Went through the drive-thru at Taco Bell, and asked for tomatoes on crispy tacos, and there was a hand written sign stating that this Taco Bell and it said, that they had no "Sour Cream and hot sauce" Well I said I would like to have have two crispy tacos with tomatoes, and the very nice lady stated that they had no tomatoes.

Great game.

Looks like the Chit Chat option is gone. Recently had a sump pump installed after the pit filled with water after a heavy downpour. While I think the pump usage will be low, I'm concerned with being without power during a rainstorm (took several hours to fill pit). With a finished basement, I'd rather invest in some preventative measures. Looked into whole house generators but you're looking at around $10-20k for the luxury of it kicking in when the power goes out. Looked into maybe having a transfer switch installed and getting a portable generator but if I'm not home...

So out of nowhere last Wednesday I had the sweats followed by the chills. On Thursday the fever was gone - not that it was much, just 100.1 - to be replaced with a dry cough and extreme fatigue. I tried to get tested. My doc referred me to a testing center that couldn't see me for a week. I checked out both CVS and Walgreens, but nothing anywhere near me for about a week. I finally ordered tests online, but they won't be here until Thursday. I still have my senses of taste and smell. My only persistent symptom...

Please pray for my 90 year old Mother who was hospitalized from COVID. She's very healthy but since we brought her in for low oxygen levels (84%) she's started to decline. She's quarantined and we're only able to reach her via cell. Doctors put her on Remdisivir and dexamethasone which appears to be the standard FDA script. Hospital staff seem only marginally helpful. At this point the whole family feels like we're on thin ice; i.e., don't upset the hospital staff with questions / recommendations because we have no access to our Mother. Please pray that the Lord will give...

So, after 2 years, and all that has gone on, I finally know someone directly who had passed from Covid. Didn't know him well, a coworker, and a very nice man. Leaves behind a wife and a college aged daughter. Over the last 2 years, I have known many people who have gotten sick, some severely but majority, a few days to a few weeks of feeling like crap and back to normal... Some have been hospitalized with severe cases, but all have recovered, though some have been facing very very long recoveries and are still not 100%. I have...

There are several variances of the COVID disease If a person contacted the COVID can you catch the virus again? If so how many times? Vaccinated and un-vaccinated?

As one smart Freeeper commented the other day, there was a time when Serbia was communist and Australia was democratic. Now the best tennis player in the world is imprisoned in a cheap hotel in Carlton, Melbourne, because he wanted to defend his Australian Open title. This is false imprisonment. Will Acting Seargeant Bonnie Heazlewood of Collingwood Police Station investigate the crime? Or will there be a cover-up of this stupid corruption of the laws, human rights and sporting ideals which Australia used to stand for.

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?--RR

FREEPERS, LET'S START THIS CONTEST FOR THE GREATEST SONG OF THE '50S! ROUND 1A – ‘50s The baseline for the survey is the top 10 hits of each year of the '50s, as compiled by BILLBOARD. This is NOT based on personal preferences, biases, prejudices, or counter-culture fringe-element reactionism. Nor based on weekly charts. Round 1 involves ranking candidate songs in order of preference for each year. Part A (as well as B next week) will be 5 years’ worth of rankings, so hunker down because that’s 50 songs to handle! (The remaining rounds are handled as play-offs, starting with...

January 6, 2022: About 30 minutes into a popular, live video podcast, a reported 5 local police officers responded to a call that “two persons had been shot, and the shooter was held up inside”. Fortunately, the matter was resolved peacefully. But it exposed a deep flaw in security at the studios of “Timcast IRL”, and a teachable moment for anyone doing live broadcasts in the future. Hopefully, the associates of Timcast IRL also receive this, or similar messages.Full details here.Let me first say “Swatting” is no joke. I know this from experience. It happens when a person or persons...

The Proper Approach to Online Trolls Interesting times we are living in, where we are in daily conflict with a progressive narrative that seeks our own destruction. This is a message to those as a caution to make sure we do not become our own worst enemy. While we seek to defeat said enemies, both foreign and domestic, we sometimes overlook the adversary within. In many cases, such an adversary may merely be a troubled soul; but just the same – a distraction. I am referring to what is commonly known on social media as ‘a troll’: a person who...

Just a test. Trying out surveys. https://surveyhero.com/c/bcvp3xdx

I need help. I have a friend in JFK Hospital in Iselin, NJ. He just got put on the ventilator, with COVID, and the Dr's are telling his son that they do not use Ivermectin in that hospital. I have to find a Doctor licensed in NJ that will treat him with it. I'll probably also need a lawyer who will need to file in Court to force them to allow the treatment.. Please private message me for my personal contact information.Thanks

Many of the biggest "know it alls" get all their information from MSM. Here is a list of some questions to challenge some of them. Please feel free to add any of your own questions. What is your understanding of the Mrna vaccine? How does it work compared to traditional vaccines? How long has this technology been around? How do the Covid tests work? What are the primary ingredients in the Covid vaccines? Are the tests able to differentiate between Covid virus and other viruses like the flu? What are the average number of flu infections, hospitalizations, and death? What...

Happy New Year. We live in a world gone mad. The largest companies are now pretty much run by leftists. I’ve been a technologist for several decades, and I work as a consultant to one of the largest companies in the USA. My dog and I wanted a sandwich for lunch today, New Year’s Day. We ordered it on Uber Eats from a deli across town. Uber took my order and my money. When I got there the deli was closed. Uber eventually refunded my money, but their app should have never taken the order in the first place. Uber...

I was about 1/3 of the way towards Robert Malone's Interview with Joe Rogan and decided to take a rest as the show was very long ( about 3 hours ). Malone, an expert in mRNA vaccine technologies who trained at UC Davis, UCSD and the Salk Institute, was suspended by Twitter with no explanation on Thursday. The suspension came after Malone was vilified by a hit piece in The Atlantic which was funded by Facebook and Johnson & Johnson. Popular Podcaster Joe Rogan, upon hearing about this, invited Dr. Malone to his show. At the start of the interview,...

Best wishes! Thank you all. Great site. Great people. Keep the conversation going.
