Hey, Purplelady. Now that I have your attention. I hear you have a can of Lysol spray.  :) There's a photo going around on Facebook showing the back of a Lysol can where it lists all the germs it kills. One of the germs listed is a coronavirus. The caption says, how long have we know about the coronavirus? Is this fake or real?
It is true. I saw it on back of a Lysol can.

The insurance I have now is better than the grand-a-month Blue Cross I had.   I have no reason to believe I am ever going to require any inordinately expensive medical treatment. I'm sure I'll live a long and healthy life and die gracefully at the appropriate moment. But I'm not hung up on medical matters in the mean time. I don't have a regular doctor, nor do I think I should have one. I don't take any prescription drugs, nor do I think that is 'normal' or inevitable.  My belief is that pharmaceutical companies invent reasons for us to 'need' their new drugs as the patents on their old ones expire.  It's stupid.

Yeah, I know. I was going to walk into the sunset with my wife and live happily ever after and then she came down with breast cancer.  How does your subsidized, high deductible plan cover that?

I thought coronavirus was a name for a particular virus strain. Faith straightened me out on that. It's more of a class of different viruses. Ya learn something new every day.

I hope that day comes soon.... I would say that money is the motivator for these azzwipes.

Certainly the obvious choice but he's already got money! Yet willing to risk his entire existence, trying to buy kids from a complete stranger in a back ally? More to this than money...why was he such a hurry? Even sits in the parking lot, until the police arrive...then flys off to Cambodia the next day and returns, only to be arrested...

There are missing pieces to this puzzle!

Sconsin goes into Michigan and beats them.  5 wins in a row ... snapping a 5 win streak for michigan.  8 quad 1 wins.  Tied for second in big 10 ... best conference in basketball by a mile ... top to bottom.

Sconsin started off 5-5 and lost to some sh it teams to start the season.  This could be a final 4 team. Not even ranked cause they sucked so bad at start of season.

I drank a Guinness and I buy this bottle of Belgian strong ale ... it's like 2.5 glasses of beer (750 ml).  I have discovered it's my sweet spot.  That's the amount I should drink in any given night when I drink, unless she wants to get wasted and have wild drunken sex, that's my new norm.

I don't see how it could and if there is a family history of camcer or a preexisting condition they won't insure some people.

I am rewarding myself cause I am down to 178 and I my knee is fine ... I ran yesterday and today 50 min 7:40 min mile pace ... I am stuck.  I started dry heaving yesterday too at the end and I had to cut it 8 second short cause I tried to run last min at a 9 min mile pace.  It's a good thing I only eat once a day cause I would have thrown up all over.  Today I was able to push it harder last few minutes cause I did that.  Tomorrow I am doing 55 min of it kills me.  I am tired of being stuck and not making progress.

Not only has big ten been brutal this year, but for road teams it's been a nightmare ... so for badgers to go into Michigan in the road and win ... that big effin win.  I have been waiting all week for this game too.

My oldest sister never made a wrong move in her life. never drank, never smoked.. We call her "the white sheep of the family". She married this guy that was Mr. clean.  He was an only child. Both his parents died of cancer. Then he got breast cancer (really). They got that and then he got prostate, lung...it just kept coming back worse every time. He finally died a few months ago. But my sister and him have four daughters...all perfect ...and every single one of them has come down with some kind of cancer. And I don't think the oldest one has even turned 40.
Conversely, my grandfather from Ireland drank like a fish, smoked like a freight train, dumped his wife and kid,  was a womanizer and rogue...great guy. He lived well into his 80's.

When the Black Plague was ravaging London, my male line lived into their 80s and 70s father and son.  No one really died young as far as I have gone back.  My maternal side lives a long time too.  For my age I have no business being as fit and athletic as I am.  I am still like I was in my 20s.  My body does too.  My skin.  I won the effin genetic lottery (watch me get some awful disease and die tomorrow, lol).
