I have been following the frustrating saga of a Facebook friend and her battle with covid/pneumonia.  Last night she ended up in the ER and found out that her doctor did not take her autoimmune issues into account and mistreated her.  To begin with he said she was not eligible for Monoclonal antibodies.  Her autoimmune disease made her eligible and now it is too late to receive them :(

I did, Jane. I laughed out loud for a lot of it. There are also some sad and bittersweet moments in it.

I have chuckled vs laughing out loud.  It is well written and unique.  Have you read any other books by Mott?

Ron, sorry to hear about your sinus issues. I have very chronic sinus issues, but the standard drug treatment given by allergists didn't help me at all. I've found a number of OTC products that do help:

Sambucol dissolvable tablets, which are so good for colds and flu, are also good for sinus

Similasan Allergy Relief nasal spray

Nutribioic grapefruit seed extract (GSE) nasal spray

Silicea 30C homeopathic pellets (or a combination product with Silicea in it)



There are many other products out there. These are just ones I've used successfully.

Vibes you find relief soon!

Re Ruth's Chris, unfortunately it sounds like a death spiral. Loss of staff due to Covid. Loss of business due to Covid. Lesser ingredients, perhaps due to shortages or perhaps due to cost-cutting. Soon the restaurant becomes unrecognizable.

One day I was at Julie Goes Green and chatting with Julie when I saw a pan of small mounds being put into the pizza oven. "What are those?" Julie said, "That's our garlic bread." They bake small loaves/mounds of bread especially for their garlic bread. Yesterday I decided to give it a try. It was quite good. Unfortunately, my body does not tolerate wheat well, so I pay the price if I indulge.

Yesterday I tried Amazon Fresh for the first time. Both Singdaw's and Larry's posts have mentioned it and I needed a delivery. I was fooled by the "two-hour delivery", though. It took over 24 hours to find an open delivery slot. The order arrived on time and the driver brought it up to my door, so I was pleased. It wasn't until today that I saw that the bottled water that I was charged $9.79 for is $7.49 if you order from the regular Amazon site! Oh, well. It will provide me with another option, since I lost my personal grocery shopper.

I am sorry you lost your personal grocery shopper.  I hope the alternate options continue to work.

I finished a collection of short stories called Readers and Writers that were more often than not hilarious. I love reading, obviously, but I never knew how much I enjoy reading about reading. Hell of a Book’s descriptions of the writer’s life fits in that category.

DR John how is your mouth today?

Still no pain, no swelling. I’m irritated by the gauze. Nothing else. This really could have been a lot worse. I’m very grateful it hasn’t been.

I just finished reading where the author is taught how to dress, and how to discuss his book-loved it ;D

Can you take the gauze out today?  Other than that you sound good.

I could use some healthy vibes.  What is normally a minor issue, I probably have allergies and am fighting a possible cold.  Except right now this isn't minor.  If, once again I can't see Freyja I will be very sad and disappointed.  This is the only visit until spring.
