Do we not all remember going to the doctor for certain illnesses in the past only to be told "It's a virus, it'll just have to run it's course. Now if you develope a secondary infection, we can treat that with antibiotics."
So how did we get here with a VIRUS? Hmmmmm?
Let me begin by explaining a litle medical history. I tend to get bronchitis this time of year when I get out in the cold too much. Sometimes it turns into pneumonia.
I'm not a doctor but I do know what my body feels like.
We contacted the doctor when the chest pain/shortness of breath began...
I believe that mine began last Tuesday, the 4th. Headache and slight tickle in my chest.
My wife started on Monday so as I was trying to keep her comfortable then the backache began and the fever.
I have 4 grandchildren just down the road a piece. All of them including mom and dad are still...
You are correct. It seems that our goverment tends to forget the difference between someone who dies WITH covid, and someone who dies FROM covid. There is a difference.
Ist, I have to say Kudos on you draw capabilities. I am envious.
2nd, I too am suffering from OES (old eye syndrom)
3rd, not much help but sounds like whichever EDC you like the best and carry the most comfortable.
4th, I am extremely jealous that you had range time, not really. I am...
I'm glad that you have decided to work on that. It can be a confidence builder as well.
Remember, it doesn't matter that you'rethe fastest at the range, but that you know what you can do when the chips are down.
Also I might add, knowing when not to draw can be more important than a fast draw...
I did finally pick my wife up a S&W M&Pin .380. I hope that will keep her shooting a bit more for a while, although 9mm rounds are cheaper.
Me, I picked up a 1911 in .22. I'll just put the 45 away. (Yeah, in the holster, LOL)
Old Joe, Joe stammered, uh, said it best. "We need to protect the protected from the unprotected, er protect the unprotected form the protected." Well, something like that!
Wow, it's time to party!
Visited my father-in-law in the nursing home, went to the grankids house for pizza, watched a couple Walker, Texas Ranger re-runs.
I got my shower and off to bed.
I don't plan to get up til next year! LOL! (sure hope I won't look lke Rumplestilskin)
Happy New Year to...
Oh but you're wong.
I am very excited about 2022.
Wars and rumors of wars, people turning against one another, and looking like a global economy and one world government coming.
Jesus could be coming back real soon! Who knows!
My all time favorite, from the younger crowd, "How can you trust that thing? the design is 100 years old!"
My reply, with a smile of course, "Yes, and it still works just fine."
Oh, gotta run. Gotta check and lube that old antique before she rusts fast! LOL
Was at the Pickens range in SC a few years back with my oldest daughter. She shoots an XDM 45acp.
Some of the local red necks (as opposed to out of town red necks) showed up with there with all of their long mags hanging out of their locks.
While my daughter was eating the bullseye out of her...
Yes, I would absolutely sell off most of my collection, all 3 of them, if that is what it took toget my beloved wife to embrace a self defense handgun.
I have been very fortunate in that department though. My wife has been very receptive to having her "own" handgun. More now than in our earlier...
