Let's keep going...
Recently there was (yet another) post somewhere out in the world about how they will soon divorce. And my first thought was: Haven't I heard this before? which moved quickly to: how many times have I heard this (through the years)? There were a number of questions raised which ... I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. One of the points which has been raised is that KC would somehow be shelling out beaucoup money to get her to go "away". That he has all this money stashed away and can pull it out at a moment's notice. But does he? He inherited a lot of "stuff" from his mother but ... isn't it a lot of tangible stuff like properties? and with that staff to maintain it and insurance. Inside said properties is art, antique furniture and other "old stuff" which may be valuable" but ... that kind of thing is subject to the whims and bank accounts of the rarified people who may be interested in it (which is not most of us in terms of bei

@Jdubya,
Everything's a conspiracy theory today It seems to be the fallback way to shut people up without posing an argument or their own facts. "Because Susie and Timmy said it's a conspiracy when we were on the playground, so shut up!" Easier than critical thinking, and so many have smoothly bought into it as a lazy throw-away line.
Lots of stuff isn't true. But once something is proven true? Once news and facts emerge? Mmmm, awkward.
He wants the glitz and glamor without the actual work. He loves to dress up (and now dress down to be casual CA H).
His accent has changed now. and i'm certain he is taking coaching. He very well may try to get in to some films. Probably playing a soldier (high ranking of course) leading his men in to combat and winning the war. Or maybe a super hero.
the possibilities are endless !!! (who am i trying to kid here?)

I think he didn't at first, but she prevailed, and he is
addicted to the cheap fame of pap partnering as well.
“Every time someone is quoted as a ‘friend’ of Harry or Meghan, post Royal life, make no mistake, that is their publicist,” the insider said.
Parshotam (A PAP) made it clear that when he interacted with Meghan before she married Prince Harry, she was very kind to the paps. The funny thing about that is Meghan has also posed with paparazzi. I have seen images of her standing next to paparazzi,“ he spilled. “The photographer has his arm around her, he’s standing next to her. Meghan also used to organize set-ups. She would ask an agency, ‘I am turning up to a restaurant, event, can you photograph me coming in?’ She herself had a relationship with the press before she got into a relationship with Harry. I felt like she knew how to manipulate and knew how to use the media in her favor previously to her relationship with Harry,” he added.
Gosh you really think so? (feigns surprise, batting eyes).
Ha! I agree.
re your Dan Wootton post (excellent, thank you) -- I notice this bit in particular near the end of Wootton's article:
CNN would not comment on why the video had been completely hidden from view.
An insider at the broadcaster said the deletion would not have taken place 'due to any outside pressure or request'.
But despite multiple requests, a spokesman for CNN would not tell me if there had been any communication from The Sussexes, Oprah Winfrey or friends of either.
That explanation won't appease royal sources who fear CNN got spooked and decided not to push a narrative that would upset woke favourites Harry and Meghan.
.......again, I think my main question would be "WHY did this happen?" Why is CNN invested, why is Netflix invested, why are people like Oprah and Biden invested in these two unaccomplished idiots?
That, to me, is the real story.
I hadn't forgotten about Brynn G... but would she have the clout to do this?
Doubt it somehow.
And how convenient that MM is such CLOSE friends with someone who from a distance in a b/w photo can resemble MM so well, and who even has a kid about the right age who can stunt double for the mysterious Archie. It's almost....amazing!
Like you, I don't think someone like Brynn would have any clout to do this. I think she is a piece of the puzzle, though.
.......again, I think my main question would be "WHY did this happen?" Why is CNN invested, why is Netflix invested, why are people like Oprah and Biden invested in these two unaccomplished idiots?

Meghan Markle writes a children’s book called ‘The Bench’ about the relationship between dads and sons that was inspired by a poem she wrote for Harry on his first Father’s Day after Archie was born.

Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex’s first children’s book, The Bench, beautifully captures the special relationship between father and son, as seen through a mother’s eyes. The book’s storytelling and illustration give us snapshots of shared moments that evoke a deep sense of warmth, connection, and compassion.
This is your bench
Where you’ll witness great joy.
From here you will rest
See the growth of our boy.
In The Bench, Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, touchingly captures the evolving and expanding relationship between father and son and reminds us of the many ways that love can take shape and be expressed in a modern family.
Evoking a deep sense of warmth, connection, and compassion, The Duchess’s debut children’s book gives us a window into shared and enduring moments between a diverse group of fathers and sons—moments of peace and reflection, trust and belief, discovery and learning, and comfort and nurture.
Working in watercolor for the first time, Caldecott-winning, bestselling illustrator Christian Robinson expands on his signature style to bring joy and softness to the pages, reflecting the beauty of a father’s love through a mother’s eyes.
With a universal message, this thoughtful and heartwarming read-aloud is destined to be treasured by families for generations to come.
Does no one see the disconnect???
Oh no, a Meghan book for kiddos.
• She of the invisible "son"
• who used, bankrupted and vanquished her own father
• who split her husband from his father and grandfather
• who encouraged her husband to attack his own brother
• who attacks her brother-in-law's daughter
• and who is herself the daughter of a woman whose father died under rather mysterious circumstances
....is publishing a book about warm meaningful parent-child relationships.
Let's see if anyone speaks up if this book gets heavy press around American Father's Day (in June).
If you scroll down on the Amazon link I posted you get to see 2 of the book illustrations.
Second one is red head JH in army gear!!
I feel sickened.
Anyone remember that zoom interview where they were sitting on a bench in "their backyard?" And how Harry's wife was taking over the bench? And how everyone was comparing it to a picture of PC and Diana sitting on a bench?!
Hmmm....the plot thickens.
Don’t be sick. See it as an opportunity, like MM would.
Clearly, it is time for @Magatha Mistie to write “The Hat” —
....which shall capture the special relationship between hooker and client, as seen through a yacht girl’s eyes. The poetic storytelling and illustrations will give us snapshots of shared moments that evoke a deep sense of financial connection, the compassion of a diverse range of clients, old, bristled and bristled, paunchy and oiled, as witnessed by the White Panama Hat from floor, bedpost, deck, and bar.
Clearly, it is time for @Magatha Mistie to write “The Hat” —

All of this is completely true. What is also completely true is that people such as she tend to erupt in physical violence when thwarted.
I have read here that the *only* worry that the people have about those two is that they *may* have a helpless child in their clutches. I hope that their "nanny" (or nannies), if they have any, is being *very* wary because if *anything* happens to that child, the household help will be accused.
A book, through her eyes, from a personal ‘poem’ to Harry, about Archie and Harry?
-diss at Charles? Check Mark
- Diss at Thomas? Check Mark
More mind control of Harry? Check Mark
She really wants Harry to think she’s the only person who ‘cares’ about him. It’s psychotic.
I wonder if she’s having an advance copy sent to Thomas as a Fathers Day gift.
The book is due out on 7 May. Meanwhile, the unmentionable wife 'writes' a children's book. All profits to herself, I presume?

I think Harry's wife is running out of options, so she took the idea from Fergie to write a children's book. She never has an original thought, just copies others.
@ Swampwoman,
"is publishing a book about warm meaningful parent-child relationships."
What an assault on our intelligence.
After the way she's raised "Archie," I find this to be an assault on our intelligence.
its bold to keep the father son relationship and reference to harry and archie, especially if archie doesnt live with them.

Exactly so.
"The duke has reportedly taken the lead on the build as he has "an artistic streak", according to one insider."

I read on the MM Unpopular Opinions thread on LSA that H's wife (aka Mrs. 6) will also be narrating that book she "wrote". OMG! Who narrates a children's book? Don't their parents usually read it to them? If anything saves that book, it'll be the artwork.
I can't even.
Also, two Novembers ago I went to an event and met the Princess Royal. The protocol of the event required all of us to be standing prior to her entrance and only seated after she had taken her seat.
I know Harry has gotten some press saying he received a standing ovation but I am seriously not buying it given my experience. I realize he's not a working royal so that protocol wouldn't apply to him but I think it's important to note there's a difference between standing for someone because they deserve respect and/or because of protocol and because some crowd warmer cued the audience.
"The duke has reportedly taken the lead on the build as he has "an artistic streak", according to one insider."

An artistic 'streak', hunh? The only artistic streak that I could imagine is a stripe of yellow down his back when it comes to speaking up about his wife lying about her in-laws. And Harry, why didn't you ever visit your father in law?

Without the dukedom, H would be `Prince H of Wales' and the wife would be `Princess H of Wales', just as Prince Michael of Kent's wife is `Princess Michael of Kent'.
This would not be a good idea-
We know that `Princess' is lower rank than `Duchess' - but the wife would see it that she is a Princess at last, ie she's won.
Moreover, she won't understand about having to use husband's name, not hers -
She call herself `M, Princess of Wales' and then `M, The Princess of Wales'.
Success!!! She's on a par with Diana!!!!!
That really wouldn't do.
My opinion is let her succeed or fail on her merits, not fake book reviews.

This woman is incapable of an original thought. "The Boy on the Bench" is a story about the love between a father and a son, and describes how the boy learns to socialise confidently. I hope that Corrinne Averiss considers legal action.
“ The playground is packed with children playing, but Tom is sitting on a bench with his dad.
He’s just not sure he’s brave enough to join in …
Tom can't see a space for himself anywhere in the playground. Not on the slide, or on the roundabout or on the swings … But when a little girl loses her teddy, will Tom have the courage to help?
Gabriel Alborozo's warm, friendly illustrations perfectly bring to life this gentle, empathetic story about overcoming fears and being yourself.”

Meghan says: “The Bench started as a poem I wrote for my husband on Father’s Day, the month after Archie was born. That poem became this story...My hope is that The Bench resonates with every family, no matter the make-up, as much as it does with mine.”
what a weird thing to write, the month after archie was born. Is that to make a reference to dates, considering the rumors the baby was born earlier to the surrogate? always trying to correct the rumors? Most people would say i wrote this poem for my husband on his first father's day.

"Duchess of Sussex" sounds like a name for any future female dog that I may end up with.
I think... much like MM's failure to deliver in the thesbian realm, unless Harry is capable of understanding & re-delivering emotions (performative empathy aka "acting"), he will be unable to anchor any such production and would only be a side character for vanity or show.
Harry Styles recently took a war-boy role, he is new to acting, I don't know how his role was received (okay?) but he was not the main character to my understanding. Some known British battle film, more power to him.
PRINCE Harry does not seem quite as flexible or emotionally intelligent as Harry Styles (who I cannot quantify as an actor as I haven't seen him) so I highly doubt he would make a significant splash on our screens, especially if HIS WIFE is castrating his overall expression of self at the roots.

Snip: "Today host Karl Stefanovic LAUGHS at Meghan Markle for writing poetry for her husband Prince Harry - as she releases her first children's book about father-son relationships
Today host Karl Stefanovic scoffed at Meghan Markle on Wednesday while discussing her new children's book about father-son relationships.
The Channel Nine presenter, 46, couldn't believe the book, titled The Bench, had started out as a poem the Duchess of Sussex had written for her husband Prince Harry on Father's Day...
The loose segment began with Karl's co-host Allison Langdon questioning the words on her own autocue, which compared Meghan to famous children's authors.
'Meghan Markle is joining the ranks of Roald Dahl and J.K. Rowling - oh, a stretch - by writing her first children's book about the bond between fathers and sons,' she said.
When Allison said there would be an audiobook coming out too, LA-based reporter Amelia couldn't hide her sarcasm.
'Yeah, can you imagine anything better? I mean, pop it on in the car, pop it on at home when you're cooking dinner. Meghan's dulcet tones...' she said.
Back in Today's Sydney studio, Karl slammed his desk and burst into laughter, then said: 'They actually write poetry together!'
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is to publish a children's book next month titled The Bench about the relationship between a father and son based on her husband Prince Harry and the couple's child Archie, the publisher said on Tuesday."

Oh, I keep forgetting to write this - in the Vax Live thingie, Hairy introduced himself as "Princess Diana's son"
Is it just me that wants to slap him and tell him to BE A MAN?
My brother got very sick with 2nd Covid shot (Pfizer) and within days ended up with fast heart rate & blood clots leading to a massive stroke. I got 2nd shot and was not too ill, but ended up in ER and Hospital suspect I might have blood clot in my lungs. Reported it to Pfizer and will tomorrow report it to FDA.
(1) Yes -- PR money buys those book list slots. You know she’ll hurl another bag of Harry’s money at it. Come on, hun, spend it all!
(2). GET OUT! That is how he introduced himself? As “Princess Diana’s son”?! Oh my god, what a massive berk he is! 🤣🤣🤣
Just thought I’d pass that along, since I have no idea who he is. (Other than I thought the illustration for the book I saw was nice)
Maybe Harry’s wife changed her name to Meghan Duchess of Sussex Kinda like a rapper. Fifty cents or Eminem
I kinda like Fifty Cent Meghan Duchess of Sussex.
Please take care.
My 72 year old neighbour was diagnosed with Covid last week. He went to get tested on my advice because he was suffering from very bad body aches. I told him to drink tonic water and take zinc and he has no symptoms anymore, except for a little upset stomach. No fever, no cough, nothing.
He's pretty overweight and has a few health issues so I am surprised that he's doing so well.
His neighbour is 39 years old, not overweight and healthy. She was also diagnosed and has very bad body aches and won't take the tonic water...

By the way, there are different forms of zinc which you may absorb better - zinc picolinate, zinc carnosine and zinc orotate to name a few. Always take your zinc with food to avoid stomach upset.
I haven't got my vaccine because I am afraid of a cytokine storm if I do. I react really badly to so many things.
No, because when they wanted a follow-up CT scan they attempted to put an IV in me with Contrast Dye which I just told them upon entry to ER I previously had a Anaphylatic reaction to, so they didn't do anything for me. I walked out so they could get their medical act together...No blood thinner, and now I almost don't care because I don't know how to go on without my brother. :(

Comment:
Chalara Dieback, Leominster, United Kingdom, 1 hour ago
People are reporting that they were given free tickets and bussed in to the event and told that they had to stand, cheer and give a standing ovation when he appeared. A YouTuber who had cousins at the event reported it in to her.
Please don't think that way.
I lost my brother suddenly a few years ago and was heart broken for over a year.
Now, I feel his presence beside me every day and I know we will be reunited one day when the time comes.
😃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am sorry for your loss :(
It's not a loss, it's merely a temporary separation. A long one but temporary.
I'm sorry about your brother.
Oh my god, so sorry to hear all this. I personally know four women who ended up in ICU within two hours of their second injections (one friend three former coworkers, different parts of the US) — two were hospitalized in comas for days. One didn’t survive. All had been fit runners with no issues, 40s and 50s. It is a shocking thing and I am so so sorry about your brother.
@Girl With a Hat, I share your worries.
My mother had a blood clot in her lung when she was in hospital but they didn't believe her when she suggested this might be the problem. They finally got her on blood thinners a week later.
Take care and remember that there are caring people all around you, they just don't get hired to work in hospitals so please don't base yourself on the reaction of these people.
Please report in tomorrow to let us know how you are doing. I am going to turn in for the night. Sleep well.
@Girl with a Hat
Yes I agree it is only a temporary separation, but I meant a loss because you did go thru the pain for some time and it is wonderful you can feel your brother's presence before being reunited. I do truly believe you will be reunited! :)
@GWAH Bravo 👏 😆
@Swampie

Or Penny Oprah?
Heh. Some good rapper names here!
OMG, that is scary indeed and rather strange considering their presumed good health. Statistically it boggles my mind. Oh I fell for you. Personallky I have talked to 3 RN's and none of them will get the shots (including my sister before what happened to our brother). They all say that it has not been tested enough to feel it is safe enough for them.
Maybe there is more of this we aren't hearing about these Covid vaccines. Like many people, I knew about the possible blood clots with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine but I had not heard anything bad about Pfizer. But upon reading their website (and confirmed by Pfizer rep) I learned in fact, rapid heart rate and blood clot has been reported. I had an inkling to tell my brother not to get the shot but he was eager and I was ambivalent. Now I hate myself for not telling him he maybe shouldn't have gotten it (since he used to listen to my medical advice). So I have to live with guilt over this.
Thank you for your concern!!
Yes, many probably don't report as I had to wait on the phone for over and hour to talk to the Pfizer rep. Then it was confusing because there were 3 different phone numbers and one report does not get told to the other agency/company numbers from what I understood. I told the doctor at the Hospital (for my brother) and one did not even acknowledge what I said to him and the other discounted it without asking me for details!!

Very sorry to hear about your brother :(

@Carol,
Oh my god, so sorry to hear all this. I personally know four women who ended up in ICU within two hours of their second injections (one friend three former coworkers, different parts of the US) — two were hospitalized in comas for days. One didn’t survive. All had been fit runners with no issues, 40s and 50s. It is a shocking thing and I am so so sorry about your brother.
@Girl With a Hat, I share your worries.
AnT, do you know which vaccines? I think I recall that they weren't going to recommend AstraZeneca vaccines for women under 50 any longer? Also, Pfizer has been implicated in myocarditis (heart muscle inflammation) for a small number of males under 30.
The second Pfizer vaccine kicked my 16-year-old grandson's butt. He was quite tired and nauseated for several days after taking it. I would've been hesitant about him getting it, but he's had an offer from a well-known hospital to shadow the medical people this summer and a vaccine was required. (I suspect that the offer was tendered due to his college status and GPA; they may not have noted his age.) Had his mom known about the myocarditis that some small amount of males under age 30 have reportedly suffered, maybe she would not have signed the consent and accompanied him.
That being said, for those that are not taking the vaccine, the COVID-19 virus will cause extreme blood clotting. I'm still taking an 81 mg aspirin tablet daily. I was taking NAC (N-acetylcysteine) because it interferes with coagulation. I stopped taking NAC about a month ago because (a) vaccine and (b) I ran out (grin). Next time I'm near a vitamin shop, I shall go ahead and buy another bottle. It dissolves the bonds that make thick mucus, too, make it easier to cough out.
For the non-vaxxers, I would recommend that everybody ups their game when it comes to COVID masks due to the higher viral load of the variants, as well as OTC measures that can really increase your chances such as making sure your blood levels of vitamin D are adequate. Making sure that your blood sugar is well controlled, your diet is good, and your weight is within normal limits is also helpful (this is one of those do as I say and not as I do recommendations, just so y'all know).
I do not recommend taking the vaccine. I do not recommend not taking the vaccine.That is an individual decision based on your particular circumstances. I wasn't going to take it because of my allergies but I did the mental shrug and did it anyway with no ill results (aside from arm pain and tiredness), but this may not be true for you.

Thank you for your sentiment!
Very Sorry your lost your Granma due to Contrast Dye. :(
I told the Hospital in advance that "if I had it again it might kill me" and then they tried to give it to me. This is like the 3rd time this has happened to me in the last 8 yrs at two different medical facilities and once with Penicillin.
I shudder to think how often this happens to people. :-( I am trying to do a very mean face!
Sorry to hear abt your brother. Hope for a speedy and full recovery for him and you too.
My family and some of my colleagues have already received 2 doses of Pfizer. None of us had any severe reaction. In fact, apart from the sore arm the day after the vaccination, there was nothing else.
It is really up to the indiv whether to take the vaccine. Fyi in Singapore (we are using Pfizer and Modena), we are having a second wave, this time from the highly infectious indian mutant 3 cirus. Data released by the ministry of health yesterday showed that those who had received 2 doses of the vaccine either had mild symptons or are asymptomatic. None of those infected needed oxygen support. Results were not the same for those not vaccinated or only received one dose.
Hence, the govt is stepping up on the vaccination program.

I hope your brother makes a swift recovery. Did he have any allergies or medical conditions? It's worth mentioning to your doctor. A friend's daughter with lots of allergies had to have her jab in hospital and be monitored for a couple of hours afterwards. I think they decided not to give her Pfizer.
That said,we've had our two jabs, AZ and hubby had Pfizer, so far so good, no side effects. Nutties, don't let one bad experience put you off, they seem pretty rare.
Sarah Ferguson put out a series of books of all stripes, starting while she was still married to Andrew, with Budgie the Little Helicopter, which she sold under her HRH (https://www.amazon.com/Budgie-Little-Helicopter-Duchess-Ferguson/dp/0671676830). She wrote a book for children in 2012 and is still peddling under the Duchess of York title, although she lost her HRH (https://www.amazon.com/Tea-Ruby-Paula-Wiseman-Books/dp/1416954201/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=sarah+ferguson&qid=1620208377&s=books&sr=1-5) And she has a book coming out in August and her title appears to be on the front cover (https://www.amazon.com/Her-Heart-Compass-Sarah-Ferguson/dp/0062976524/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=sarah+ferguson&qid=1620208377&s=books&sr=1-2).
Nutties, don't let one bad experience put you off, they seem pretty rare.
Having my first AZ jab in a few days time, so thanks for stating this, as I was starting to panic!
I know quite a few people who've had the AZ and they've been fine. Good luck.
Thank you. :)

@WBBM,
Excellent. That's really good to hear. :)
How long did you have to wait before 1st and 2nd jab?
I had Moderna 30 day gap. Very sore arm after first (48 hrs or so) Only lasted 24 hours after second.
I know your question was to @WBBM but just to let you know, in our case we had to wait 11 weeks, so did friends of ours.
Was Meghan Markle inspired by a British children's author with The Bench? Royal watchers accuse Duchess of ripping off Corrinne Averiss' story about a father and son's bond with an 'identical' cover and illustrations

Meghan Markle is ‘on dodgy ground’ writing a book about relationships with fathers after ‘bust-up with her dad’ who Prince Harry has still never even met, royal authors warn
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9544547/Did-Meghan-Markle-COPY-childrens-author-Bench.html
Thanks. At least I have some idea now. :)
Hmmm, I don't wish to rain on the comically sycophantic parade - but I suspect this book will become an instant historical classic for all the wrong reasons.
The whole notion of Meghan Markle dishing out advice to anyone about the relationship between fathers and children is absolutely ridiculous given the appalling relationships she and her husband have with their own fathers.
Yet her brazen decision to do it anyway is so sadly typical of a woman whose tendency for staggering hypocrisy is only matched by her extraordinary tone-deafness.
I'd honestly rather hear parenting tips from Britney Spears's god-awful father because at least they still talk to each other.
In the press release, Ms Markle is described as 'a mother, wife, feminist, and activist' who 'currently resides in her home state of California with her family, two dogs, and a growing flock of rescue chickens.'
What it didn't clarify is that she resides with a lot more animals than family members.

I’m reposting this from a previous thread/post
Re COVID vaccination.
I was asked by my GP (before both vaccinations) whether I’d ever suffered any severe allergic reaction to any vaccination, whether I was on any blood thinning drugs (I can’t remember all the questions asked unfortunately (they were listed on the documentation handed to me) I was also told if I developed a headache that lasted longer than 72 hours and/or developed any chest pains I had to contact my GP.
I’ve had my 1st and 2nd (AstraZeneca) vaccinations and I was unwell for around 4 days with flu like symptoms and the first night I suffered from insomnia. The 2nd dose, I suffered a little fatigue but that’s all. I drank lots of water prior to the vaccination (a nurse told a friend to do so when she had the Pfizer one) so I did the same. I took paracetamol and most of the side effects abated. My Mum in her late 70s had the same one as me and only suffered from slight fatigue on the 2nd dose.
My GP said, if you suffer side effects quickly (within hours) it’s a sign of a faster reactive immune system, but side effects also indicate you’d be unwell if you caught actual COVID. He added that most people who’ve have the Pfizer one, are more unwell (with side effects) with the 2nd dose. Personally I know people who suffered side effects with both AstraZeneca and Pfizer and some with none at all.
Thanks. I've taken a screenshot of that info to remind me what to look out for.
The headache and chest pain worries me slightly as I suffer from both in various degrees quite regularly.
How will I know if it's my 'usual' pain or caused by the vaccine? Aaarghhhhhh! 😓
For my second shot, I had a bad sinus headache that morning which I wanted to take something for except they don't want you to take even aspirin before as it might dilute any side effects.
I was thinking about the book to come out. Wondering if it will become part of the O's kid book club?
I asked my GP about any concerns just before I had my 1st and 2nd vaccination. So I’d suggest the same to you, though my GP’s did ask a number of questions prior and they pretty much covered all I needed to know.
I was glad I got the AstraZeneca one, because I was more worried about any possible Anaphylactic shock with the Pfizer one.
Good Luck! :o)
Sarah Ferguson's new upcoming book comes in at 560 pages. She must have had another writer helping her out. Highly dubious SF has 560 pages in her. M's book.... The words will be her wokist twaddle, though the illustrator seems very competent. So M's book is also 90% farmed out to the illustrator.
Frankly, I think this covid thing is like Pascal's wager. It may be that the masking, distancing, lockdowning and jabbing has some benefit - or perhaps not, but are you prepared to take the risk that should you not perform these rituals bad things will happen to you. Having been brought up in faith schools the similarities are for me glaring.
Unfortunately, I doubt there's enough time left for me to discuss my concerns with my GP.
Oh well - will just have to keep my fingers crossed that all goes well.
Thanks anyway. :)
The COVID deaths came mostly from elders that live independently in their own homes. I won't say they were all in good health, but they were in *good enough* health to care for themselves. What do I define as mostly? Seventy nine percent of our county deaths were from people aged 65 and above (79.2%). An additional 14.4% of the deaths were from people aged 55 to 64. When you throw the 45 to 54 age groups into the equation, that brings up an additional 4% of deaths. For people aged 30 and below in our county, there were *no* deaths.
Our schools have been open the entire year and teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, janitors, and other assorted aides have not all died or even gotten ill. We had one bus driver death (from COVID) in the county.
Our (local) hospitals have gotten very good at treating people with COVID and keeping them from progressing.
People should probably also be looking at the number of people with long-haul COVID with long-term disabilities from the virus when they make their decisions. Sadly, we don't really know at this point, just like we do not know if there are long-term consequences of the vaccines.
Secondly, since I react badly to everything, I will not be getting any vaccine and will depend on prevention and treatment of Covid for my health. Like I said previously, my 72 year old neighbour caught Covid and took tonic water and zinc and his symptoms have subsided almost completely after 3 days. After 1 week, he no longer feels sick and will stop his quarantine in 2 more days.
This is the future of covid issues - treatment - since we cannot get vaccinated every 4 months for the rest of our lives. The vaccines are only good for 4-6 months.
MEGHAN MARKLE has won her copyright claim against a British publisher over the publication of a "personal and private" letter to her estranged father.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1432010/meghan-markle-court-case-high-court-letter-father-thomas-markle-royal-family-news
It's obvious to me that TM's daughter wanted her handwritten!! letter published since she shared it with the 5 "friends." Her lawsuit only caused the Streisand Effect of drawing more attention to it.
How can they keep coming up smelling of roses after all the stuff they do and say... speechless.
O/T
I asked on the day of my vaccination, I didn’t get any opportunity beforehand either. If they think whatever one isn’t right for you, they will discuss options with you. ;o)
“Reading the description and published excerpt of the Duchess’s new book, this is nor the same story or the same theme as The Boy on the Bench. I don’t see any similarities.”
And then she turned off commenting.
We were expecting 12 weeks but it turned out to be 11.
O/T Re COVID.
I’ve known people who’ve died from COVID and survived. All countries are dealing with this differently, including what vaccinations are being used. I’m in the U.K. and I’ve done a lot of beforehand research, plus I’ve been been unwell with all other vaccinations to date. I still got my vaccinations done regardless. No vaccination is 100% safe; I make my own choices and take chances as I see fit.
Great comment re COVID etc. So many unknowns etc, but we just roll with it....a bit like what we do with the ridiculous Duo, Mole and Maggot... :o/
On a harkles note, now we know why news of the book was released to take attention off of the appeal. The palace appears to be backing away. I am guessing they just want it all to go away.
Also, please note the Vs do not necessarily stop you getting it, or spreading it. They simply give you a chance (66% to 94%, depending on V brand) of having a less terrible reaction or illness from the virus. Which may be absolutely enough for most people, yes!!!! but I am not sure people are aware of the limitations. I assume as they test and develop. effectiveness might improve.
My concern is, the gamble. I am willingly taking a V that might seriously harm me, that I might not even need if I have the ability to fight it and develop antibodies naturally as I did before, and as others may have as well since many people experience nothing to little if they catch the virus.
So, to me, in my case, I have to ask: is it like layering a risk on top of a risk. For those who have had bad reactions to a flu V, or PEG, for example, or who have other allergies or conditions, it's a serious consideration. Not a blithe "oh well give it a whirl, join the club, take a selfie with your cute bandage, woo hoo, I'm a hero!" thing. Because once this particular kind of V jab is in you, and its delivery system embeds. So okay you are covered and that sounds great -- but you cannot wait it out, or remove it if you are one of those who have some bad response to some part of its composition. THere's nothing they can do, and that worries me, yes. If you had no major reactions that is wonderful! But, the push to drive others with allergies to "take a chance" is bizarre to me. It's like forcing a peanut butter sandwich on a kid with nut allergies because every other kid is eating one. No caring person would do that.
Everyone needs to make a personal choice and for the oldest among us it is probably the wise thing to do per the doctors and scientists I know. For others, it is not so clear cut. In fact, is so confusing people are asking each other about it on sites like this one, because the info requires a bit of work to acquire and contemplate and continuing study as information emerges daily. My antennae go up when someone doesn't want to keep me easily informed about what they are injecting me with. Even your GP will explain a surgery to you.
Re your pets -- that sounds similar what one of my EU science friends mentioned they were monitoring, but with people -- something called shedding. I am totally paraphrasing this but basically, they noticed that as vaccinated people's bodies apparently get rid of virus cells or slough off virus or vac cell somehow (the word used was "shedding"), the shedded cells can then sicken those around them in near vicinity like a workplace or home, so those unvac'd people might get a clot, or fever normally associated with vac side effects.
-- I obviously don't know if it is the same with animals, but, that's interesting. since you are noting two cases. I will have to watch our two cats next week after Mr AnT gets his second P jab.
As 'Ambushed' Prince Harry Teams
Back Up With Oprah Winfrey Amid Family Feud
https://radaronline.com/p/prince-william-kate-youtube-harry-oprah-tv-show-royal-family-feud/
The eldest son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana has launched a YouTube channel with his wife, Kate Middleton, and the timing couldn't be more interesting.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge posted their very first video to YouTube on Wednesday, the same day Radar exclusively reported that Harry is gearing up for round two with Oprah Winfrey!
While the royal family is "bracing themselves" after his last sit-down with the talk show queen ended with him and his bride Meghan Markle accusing someone in the palace of racism, William put on a happy face for the camera and warned Kate "to be careful what you say."
Sitting next to his wife, 38-year-old William wore his signature navy crew neck and joked, “By the way, you have to be careful what you say now because these guys, they’re filming everything."
The 25-second clip shows the duo's loving companionship and ends with Kate teasing William. “You didn’t need to roll your r’s," she told him, to which he cheekily responded, "Do I not?”
Fans immediately applauded the couple for normalizing themselves despite being part of the royal family. William and Kate's PR team were working overtime to outshine his little brother.
They also personalized the couple's Instagram handle, changing it from @KensingtonRoyal to @DukeandDuchessofCambridge.
As for Harry, the family are "terrified" over what he'll reveal next.
“The assumption is he will blame them and the institution for his own mental health struggles as well as blaming the UK press. They do know that Harry will be talking with Oprah about his life before he met Meghan and how the death of his mother shaped him. What the royal family don’t know is how much Harry is going to blame them," our insider told us.
The joint mental health series has been in the works for years and will be released this month. with Harry is the “co-creator and executive producer” of the series, despite having no former TV experience.
As Radar exclusively reported, Harry felt "ambushed" by William and Charles during an unscheduled two-hour meeting following Philip's service. Despite their attempts, the conversation between the three royal family members was “unproductive.”
We're told Harry refused to negotiate with his brother and father without Meghan present.
The Duchess of Sussex stayed behind in Los Angeles. She is currently pregnant with the couple's second child and it's a girl!

Hey:
So, copycat MM has put out a book to step on the publication of the photo coffee table book Catherine helped with.
Does this mean the Harkles are quickly having a "Diana holding Archie sitting on a bench" cement bust created for their garden by July 1? Will Megs be having it whittled or carved out of soap as Harry's "Father's Day" prezzie?
And if so --- will Harry choose to attend the unveiling of THAT, instead of the other Diana statue unveiling in the U.K.?
O/T
Even the annual flu jab doesn’t stop you getting flu, you just get a milder version of it and less likely to die. We can only make life choices for ourselves, but not for others. ;o/
Blind Item #2
The alliterate one just writes a check and the next thing you know, the author who was plagiarized, says nothing is amiss.
Everyone is guessing Megs
They also personalized the couple's Instagram handle, changing it from @KensingtonRoyal to @DukeandDuchessofCambridge.
As for Harry, the family are "terrified" over what he'll reveal next.

The joint mental health series has been in the works for years and will be released this month. with Harry is the “co-creator and executive producer” of the series, despite having no former TV experience.
The royal family being "terrified" what the Dastardly Duo reveal next sounds like a fever dream. Exasperated, maybe, but terrified, not so much. All they have to do is say "Poor Harry; yes, he's suffered from mental problems for YEARS. Sadly, he would refuse help."
Show of hands, everybody! Does anybody anywhere actually believe that Harry is the "co-creator and executive producer"? Well, *somebody* is good at creative writing.
