Yep, and I won't have to pay for a PCR test to return if I was freshly off a case of Covid It has pissed off the wife as the test costs $130 Cdn. I told her I would trade if I could.



Temp jumped up from normal to 100.8, and now I have chills. Don't care about that stuff, I need this sore throat gone. I coud stand to lose another 20 pounds if it could be done safely. Then another 20 after that.

Default Get well soon, Rob!

Sorry to hear you are unwell, Rob. Get well soon!

To all the vaxxed, boosted and unvaxxed alike, please, please seriously consider reading Robert Kennedy's book 'The Real Anthony Fauci', ISBN 978 1 5107 6680 8 for the hard copy, ISBN 978-1-5107-6681-5 for the e-book. Agree with him or not, this is one of the most comprehensively researched and referenced books I've ever read.

Mike

Default Don't care much about who says what about who.......

With the web we are bombarded by misinformation..... beleive what you want...

Sorry to hear you got the bug Rob....let us know how long you are in the dump!!!

Wife and I had our 3 shots plus the senior flu shots....so far so good......my only visitor is Grant....... and the occasional grocery runs in Rockland...... we restocked the pantry with non perishable goodies, freezer is full and lots of firewood on hand..... so is the wine cellar!!!

So far Winter in Ottawa has been late in starting, mild with little snow but more to come.

Fly low, stay below the radar and don't visit Quebec.........

Shitty way to start the New Year but hoping it will end better.........

Spending quality time in the barn with Grant cleaning up the shelves from old junk to make room for new stuff......

Cheers

Found an old expired bottle of Buckleys tonight. Wife demanded I have two spoon-fulls....she wasn't watching so I had 3/4 of a spoon. That stuff tastes like sh*t but I feel like a new man. I am actually able to talk with a slight volume, and might even be able to sleep tonight.

after high school i went up to fort mcmurray to start my apprenticeship i was introduced to buckleys there with the advice that it tastes like shit but works. it does and it did. a very old bottle still has a place in the medicine cabinet.

I think I can safely say it is just about over. The sore throat has reduced to the point I ate a couple grilled cheese for breakfast, although that was with the help of a few throat lozenges. However, the wife was starting to feel symptoms yesterday and got worse this morning so headed into town for another test. She is now in bed so I guess I can return all of the kindness and caring she showed me this past 5 days. I actually like to overdue it, in the hopes that next time she feels she has to do the same. As I fluffed up her pillows, she kicked me out.

Methinks the old buckleys may have to come out if her attitude doesn't change towards the positive. But seriously though, I hope hers is even less than my experience was.

Rob, my wife has been telling me for years that:
Children get sick, men get ill and women get on with it!
I'm glad your mostly through it. Women are tough, but look after her. After all she puts up with you!
