I've been thinking long and hard and just don't know how best to express. For ME, and this is MY personal opinion based on many years of nursing and knowledge of infectious disease, I just want my family and friends to get vaccinated to protect themselves from serious illness or worse. There is no other shortcut to eliminate the pandemic .

I want to be free from the need to protect myself (and others) by using these....

Me, too, Pat! I'd love to see the end of this nasty illness! We just lost a wonderful neighbor entirely too early because of complications from Covid! We need to take this threat seriously and do all we can to protect ourselves and others, too! I ,too,have many years of nursing experience both hands on and management..

...is to remember fondly the spirits of Christmases past, even if we did have one of those "toilet brush factory trees." This was from 1975.

Thanks. He was crazy, but you won't know it from that Christmas scene. A few years earlier, he flushed an entire nest of chipmunks out of our back yard (see PDF attachment if you dare) and deposited their half-eaten corpses in our garage, via the cat door. He was a proud hunter, even going after a nest of copperheads! He never got snake-bit.

They've become more realistic over the years. The one in that picture was pretty blatant, though. And it WAS made in the same factory that made toilet brushes. The ones that really crack me up are the cell phone towers that have fake "tree branches" with the antennae nested among them.
