Cost Of Having Fun

I don't know if I can do a 30 minute G rated video or not.   PG-13 is probably the best I can hope for, so as soon as the camera gets turned on I'll have to lay down with Jackson and keep my mouth shut.

So that's what it takes?  I just turn on a video camera.  Sweet!

Kyrie Irving, Brooklyn Nets NBA player, chose to sit out instead of vaxing and is giving up $33.33 million.

OPINION ALERT ... I REPEAT ... the following is MY PERSONAL OPINION: He's a blooming idiot. I'm guessing his next-door neighbor didn't die of Covid at age 39 like mine did. Young police officer with a fiance and a good man excited to become a stepfather to her two young children.

Time is our most valuable commodity, and I am glad I have figured this out at 40 years old instead of 60.  My wife and I are pretty frugal, which allows us to take lots of small vacations and trips.  Neither of us make a ton of money but in our area of the world(rural arkansas) I would say we are middle class or upper middle class, and I am very happy with it.  My biggest issue is time off.  Currently I work the 5 day grind, and I am hoping to start the next year with more vacation time or start working a job that is 4 days a week.

 

Unlimited money?  I would like to see adoptions become affordable or free for anyone willing to try. For me?  I would need a half dozen houses in places along the coast, and a bay boat at each of them, and a 34ft freeman docked in biloxi(closest saltwater to my house)

See, now here's a case for never betting your heart. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you're a big Georgia fan. That's great! Without dedicated fans, our sports world suffers. But this game basically meant "notta" to Georgia. Win or lose, the Dawgs were bound for the playoffs. On the other hand, if Bama had lost, they risked falling out of the playoffs. I try to never bet against motivation. It'll bite you fast and hard.

Believe me, I considered the motivation factor with Georgia getting in the playoffs win or lose. That had nothing to do with the final score. Georgia wanted to win just as bad as Bama. They just got it handed to them and Young had a big day and won the Heisman to go along with it. I tip my cap to those guys. I was surprised they blocked up front that well, they have struggled for most of the year. It's never easy picking against the spread. This may go to a round 2, see who has punches left to throw.

I agree 1000%. I know a 16-yr-old kid who got it and "recovered" this fall ,but can't play b-ball for his HS this year because he's got an awful case of Myocarditis and a leaky valve caused by COVID. He last 90 seconds on the treadmill at the cardiologist before quitting and collapsing. Hopefully with time he'll recover and live a normal life, but knows? There have been college and pro athletes in the same boat. I'd take 15 jabs for $33 mil if anyone is offering!

I know 3 people who have had covid twice.  All vaxed.  I wish we had cheaper testing.   I had a brutal cold in Feb 2020.  At that time all of the salesmen in our office were traveling all over north America.  I still wonder if I had it.  And I wish I knew.

Let's try to keep this on the subject.  This can go south quick.

If you donate blood and ask for them to check for antibodies- they will do it for free. Some studies say antibodies are with you for a long time - maybe even a lifetime. Then you might know if you had it.

The last time I donated I did it at a blood drive but not run by Red Cross so they didn’t do it.  It’s on my list though. Thx
