I still remember some of the kids my age got permanent scars from those things.

The best salmon I have ever bought was Faroe Island salmon. It is farmed, but in large containers in the open waters of the Northern Atlantic. They feed and roam naturally. It is not cheap, but it comes out so tender and delicious in the smoker.

I assume you are talking about the COVID shot. It is a question they ask when you donate. They just want to make sure you have not taken a live virus vaccine within 14 days. They say the blood from the vaccinated is safe (supposedly). I have been donating most my life. Blood is in short supply...

I haven't gotten a flu shot in years. Bugs the crap out of my wife. I am lucky my doctor doesn't push it on me. Heck, I have gotten through two really minor colds while everyone at work kept taking off sick.

Looks like he's tired of it, and decided to jump.

OMG! I can't believe the naiveite of people thinking that ordering a diet soda is a good alternative. My God, just drink water, you fool! I like beer, and will admit a lot of my hydration comes from the water in beer. It's a crutch. But I will not drink sugary or diet soda. And throughout the...

Yup! And another one saying if you are on this depression med, and are still having issues, then you need to add this one.

Sounds about right to me!

Excellent points. I would add that drinking plenty of water helps absorb and eliminate salt. So staying hydrated is also big.

I have considered those many times over the years. It's one of those things that if you spend the money on them, you will never need them. So why am I waiting?

So true! I can't believe how many drug ads, the long one or two minute drug ads, say something like if you are taking that, and have these symptoms, then you need this, in addition. What? So I need this new drug to battle the side effects of that drug? Fuck that!

No meds here besides a low dose beta blocker due to history of heart disease in family. So far it's well controlled with check up with cardiologist reduced to every 2 years. I was taking magnesium, but after a long period of frequent diarrhea, found that to be the biggest contributor. I do take...

We would need a bigger freezer for that. A good size deer all processed and boneless takes up about 2 liquor bottle boxes. If I get two deer, it's pushing our freezer with all the other crap the wife puts in it.

Ain't nothing wrong with Spam, it's just spiced ham made from the shoulder that used to go to scrap, IIRC.

Good fresh protein.

So when I got home today, with the sun barely melting the top of all the ice, I could not get traction to get up my sidewalk. I felt like a live Funniest Home Video. I would take a couple steps and slide back down. I was grabbing on any little chuck of ice protruding up. My wife, who had been...

Food prone to shrinkage? Hard pass.

Due to my poorly timed cataract, I was unable to harvest a deer this year for the first time in 26 years. Been keeping my eye out for beef deals. There is a really good albeit pricey butcher in Charlottesville that has occasional specials. And my favorite farm market always has beef. But it's...

That's a metric crap ton of snow!

I ended up just shortening mine. Easy to do with Photos.
