    The legit guy is a good actor! So much for the Research Dept… Hilarious mistake.
    Did the man with the Monster get himself out of his trouble with Tina? Hope so. He seemed to be a sweet soul.

    I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know if it will help-but in the Jewish religion we say, "May their memory always be as a blessing."  I had always thought it meant that it was  hoped that thinking of the departed would at some point bring comfort to those who had loved and cared for her
     
    But about a year or so ago I read an article-I don't know whether it's 'official' or just this author's opinion. I'm going to quote part of  the article here. It was on the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But it's obviously applicable for anyone. 
     
    "When we say “may her memory be for a blessing,” the blessing we speak of is not “may we remember her fondly” or “may her memory be a blessing to us.” The blessing implied is this: May you be like Ruth. Jewish thought teaches us that when a person dies, it is up to those who bear her memory to keep her goodness alive. We do this by remembering her, we do this by speaking her name, we do this by carrying on her legacy. We do this by continuing to pursue justice, righteousness, sustainability."
     
    The full article is here for anyone who'd like to look at it.

    I'm going to be watching an old movie tonight-Lovers and Other Strangers.  The site I'm using to watch it, Plex, shows pictures of the cast.  There's a legitimate actor named Michael Brandon in the movie. But Plex is showing a picture of the porn star.

    + Gar1eth got a reaction from + FreshFluff in Second Time With Covid-Anyone With Me?   
    I had Covid in December 2020. I was sick for about three weeks. This was before the vaccines were available, or looking just now-right around the time the vaccines were being rolled out. As I recall,  I was a bit apprehensive as I'm obese, hypertensive, prediabetic, and probably mildly immune suppressed as I'm on chronic prednisone. 
     
    While it started out as more like a cold, what really worried me back then was I'd have fever for about 5 days -get better for 2 or 3-then would redevelop the fever. This happened about three times. The last time was the worst. Unknowingly with the last 5 days of fever I had developed pneumonia. Luckily it was a mild one. The worst part was that every nite for 5 or so days, the fever would spike, and I'd be in bed with shaking chills. After the fever resolved for good, I was a bit short of breath for 1 to weeks, but it gradually resolved. 
     
    Since then I've been vaccinated-had my third shot this November. But I've also since  December 2020 been retested for COVID probably 5 or more times due to runny nose and sore throat. I was probably tested around twice in late November because someone I was around almost daily became positive. 
     
    Well now we get to December-I was tested a few times because I had a runny nose and sore throat. But I was always negative.  Well  I now have had a runny nose for about 2 weeks. I got tested again last Wednesday. Thursday I was out and about.  My nose was dripping so much I had a wet spot on my mask. And I started sneezing. Considering all my negative tests, I thought there was a good chance it was cedar fever as there's an enormous amount of cedar pollen in the Texas air right now. Of course I'm not usually allergic. But the newspaper said there was so much pollen even people not usually affected were having symptoms. Plus Allegra seemed to help dry me up.
     
    But today the test results came back, and I'm positive. This is nothing like the first time. I am a bit tired. But aside from that, the runny nose, and the sneezing. I'm doing fine. I'm going to hope I stay that way. Thank gosh for vaccine immunity, natural immunity, and most likely omicron being less virulent in vaccinated people.
