Some people look better with grey hair than others.

Hubby's hair turned white when he was relatively young. He used something on it that kept it very white and it looked distinguished and great.

My skin tones don't look so good with grey hair, so I've colored it for 40+ years. With Covid and shutdowns, I wasn't able to get it frequently for coloring, and recently it was all grey, and I thought I looked a sight. Brought my self-esteem way down, which I don't need.

Finally got it colored again and feeling 110% better.
Can't be bothered with molasses.

Joe's story is covered on sorryantivaxxer.com

Many interesting and bizarre Covid aftermaths on that site.

I think I read recently that Iceland is the world's safest/least crimes country.

That makes sense.
When women rule, they don't want any more messes to clean up than nature produces!

I've had the radioactive stress test a number of times. No big deal.

I could no longer do the treadmill test.
(I am older than you.)
I just consider it another way of monitoring the status of heart and arteries.

My reaction would be to go for it.

Don't overthink the possible ways of leaving the earth.
There are other outcomes that are more unpleasant than those you have pondered.
A stroke with long-term disabilities is worth avoiding; really, any illness with long-term disability is pretty bad.

One never knows what joy is just around the corner.

Trump has proportionally more men than women.

Dems win the women's vote regularly.

That number - 50%- is probably about on par with many nursing home staffs

nationwide.
Most of the deaths of nursing home residents were caused by staff bringing it into the facility.

Remember that nursing home staffs are low-paid, for the most part.
Usually not well-educated, and often not particularly interested in patient care.

I'm attuned to this as a family member of a long-term care resident.
The Covid experience has been especially hard on these residents/patients who have spent much time under quarantine.
Every time a staff member turned up with Covid, the facility was closed down, and this went on for months on end

Unfortunately, his son Andrew appears to be not be the one who will help.

Andrew has equally bad ideas and intentions.
Hope there is a daughter or two to intervene, or even a girl friend (?) that Rudy would listen to.

I've followed Burke's illness now and again.

Last notice, about Aug. 28, he was off the ventilator and going into "intense rehab".

I do not wish him ill, but wouldn't be sad if he was no longer able to speak out with false and damaging info.
