My mom hasn't tested positive for it, for what it's worth, lol. But other than her and two other people I know who are uber cautious (with preexisting conditions), I don't think I know anyone who hasn't gotten it by now. Feel better soon.

Uh-oh. Sore throat was my first symptom. I was hoping it was the New Year's Eve karaoke-fest we had till 3 am, but no. Test, and if you're negative keep testing.

Yup, I avoided it for four years until last month. Paxlovid helped a lot. Stay well.

And (unrelated, but still), the stupid baby factory reproduced 8 times.

Wow is right.

I never had any interest in her (I think I stopped following gymnastics after Comaneci), but wow, didn't realize she was this much of a scumbag.

Well (thanks, 23andMe), my DNA contains less than 2% Neanderthal. How exactly would this affect my risk in that regard? I have a feeling the answer is, who knows.

Was just on the site. Best comment: "Americans live like they have free healthcare."

Thanks, DA. But did I miss the part where his death was tied to COVID?

Shawn is long gawn. Yawn Thanks, DA!

I guess we could ask Vaxman if he'd forward contact info to them. Not sure he'd get involved...

It would mean revealing identity too. I could be okay with this, but understand many people, even if they're already on FB, may not due to what we talk about freely on here...which should never change!

No private message capability has been the worst. You lose people and nothing can be done about it. :(

Thanks for the diligent reporting, DA. This guy was not just a walking disaster (to himself and others), he was quite a smug asshole.

What a gorgeous boy.

So sorry. Losing a beloved kitty hits hard.

Yeah, I could not find anything on him from fb. I get the sense his wife is Trumpy. His two sons don’t have any Facebook presence whatsoever (even locked down). Oh well.

I'll give it a look.

Really had to skim with this one. His Protocol Kills wife? Been there, read it. Fuck that sanctimonious Xtian noise. Looks like his free-thinking cost him. No huge loss to the rest of us.

Can’t pick a favorite between these two felines, Nico and Remy. AKA Babycat and Mouseface. Currently 1 and 3 years old. All my kitties have been wonderful, but there’s something special about being with them from kittenhood.
