He has saved the lives of many people, mostly young men. It has been thrilling to watch him stumble toward Christ.

Not at all. The throne provides a cultural coherence, a unity, to the British people. The Queen is much loved; she has done a great deal for charity. The British Royal Family is also a cash cow for the UK. Their presence, their houses, the sports and industries and activities they support, attract many tourists from all over the world, who leave their money in the UK in the hands of British people.

The UK, like the US and the West in general, is circling the drain. Any institution that preserves our cultural heritage and our civilization should be supported.

Delusional.

Vaccinated? Had a recent booster?

I was honored to attend a small talk she gave once. She was hilarious, adorable, honest, charming, and piercingly wise. Her own small book and the books she translated for her husband changed my perspective on life. What a gift she was!

Peterson is a man of great wisdom and guts. It’s been a joy to watch him develop in his faith. God bless him richly.

Nauseating. I’d rather diet and workout.
