It's only Thursday but I feel like starting this today. I read Sharri's comment on the last post and realized that I can't even begin to imagine the relief and joy the American election brought to so many. To have that low class, dangerous individual no long trying to disrupt democracy, trying to incite racism, trying to incite misogyny, inciting homophobia, would be euphoric. And unfortunately there were thousands and thousands of people, low iq people, that responded accordingly to his incitements. And if this comment offends any Trumpsters, well GOOD!!! Shame on you all, dragging your country down like you did. Well its over...he is gone, in shame and disgrace. Time to fix and heal. Nuff said.
Well I got out yesterday. Whilst the boys picked up the grocery order at Walmart, I hopped into the dollar store. Every time I am in there I kick myself for not trying that store first before going to Canadian Tire or even Walmart. Stuff is so cheap and when it comes to bags of elastic bands, or brownie mix, or Campbells tomato soup, or notepads, or hammers, or scrubbies etc...you can't beat their prices. And trust me, they have everything.
I needed a bag of different sized elastics. I had Monte go to Staples, the most likely place in town that would have them. Yes, they had small bags of elastics, each bag had one size in it, and not too many. Six bucks!!!! No. I told him no, just don't.
So when I went into the dollar store the next day, there they were, a nice good size bag of mixed sized elastics....one dollar. Seriously!!! And I managed to pick up brownie mix, tomato soup, little jewelry holders and two bags of chips for the boys. I never get out of there without those things! And I won't buy tin foil pans anywhere else! Cheap cheap cheap!
Well I didn't get out today. I was cooking and emailing and sorting laundry etc...forgot all about getting out. Started the day with a wonderful conversation with Peter. He is pretty amazing and I am learning a lot from him. He is definitely special.
And speaking of special, we talked to Tooney Koot tonight. We surely do miss that boy. He is probably one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. He is the only person I know that can get well over half the answers on Jeopardy! So annoying!! LOL!! As soon as the travel ban is lifted we shall be heading up there to visit him.
So thats it for today (its now Friday). Stay safe and noodle and stay home! TTYL
COVID
I really dislike the way that Henry and Horgan and Dix slide shit into their talks, as though its been that way all along. eg: At first we were told that everyone would be vaccinated by spring...which infers April or May. Then somewhere along the way it became summer. Then they slid in there that it would be August. A few weeks later it was September. For sure every BCer would be shot up by September. Its been September for a while. And now, today, without batting an eye, he said for us to not worry, its all been rolling out and we should all be vaccinated by OCTOBER. I said it right from the start, it's going to be 2022 before we get our vaccine. How long are we supposed to stay in our house, only leaving to grocery shop? I get it. If they can't do better than they are then frigging say so.
The other thing that has happened right from the get go is the lack of information. Right now central island, which is where we are, is exploding with covid, its going up and up whilst the whole rest of the province is going down. I want to know where and why. How the hell can we fix it if we don't have that info? But yet again they simply do NOT tell us anything! It is by far the most frustrating thing in this whole pandemic.
I know people are totally hero worshipping that milque toast Henry but I can't stand her. I couldn't right from the start. I do know that she is incredibly qualified, but she absolutely does not listen to us minions out here. And she has been dead wrong about some things...like mask wearing. Then she was wrong about who, wearing a mask, it doesn't protect...ourselves. And it sure as hell does. We all knew that...but she didn't seem to acknowledge it. Well she is learning right now that you can't control the masses with pretty pleases. And now clearly unless you are a front line worker, old person in a care home, in prison, homeless, drug addicted or native you can forget about getting vaccinated any time soon.
OMG, finally someone else that can’t stand/handle Henry...soft talker, untrustworthy, wishywashy, I can go on! Dix is just as bad...a soft talking shadow! Fire them both and put someone loud and forceful in there that wants to end this! Have all drug stores, drive ins, arenas all ready to give the shots already like the friggin usa is. Stop the BS, we’re all sick of it.
ReplyDeleteIts not going as well as it was supposed to here, either..:-(. Way less have had the vaccine than were promised. But we are hopeful, as the new administration (who actually takes this pandemic seriously) has already launched plans to get it out much faster. At this point, the rural area we live in is just embarking on the "Over 65 year olds" phase. They are now eligible but supplies are limited so there is not enough to go around yet. Hopefully that will improve soon. One of our biggest problems in the US are the those who refuse the shot as we need 70% for herd immunity. It is getting better. 50% were willing to get the shot as of October, that is now up to 66%. Thinking positive for my neighbors to the North!
