About a year and a half ago my wife was given a new antibiotic for a UTI. 6 weeks later she wound up in the hospital for over a month and almost died with liver numbers over 10k. The drug side effect attacked her immune system causing autoimmune Hepatitis along with pancreatitus. She has been on prednisone since and recently wound up back in the hospital a couple weeks after her flu shot doctors recommended last fall with another serious spike in liver numbers. The side effects of these drugs can be fatal and will screw up the rest of your life but with overuse of things like antibiotics when we were younger new drugs must be developed for even simple infections. My flu shot got me a ride in an ambulance to the ER last fall but that's another story.

Since I had and am still recovering from Guillain-Barre Syndrome a year ago I keep seeing warnings from vaccines how they increase the risk. My case was triggered by a sinus infection but a friend of ours got GBS from the pneumonia vaccine last June. Needless to say we won't be taking any vaccines here. We didn't anyway. I won't even take the tetanus shot anymore. DPT is not just tetanus and why do all these vaccines have aluminum and other crap in them??? I only took two flu shots in 35 years teaching and the last one was probably 20 years ago. Didn't make a difference one way or the other and I worked in a petri dish!!

I used To be able to handle cold but couldn't do it anymore at my age. Had to do something and this will give us a couple more years here. We get some big snow off the lake with constant cold winds and this makes plowing fun again. Plus my wife can't help with the snow anymore. Got the RTV for plowing small storms on warm sunny days also.

I still use my old 8 speed manual WheelHorse Tractor with a Johnny Bucket and Plow. For the litte we get here in NC it is perfect. I can move 6-8" off my 100' driveway in about an hour. Takes that pile awhile to melt. but the driveay clears muc faster once the sun comes out.

I can't have any real toys until I have 50 acres. I once owned a Ford 1952 8N, but gave it to my father who used in at his place in rural SC for years. Man, where those tractors durable... perfect for his little hobby farm (slice of heaven).

It looks like i may need to break it out as forcaster are talking about 7" by weeks end here in NC.

Wonder where Gore is hiding?

ABSOLUTELY it was, to make us sick. Check a box of FRUITY PEBBLES some time, that crap will make you want to throw up.

There is NOTHING in a modern grocery store that is eldible except on the perimeter where fresh veggies, fruits, and meats are located. And you best read the labels carefully on those items. It is becoming in increasingly difficult to find wholesome healthy foods in grocery stores. Farm raised Salmon? Might as well eat a bag of potato chips!

We stopped eatting out 20 years ago. I noticed that where ever we went the food tasted the same, and made me feel bad. Simply isn't safe for your long term health to do so.

Take a peek at Fruit Loops, multiple colored dyes on those little surgary tidbits, but not so in Canada and Europe. Same box, but different contents. Ever wonder why? Every one of those dyes are known carcinogens.

Probably in his 10,000 sq ft mansion on the coast.

Exactly what I thought.
With greta.

Our food is banned in (IIRC) 13 other countries. If you google US food and other countries you'll be shocked at the results.

Here's a sample of what's in our food compared to the UK

Precisely why I quit eating “healthy” oatmeal.

At least this time you've reinforced the sides with concrete, so run-away teenagers don't go tearing holes through the track.

And leaving a hole in the side of the berm that catches the nose of the sled of the next person while they fly down skeleton-style, stopping the sled dead, while they slide right off the front and continue along the track on their belly, like a penguin.

Ask me how I know.

No, he would never build on the coast.

Seeing as how it's all going to be underwater any day now, only a fool would do that.

I had enough of these on four Med cruises, I don’t need nor want anymore. And these were NOT OPTIONAL.!!
