[quote who="Jafo" reply="16" id="3848257"] Yes, we were going to book in for the second booster and the Flu shots....after the Grand Prix...and instead got the dreaded pox anyway.. [/quote] Sadly, the current Covid shots do not fully immunize, even after the first and second boosters, which is why Israel has authorised third and fourth boosters nationwide to hopefully reduce the spread and severity of the disease. That's why, even though I had the first two shots and t

Banned for leaving the trail of bull-crap in a public place for others to step on and spread even further... like at bus stops and getting the deliberately placed bull-crap transported far and wide.... to far-flung places where the bull hasn't been seen in years since their innocent droppings got associated with Donald Trump's thrice daily bullshit.

[quote who="DaveRI" reply="7" id="3848079"] I tried to get on board with this mentally, but I just can't. At this point the focus needs to be on Earth, all hands on deck. [/quote] Yes, we need to focus on Earth, it's where we live, but I believe the exploration of space to seek out other inhabitable planets is necessary for all life on Earth due to the damage mankind has done to it and continues to do. It will not happen in my lifetime but I still support the que

[quote who="Jafo" reply="14" id="3848100"] Mine's mild...had worse flu. Terry's is the most ill I've seen her in 42 years. Can hardly swallow...or speak above a whisper. [/quote] I've heard that some [luckier] people hardly suffer the ill-affects of Covid, and of [the not so lucky] others who cop it quite badly and suffer the full gamut of symptoms. Hopefully for Terry it passes quickly and she doesn't have the long-lasting affects that some people do. My sister'

There are some who think space exploration is a waste of time and money, but I'm not one of them. I believe there is much benefit for mankind, even if the returns are minimal at this time. Thing is, though, space exploration is still very much in its infancy and we've only scratched the surface thus far. However, this probe going to Uranus will open up our knowledge of space even more and possibly return real benefits to mankind in the process. For mine, it is

Hopefully the Covid passes real soon and that you and Terry have no lasting ill-affects, as some have/do. I've dodged it thus far, but then I don't get out alot to catch it... and when I have to go out I wear a mask as a precaution.... though research shows that masks are not 100% to prevent catching it.

To Vad_M and all Ukrainian members.... to all Ukranians, I hope the senseless hostilities in your country cease sooner rather than later and that life can return to as normal as it can be after the war. There will be much rebuilding to do and hopefully the international community will greatly assist with that, and that all those refugees who fled the country because of the hostilities can return home.

[quote who="LightStar" reply="10" id="3847518"] I have yet to figure out a valid reason as to why Putin even started this war. [/quote] Pootin uses the excuse that it is for Russia's security, but in truth it's a land grab and the theft of Ukrainian resourses. The Donbas is rich with industry and resources, and that's what Pootin is after. There is no valid reason, it's greed... and millions have suffered for it. The invasion itself is an atrocity and a

When i tell people i have "vascular parkinsonism Dementia" they automatically think i have made a misspelling, glad to have someone who understands it is Vascular Dementia with Heavy Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease, but not Parkinson's. Sorry to hear about your Dad, this is my future too. I have been told by my Doctors, when it goes full blown, i may have around 7 years before my own Body looses the ability to swallow amongst other terrible things. I do understand, this is

Two bikers are wanted by the law so they pack up some provisions and a blow-up doll each for the lonely nights ahead and hid out at a secret clubhous hide-away. All goes well for a few weeks while they hunt game to supplement their provisions and then found a spring for fresh water. Anyhow, the cops end up tracking them down and discover that one of the bikers is dead. After lenghty questioning and plenty of denials, the remaining biker confesses: "Alright, so I killed him

A Hells Angel runs over a pig on his way home from a countryside meeting and takes it into the nearest cop shop and flops it on the counter and says: "Oi, I ran over this on my way home."

A driver had just done away with his spectacles and had contact lenses put in. On his way home a cop pulls him over and asks for his license and rego details. The driver obliges and hands them over. The cop them walks around the car and inspects it for defects and tread on the tyres, etc. After completing that he goes back to the driver and says: "Your license states that you are supposed to be wearing glasses while driving.'

My father had vascular parkinsonism Dementia from his early sixties until he died aged 76. It wasn't too bad until he turned 72 and it was awful to see such a proud man decline so much in his latter years. My mother and I tried between us to care for him but it became too much on us both and we had no choice but to place him in a dementia unit at a nearby nursing home to give hime better care than we could manage ourselves. As for the conflict in Ukraine, I read that Pooti
