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.
It should be snow!
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.
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.
Just checking!

Thanks for sharing!

Was there sound on yours Glad?
If I can do it, I will do it. Muscles, that don't get used, atrophy!
And I have stubborn Scandinavian in me.😉
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.
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!!!!
Effect is a noun, affect is a verb.
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.
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.
Covid's impact on the brain it seems cannot be all or nothing. I wonder, too, about the grading and steps of damage in those that recover. Does it somehow affect just some brains and these are people that most often die. Does it affect an area of the brain that is responsible for recovery from sickness and disease? So much is not known about Covid and it will be years.
Is this the right effect vs affect? This one just always gets me, it seems.

Just stopping by to say goodnight, and I hope you are feeling better. 🦙️
I will look for the original study.
The ultimate brain damage: 😡 is death.
["Brain damage worse in deadly COVID cases
In this regard, the study authors found that markers of brain damage were worse in patients who did not survive their coronavirus infection. The markers in patients who died of COVID were 124 percent higher than those who eventually left the hospital."]
I am not doubting the study, just the author of the article to convey the facts accurately throughout.
I am going to see the actual study.
I am interested because I see signs of mental decline in someone we know about.
