I've read that a big concern about having the Corona virus , is pneumonia that also comes with it . While heading to my pharmacy to collect a prescription and get a shingles booster shot , it occurred to me that it had been years since I had gotten my pneumonia shot , so I asked about a booster shot for that . My original pneumonia had been so long ago , it was no longer on their records . So instead of the shingles shot , I got another pneumonia shot . I'm hoping to get the corona shot when it becomes available , but figure , in the mean time , should I catch the corona virus , I at least will have some protection against the worst part of it .

What a day for the US. Never thought we’d have an attempted coup to kick off 2021.

The virus has gotten worse . Hopefully , since those dumb enough to party hardy have learned it isn't a hoax , they're either dead , and/or killed off friends and members of their own families , the majority of people are going to learn to follow the simple rules - use your masks , correctly , social distancing , no gatherings , wash your hands frequently m and as soon as it's available , get your vaccines , and continue following the rules , at least until the vaccines have had a chance to take effect .

I truly wish this was completely true . Unfortunately it depends to some extent on whom you're with . Weird as it sounds , there are those who actually prefer to be with stupid people , because it makes them feel like they are intelligent by comparison . My mother-in-law chided my because , I briefly was earning more than my husband . She informed me that this would hurt his ego , so I shouldn't do it . I learned to hold myself back to allow him to be better , until I got so very tired of trying to be less than who I was . The separation , was like a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders . I felt like I could just soar into the air !

Some of the developments about to rock the world of transportation in almost unimaginable ways.

Cast1es comments on Jan 3, 2021:

When I was young , my Dad would occasionally bring home Popular Mechanics Magazines , with futuristic modes of travel . At the time , it was fiction . Today the fiction of yesteryear , is becoming more and more , of a daily occurrence . Driverless cars are on the roads and are replacing long distance truck drivers . robot floor cleaners have reduced the need for janitors , bar codes have reduced the need for cashiers , with the use of credit cards . More and more of the lowest paying jobs which require no thinking are being done by machines . So , while these advances are great for the average and above folks , I'm wondering what the below average intelligence level folks are going to be able to do , in order to earn enough income to support themselves and the families they create ?

Congratulations and welcome to the club . As one lady wrote , she raised them and they're still alive , so she did a hard job . You've spent the preceeding years of your life being responsible for others . And now they've been launched . Hooray ! This is your time . These are your golden years . This is that period when you get to treat yourself , instead of spending all your efforts and funds on others . If you decide you want to continue supporting others , after you've gotten your vaccine shot , you can volunteer at a hospital , school , fire company , or emergency services . If you want to travel , make plans for after the vaccines have been injected , to go to some of those exotic places you've never had the freedom to tour . Join groups of shared interests , learn to play an instrument , take up a hobby , build a suit of armor , try being the part of you , that you had to put off till now .

I read some time back that elderberry , supposedly helps to keep your blood cells from being invaded by viruses . Since they weren't offering anything else helpful at the time , and I remembered a scene from a very old black and white movie , where a couple of little old ladies were making elderberry wine each fall to prevent colds , and I found some elderberry syrup in amongst the vitamins , I decided to take a shot . I have more recently learned that sunshine vitamin D ( you can research this on line ) , helps to keep the viruses from entering blood cells , Those who have ample amounts of vitamin are less likely to catch the corona virus and the ones who do have milder symptoms .. Elderberry provides sunshine vitamin D . During the winter months , because the sun is at a very low angle , your body can't make as much use of what little vitamin D it can actually get that way . so please add vitamin D to your routines . Stay safe .
