fortyearspickn Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 At the risk of this getting deleted because a couple of members turn it into a negative, political argument ... I HOPE WE CAN ALL FIND THE TIME TODAY TO REFLECT ON OUR FREEDOMS AND HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE, COMPARED TO MANY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. To 'pass it on' this blessing - try to do something to celebrate what we share as a nation and try to share that patriotism with your family and children. Even something as small as grilling hot dogs ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Nothing really negative here, but mostly I've been telling people to be careful and don't blow their fingers off. But recall one amusing thing one of my daughters said one year(she was 5 at the time)..... "It's a good thing those guys back then( her reference to the Founding Fathers) picked July to make America. I'd hate to go watch fireworks in the Wintertime. " No dummies, those guys "back then". Have a good 4th all. Whitefang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I am grateful for my Freedoms & proudly Celebrate July 4th. Have a great one! I live in Palm Springs, Ca. July 4th here is 100+ degrees! We usually go to the Beach… I’d say Winter would be a great time but all the Country Clubs have Fireworks Shows for their Welcome Back Seasons for their wealthy multi Home Members! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Happy 4th of July, it's the USA's birthday and if you don't like it get your own countries birthday. Yeah fireworks will be lit off tonight to scare the dog into hiding under the bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted July 4, 2022 Author Share Posted July 4, 2022 Three dogs here: One gets scared - the other two feed off it. Maybe if I drag them into the backyard and sit with them in a lawn chair for an hour or so. Tried everything else. Always someone within 3 or 4 houses shooting off rockets. S.A.M.s !

Sgt. Pepper Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Saw X open for Oingo Boingo once and then again open for David Bowie. Sadly Billy Zoom was not the guitarist when I saw them. Edited July 4, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed - even though the dogs hate it - I love the fireworks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 This year wasn’t a good holiday for me. Was feeling sick yesterday and got a PCR after a rapid test told me I was positive. Well got my PCR results today to confirm the obvious. Second time getting this crap… it’s worse the second time around too - for me at least. I usually like the 4th as I go see my friends.

Mr. Gibson Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I thought people who got the vaccine were safe from getting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Kicking a man when he’s down huh @Mr. Gibson just like the teeth you kicked out of your farm animals to make the biting hurt less when you’re trying to make the next generation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gibson Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Nobody’s kicking anyone. I thought that’s why people got vaccinated to avoid disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is I’m not doing so good right now and I know what you said about this crap in the recent past. I don’t care if you don’t get a vaccine or even want to fight anyone about it. I just don’t take crap from anyone as this wouldn’t be the first time you’ve tried to get under my skin with some crass comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 While I think of it, a Sri Lankan audiophile recommended this tea for helping with COVID symptoms. I had to use it both times I contracted it and it does seem to help: Samahan Herbal Supplement https://www.amazon.com/Samahan-Ayurvedic-Herbal-Packets-Lankan/dp/B017VR4122 It's probably pond water and pepper strained through a pair of used panty hose.

Pinch Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Feel better. Mr. Gibson: I got it and got over it quickly (taste and smell took a couple weeks). Do I feel like I'd gotten sicker and for longer w/o the vaccine? Absolutely. It didn't get into my lungs as far as symptoms go, and the early ones to get it that I know, before the vaccines, were uniformly sick for a long time and could hardly breathe. So I think it was good that I got the vaccine. Early smell training if needed. Rose, lemon, eucalyptus and clove are the essential oils used in studies. My single case is of course anecdotal, but just my two cents. Edited July 6, 2022 by Pinch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
