Here I am again with a new entry in the blog, because that damned virus doesn't seem to know when to quit and just wither, die and go away once and for all.
There have been a lot of things happen in our lives since my last entry here. For one thing we celebrated our daughter-in-law's 32nd birthday with a lasagna and a birthday cake.
That was followed by several days of cooking once again, because of the idiotic freezer. It did the same thing it did last summer, over froze so that the door opened on it and food started thawing up. Fortunately, a lot of that food was able to be used in one dish - a gigantic paella. We literally had just about everything required for that dish thawed up and ready to go except the calamari as we don't have that. But we did have crab's legs which I substituted for the calamari. We literally had the cooked ham, the cooked chicken, the shrimp, mussels, crabs legs and the various veggies required that thawed up. So I cooked some rice and found out what the seasoning consisted of (and fortunately I even had some of that on hand) and tomatoes and made a humungous paella. Enough to feed us and two neighbouring families, plus we still had some leftovers after we finished eating. Not to mention the chicken cacciatore, club sandwiches with some thawed cooked turkey breasts and bbq pork chops (using the rhubarb bbq sauce). Plus I had some rhubarb to take care of and red currants. The rhubarb I used to make like an upside down cake with, several jars of BBQ sauce, rhubarb sauce (like apple sauce), and a rhubarb crisp. The red currants were mostly used to to make a red currant liqueur with some sugar and vodka dumped in atop the muddled currants in a large 1 litre bottle (quick and easy way to use up a lot of them in a hurry). I still have some left over and I want to try to make a BBQ sauce with them - just to have different BBQ sauces on hand for the summertime grilling. It's good I didn't want a garden this summer, because I didn't want to spend a ton of time working with food and wanted to work on some crafts instead. Which I haven't gotten to do yet. We still have chicken wings that I cooked after they thawed up and some pork spare ribs that I also cooked upon thawing, to eat. I think the chicken wings will be bbq wings and the spare ribs will contribute to a homemade Chinese dinner. I had wanted to make southern style fried chicken wings when I bought them, but as I had to cook them as soon as I could, I don't think they'll be good as southern style fried wings, so will have to make do with the bbq wings.
We did get our 2nd dose of Moderna on June 29th and pretty much since then - up until yesterday I guess, I've felt terrible. The afternoon of the shot, I had a colossal case of head fog. If you were to have asked me anything even as simple as my name I'd probably have had to think about it for awhile and even then have been confused as to what it really is. It was terrible. I literally couldn't think straight and as for concentrating even enough to read a simple 1 paragraph article, forget it. By the time I was ready to go to bed my arm started hurting, but it wasn't too bad, but I guess it progressed to really bad while I slept because everytime I moved it, I'd wake up in pain. The next day I was groggy and tired and had barely any appetite and a colossal headache like as if someone hit me on the back of the head with a brick. On Canada Day my husband took me out to dinner, but I was rather queasy and so hardly ate any of my meal and had to bring it home to have later. But I didn't have it later. It wasn't until 2 days later that I had enough of an appetite to even think about it. Even yesterday I was still sleepy and had a hard time to wake up and stay awake. While my husband had no side effects at all.
Because of our neighbours from hell, we've been looking around for houses in various parts of Canada and are thinking of putting this one up for sale and moving. Maybe if the people who buy this place are richer than Mr. BigWig next door, that'll put a cramp in his style and he'll think twice about messing around with them. Let's hope. Anyhow before we move we'll inform the buyers about what those ash holes are all about and what they did to the tree. So that if the tree gets blown over in a storm onto their house (and since they cut it lopsided where there's less branches on this side but more on their side - the counter balance may be off and affect the stability of the tree in the high winds we get here), that it's their fault to begin with and not to pay them any damages. That the buyers here can maybe try to sue them for the damages they did to the tree which contributed to it's instability and thus falling over in their direction.
But this would be an awesome property for the right person/people. It has access to all amenities you can dream of - considering it's located just off the island of Montreal and near another growing city, with 2 golf courses nearby, a CEGEP 15 minutes away (depending on traffic), a historic provincial park that's wonderful to take the kids to or to have a picnic at on a nice summer's day, right of passage to the water, awesome sunsets (there was a picture of one that I took and posted on this blog sometime ago), on a dead end street with only local traffic - so usually very quiet and secure (for kids). Most neighbours are friendly and kind - with the exception of the ash holes from hell. Lots of biking and hiking paths around off the road but running parallel to it (so very little danger of being hit by a motor vehicle). A community center, library and marina are all nearby as well. Near a commercial farm where you can "pick your own" (whatever that might be), actually there's also a commercial apple orchard nearby as well where you can also "pick your own". So you have the tranquility of the country side and access to fresh produce when in season, you could even have a garden or two right here on this property and grow plenty of fresh food for your family yourself, along with all the amenities the cities offer. If you don't destroy the plants, I have several perennial vegetables and fruit growing, from raspberries, grapes and blackberries to rhubarb, onions, asparagus, lettuce, chives, mint, tarragon, kale, mustard, and strawberries. Those grow back every year if you don't disturb the area where they're growing. There's also goji berries and arugula as well. You wouldn't even have to plant those. Just maintain them and harvest them as desired. Fresh free food for the picking. Does this sound like a sales pitch to you? Maybe it does because I'm working through the sales pitch in my mind as I think this is a project we're going to try to handle ourselves with the help of one of those real estate companies that helps the owner sell their property themselves. Of course I wouldn't mention the neighbour from hell, nor all of those perennial plants either. 😉
In the meantime the virus from hell won't let go and keeps on raging as strong or even stronger than ever from the headlines I've been seeing. After reading some of the stories I'm wondering if those days of agony I just finished suffering through after getting my 2nd dose was worth it, considering it seems like the Delta variant doesn't seem to care if you were vaccinated or not, in some cases.
So anyhow.... Getting on with the headlines now.....
I don't blame the Palestinians. I mean what's the point of accepting soon to expire vaccines anyhow? What good is that going to do? It might actually harm them in the way of causing a delay for them getting some fresh vaccines or any vaccines at all, as the international community will say well you got x amount of vaccines from Israel that should be more than enough for the time being and not give them any and instead give some other country that also has none what was going to go to them.
UK virus cases surge even as 8 in 10 have received shots Precisely what I was talking about above.
Thailand Once Shut Out Covid-19 but Is Now Pivoting to Living With It I'm telling you Gates and that other schmuk Schwab from the WEF along with those from the Wuhan Lab all need to be strung up by their gonads, because this PLANdemic wasn't very well PLANned out in advance. In fact, it's causing everything to go to hell in a handbasket, if you ask me and so as far as I'm concerned all those who are directly and indirectly responsible for it, need to be held accountable.
AP-NORC poll: Many Americans resuming pre-virus activities As long as there's very little possibility of a massive resurgence of the virus via the Delta variant, why not? If however, there's more than just a slight possibility then I think some of the preventative measures taken earlier needs to be reinstated.
UN warns of worst 'cascade of human rights setbacks in our lifetimes' Really???? Wow!!!! Sure took them long enough to figure that out! I think I along with a few others out there (most of whom were censored and called alarmists and conspiracy theorists) figured that out eons ago, back in March or April 2020 when all the draconian measures first started being implemented. But hey what did we know? We were all just a bunch of fake news alarmists and conspiracy theorists, apparently!
‘Jacket Required’ No More? How the Pandemic Changed Dress Codes I'm wondering if being desperate for clientele doesn't have more to do with it, than some dress codes does. I mean after suffering over a year's worth of closures or off and on closures, when they get the chance to make some money to pay some of those bills that piled up, dress code or not, they'll take the opportunity to make some much needed money rather than worry about what everyone's wearing or not wearing.
Britain’s longest-known COVID-19 patient dies after 15 months That is so sad. Condolences to his family.
What Quitters Understand About the Job Market Or maybe they also started to realize that there are other aspects of life that are equally important, like family, being able to enjoy life without always being so stressed out from work and other obligations and just wanting to spend more time relaxing and enjoying whatever time they have on this earth rather than always being under pressure to pay bills and work. A lot of them may have come to the realization that they don't need fancy clothes or cars and outings to feel good - that they can relax and enjoy life with what they have already and not need more than that. Which is how it ought to be and probably was for most of human existance (those who were fortunate enough to have everything they needed to feel comfortable and secure).
Australia struggles to quash persistent coronavirus outbreaks They attribute the outbreaks to the fact that very few people have been vaccinated yet.
Philippines' Duterte threatens vaccine decliners with jail, animal drug OMG.... If he weren't such a freaking nutcase and would do what he threatens here, I'd say this was hilarious, but it's not because he might actually act on his threats and that would NOT be hilarious. It would be atrociouly horrific if he did.
South America Is Now Covid-19 Hot Spot, With Eight Times the World’s Death Rate My friend in Argentina just got her first shot last week, at the behest of her sister. She wasn't going to get one at all, but her sister begged her to. She said she chose the Astra Zeneca one as the only other one they have to choose from is the Sputnick one from Russia and she doesn't trust it.
44% of Americans hit ‘lowest emotional point’ of their lives during pandemic I can certainly understand. Especially those who may have lost loved ones to the pandemic and had no way to say their final goodbyes before the loved one died. Or those who may have been young and alone (young adult) and had to self isolate or quarantine with the illness and after having had years of growing up with a family to rely on suddenly finding themselves alone with no one to help them or help them cope, I can understand. Or even the elderly who basically figured they'd be better off dead than enduring endless days, weeks and months worth of solitude and loneliness and wondered what the point of living was, if they couldn't see anyone or go anywhere or do anything. So I can imagine there were great numbers of people who were "down".
Israel faces Covid surge as virus circulates even among vaccinated This is what I'm afraid of. Of being hit with the stupid variant even though I got both shots.
A scientist says he's found 13 Wuhan coronavirus sequences that were deleted from a US database - and claims they're a 'goldmine' for research into the virus' origins Hmmmmm curiouser and curiouser..... Wondering why they were deleted. Maybe because they were afraid they'd also link maybe Gilead Sciences or perhaps Fort Detrick to it too? Just wondering..... I mean if it all pointed to Wuhan and China you wouldn't think they'd delete it now would you? They'd only delete it probably if it could point back to an American party (company or military maybe) and make them look complicit in some way, wouldn't you think?
Pooling society's collective intelligence helped fight COVID – it must help fight future crises too Oh that sounds wonderful! And will probably work for the first couple of years until it's deemed either too costly or cumbersome to manage and then is abandonned. Which is usually what happens with collaborative efforts like this.
Israel says the Delta variant is infecting vaccinated people, representing as many as 50% of new cases. But they're less severe. Phew, they are saying that 2 doses of vaccine appears to be protective against it, but that no vaccines are 100% protective against it.
Nearly 5 out of 6 coronavirus cases were undetected in pandemic's early months That's because they didn't know about it and what they were looking for and a lot of them were being chalked up as being "the flu". I know because I had it in the first weeks of January 2020, but I didn't know what I had and it's only my nursing knowledge that probably saved me from winding up in a hospital on a ventilator, because I knew how to evacuate the fluid that was accumulating in my lungs via coughing and expectorants and how to lie in bed, so my lungs didn't fill with fluid while I slept. It was only later on when I read a description of the symptoms (from a Chinese news report released early on where a doctor described everything to do with it), that I recognized my symptoms and what they called "wet lung" and realized I'd had it. But as I was never allowed to have an antibody test, I don't know for sure if I did or not, but if I had to bet on it, I'd say I did. Meanwhile everyone was thinking "oh it's not even here yet, so we don't have to worry about it". But there's been articles and reports proving that it was here - it was here in Quebec for sure in December 2019, so it's no stretch of the imagination to realize that if it was here in QC then, it was probably much wider spread across North America then too.
Habitat for Humanity struggles with high construction costs amid COVID-19 pandemic We've been hearing that a lot of construction material is 2 & 3 times it's normal cost and some just can't be had for love nor money due to shortages and backlogs.
US saw biggest drop in life expectancy since WWII due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic I'm sure it's not just the case in the US, but elsewhere as well.
The family of an unvaccinated woman who died from COVID-19 say they still refuse to get the jab, report says That may be due to the fact that they know what her underlying conditions (if any) were and feel that since they don't suffer from those conditions that they aren't at as much risk as she was.
China says no strings attached to vaccine shipments overseas They can't even give their sheite away now it seems. No wonder, no one wants them, as they don't work. They're probably nothing more than the polluted Yangzte River water in those phials that they're trying to pass off as vaccine anyhow. It wouldn't surprise me any. They're nothing but 2 faced lying crooks, hostage takers, murderers and dictators anyhow.
They Relied on Chinese Vaccines. Now They're Battling Outbreaks. Just goes to prove what I just finished saying above.
States hesitant to adopt digital COVID vaccine verification I don't know why it has to be digital anyhow. We simply have a piece of paper that was filled in when we got our shots with the name of the vaccine and the date given and by who, that we keep in our wallets. I know the QC gov't said they were issuing a QR code we could download as proof of our shots, but if you don't have or use a cellphone, what then?
During Covid-19, Most Americans Got Ahead—Especially the Rich Really? Wondering if it's the same for rich Canadians too?
Police rescue spooked nude sunbathers from Australian forest hehehehe.... One of the funnier plandemic stories and yup the cop's description of them was bang on!
DISASTER ZONE Crumbling sewers, no PPE, & filthy cages – Inside ‘chaotic & crowded’ Wuhan labs which may have unleashed Covid This sounds very much like I imagined it.
Vaccinated people are dying from the Delta variant, but in small numbers and almost all are over 50, UK data shows Oh just freaking wonderful!
If You Got This Vaccine, You May Never Need a Booster, New Study Says Well that's good news for us, I think.
COVID-19: all of Quebec heads to zone green as of Monday But we still have to wear masks in establishments, and socially distance at cash registers etc...
Why feeling bad after your second COVID-19 vaccine dose may be a good sign Then I ought to be super protected according to this.
Pandemic tied to spike in diabetes in children; type of immune response lasts months after Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine That's not a good side effect either.
Today’s coronavirus news: Atlantic Canada sees airports returning to life; nearly 30 per cent of respondents broke restrictions, Canada-wide survey says And yet we survived despite having broken restrictions.
COVID-19: Manitoba offers wage subsidy to encourage hiring vaccinated employees So now rather than qualifications, hiring criteria is going to be based on whether someone is vaccinated or not? That's almost as bad as the race and gender based hiring qualifications of days gone by. No wonder we have such a bunch of pathetic idiots masquerading as professionals these days, when all it takes is being a certain gender, race, or now if you have a vaccination or not, to get the job, regardless of skills and qualifications. It's not as though I'm a man saying this because I'm not. I'm a woman, but I'm a woman who's been subjected to the care of physicians who clearly only qualified for the position they held due to their race, or gender and the crackerjack box diploma they held and nothing more. I question whether some of them even had the knowledge and skills to apply a bandaid to scraped knees. Even as a nurse I was able to diagnose and treat myself better than what half those quacks were able to do. I would've made a better doctor than 90% of the idiots I've seen in white coats strutting around the halls of hospitals pretending to play doctor. And I'm sorry but if you can't clearly communicate your diagnosis, prognosises and recommendations to me in 1 of the 2 official languages so that it's well understood by the patient then you have no business holding a license to practice medicine in this country. One of the most vital aspects of practicing medicine is being able to clearly articulate everything to the patient in a way that's thoroughly and completely understood by them, so that they can follow doctors orders as prescribed. If they can't even understand what the mouthful of marbles is trying to articulate how do you want them to be able to follow doctor's orders anyhow?
Spread of delta variant prompts new restrictions worldwide The variant from hell doesn't know when to quit.
Opinions | AIDS disappeared from public view without ending. Will covid-19 do the same? Probably eventually it will.
Almost half of Aussie population under lockdown Wow.... Maybe they should start getting the population there, vaccinated, so they wouldn't have to be under lockdown like that.
Jobless Thai sex workers protest in Bangkok against bar closures brought on by Covid-19 pandemic Okaaaaay....
Health Canada adds warning of very rare, serious condition as potential side-effect If you had an Astra Zeneca or Covishield vaccine you should read this.
Canadian COVID-19 death toll far exceeds official reports, according to analysis So we're going to do like the US did now? Count every single case that could even remotely be linked to covid whether it was the cause of death or not? Like because your uncle died in a motorcycle accident but he knew someone who had covid his death is now going to be covid related and not a motorcycle accident? Is that because the 20 thousand odd cases aren't high enough and so it makes it look no worse than a bad flu? But wouldn't really be a bad flu if all flues lasted as long as this virus has? I mean a flu that takes 5,000 lives in a flu season which maybe lasts 3-4 months, extend that by 5 (15-20 months - which is where we are now) and we get roughly the same number of deaths from the flu as we do from covid19. So roughly the same amount of deaths for the same duration of time. Ergo no worse than a regular flu. So is that suddenly why we're saying that the death toll far exceeds official reports now? Because the official reported numbers aren't bad enough to make all those draconian measures seem worth it? Is that it?
COVID-19 in Quebec: What you need to know on Wednesday Yup, well we definitely got our 2nd shot of Moderna alright and I felt it for days afterwards. I can tell you that.
COVID-19 changes the structure of blood cells, may explain ‘long hauler’ symptoms If that's the case, wouldn't everyone who's had covid19 be long haulers then?
Border security and quarantines need to be common practice to prevent future pandemics, study warns Really????? Ya think???? What ever gave you that idea anyhow??? And why'd it take you so freaking long to clue in anyhow???? Like I said, certain "qualifications" rather than actual education and skills being the qualifications needed to get certain jobs is why we're in this idiot prone predicament to start with. I mean um f'n duh, this should've been a no brainer from the get go, but instead we're 19 months into this f'n plandemic and they've only just figured this out now??????

As a return to ‘normal’ seems achievable, adjustment disorders are the new elephant in the room It shouldn't be that hard to readjust to normalcy. It should basically be as easy and natural as breathing fresh air is.
Johnson & Johnson vaccine shows promise against Delta variant, plus COVID-19 back-to-school concerns
Local officials sound the alarm over another possible wave of Covid-19 infections Of course.... This plandemic is even longer lived than the Engergizer Bunny.
'There's some anxiety': Alberta health minister and family swarmed on Canada Day This is another "health minister" that has no business being a health minister because he's a lawyer and has no medical knowledge about anything let alone how to handle a plandemic. So if he's like the infamous genocidal beitche art teacher we have as our Cdn health minister and our Gestapo accountant health minister here in QC, then I have no sympathy for him. If you have no clue about what you're doing then you have no right to be doing it. Period. It's like as if I as a nurse decided to practice law and pass precedences that regulated the whole province or country just because. He as a lawyer would find all kinds of faults with that and all kinds of ways of overturning it and declaring me an incompetant ash hole that ought to be tried for falsely practicing law without a license. Well same could be said about him and all the other ash holes who have no business regulating medical laws especially about pandemics and infectious disease controls.
J&J says vaccine works against delta variant; WHO pushes Western nations to accept travelers with Chinese vaccines: Today's COVID-19 updates And why the F should we listen to the WHO on this anyhow? Especially when it was them who pushed us to allow Chinese people into our countries even when they knew there was a very serious epidemic going on in Wuhan at the time!?! Now they want us to allow people who essentially have no immunity to the disease into our countries??? I mean that's basically what they are, if they've only been inoculated with the Chinese vaccines. Why the F should we? It's our country and our tax dollars paying for the health care of all these sick people NOT THE WHO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COVID-19: No daily deaths reported in Italy's worst-affected region for first time in nine months And yet more good news!
Experts question if WHO should lead pandemic origins probe No because they seem to be biased liars who'd do anything to protect China from any repercussions to do with this. Probably because they've been adequately and handsomely bribed by China to try to stymy all investigations into it and muddy all findings so as to obscure the origins as much as possible.
Boris Johnson conducting mass COVID experiment on young people, top scientist warns The entire population of the earth has been guinea pigs for the COVID experiment being run by the NWO and the elite.
As Biden prepares to host 1,000 for Independence Day, desire to declare victory collides with need for caution I don't know but after seeing what happened in Israel I think it's still really early to declare victory over the plandemic considering that the vaccines aren't stopping the delta variant very much.
