I need to take a moment, and cuss out the yoUniverse . . .
cuz W T F !???
I am grateful for my education. That's not the problem. I am grateful for my insatiable lust for knowledge, and persistent tenacity for digging up truth. That's NOT the problem.
The problem is, how the phuck do you gift someone with these things, but also put mentally phukked psycho's in their love life - leaving unseen battle scars (that is until it's triggered)?
Every effing therapist I've had is so fascinated with my knowledge, that it distracts them (ALL OF THEM) from the PTSD, Anxiety, & OCD issues. So they never get addressed, and no resolution is found. I'm not going to therapy for a new friend - because that's what winds up happening. Seriously, my insurance is being billed for primo intellectually stimulating conversation, that gets further and further from healing. I mean really. I could have met ALL those therapists on here or PlentyofFish or OKCupid. Like all my other platonic guy friends.
Western medicine in broken. From age 19 forward, it's failed with the exception of 1 therapist I met in the hospital who helped me find peace with the rotten seeds planted from my mother. Well, I AM grateful for that. Dr. Greenwald moved from Ohio, though. So now what?
Send me a phukkin healer dad gummit. I require an intuitively gifted healer, who is NOT distracted by the frontal lobe, so that my challenges can be worked through, integrated, and healed.
Bein fragmented is getting old, and doesn't serve me.

I foresee a booster shot in your future...
As time goes on, your immunity will drop and it would be necessary to have a booster shot.
That's my take on the subject.

It looks like all government employees will have to be vaccinated soon.
I can't wait to hear the response from nutjobs like Green and Gaetz.
People fought in wars and died to make this country safe,
and wacko nutjobs can't even get vaccinated to help protect people close to them.

President Biden is expected to announce that civilian federal employees must be vaccinated or submit to regular testing and other safety restrictions.
Wednesday, July 28, 2021 1:51 PM EST
White House officials said the administration is still reviewing the specific details of the policy, which the president plans to formally announce on Thursday.
President Biden will formally announce on Thursday that all civilian federal employees must be vaccinated against the coronavirus or be forced to submit to regular testing, social distancing, mask requirements and restrictions on most travel, two people familiar with the president’s plans said Wednesday.
White House officials said the administration is still reviewing the specific details of the policy which the president is expected to announce in a speech from the White House. In a statement on Tuesday, Mr. Biden said his remarks will reveal “the next steps in our effort to get more Americans vaccinated.”
The president’s move is expected to be similar to an announcement on Wednesday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, who said that tens of thousands of state employees would be required to show proof of vaccination or submit to weekly testing. Mr. Cuomo also said that “patient-facing” health care workers at state-run hospitals would be required to be vaccinated as a condition of their employment.
The federal plan will not force employees to get a shot unless they work directly with patients at hospitals run by the Veterans Affairs department. But public health officials are hoping that the prospect of extra burdens for the unvaccinated will help convince more people to get one.
Mr. Biden’s decision to embrace stricter vaccine rules for federal workers follows days of deliberations and reflects growing concern among top federal health officials about the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant, which poses a special threat to children, older Americans and those with weakened immune systems, including cancer patients. But that concern, officials said, must be balanced against the threat of a backlash that could drive opposition to vaccination. Recent research has shown vaccines remain effective against the worst outcomes of Covid-19, including those involving the Delta variant.
Asked by a reporter on Tuesday whether he would require vaccinations for the nation’s nearly two million federal workers, Mr. Biden was blunt.
“That’s under consideration right now,” he said, adding, “But if you’re not vaccinated, you’re not nearly as smart as I thought you were.”
Mr. Biden did not provide details, but administration officials said the idea being debated was similar to a mandate New York City announced on Monday, which would require all 300,000 city employees to be vaccinated or submit to weekly testing.

What's spreading like a wildfire in the USA is the Covid-19 virus
Almost all of the new cases are variants other than the original, and the predominant variant is now the Delta.
Thankfully, the smarter people (~ 54.6%) have been vaccinated at least once and almost half of the population (~48.8%) are fully vaccinated, receiving both doses. Thus, although there is less antibody production to this newer variant, they are mostly protected from a serious illness from the virus due to other components of the immune system, unless they have other health issues, which interfere with them having an active immune system.
The vaccination data is even better for the older & wiser folks (age 65 and older) as about 89.2 %
have had at least one dose and 79.6 % are fully vaccinated with 2 doses.
Despite this scenario of most people being vaccinated, this current past week there was a significant increase in the hospitalizations due to Covid-19. Indeed the 7 day moving average increased 32.2% from 2,663 to 3,521. Obviously, these are people who are not vaccinated. So, not only did it increase for the nation, but the increase was focused on the unvaccinated. Thus, it essentially went up over 60% on them.
The number of deaths also increased for this period from 6 to 9. But, one should realize, that these deaths were mostly due to previous hospitalizations during previous weeks. Thus, the deaths due to the illness of the most recent hospitalizations for the most part have not yet occurred. Unfortunately, those deaths are likely to occur in the following weeks. As I've stated before, there are lag periods between infection and hospitalization and between hospitalization and death and between death and reporting of death. While they are related, there is a delay in the full process. Again, obviously, this increase was also among the unvaccinated.
Hopefully, the unvaccinated are smart enough to understand the relationship, and finally get vaccinated before it's too late.
Their life indeed may depend upon it. The families of the dead now wish that their family member
had ignored the political b.s. and simply got vaccinated.

confused about the vaccine
I hear on the news....or at least they make it sound like...that if you are vaccinated you will not spread the virus. I literally just heard a report about the potential for spreading the virus in the Olympic games. They said that 80% of the athletes have been vaccinated and there was not much of a concern there for the spreading of the virus...but the audience was on average only 20% vaccinated...and that is where the real threat of spreading came from.
As far as I know, the vaccine only helped with mitigating the symptoms of the virus, but you could still get it. So in essence, a vaccinated person could indeed have the virus, spread it....and not even know they were spreading it because they were not suffering from the symptoms. I am not a brain surgeon...but, wouldn't that make them more of a risk for spreading it? I mean, at least the unvaccinated knew they were sick and would not be out in public areas....hence, spreading it less.

Tiny Home Community
Hi Everyone:
I am about to rent another unit inside of the nearest town here in Alberta.
I can't stay out in the wood's much longer due to the forest fire smoke from BC coming into my area of rest and peace. I am in a cabin in between Banff and Jasper, but staying in nearest town at moment. I have rented nothing but toxic moldy units in the past that has made me quite ill and led me to my journey on the road to the Great White Northern Woods. I was at peace for a time, but now I am filled with anxiety and remorse in thoughts of having to move back into yet another moldy unit for the winter months. I am fully aware of what to look for but I have grown so sensitive to the toxic mold, not just mold, that it has debilitated my life to erosion. I am not young woman anymore, try to take good care of myself, but my environment has me at wit's end no matter how hard I try, this has cost me thousands of dollars moving around just to get away from it all. I know so much more than when I first began, and am thinking the only solution is to start a tiny home community for others who are just like me. The neglectful attitudes I have come across in landlords/realty made me realize it's only about the money. Well I am speaking up for those just like me, and saying NO it is certainly NOT just about that at all. No offense but it is my truth. I have done all the detox afterwards, and have been successful but I also know there are many more units like what I have experienced. I'm not saying all, but yep most.
Any thoughts on tiny home solutions are welcome, please no negative comments, I am going through enough turmoil.............
Colloidal Silver
I just found out about Colloidal Silver and the health benefits this week and wondered if anyone has anything to add, or if they have tried it and what it may have done for you.
I have been studying all kinds of beneficial natural herbs and such for long time now.
I seen someone posted about Pine Needle Tea, and I think its awesome stuff, wished I had known about it years ago, as we here in Canada have plenty! I also make my own Dandelion Root Tea which has been a life changer as well. And to think at one time I used to pull those 'weeds' out of the ground and chuck them!
I live out in the woods now, as I have been impacted from toxic Mold in most rentals I have been in over the years, and it has left me no choice where to live anymore, so being out in the wild has plenty of benefits for someone like me
And yes I'm fully aware there are molds everywhere, I have studied this extensively. There's a huge difference in just Mold compared to Toxic.
But...I can always learn more about this!
Anyone else into this stuff?

For all US Military Veterans
Beginning on June 8, 2020, a new Emergency Care Centralized Notification Center was put into place,
nationwide, by VA for the care of Veterans in a community-based, in-network emergency department.
Although this is not a change from the existing requirement that in-network emergency department
providers notify the VA within 72 hours of a Veteran self-presenting for emergent care, the VA is
providing a simplified mechanism by which community providers can report instances of a Veteran selfpresenting to an in-network emergency department, using the following centralized options:
Email: VHAEmergencyNotification@va.gov
Phone: 1-(844)72HRVHA or (844-724-7842)
I used it last week and it was very simple.

Mosquitoes
Well, it's that time of the year again in the Northern Hemisphere. What is your preferred method of control, eradication, sting avoidance etc? I have been a Mosquito assassin for at least the last 10 years.
I am truly sore.
Last night I played 2 games (double header) of softball in south NJ.
One was a regularly scheduled game and one was a rainout make-up game.
I did a tremendous amount of running..... in both games.
This morning I had a regularly scheduled double header in central NJ.
4 games in 16 hours is more than what I played, when I was 25 years old.
I'm well over twice that age now.
Next year, I'm holding on my contracts, until I get a lovely full time masseuse guaranteed.
You teammates want me running in the outfield, running when I get on base, and running for you,
when you get on base (courtesy runner), better pony up some ca..ching for my new to be hired masseuse.
Too bad my usual one, is currently living on her yacht off the coast of Florida.
