Makin' some changes

I've decided it's time to make some changes in my life, now that I'm no longer working. The first thing, obviously was to change the theme of my blog. I kept the previous one way too long. And secondly, I've decided to take a well earned break from blogging. (There are other changes as well, I'm just not going to bore everyone with them.)

I started this blog over 5 years ago, and kept it going longer than most, but now this seems like the opportune time to take a break.

It's just too hard coming up with something perceptive [or even imperceptive] to write about, on a regular basis. Plus I just don't have the motivation to continue any longer. (And my advertising revenues are down, which means hardly anyone is reading my blog anyways.) I may still post occasionally if it suits my fancy, or if I come across some valuable information I feel is worth sharing. Just don't count on much.

But before I go, I thought I would leave everyone with a few pearls of wisdom, I've learned over this long journey (which I may update from time to time), in no particular order.

  1. Brush and floss your teeth twice a day, every day. Good dental hygiene is the single most important factor to maintaining good health.

  2. You can't boost your immune system, and even if you could, you wouldn't want to? An over active immune system is the biggest cause of most serious health issues.

  3. Doctors are not gods. They're human, and subject to the same failings as the rest of us.

  4. Don't be stupid. Everyone has an agenda, and it most likely isn't to benefit you.

  5. When cooking, the biggest mistake most people make is not adding enough salt.

  6. The future [really] is just a concept we use to avoid living today.

  7. There isn't anyone in the world you have to prove anything to, except yourself.

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. ...
