TOD:  On the few scratches I've had, I think I've won only $15 or so.  The most I ever won on a lottery ticket was $97.

Fortune does not follow me, I'm afraid.  Have had to work for everything.

It's currently 18 degrees.  The high should soar to 44 at some point today.  Tonight will be in the low 20s.

The pond remains frozen over...a thin cover of ice, that is.  Certainly nothing to walk upon by the likes of any of us.  A cousin with whom I have a somewhat contentious (politically) relationship suggested I should go ice skating.

I invited her to "go first".
Title: Re: CHRISTMAS DAY WITH THE DARLING DAUGHTER

Happily, that cousin is not a "blood relative".
Title: Re: CHRISTMAS DAY WITH THE DARLING DAUGHTER
Post by: Ron Pulliam on December 26, 2022, 06:22:01 AM
I posted two articles to my facebook page last week.  One was a story about Sean Hannity confessing to the January 6th committee that he lied about the election fraud claims by Trump. He said he knew the election was legit all along.

The other was about Fox being sued by Dominion over the false claims that the voting machines were compromised.  Fox admitted they had no proof of those claims.

My cousin commented on both threads that "freedom of speech" was being violated by the media in printing those stories.   I had to point out to her, with some sarcasm, that the very idea of free speech was being exercised in printing "truth".

She believes in Fox News reporting very literally. She also considers herself ultra smart and worldly.

She is neither in my experience.  No one reliant upon Fox news could possibly be either, IMO.

That is a dilemma, DR Ron Pulliam. I find myself not even wanting to interact with people who are Fox Newsers. And that is especially hard if they are a relative. And yet, I don't know how we move past it if we don't interact. So I don't know what the answer is.

I'm enjoying reading what everyone did for Xmas. The weather here has been really weird. On Friday it was 44F and raining. But then later it started snowing a lot. I went to my aunt's for sushi Xmas/Hanukkah lunch on Saturday since my nieces and sister and her husband all love sushi. It was so good. I ended up staying over at my aunt's (due to weather) to have turkey dinner on Sunday.

I, fittingly, will put together a box of presents to mail to Rob’s family in Illinois.  They spent last week and the holiday weekend in Michigan with ALL of ML’s family, celebrating both Christmas and Great Grandma Norma’s 90th birthday.  There were enough presents already and ours will help them continue the festivities to Twelfth Night.  My goal is to take it to the post office tomorrow - provided we can get out of our driveway.

Or maybe I dreamed it at some point over the years.

Got one more dose of Paxlovid to take tonight. It definitely did a lot of good. I could feel it starting to work late on the first day, and on the second day it was like I'd never even been sick. Did I say this already? Anyhoo, I've been fine except that I've been post-nasal-dripping like crazy, so my throat still gets tickled and I cough more than I'd like.

I also figured out that that kind of a cough is a complete waste of bodily energy. It's only triggered by the drip, and as such, it has no function. Coughing is only good when there's congestion to break up and clear out. So this is utterly wasted dry hacking that has no bearing whatever on the thing that's causing it. I'm trying to keep it to a minimum so I don't just get into a coughing fit cycle for no reason.

Anyhoo (again), other than that and a couple of sneezes per day, I feel fine, normal, and like I never had the Covid cold five days ago.

As soon as I finished kitty cleanup, I lay down with all three babies. That was aeound 10:15. They slept and I dozed. At 1:30, I got up, took the garbage to the basement and picked up my mail from Saturday. Then I took a nice hot bath. I am now finishing up the leftovers from yesterday.

Got one more dose of Paxlovid to take tonight. It definitely did a lot of good. I could feel it starting to work late on the first day, and on the second day it was like I'd never even been sick. Did I say this already? Anyhoo, I've been fine except that I've been post-nasal-dripping like crazy, so my throat still gets tickled and I cough more than I'd like.

I also figured out that that kind of a cough is a complete waste of bodily energy. It's only triggered by the drip, and as such, it has no function. Coughing is only good when there's congestion to break up and clear out. So this is utterly wasted dry hacking that has no bearing whatever on the thing that's causing it. I'm trying to keep it to a minimum so I don't just get into a coughing fit cycle for no reason.

Anyhoo (again), other than that and a couple of sneezes per day, I feel fine, normal, and like I never had the Covid cold five days ago.

Keith's biggest complain was the dry cough, and it lingered for a couple of weeks.

My cousin-in-law has attempted to ignore/circumvent my post about Sean Hannity's admitted lies about the election to have me account for Joe Biden's part in his son's corrupt business dealings.

I politely informed her that I have seen no proof of this "conspiracy theory" item, but that I also haven't seen any investigation on the part of the GOP on Jared Kushner landing a $2 billion-dollar personal business deal with the Saudi while he was representing the White House in the Middle East, nor any condemnation of Ivanka Trump for securing lucrative business licenses with China to further her personal lines of products.  Never mind Trump ran on the issue of condemning Americans for doing that kind of business.  Hilariously enough, all his MAGA hats were made in China at one time.

I asked her to please stop trying to change the subject from the article which clearly showed Hannity admitted he lied...before and after the election.  I pointed out that his lies were not a freedom of speech issue...that they were an ethical and moral issue.

I was far too polite, but she's family.

Too funny/sad for words: 

A local yokel has gotten many county residents up in arms over the past couple of days for posting that Dominion Power, which provides electricity to our County, would start rolling blackouts and that every 90 minutes, all residents would experience a 30-minute outage.  Not all at the same time, of course.

The uproar was terrific, and many complaints were voiced and folks were demanding to be heard, etc.

Only thing was that it wasn't true.  The local yokel had heard on the news that a company in a New England state was doing these rolling blackouts and panicked when he thought it was here.

Lots of stupid out there!

Catching up with Strictly Ballroom for the first time in years. Silly. Fun. Probably Baz Luhrmann’s best. I started it a while back and never finished.

I love it!  It's one of my favorite movies!

An absolute delight.  One of my all-time favorite films.

Great minds think alike. ;)

Too funny/sad for words: 

A local yokel has gotten many county residents up in arms over the past couple of days for posting that Dominion Power, which provides electricity to our County, would start rolling blackouts and that every 90 minutes, all residents would experience a 30-minute outage.  Not all at the same time, of course.

The uproar was terrific, and many complaints were voiced and folks were demanding to be heard, etc.

Only thing was that it wasn't true.  The local yokel had heard on the news that a company in a New England state was doing these rolling blackouts and panicked when he thought it was here.

Lots of stupid out there!



You know what they say:  You can't fix stupid. ::)

Is there some gaslighting going on here?
Title: Re: CHRISTMAS DAY WITH THE DARLING DAUGHTER
