Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Affect: an INFLUENCE ON something
Effect: a RESULT OF something
If I'm not sure which one to use, I substitute "influence on" or "result of" to tell if I'm using them correctly.
You used affect correctly. :-)
*I like the RAVEN acronym in the link. Remember Affect is a Verb, and Effect is a Noun.
Yes, I was giving the opposite version of what Covid did to my sister in law, who was already 5 years into Alzheimer's disease. She went into a downward spiral of which she could not recover once she stopped eating, et al.
Yes, you used "affect" correctly, IMO.
Effect is a noun, affect is a verb.
That family is not getting a break. As of yesterday, Sil has covid - probably got it from a guy at work. So far he has a bit of a cough, and is very muscle achy and tired. And, yes, he had two shots and a booster. Hopefully he won't get any worse or have lasting side effects. Also, hopefully, neither dd nor dgs will get it. It seems unpredictable who will get it in a family.
Blessings in disguise - I normally would have asked them for help with cleaning up the basement, but now not with dd and her health issue. Yesterday, I was thinking of going over to borrow their fan to dry things up. Glad I didn't. I am managing - just have to do a bit at a time. I will bag and put out the water damaged and moldy stuff today, and cover the area with mold spray. I am so done with water damage and mold!!!!
re covid - I have to laugh as I already often have well more than half the symptoms due to allergies, and CFS/FM. How would I know that I got it? The things I would have to look for are a fever (haven't had one in years) and a headache. Oh well. Life goes on.
If I can do it, I will do it. Muscles, that don't get used, atrophy!
And I have stubborn Scandinavian in me.😉

Thanks for sharing!

Was there sound on yours Glad?
Just checking!
from The Globe and Mail
"Meanwhile, a Red Deer restaurant has closed temporarily after public health inspectors say some of its staff accepted dog photos instead of vaccine passports to dine-in."
Takes all kinds!!!!
Sil is feeling better. Hopefully he will be over it in a few days. Dd has no signs of infection so far.
I am finding it very weird at my age to have one (adult)child with diabetes and one with cancer. The latter, particularly, is something I never expected.
When was the last time anyone took 5 doses of any vaccines to be protected?
My guess is that it will not stop at #5.
Insanity!!!
These so called vaccines have been shown to be IN-effective, except to cause harm from maiming to death to many unlucky people.
It should be snow!

Meanwhile, Pfizer and Moderna are happy to sell more shots, raking in Billions of dollars worldwide. The more variants the better for them. Covid vaccines aren't free. We tax payers pay every red cent of it. And let's not forget, many people paid the ultimate price.
Extremely conservative here, vaccination rate is less than 40%.
England just said they are ending all covid mandates. Inckuding forced vaccination, masks and social distancing. Doubt the USA media will report on this either. The narrative is slowly starting to crumble on this but I have to wonder what they have up their sleeves to keep it going.
Meanwhile, the dictator in the Philippines has ordered arrest of any unvaccinated people who violate his stay at home order. In Australia, indigenous people are being removed and forced to get vaccinated against their will.
