Been playing real Solitaire a lot, with a deck of cards instead of the computer "You mean you have to use your hands"? "Make like a tree and get out of here."

In doing so, I ran into the first complete shutout... After laying out the cards, I had no moves and going through the remaining deck, I had no moves at all. I would venture to say that has never happened to anyone besides me in the History of Solitaire.
That's happened to me so many times!

Total number of Covid cases in the USA went down overnight. I wonder how that happens?
That's why they've desperately been trying to find a new plandemic to plague/control us with...

Ruby and I did a mock up of the proposed closet walls today just to see what it will feel like. We used blue tape on the floor and zip wall for one of the walls.

Here’s the proposed walls and then our mock up.

The amazing thing is that our blue tape came out to within 3/4” of the Sketchup calculation.

HAHA Sarcasm noted.
No, I'm serious. I used to think maybe on the computer they programmed the game so it wouldn't happen, because with a real pack of cards it happened to me so often.

When I paid my property taxes there was a clean piece (40"or so) of nylon flag rope by the parking space. I picked it up thinking I'll keep it near so the next time I see one of those cool clickbait knots pop up I'll be ready. So I just tied the anchor knot then tried a figure eight in a bight. Knots are fun!

Casino handed out boxes of chocolate covered pretzels to us Sunday but some of them were dark chocolate. I read an article last week that they make dark chocolate by adding lead to it. So I didn't eat the dark ones yet. They tested like 100 brands of dark chocolates and found lead in like 98 of them. I'm going to call the company that made these and see if they still put lead in theirs.

When I saw my ophthalmologist I mentioned that I made my own eye drops. He asked me what I used for the liquid and I told him normal saline and he didn't freak out.

Did the US really use a sidewinder missile to take out a balloon? Isn't that a bit of overkill? What did that cost us?

The US military is known to waste a lot of $. I've seen memes about Chinese spy balloons but I've been out of the loop. Still tired and a little under the weather after getting food poisoning.
Mom is feeling better at least. My brother has an appointment today. Might stop by Walmart afterward. Still trying to get my baker's rack from a friend's ex. He wouldn't let me come get it the day I was supposed to get it and said he would try to drop it off but never did. I think he's trying to keep it.

I'm trying to wake myself up more.

I can't help but notice you've been absent for a few days, Z?

I may have posted this before as a screen print but here it is in text;

“The life of a seamstress is no smaller than the life of a queen, the life of a child with Down syndrome no less filled with promise than the life of a philosopher, because the only significant measure of your life is the positive effect you have on others, either by conscious acts of will or by unconscious example.” Dean Koontz

Tonight starts a Doctor run summit on Long Haul Chronic Fatigue Syndrome... It lasts a week, Free to watch episodes every night, or I think it's $97 to buy the series.

If people aren't able to watch the first episodes tonight, they will probably repeat all of the episodes on a "48 Hour" Weekend binge kind of thing. That's how all the summits I have watched in the last 15 years operate. Could be different, haven't seen one by Dr. Talks yet, but I bet it's the same.

Now... WHO on this forum has Chronic Fatigue besides a Louisiana-er and a Nurse?

Ruby and I have watched a few of them. I think 3 and 4 so far. Good stuff!

I don’t know…I was unaware that we had any airplanes that would go up to 60,000ft except the SR-71 and the U2. It could be the F22 launched a sidewinder from a lower altitude and let the missile climb to 58,000 were they say the spy balloon was.

I think it was a good trade to let the Chicoms check out two of the three aspects of our triad defense so that we could see what is in their balloon….Not! We are being led by complete idiots.

They are all incredible fact based summits. It's just amazing when you look on the other side of the curtain where the Doctors don't just want to stuff you full of drugs that are only band aids.

The Doctors on that Covid summit are incredible!

I think this is the future of medicine, even if it's straight line MD's that prescribe drugs... Just watch their videos and hire them and get a treatment plan.
