Oh, it donāt mean a thing
if you aināt got that
peer-reviewable, controlled, high-quality recovery and safety data
and availability without bankrupting the average person 
Hrm, doesnāt flow nearly as well as the original.

This makes me feel better about the fact that my family and I have picked Vermont as our next location. Also they tried some sort of single-payer healthcare awhile back. Although it got canned, at least they tried.
Only been there a couple times, but both times it seemed quite nice. Been looking at available houses online, and might make the leap in the next year or two.

My brother is dying fromā¦ you guessed it, cancer. And I canāt go visit. I thought about loading up the car and driving out from Oregon to Ohio. Any other season I would with some expectation of being Covid-safe. But Iām not flying.

I am so sorry to hear that. Mineās a Hodgkinās survivor. But he has no spleen. I worry about him going to AA meetings, though - or anywhere else, no matter how many precautions he takes.

Our Emergency Minister Bill Blair, around October 7, decreed foreign visitors were allowed in to visit dying immediate relatives. Theyād still have to quarantine for two weeks. I wonder if my in-laws would have come up had pneumonia not taken their boy two days later, whose birthday is today.
Maybe itās not such a bad thing that I canāt visit a liquor store today.

Itās his parents I feel for. His motherās birthday is October 8, he died October 9.
Not only is tomorrow US Thanksgiving, itās his fatherās birthday.
Incidentally, my mother died the day before my brotherās birthday.
Iāve asked friends elsewhere for novelties and braintickling amusements, the companionship and succor of others will help me through this day as they have the last 46, including lots of love from an internet stranger to us.

The American version of ANYthing is like that!
Although I think the Spanish have a historical record worse than ours when it comes to Roman Catholicism.
