And my son is also experiencing ageism - but in reverse! While job searching he is facing entry- level jobs requiring 5-6 years experience
We're in the same boat and it's very discouraging. 😞

1 out of 7 in my family got covid over the holidays. No one took the booster. It was a very mild case and did not spread to others even without isolation.

If the fish still felt cold to the touch when you discovered it, I will okay with cooking and eating it today.

FL Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo has called for a halt to the use of all mRNA vaccines in FL, claiming that they are contaminated with foreign DNA and can alter human DNA and become part of the human genome.
He's not the only one. Over the last few months, several labs and scientists have discovered similar contamination and are calling for a halt until it can be proven that integration into human DNA is not a thing. Here's a preprint: https://osf.io/preprints/osf/mjc97
One of the authors explains it this way:
"... there are currently a number of articles being written about the residual DNA found in Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 product vials. This is good. The presence of many, many tiny (potentially undetectable unless you use the right assay) DNA fragments in the commercial vials is indeed an extremely important issue, and one that warrants mass acknowledgement and subsequent follow-up and continued investigations.
Ultimately, we need to find out (like yesterday) if any of this DNA got integrated into any human genomes. In addition to testing a lot more vials, filling in the data gaps for the dose response curve to prove causal effects of DNA:SAEs (if they exist), we need to test injected people’s stem cells and germ line cells for integration of any of this DNA. Once we can prove in a large enough sample of injected individuals that integration did not occur, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief and definitively state that integration of this foreign contaminant DNA is not an issue.
NOT BEFORE." (article)
Kevin McKernan is probably the first scientist to discover this in his lab and since then others have independently seen the same thing.

You can imagine how mad I was to be in a laundromat when I was supposed to be in Disneyland Paris after traveling 5000 miles.
We had a nightmare airbnb experience in Paris also. The problem? There was no housing for us and to this day I still don't know what exactly happened. I have since realized that all my chats had been made with a bot. Imagine arriving at a foreign country with 5 kids in tow and finally finding your way to the apartment only to see that there was no key to any apartment for you. After a string of reassuring emails from the owner and checking ourselves into a hotel at a sketchy location, the next morning we got a message saying sorry, they had to cancel our reservation because the host could not get in touch with the concierge. 🤬

Yup!
After that experience, I will never again book an airbnb in a foreign country.

Ok, to be honest, I do not completely understand it. Does that mean the vaccine only worked for 30 days and basically my previous vaccinations are useless. So, if I got my Covid booster in September, it will be useless for my travel coming up to Africa?
I think it's saying that if you have received the latest booster, compared to people who have had no recent booster, you have 0.37 chance for COVID-19 hospitalization, 0.42 for ED/UC visits, and 0.42 for outpatient visits. The booster seems to lower your odds for those outcomes. Surprisingly, without the latest booster, those with previous vaccinations are at about the same place with regards to risks compared to the unvaccinated.

I may not serve it to guests, but in the family, we've eaten four-day-old rice plenty of times without issues.

What are you working in this month?
So happy to see your cute creations! I wish I were not so intimidated by my sewing machine. Anyway, you seem to have come a long way since those terrible days in the hospital. I hope your health is back to a great place.

There's actually research showing a correlation between drinking piping hot beverages frequently and esophageal cancer. The nature of the research means confounding factors can't be ruled out, but it's concerning enough that I don't drink mine boiling hot.
Yikes! Thank you. You've scared me enough towards changing this potentially harmful habit.

What I'm really curious is: what is the concern? Caffeine, temperature of the drink, or just general addiction?
I've burned the roof of my mouth and my throat more than a few times from sipping practically boiling water. I must have developed a "callused" mouth now as I can tolerate super hot liquid.

I don't argue with Austen
I still don't like it, but the way Austen uses them/they is about the only way I can tolerate it. In other words, it is only okay (in my grumpy opinion) when the antecedent is a word like anyone, everyone, whoever, etc. and having to say "he or she" all the time is too clunky.

Using the pronoun "they/them" to refer to a singular person in written articles and posts on public forums. It is confusing and requires multiple readings to understand. I also think it's almost always unnecessary.

How many kids came knocking on your door? We passed out goodies to fewer than ten. Where have all the kids gone?

According to Jerusalem Post, they were evacuated to safety via a helicopter.

What do you all do with the decor during dinner time? It seems our dining table is never big enough for just the dishes. And how do you prevent bits of food from falling onto your pretty decorations?

Although I can agree some have reactions as bad as current Covid strands, I will say that you never know if you will be that person who gets long Covid or it affects your lungs. My dad had Covid in April and he now has nodules in his lungs.
I am sorry about your dad. Was he vaccinated before he got his Covid infection?
We've all had covid at least two times, and the cases with Omicron were mild. Since the covid vaccine/booster is not proven to prevent infection or long covid, and not without risks, we will pass.

We studied rates of myocarditis after a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with acute and postacute events other than myocarditis, including hospitalizations, intensive care unit admissions, and death.40 The present study showed increased risk of myocarditis after a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the risk was highest in the older age groups, whereas the risk of myocarditis after vaccination was highest in the younger age groups. However, the estimated risk of any outcome after SARS-CoV-2 infection will be dependent on the testing strategy. If only severe COVID-19 cases are tested, the association with other events will be strengthened owing to selection bias. Therefore, to reduce selection bias in our analyses of myocarditis after SARS-CoV-2 infection, we included only the period from August 2020 onward, when testing was widely available in the Nordic countries.

Are there any people who are not masking and taking precautions but who have not had covid?
Yes, I know a couple of young men in their late teens who don't take precautions, unvaxxed, are not masking, and haven't had covid, even when their family members were sick with the virus.

Oh, and I don't know if you'd want to do it, but I totally plan to at some point to walk from the north tip of Manhattan to the south tip. Amazingly enough, it would only take 4 hours or so . . . more if you took the scenic route, of course, but it's really not THAT long. And it'd give you a cool sense of the city.
Sounds like a great thing to do. Do you have any suggestion on which routes to take?

There was a dad here who lost his battle against cancer. I can't remember his name.
