Re: Dec 26, 2021
Last time I talked to him was just after he got back. He joked that his first mistake was allowing her to buy an upper body upgrade. Got her too much attention.MadMonkey wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 3:57 pmUnfortunately that's a story I've heard over and over.

He was a fireman in Forney. He was sending back 150K a year. Unfortunately for him it ended in his wife cheating and then divorcing him. After she blew all the money while he was away earning it. That was ten years ago when 150K was some very big money. I forget what he did over there but it was in Iraq.
And yeah, I had time to come home, move, and relax just a bit before heading back out here. The good news is that I'm in a friendly area now. I just saw a big Christian church with a cross on it today, something you'd never see in Afghanistan
Somehow I would never expect a Christian church in an area so hostile to Christians. Maybe there is hope for Iraq.

Re: Dec 26, 2021
I was wondering about how many folks were heading to hospital. Did it seem like a lot of them were sent home after being told they had it? This new variant is contagious as it get's. The MSM news channels have everybody that watches them scared out of their ever loving minds. It will be nice when they can start handing out a pill at first symptoms. Like Tamaflue. "Here are your pills. Go home and watch some more propaganda".BigGuy wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 9:09 pm Good reason to not post. I'm glad everybody had a peaceful Christmas.
I worked the ER as security. We were swamped. Rooms full, and I was hauling chairs from offices to the waiting room. We still had people standing and waiting outside in their cars. Head nurse tolld me it was 90% positive covid tests. He was taking 5 minutes to stuff some pizza down his neck. He said, "They're all testing positive. H@!!, everybody in this building will test positive."
I felt like hammered dog meat when I got home. I kept my mask on to protect my immune compromised wife. Body aches, nose running, so tired I could barely stand, headache, and shivering.
I took a couple of tylenol and put on a heavy shirt. An hour later, I felt much better. I'm thinking it was just the extra exertion at work. We we're out of bottled water and a huge shipment came in that I had to put away. Then I was hauling chairs from one side of the building to another. Finally, it was 65 degrees in the waiting room. I've still got smell and taste, so I'm going with worn out and frozen as opposed to Covid.
Several kids at my grand daughters school got it the week before Christmas break. So far none of them have been admitted to hospital. Last Tuesday my grand daughter started showing symptoms. She was coughing like crazy yesterday but today she hardly coughed at all. They are taking her to Doctor tomorrow just to be safe but she looks to have blown through it.
