  1. Column? Does Heffy live at the Vatican?
  2. I didn't even notice that.... @Master Mind must not know what to do with himself....
  3. I live in a different part of the province....so I should be safe... ,,,right?
  4. If that's what you believe, then I have to ask....Why are you still here?
  5. I got my booster yesterday. The first thing they asked me was if I had any Covid symptoms....
  6. The one that always makes me shake my head is this "I got my first 2 shots, but I won't get the 3rd"....I've seen it a few times ITT. WTF not? If you're not anti-vax and have taken 2 doses already, why mistrust the advice that a 6 month booster will provide even more protection? It makes zero sense to me and I have to start doubting their claims of having taken the first two....
  7. Exactly. And I'll point out (once again) that every time one of you "I'm not anti-vax, but...." posters throw shade at Dr Bonnie, or public health guidelines, you give these clowns more ammunition for their disinformation campaign. That's why others get frustrated with you.
  8. That's great. I suppose they can rent a house or apartment close to where their son is getting treatment now.... Still, it seems like the far easier thing to do would have been for the parents to get vaccinated.....seeing as the dad said they weren't anti-vax and all.....
  9. I was hoping she'd ask him why they weren't vaccinated....since he claimed not to be an anti-vaxxer. Seems to me that the easy fix would have been to take the shot....
  10. Ah yes....the old "both sides" argument....you would have been a big hit in Charlottesville.....
  11. I once had to take a VCR test.... .....they said I had the Betamax variant....
  12. looks like it's cold yoga from now on....
  13. Here's my issue with people who point out that serious illness and death is more likely in older people, or people with pre-existing medical conditions.... This might be true, but as with most things, it isn't an absolute. Yet, some people who for whatever reason are vaccine hesitant, will look at that information and tell themselves, "I'm young and healthy, so there's no need for me to get vaccinated". They may even think the same for their children..... But that is wrong. Close to 1000 children under the age of 18 have died from Covid in the US. Otherwise healthy people have died from Covid. When people throw around these blanket statements about the dangers (or lack thereof) of Covid because they read something, or heard something they're strengthening the resolve of the Anti-Vax crowd, despite their protestations that they're "not Anti-Vax". Words have consequences.
  14. On another tack, I got my booster this morning.... .....The good news is, my balls are the same size they were before the shot, so I guess I dodged a bullet there.....
  15. I'm pretty sure there's a cause / effect argument in there somewhere....
  16. I have to admit that if there was an obesity tax, I'd probably take a hit, although with the price of beer, I'd say I already am.... Thing is, I've been overweight for a decade or so, but I have yet to infect any of my fellow citizens with the "obesity" virus...
  17. Good luck brother. BTW: I guess it goes without saying that I'm with you in cheering for the Eagles this weekend.
  18. You know what, G? I hear Alberta is a great place to live.....
  19. I don't think it's possible to complete isolate yourself and remain part of society, Chip. I would try and avoid close contact with the elderly family member as much as possible and see if you develop symptoms in the next few days. Someone who knows more than me can correct this if I've got it wrong, but my understanding is that the latest information we have on Omicron is that it shows within 5 days or so. If you start to feel symptoms, see about getting tested. (It might be an idea even if not)
  20. Well there was one thing that you got right.....
  21. Except that there's no concerted disinformation campaign telling us that seat belts are dangerous, that holding onto the dashboard is an acceptable replacement for wearing a seat belt, or that the consequences for not wearing seat belts is "vastly overblown"..... That being said, I agree that this could have just been a post in the Covid thread....
  22. A little honesty: I would have preferred playing the Chargers over the Pats. Not because I fear New England or Belichick, but I just think the weather conditions would have been a much bigger burden for the Chargers than they will the Patsies.... ....and I think we've already established how much better BB is than his LA counterpart....
  23. I'm not a Georgia fan by any stretch, but any team that beats 'Bama automatically becomes my second favorite team....
  24. Also, anyone who's watched a game at the old Montreal Forum.....
  25. Not to nitpick spur, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's more of a "rural" myth....
