Much ado about nothing

Here I was, all siked up over people learning of my blog, and what emotions might be stirred up from it, as it turned out, Thanksgiving dinner with our nieces and nephews can best be described as uneventful. While many more people are aware that I have a blog, not everyone is aware of the content, nor do they seem interested enough to read it.

It appears, even Naomi (see my last post) failed to inform anyone just yet, since the two people who I would have expected Naomi to say something to, did not give any indication they talked to her, when I met them for a bike ride yesterday morning.

So now I don't know whether to be relieved or disappointed? Maybe I'm not psychic after all! :)

I have a lot of people comment to me about my blog, but they never post anything they just read it like lurks.

So, they might have read it and not known what to say.

Which is just as annoying.

I am Marc's nephew. We hosted Thanksgiving Dinner and I wanted to clear a couple things up......

It was not Marc and Edie's niece that told me about Marc's condition. It was old information that I heard from her husband.

I purposely did not tell anyone about the health issues because I didn't want to consume their entire day with questions from concerned relatives. In addition, Aunt Edie hinted that she didn't want it to be the focus of discussion.

I didn't tell anyone (except Lauren), including my mother which is Edie's sister. Needless to say, they were all quite shocked when they received Aunt Edie's revelation email over this past weekend.

We found out about your website a year or two ago when you had the pictures posted of your new BBQ and we looked at it on my laptop on Thanksgiving. In addition, Aunt Edie announced that her new email address was edie@livingwithmcl.com.

I hope this clears up some of the reasons that there was not an emotional show on Thanksgiving. I didn't tell anyone so that you were more comfortable.

It is only now 12/10/2006 that the family is reading your blog. Not because they don't care, because they didn't know how.

Love you guys! Mark

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

Vaccine Mandates, what are they good for?

Not much, that's for sure! Simply showing evidence of receiving a Covid-19 vaccine (whether fake or not), does not mean you are protected from getting Covid-19, nor spreading it, if infected. We are all different, and too many of us, i.e. people who are immunocompromised/ immunosupressed, the elderly, or others for various reasons, do not [cannot] mount an immune response as good as younger and healthier individuals. What is evidence of immunity is a quantitative antibody test showing you have developed antibodies, and to what degree, either from natural immunity or the vaccine.  That is what we should be testing for. That is what is important. But for too long, many, i.e. the FDA, doctors, and other health experts discouraged people (and still are) from getting antibody tests, because there was little knowledge about what level of antibodies are needed to impart immunity to the virus. That of course is true, to some extent, but how can we ever find out [learn] the a...

Open letter to all Democrats

Stop the nonsense! Continuing to go after Trump, without any hope of getting a conviction, does nothing more than provide Republicans with an obstructionist dialogue (now that they have come up with the unconstitutional talking point) in addition to giving Trump much needed publicity, when we should be ignoring him. It's the pure definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result! Instead Democrats need to be laser focused on what is important to all Americans, i.e. healthcare, Social Security and Medicare, infrastructure reform, the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, to name just a few. And when you do talk about Trump, simply steer the conversation as to how the Trump administration botched everything, how Trump is responsible for the deaths of 400,000+ Americans, due to his inaction and the down playing of the pandemic, plus the deaths of 2 Capitol policeman during the insurrection Trump provoked and incited on January 6, 2021. ...
