COVID-19

[WOTR]

Well, my mother has went from the camp of "I don't think I want the vaccine yet" to "I think maybe I should get it." I actually refuse to try to influence her one way or the other. She is of the age where you start to incur some risk. I'm pretty sure I would still be saying "shove your vax", but I have said from the start that everybody needs to make their own decisions.

She knows enough anti vaxers that I don't feel it necessary to give her that side. Actually tonight I told her that one of the videos her friend sent her was crap. It was a "doctor" saying that the vaccine cannot work because covid affects your lungs and the vaccine does not go to your lungs." I gently pointed out that the virus is throughout your body and symptoms manifest in the lungs. I mean, if your going to be giving her reasons to not be vaccinated, at least make sure that they are actual (possible) reasons and not 100% BS...

I confess, I leaned on my folks pretty hard to get it after I saw the kind of shizzle they were getting on facebook from the Trumpy uncles and the one aunt with a garage full of Bakker buckets who shoots Silversol up her nono.  Somebody had to speak up for the Establishment.

Along with the faith-healing and supplements we (my family) have that typical Old-World-peasant mistrust of doctors generally:  of my folks' generation (they are 11 including siblings) two have died in car wrecks and two from obvious cancers left untreated until weeks before they croak.  And both mom & dad have things they won't see the doctor for out of embarrassment.  I tell them all the time, you moved to the country with the greatest healthcare in the world but for all your superstition you might as well be living in a sheepshed up the Hardangervidda and peeing in a bucket under the bed.  They just laugh and ignore me.

They’re right to laugh at you. If you’re lucky enough to live long enough, once they pass and there’s no opportunity to listen to or ignore them anymore, you may have the revelation that they were right after all about a good many things. They probably worry that you’ll never be able to think for yourself and are given to swallowing the kind of propaganda they probably had to flee from wholesale and without question. Tsk, tsk...no grandkids and you’re still making them worry about you. Give them a big hug the next time you see them.

P.S. It’s a good thing you’re here to speak up for the establishment. They have such trouble getting their message out these days.

What if the pine trees came from land owned by Bill Gates or one of his reptillian henchlizards? Didn't think of that did ya, ya dick! Stop spreading your Deep State propaganda, you obnoxious news-weasel.

Did someone lisp something?

This one looks like she's working for Beijing. 'Go out and make videos telling these idiots to drink trees.' Probably covered in dog piss too.

Haha that is nothing new, it is the way people got vitamins in the winter way up north before fruit.  Fir and spruce are good, too.  I like to eat the new tips of fir and spruce this time of year, just strip off all the needles and eat the bright green stem underneath, very citrusy and refreshing.

Mom used to chew oozes of pitch off the tree because they didn’t have gum except once in a blue moon and then had to pass the rare stick between seven children and stick it on the bedpost overnight.

Douglas fir martinis were a thing here a few years ago, hipsters are catching on.

I can’t see how you can possibly blame me for that, my thumb is fine and I did 4 💪 45-lb (x2!) lifts today.  And I don’t have a tiny magnet like that 😢 or I would see.  She probably stuck it on with spit or whatever ungodly secretions her upper flab produces.

Ok - so you didn't put some sort of weird Norwegian curse on me then?
I was thinking surgical pins but I am not sure if that would actually work. Fatty oils seems to be a more logical conclusion.

I did not!  I want your good typing thumb in top condition.

I have been paying attention to Tootsie!  From what I’ve heard it sounds like she can teach me a thing or two about building muscle mass.

no, i could not 

[Walks_At_Night]

Well I guess that's it then.
