And fire. Lots of fire. Bugs hate fire.

Oh dear, another covid death.
I discovered https://ogdaa.blogspot.com/ a week or so ago, multiple daily posts and heavily US centered. There’s tons of interesting stuff but my favourites are the collections of Facebook posts, Gifdumps, and RoastMe. Very likely nsfw.
David, I would recommend taking some proper “soothing medicaments”. By which I mean beer. Biscuits and chocolate just don’t cut it.
Not a reaction to a flu shot or Covid ‘booster’, I hope? Get well soon!
Are you sure it’s not the ‘rona?

I’m with Ian on the soothing medicaments – I’ve found a smooth whiskey to be quite soothing to a cough. Feel better soon.
I’ve donated some cash so you can buy yourself a bracing pick-me-up. Get well soon.

I did have a flu jab on Monday, so it may be that. Feels ‘fluey’. On the other hand, The Other Half has been feeling rough for a week or two, so I suppose it could be this ‘super-cold’ I’ve been hearing about. Either way, I’m suffering heroically.

Bless you, sir. May your potatoes be big and therefore easy to peel.

Beer?
Have you lost your senses, man?
This or this, maybe even this, but not beer.
Get well soon, David.

All jokes aside, for colds and flu I recommend lots of hot tea with honey. And chicken soup. Lots of chicken soup.
PST, that was savage.
Hot Toddy recipe:
Ingredients: Whisky (blended – keep the good stuff for when you are better), lemon juice, honey, hot water, teaspoon (important).
Method: Pour a finger or two of whisky into a glass. Spoon a generous amount of honey on top, leaving the spoon in the glass. Squeeze in lemon, then pour in hot water. Wait a few seconds, stir and drink.
If you don’t leave the spoon in for a while, the glass may crack. If in doubt, use a mug. Go to bed, sleep well, and expect a full recovery in the morning.

In our household, we usually also toss in a lemon wedge with 4 cloves stuck in it, and you can substitute brandy, dark rum, or even gin for the whisky depending on what your preferences.

Hot and cold alcoholic drinks with fruit juice used to be far more common.
Both of you get well soon, and stay 6 feet away from the hamster.

I just hit that funny yellow button at the top of the page … please send out for some chicken soup and comfort yummies of choice. Selfishly, I want you to feel better soon and be at full scintillation.

Bless you, madam. When emerging from the supermarket laden with carrier bags, having offered to help your father-in-law do a spot of grocery shopping, may you never start loading said bags onto the back seat of a car remarkably like your father-in-law’s car, and parked right next to it, resulting in a bewildered look from the owner of the car, to whom hasty and mortified apologies must be made.

The ‘blessings’ based on our host’s ultra-traumatic experiences are one of the reasons I love this blog. Take another ping, sir, but I demand a really horrific blessing!

I still think the kitchen foil catastrophe of 2018 captures something of the mental agonies I endure.
In all seriousness, if you are coughing bad make tea with oregano and add honey. It is very fine so you need to use a tea strainer thingy. It stops those hacking coughs. Taste meh.

Yes indeed. As are the punishments. At least when others are being disciplined. [ Rolls up pants legs to see if scars are gone yet ]

Well, the Chinese are angrily demanding answers. As one blogger commented, “How to say you’ve lost a sub without saying you’ve lost a sub”. Or it’s just China being asshoe because China is asshoe.

Just what is a “ballistic parachute”?
Lesbians are being pressured into sex by some trans women. Pressure, harassment, threats of violence, and threats of employment. The bullies are rarely named publicly. Perhaps that should change.

Oh good grief – first they expect everyone to keep up with the pronoun crap and now they just change names like dresses and haircolors? Very unserious, unwell people.
Interesting picture of the bloke on his bike, though – strapping male body, Skittles hair color, and blood red nail polish and lipstick. Like that Dr Crimeny or whatshisname – these guys all seem to have the same cartoon idea of what a woman is. And then the activist ones take to twitter and screech about being reduced to genitalia when lesbians don’t want to have sex with them. They’ve reduced women to some weird stereotype, but woe to anyone who doesn’t applaud their image loudly enough.

Given that the trans demographic has rates of serious mental illness an order of magnitude higher than the broader population, including a deranging need for affirmation – and given that transgenderism is often a result of childhood abuse and molestation, and consequently may entail a, shall we say, odd view of sexual boundaries – a wide berth seems advisable.
Also, if you’re immersed in the “LGBT community,” in which browbeating people into dysfunctional, doctrinaire and coercive relationships is apparently considered an act of piety, perhaps it’s time to rethink your choices and find better company.
Oh good grief – first they expect everyone to keep up with the pronoun crap…
This young lady loads a shot gun with and fires all the words to make absolutely no sense till the very end where she, unfortunately, doesn’t know what “recovery” means.

Including “neurodivergent”: An increasingly popular euphemism for “defective brain“. I have witnessed seriously dysfunctional people call themselves “neurodivergent” as an excuse to demand that everyone else cater to their bad behavior in the name of “diversity”.
…where she, unfortunately, doesn’t know what “recovery” means.
Note that she is “Unitarian Universalist”. Recovery will be optional in a subculture that applauds her for being an absolute train wreck.

Er, no.

Er, no.
What? You contradict this broadly unattainable young lass?
Er, no.
Well, quite. And as we’ve seen, if you start with a fundamental dishonesty, i.e., “trans women are women,” and persist in that pretence, you may soon find yourself in some very unhappy territory.
