Don't care much about who says what about who.......
With the web we are bombarded by misinformation..... beleive what you want...
Sorry to hear you got the bug Rob....let us know how long you are in the dump!!! Wife and I had our 3 shots plus the senior flu shots....so far so good......my only visitor is Grant....... and the occasional grocery runs in Rockland...... we restocked the pantry with non perishable goodies, freezer is full and lots of firewood on hand..... so is the wine cellar!!! So far Winter in Ottawa has been late in starting, mild with little snow but more to come. Fly low, stay below the radar and don't visit Quebec......... Shitty way to start the New Year but hoping it will end better......... Spending quality time in the barn with Grant cleaning up the shelves from old junk to make room for new stuff...... Cheers

Found an old expired bottle of Buckleys tonight. Wife demanded I have two spoon-fulls....she wasn't watching so I had 3/4 of a spoon. That stuff tastes like sh*t but I feel like a new man. I am actually able to talk with a slight volume, and might even be able to sleep tonight.

So Rob, Do you have Omicron? If so you are developing immunity to the Delta variant. It could be a good thing? I watch a British Doctor Campbell on You Tube. He backs everything up with facts and tells us where the info comes from. He is pretty optimistic about Omicron's "benefits". Get well friend, who I may never meet.

Thanks Lynn. I too believe the omicron might be the ticket out of covid. All the natural immunity without the serious complications and death. It does not behoove a virus to kill it's host, as it too will die off. That said, there could end up being another variation that is not as forgiving as omicron. I don't recall my greek alphabet anymore, but my guess is the next one will be pi cron?
Once Omicron was at 75% of the Manitoba cases, they quit testing for it, so I will never know which I had. However, what I have kind of matched the omicron in that it attacked the bronchial tube and trachea as opposed to nesting away in the lungs and wreaking havoc there. Aside from all the usual symptoms, it was the sore throat that pissed me off the most. And today it got a lot better...I could swallow my saliva, ate some supper, and actually had a few sips of coke. I went outside and got the tractor going as the wife needed to move some firewood to the house. We have a lot of snow on the ground that I have not dealt with since my holiday. Maybe was out for 30 minutes total and that was more than enough. My time will come, but it won't be this.

Got a cold on a trip to Toronto many many many moons ago, and was scheduled to visit the GM Diesel Div factory in a few days time (to see ASLAVs being built), so had to get on top of it fast. The friends we were staying with recommended Buckley's (accompanied by a knowing smirk ....). You are soooo right: tastes like fermented s**t!! Worst tasting but most effective medicine I've ever had. I still shudder just remembering it! Thanks for the reminder, Harry and Rob!

With my first-wife, if one of us coughed at night, the other would ask if they needed buckleys. If that person coughed again, they would get one spoonful. Trust me, the offender would try to suppress it as best as humanly possible. But after the first spoonful, if you coughed again....well you guessed it, the second spoonful. We obviously cared about each other....can't figure out why that relationship didn't work out.
The current bottle was upsetting my stomach. I have not eaten a real meal in almost 5 days. I have, however, managed to shed all the weight, and then some, that I put on during my Mexico trip.

I think I can safely say it is just about over. The sore throat has reduced to the point I ate a couple grilled cheese for breakfast, although that was with the help of a few throat lozenges. However, the wife was starting to feel symptoms yesterday and got worse this morning so headed into town for another test. She is now in bed so I guess I can return all of the kindness and caring she showed me this past 5 days. I actually like to overdue it, in the hopes that next time she feels she has to do the same. As I fluffed up her pillows, she kicked me out. Methinks the old buckleys may have to come out if her attitude doesn't change towards the positive. But seriously though, I hope hers is even less than my experience was.

Rob, my wife has been telling me for years that:
Children get sick, men get ill and women get on with it! I'm glad your mostly through it. Women are tough, but look after her. After all she puts up with you!

I absolutely know that Lynn.
I was driving with my daughter one day, and said to her that Linda (my better half) deserves a medal for putting up with me. My daughter, after a thoughtful pause, stated "I think you both deserve a medal".

Vick’s Vaporub on the soles of the feet plus a pair of heavy wool socks then straight to bed. If that doesn’t burn the cold and flu out, nothing will
