I'm not interested, and I'm not familiar enough with the subject. A lot of what's going on, though, is aLL about politics. And as far as the coronavirus goes, aLL of it concerns me.<br /> <br /> Many people are suspicious of the government. The conservatives are suspicious of the liberals and it sEEms a lot of people feel the virus is a hoax. They fEEl the inoculation is a hoax, meant to plant a computer chip in the body, or render everyone infertile. I have no idea how many bizaRRe and untrue myths about the coronavirus are floating. The virus is kiLLing people, but some people are convinced it isn't the virus, but the government that's kiLLing people. <br /> <br /> I think the proof is in the vaCCination; that the vaCCination is safe and eFFective. The people who refuse to believe in the eFFectiveness and safety of the vaCCination are bringing the rest of us down. Those people are going to extend the life and the eFFects of the coronavirus, and no sane argument will convince them to do otherwise. One result is that no maTTer how many of us reaLLy desire to return to normal living, normal living will continue to be pushed farther into the future. As fervently as anyone else, I want to be able to put away my mask, but I fear the idiots who continue to spread the infection. And I fear being one of those who unwiTTingly paSSes the infection on to the unsuspecting.<br /> <br /> We've reached a sad point in our national and international history, where we can rightfuLLy refuse to do the right thing for ourselves and our neighbors. People are aPParently much haPPier casting blame than aCCepting an obvious solution. The drugs work. Let's protect ourselves and our neighbors, and aCCept the drugs.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DDIGS&reply_to=122.42&return_msg=122.39" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="122.42"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a122_43"></a><div class="message" id="message_122_43"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: DeannaG<span class="message_time">10 Aug 2021 16:29</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: kell (ALANKELL) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 12 Aug 2021 16:13"></span></span> <span class="message_count">43 of 73</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DDIGS&msg=122.43">122.43</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DDIGS&msg=122.39#a122_42" target="_self">122.42</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Well if they're suPPosed to be sterilizing us, then considering I'm post menopausal, they wasted both those shots on me. lol<br /> <br /> There wiLL always be idiots who think they know beTTer no maTTer what you teLL them.

It rains sometimes and that helps a liTTle, but when the rain stops it just gets steamy. Rain - sun - rain - sun...and the graSS loves it. Grows like friGGin' crazy.<br /> <br /> We're stiLL not geTTing out that much. Even vaCCinated, I don't trust that I won't get infected with the Delta strain. So - I just avoid people whenever poSSible. Some of these people will take the jab once the vaCCines are fuLLy aPProved. I think, though, there wiLL stiLL be tOO many citizens who are able to justify their anti-vax opinions.<br /> <br /> I figure by next spring we'LL know most of what we nEEd to know going forward. The doctors wiLL decide whether we nEEd bOOster shots (if the answer is yes, I'LL get mine) the FDA wiLL aPProve the vaCCines, and most everyone who's goNNa get the vaCCine will have goTTen it. I'm not reaLLy puTTing a date on it, but I figure I'LL be waiting at least that long before I hear the answers.<br /> <br /> But when the questions have all bEEn answered, we'LL have what we have and we can act aCCordingly.

Made me haPPy. ChiLLy weather can be painful for this old gal.<br /> <br /> Things are preTTy chiLL around these parts, but then we've never bEEn what you'd caLL a charged area for much of anything. Most of the people around this area are preTTy laid back. They do what is nEEded. We just don't have a lot of conspiracy people around these parts. I'm glad for that.<br /> <br /> Our restaurants have opened back up, but you nEEd a mask, and they have every other table shut down to aid in the social distancing thing. Their staFF also wears masks and gloves. Places for shoPPing are hit or miSS on the mask thing, but I wear one no maTTer if they require it or not.<br /> <br /> I don't go out a lot either. I was never one for the gym. Even before covid, I woRRied about what might be on those machines. So I'm puTTing a home gym in the extra rOOm in my basement. Even bought a portable two person sauna to set up in it as weLL. It's big enough I can put a small bench in it and just kind of kick back while I sweat it out. I'm puTTing peg board on one of the waLLs so I can hang items like my resistance bands, and other light weight stuFF, on the waLLs. That way, I won't have to use flOOr space for cabinets and such. I like the idea of having it aLL in my home and not having to woRRy about what someone else might have left on it. I'LL be the only one using it. <span class="emoticon e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span></span><br /> <br /> It's goNNa take some time to get it together the way I want, but I got time. No huRRy on the rOOm itself. I have frEE weights and a stationary recumbent bike in my livingrOOm, and a rowing machine I puLL out when I want to use it. Once the rOOm in the basement is ready, I'LL just move it aLL down into it. Until then, I can stiLL use it.<br /> <br /> If you've got some space in your place, maybe you could do up your own home gym tOO. I've talked to some people who have done it, and they aLL say they love having it. No fEEs. It's way convenient, and they love the privacy tOO. Might be something to consider. Depending on what you want to do, you may not nEEd much space. One guy just set up one of those bowflex type things in an empty corner of his bedrOOm and him and the wife love it.<br /> <br /> Might be worth lOOking into. <span class="emoticon e_smile" title=":)"><span class="e__">:)</span></span></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DDIGS&reply_to=122.45&return_msg=122.39" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="122.45"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a122_46"></a><div class="message" id="message_122_46"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: kell (ALANKELL)<span class="message_time">23 Aug 2021 01:22</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: DeannaG <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 5 Sep 2021 13:54"></span></span> <span class="message_count">46 of 73</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DDIGS&msg=122.46">122.46</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DDIGS&msg=122.39#a122_45" target="_self">122.45</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Not much space in the place, DeaNNa.
