Covid 19
May 30, 2022
As my parents instilled the credo of "waste not, want not" in me, I can't let anything especially anything that can be eaten go to waste. My parents were products of the Great Depression and every scrap of food was precious to them and their families. So they didn't let anything go to waste. As a result I was taught to save all leftovers for future meals, not to let things that you can eat go to waste (and now a days there's even cookbooks that have recipes showing you how to use the whole thing - from the peels and roots to bones and fat). So as a result, we had a yard full of dandelions recently which as you may or may not know I turned into jelly and syrup.
We also had a watermelon, and I saved the white part of the rind to make into watermelon rind pickles - one of my favourites since I was a kid. A neighbour gave me an armful of rhubarb (even though we grow our own), which I chopped up according to the amount needed for a rhubarb strawberry pie recipe that I happened to find. I also chopped up the required amount of strawberries (which was essentially all the strawberries we had in the fridge) and put them into a large freezer bag with the recipe in question folded so the name of it shows, in another smaller freezer bag and sealed and stuck that inside the bag of rhubarb and strawberries to freeze for later use, as I also bought blueberries (before the neighbour came along with the rhubarb) to make a pie with.Which I want to make first, but haven't been able to get around to it yet.
So I figured before the rhubarb and strawberries go bad, I'd chop them up and freeze them for a particular use (as the quantity required of each fruit is already in the bag) and to ensure I knew precisely which strawberry/rhubarb pie recipe it was for and so I didn't have to go searching for it when I was ready to make the pie, I'd print out the recipe and fold it so the title showed inside the smaller freezer bag and slip that bag inside the bigger bag containing the fruit and ziplock them altogether before freezing. That way when I take the bag of fruit out to make the pie, I can just remove the bag containing the recipe and I'm good to go without trying to hunt down that particular recipe.
I still had enough rhubarb leftover so I chopped it up and made a rhubarb crisp out of it, for tomorrow night's dessert when we have a friend over for dinner.
Then I was looking at the chicken cubes I had in the fridge for supper tonight and wondering what to do with them and was thinking "satay" kebabs/brochettes.... But I know my husband isn't that fond of chicken and I didn't know if he'd like satay or not, so I jazzed it up a little by adding 1 inch chunks of ripe (not overly ripe - just ripe) banana inbetween the chicken marinated in the satay marinate recipe I found and passed it off to him as "peanut butter & banana chicken" (he loves peanut butter & banana sandwiches so hey why not?). Shhhh don't tell him it's "satay" because he has a hard time with "foreign food" sometimes especially when it involves chicken (his least favourite meat beside fish). He loved it, so did our little dachshund - who hobbled out to the kitchen to bum food, despite her sore paw that she's been trying for the most part to stay off of. He even grilled it for me on the BBQ because he liked the name I gave it. So chicken satay with banana chunks is my invention and that is called Peanut Butter & Banana Chicken brochettes/kebabs (brochettes is what the French call kebabs or skewers).
So phew all the food has been taken care of, except I want to marinate the chops we'll be having for supper tomorrow when our friend is here for dinner. Then it's just sides I have to worry about - which will probably be a salad of some kind.
And because of more road work today, the house visitation that was scheduled for today was cancelled. So I have no clue when we'll actually get any offers on this place as our record for visitations for this year so far isn't good. It's been one thing after another whenever the realtor schedules appointments they usually wind up being cancelled or postponed for one reason or another. It's like the universe doesn't want us to move. I can't imagine why, because I definitely want to move.
Now back to the backlogged headlines which never ever seems to end. The more I post it seems the more I have to post. The bookmark file always seems to be the same size no matter how many headlines I go through per post. Anyhow, starting from where I last left off....
COVID-19 hospitalizations, cases and deaths start to plateau as provinces lift measures Just to prove they didn't really need to keep those measures in place like they were trying to do despite all the protests against them.
Businesses still requiring proof of vaccination risk challenges, constitutional experts say Like said before, there's an easy way to deal with that. If you don't agree with their demands don't do business with them - boycott them. It's as simple as that. If enough people do like you, they'll get the message and drop their demands or not get the message and go bankrupt.
Are B.C.'s COVID-19 rules based on science or politics? Here's what Dr. Bonnie Henry had to say So in other words based on her answer - politics. That's what their policies are based on if they agreed beforehand on when to lift measures etc, between provinces... That says politics with nothing whatsoever to do with science.
'Likely COVID': Saskatchewan emergency rooms seeing more children under 5 They don't know but they'll say it is anyhow.
COVID-19 in Quebec: What you need to know Wednesday This was posted on March 2nd.
Drink milk to prevent COVID? Scientists say dairy protein may fight viral infections Well milk does have vitamin D added to it, so maybe that's why? The additional vitamin D helps fight it? Like they were saying at the beginning of the plandemic - which I said could be the case as bats probably lack vitamin D since they basically spend all their time in the dark.
Canada’s Trudeau Faces Fallout After Trucker Protest I wish he faced it. He faced more of a fallout in EU's parliament than he did in our own.
Convoy organizer Tamara Lich wants out of jail, appeals bail denial She should've never been arrested in the first place, much less denied bail. This whole system in Canada from judicial to parliamentary systems are corrupt and rotten to the cores and ALL OF THEM - EVERY F'N MEMBER OF THEM NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE & TRIED FOR THEIR OWN CRIMES, WHETHER THAT'S UNILATERILY & WITHOUT CAUSE ABROGATING SOMEONE'S CONSTITUTIONAL & LEGAL RIGHTS OR FOR GENOCIDE & CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY & TREASON (giving Canadian taxdollars away to terrorists should be grounds for treason I think) AND OTHER CRIMES. EVERY F'N ONE OF THEM, INCLUDING THAT JUDGE.
Numbers suggest many American protest convoy donors also gave to Trump, Republicans Oh doncha JUST LOVE THIS....😝😝😝 The CANADIAN Broadcasting Corp doing an investigative journalism on TRUMP & AMERICAN DONORS & TRUCKERS!!!!!! Hey Crap for Brains Corp.... WHAT ABOUT DOING INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM ON THE CROOKEDNESS OF MR. DRESSUP AND HIS TYRANNICAL RESPONSE TO OUR TRUCKERS???????? Hypocrites are us..... There is no shortage of Canadian BS Companies - when it comes to our lamestream media. They can gawk and point fingers and even do a what colour underwear they're wearing article about others, but they can't be bothered to ask any questions of the morons that head this country up and expose anything to do with them. Why? Probably because of the outrageous BRIBE SHIETE FOR BRAINS GAVE THE CDN MEDIA TO REPORT FAVOURABLY ABOUT HIM WITH THAT 60 MILLION DOLLAR GRANT HE GAVE THEM BEFORE.
Quebec care homes look to balance infection control with return to normal life It's about frigging time.
COVID-19: End of 2 more public health measures in Ontario supported by the numbers, experts say Doncha just love how these numbers that support the ending of health measures fall in line with the demands of the truckers??? How convenient that the numbers say those measures should be dropped just then - it has absolutely NOTHING to do with how terrified the politicians were of losing control of things because of the massive protests country-wide started by the truckers. No, no, no.... Definitely not - it's the numbers and the science that all seem to agree with the truckers. I bet the numbers and science agreed with the mass population and truckers LONG BEFORE THE CONVOY STARTED, but the powers-that-be loved the unbridled power trips those measures afforded them and so didn't want to give them up. That's why they decided to fight the truckers rather than dialog with them - because they knew they had nothing they could say to them, because whatever they would've tried to say in order to keep their measures in place would've been nothing but lies and knew the truckers and others would've been able to disprove their lies publically. So that's why they didn't dialog with the truckers and instead decided to fight them the way they did. That's the whole story in the nutshell kiddos.
Multiple COVID-19 variants may be able to infect a person at the same time: study Is this elementary school health class or what? Of course multiple variants or viruses can infect a person at the same time. It doesn't mean because you got sick with this virus that that virus somehow can't attack you too. It's not like the first virus is a gatekeeper to your immune system and doesn't let other viruses in unless they have special VIP passes or something. I mean hello, who thought that multiple variants could NOT infect you at the same time? Show me that person's license to practice the hoodoo voodoo witch doctor medicine they're practicing and I'll suggest that that gets revoked as they're too stupid to even practice that. I mean seriously.
FIRST READING: Oh, look at that, nobody cares about COVID anymore Yup and before the truckers came along that's ALL they cared about and had their shorts all wadded up over the least little thing to do with COVID.
La santé publique cherchait comment justifier le couvre-feu, 6 heures avant l’annonce As per this French article, where the CBC discovered that there was NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THE LOCKDOWN & CURFEW JUST BEFORE NEW YEAR'S EVE PROVES, it was just another maniacal grab for power and way of separating and fining people just for Gestapo Bozo Legault's jollies. PERIOD END OF FRIGGING STORY. And he wants to be re-elected?????? If anyone French, English, Italian, Chinese, Martian speaking re-elects that idiot is even stupid than he is. Especially after I've proven already he was the one that closed all the walk-in clinics in the province, renamed all the hospitals so their phone numbers were impossible to find in a timely manner (read emergency situation), under staffed and just in general FAILED THE MEDICAL SYSTEM HERE IN QUEBEC BIG TIME & MISERABLY. But yet he has the cahunas to try to claim "he fixed it". F off.... You can't even get to see a doctor anymore. Instead you have to call this number in order to be told which number to call, so you can TALK TO A DOCTOR ON THE PHONE. How does one get a throat culture to see if they have strep, or get their lungs or heart listened to to see if there's any serious issues with either of them, get an injection like a tetanus shot, get a knee put back into joint, get a stitch in your forehead because of a wack in it with a hockey stick, etc, over the phone.... All things that used to be done by walk-in clinics without swamping hospital ERs that were already swamped before he eliminated the walk-in clinics. So he's trying to claim those are improvements to our medical system here in QC????? I guess he obviously doesn't know what the word "improvement" means, then eh? Proving how f'n stupid he is and anyone voting for the moron is even stupid than he is.
Quebec public health director defends plan to lift COVID-19 restrictions early Like I said above.... The real truth is the protests scared the crap out of them, THAT'S WHY they changed their tyrannical minds about it and no other reason.
Use ArriveCAN to enter Canada Because sheitehead in Ottawa is so f'n stubborn he doesn't know when to quit. While he had no qualms about letting the virus in, in the first place, he now doesn't know when enough is enough and to drop it already. Talk bout a slow learner.
Russia backs jail time for 'fake' army news, restricts media That would be an awesome idea especially for ALL CANADIAN MEDIA who's reports didn't jive with international reports on domestic matters. Like the trucker convoy for instance. All Canadian journalists who covered that should now be in jail as none of them told one iota of truth regarding that event. EVERY F'N ONE OF THEM EITHER LIED, OMITTED FACTS OR EXAGGERATED, BUT NONE OF THEM PORTRAYED ANY SENSE OF TRUTH OR REALITY OF THE WHOLE AFFAIR. Instead they only painted the picture the government wanted them to paint and that was that the truckers were terrorists. Which couldn't have been further from the truth if you tried. So yeah, CTV, CBC, GLOBAL, CITYNEWS and all the newspapers' JOURNALISTS SHOULD ALL BE BEHIND BARS NOW!!!!!!
CRA asking residents to justify receiving CERB in Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton and rest of Canada Well my parents always said "the gov't gives with one hand and takes back with the other". So this isn't anything new.
More than 1,000 vehicles gather outside Washington to protest COVID-19 measures And Mr. Moronface thought it was bad in Ottawa, eh? He would've been peeing and poohing his pants if there were that many in Ottawa.
Data shows Canada remains dependent on COVID-19 protective gear from abroad As do we for just about everything.
Seniors should be refunded for services lost due to COVID-19, advocacy group says Or for their extra expenses, like when they weren't allowed to go out shopping for themselves and told to stay home and order everything. Most of that "everything" required credit cards in order to order it, credit cards comes with interest charges which aren't free. So those should be reimbursed.
Coping one stitch at a time during lengthy pandemic Like I said in the first few posts of this blog, hobbies, cooking, gardening, learning new skills was a way to kill time and accomplish something. I even provided copious links to several of those endeavours for those wishing to try their hand at such, or just to find new recipes or projects/patterns for hobbies they already had. I love making and trying new things almost on a daily basis. New recipes, new hobbies, new techniques, new projects etc... Today's "new thing" was "Peanut Butter & Bananas Chicken Brochettes" and some of last week's new things were dandelion jelly and dandelion syrup. While I've knit more afghans (large double or queen size bed covers like what the woman is holding in the picture) than I care to count, knitting is not one of my preferred hobbies. It's just the oldest one I have as I taught myself how to knit when I was about 7 or 8 years old using pencils as knitting needles. I really don't have the patience for it though as I find it super tedious and sometimes downright boring and annoying (especially when you think you've got it only to find out, oops you worked the 3rd stitch back wrong or the 3rd stitch on the 3rd row down wrong, or dropped a few stitches here or there). Or when the yarn starts to get tangled in the skein/ball and it's hard to pull. And other aggravating things like that. I prefer working with things like clay or wax - or even beads - things that if it goes wrong, you can either improvise and turn it into an improv work of art, or simply smoosh it all up together or melt down into a blob and start all over again either with the same design or something else. Where there are no perceived imperfections because there is no precise pattern like there is with knit patterns. I prefer doing things that I enjoy rather than cause me boredom and aggravation.
COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health professionals pushed back again Guess they're finding out what the other provinces that tried that found out.... That if they do that, they'll have even less health care workers than they have now.
Northern Health goes to court to shut down Prince George nightclub defying COVID-19 health orders Yup the fun police have to find a way to punish a club that defied orders to shut down during the plandemic and not allow people to enjoy life on their premises.
1 in 40 Islanders now has COVID-19 So that's essentially 2.5% of the population. It's scarier when you see 1 in 40 as opposed to 2.5%, isn't it? 1 in 40 sounds like way more than a mere 2.5% sounds, doesn't it? This is how they scare you into complying with their BS and they're still trying to do that even after they've lifted all the mandates.
Queen pays understated tribute to Ukraine in first in-person meeting since catching COVID OMG Mr. Weenie Dickhead is trying to impress the Queen with his vocabulary except that he's a f'n moron and even with his attempt to impress her with his vocabulary he failed miserably because what he said is redundant because insightful and perspicacious mean the exact same thing. I'm telling you every time he opens his mouth he shows us what he really is - a freaking moronic genocidal, tyrannical imbecile. A total and colossal embarrassment to the Canadian people.
More Nova Scotians turn to food banks as cost of living continues to rise That was then.... Yesterday I saw a local ad in a grocery flier online for T-bone steak for $19.99 a pound. My husband couldn't believe it, so I showed him and he shook his head. He said that's insane. I said, yup, if it keeps it up, pretty soon it'll cost us a hundred bucks and all we'll get out of that is a peep show. We'll get to see a t-bone steak for $100.00, if we want to smell it, it'll cost more and for a 1 cubic inch of the stuff it'll be double the peep show price. Seriously that's what it seems like it's coming to if the gov'ts world wide don't put their adult pants on and put the kibash on the BS between the WEF and Gates, the BIS and other money grubbers of this world and stand up for their populations who can barely afford to breath as it is, nevermind eat. Eating is becoming a luxury it seems like. Maybe that was what the forced vaccinations were for - as they were for the most part mRNA - meaning they might alter our genetic code somehow - maybe that was to allow us to survive on merely love and water and not need food to stay alive. Who knows?
School superintendents could face arrest for trying to enforce mask, vaccine mandates Here in Canada the parents would throw them a heros parade and give them medals.
Rex Murphy: 'Slippages' in democracy? Justin Trudeau knows a lot about that Another Rex Murphy story I recommend you read.
THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: A POTTED HISTORY FOR (FUTURE) READERS If you want more than just a "potted history" feel free to read this blog in it's entirety as it was started just a couple of days after the pandemic was declared and there's almost every English language COVID story I could find on the net along with a few French ones as well, covering ALL ASPECTS OF IT. Lately though, since near the end of last year I got more and more cynical as I saw what was happening and the lies and BS the authorities were trying to feed us coupled with the insane draconian laws and fines, it just got to be too much. I could no longer "just be an old ex nurse" my anti-gov't, anti-BS, self came screaming to the surface, so much so I couldn't force it down anymore and had to just call 'em as I saw 'em whether anyone else out there liked what I was saying or not, because to me when it's the truth, it's the truth and no amount of whitewashing it, will change it. So while you get the headlines and the stories, you also get my take on it and what my BS & lie detector is screaming at me about it. So far, I've yet to be proven wrong.
First wine of defence? Quebec researchers find tannic acid can stop COVID-19 from replicating Hmmmm wondering if that's the same researchers that said having a couple glasses of red wine cut down on heart attacks, when they proved that it's actually the red wine drinkers themselves were less genetically inclined to have heart disease, not because they drank or didn't drink wine but because they weren't predisposed to it to begin with due genetics and lifestyle.
Exclusive ski club received $1.4M in federal COVID relief amid 'record' year Someone should investigate to see if that's where Mr. Moron Dickhead Dressup was a snowboard instructor before he landed the much more lucrative career of being the Cdn PM.
COVID long-haulers dealing with issues accessing financial assistance Perhaps they should each open an exclusive ski club, maybe then they'd get some financial assistance.
California officials raided preschool, interviewed 2-year-olds over mask policies Wow.... Even Gestapo Legault hasn't sunk that far, yet.
'Freedom Convoy' assets to remain frozen through end of March They shouldn't have been frozen at all. Nothing like legalized robbery. This is what you call robbing the poor to pay the rich. The exact opposite of Robin Hood, given the lion's share will go to the city of Ottawa and businesses. While the citizens of Ottawa will be lucky if they see 10 cents each. But on top of that, why should the truckers pay for this as protesting is LEGAL or was until sheiteface in parliament who trembled in his boots at the thought of the big bad "terrorist" truckers and had to go into hiding, came along. Yet the real terrorists like Omar Khadr, he's not only NOT afraid of, but actually likes enough to give 10 million of Canadian taxpayers dollars too. Talk about F'd in the head moron - he's his mother's son alright. She's equally F'd in the head. So he can GIVE a REAL TERRORIST 10 Million dollars of OUR MONEY, but has to try to FLEECE hard working truckers who he deemed to be terrorists 20 Million dollars of THEIR MONEY. Got the picture yet of what kind of tyrannical asshole we're dealing with here in Canada? A total f'n wack job.
Ottawa police confirms it's investigating officers for allegedly supporting 'Freedom Convoy' OMG we can't have any of that, actual police who want to stand up against a tyrannical dictator by supporting those who are doing just that. No the police are supposed to operate as the long arm of the tyrant in power and be his jackbooted gestapo, not actually want to stand up against such a tyrant by supporting those who are doing just that.
COVID pandemic death toll may be 3 times higher than official tally, new study finds That, that's just freaking impossible because that means there'd have to have been 3 times more deaths overall from everything. Because right now if you were in a motorcycle accident but knew someone who had covid, your death from the accident was automagically written up as being COVID related. If you died of cancer, but caught covid while you were in the hospital your death certificate listed covid as cause of death, if your uncle that you never saw had covid and you died of a sudden heart attack your death was listed as covid. If you went to an establishment where someone 6 weeks before your visit was, that had covid and you died due to some other illness, it was listed as covid. So in other words EVERYONE WHO DIED DIED OF COVID. So for there to be 3x more covid deaths, there would've had to have been 3 times more deaths period. That's pretty much how the CDC instructed hospitals to list covid deaths. Don't believe me? You can find the documents by clicking on the relevant link in my right hand side panel.
Two years of the COVID-19 pandemic: What's changed and the real reason we can loosen rules now I can save you the trouble of reading all that BS.... The REAL REASON is Called the Freedom Convoy. Period end of story.
What is an 'adverse event?' Inside the recently released report on Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine Yes, that's called massaging the data to make it look more benign than it actually is. At this point in the game, I neither know nor care what those "events" were because no matter what anyone says the so-called "experts" are going to soft peddle them to make them seem harmless, when in actual fact I and most everyone else out there already knows thats total BS, based on all the previous stories and data released up until now. Facts are facts folks and it doesn't matter how much you massage them they aren't going to change.
No going back to what we used to think of as normal, experts say on pandemic anniversary Why the F not? I haven't worn a mask since the requirement was dropped here in QC. I've gone to packed restaurants, I've hugged people and I'm no worse for the wear. I refuse to live whatever time I have left in fear and constantly scared of every little thing. Like my mother used to say, "when it's your time to go, it's your time to go". I want to enjoy whatever time I have left. The tyrants in power already robbed me of 2 precious years of that time. I'm not letting them or anyone else rob me of another second of it.
Quebec opts for quiet, reflective day to mark 2nd anniversary of COVID-19 pandemic Yeah if it's quiet and not in your face, Gestapo Legault will be less likely to be grilled about his role in those deaths.
Canada posts significant jobs gains as COVID restrictions lift That definitely would NOT have happened if the restrictions were NOT lifted. So thank the big bad scary truckers for that, as they're the ones that got the restrictions lifted in the first place.
Unvaccinated MLB players can’t travel to Canada to play Blue Jays, won’t be paid Oh well c'est la vie!
Pandemic Fears Give Way to a Rush for Bomb Shelters Don't you just love it!?! The powers that be, need one way or another to keep you off balance, scared and compliant. Don't you think it's more than just a tad convenient that Putin decided to invade Ukraine just as the Freedom Convoy won it's point and got the Cdn gov't and other world gov'ts to drop all their restrictive mandates???? I'm wondering if this wasn't all planned out in advance somehow.... Gawd, I wouldn't doubt it at all.
Pfizer CEO: Fourth Covid Shot is ‘Necessary’ Necessary so he can make more money.
Now I'm going to try to stealthily sneak off to bed, before anyone notices I'm gone.... Until next time take care and stay well.
