I'm sure most of those are on your reading list. 

My guess is that the Daily KOS is one  that your read Daily with your coffee.

And Congratulations on making sure that you put a virtue signal about getting vaccine #4, so the left can fawn all over you.

I never had chicken pox so no need to get the shot.

You might want to consider these other vaccines available so you don't have to worry:

Measles, mumps, Rubella, Polio, Hepatitus A, Hep B, Dengue Fever, Pnumonia, Meningitis, Whooping Cough, Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, Anthrax (in case you find yourself around any Goats),  and of course Rabies.

You and yours certainly wouldn't want to live too crazily? 

I mean with only 4 shots now for Covid, it strikes me that you are living "on the edge", just "Pushing the envelope"

Can I ask a personal question? 

At night, when you're all by yourself, do you run with scissors??

Just trying to help out.  

I myself tore my ACL and MCL, and so no more bouncing around and jumping down from 4 ft. Walls, unless I land on my rt. leg.

Quit skiing a long time ago.  Didn't care to wait in lines more than I skied, and the last time I went with my girlfriend at the time, I rolled down a Black Diamond slope.

Don't miss it one bit.  LOL

Moral of this story:   Get all the fun in while you have the chance and live life to the fullest. 

I just got the call last night at 7PM that a fairly good friend, came home to find her husband dead on the floor.  He was stone cold by the time she arrived home.  In his early 40s.

Her father and I are very, very good friends and I know her well.  

She just got married, a little over 1 year ago as well.  

So her life just turned upside down in an instant.  They haven't contacted me back as to the cause of death but my buddy Mike (the deceased's father in law) said that he and his son in law were golfing on Saturday and he became violently ill on the course and had to stop playing after 9 holes.  

He told Mike that if he didn't feel better he was going to the emergency room Monday morning.  

Don't know if he ever did, but it is too late now.  

The terrible thing for her is that she was the one who found her mother (Mike's 1st wife) dead on the bathroom floor while Mike was on a business trip.

And his wife was an avid runner of marathons like you were.

Bad luck seems to follow them around.  

What a shame.

I had angina and did not know what it was for about a month. Nothing that serious, but I felt almost an electrical vibration in the center of my chest when I exerted myself. It would stop when I rested. I woke up one night with that sensation again, and I thought this can't be right, and I'm already resting.

I had 100% blockage in 3 arteries in the heart and 90% blockage in three others. I had emergency bypass surgery, and I was not even allowed to sit up to go to the bathroom before the procedure, fearing the onset of a heart-attack that they could not save me from.

I felt silly calling for an ambulance in the middle of the night, but the Lord must have caused me to be alarmed enough to call 911. I likely would not have survived one more ordinary day without intervention.

Don't ignore symptoms, especially cardiac ones.

With all the anti-vax Trumptoids running around, it's the obvious way to go...

Oh wait, darn it, I almost forgot that you're now a Democrat so you get a pass.  

Sorry, my mistake.

Russ, what is it about the term "Democrat Party" that you find so offensive?
