Throwback Thursday – #tbt – No Covid, No Covid! (January 2022, March 2021)

The good old days when I could mock Covid by making a giant “C” out of our family’s negative tests back in January of this year… …and even earlier in March 2021 which is when Shea was first able to get Covid rapid tests through her work to be used for herself and her family […]

After Two and a Half Years, The Big “C” Got Me! :-(

Shea was deadly ill (said it was sickest she ever felt) a couple weeks ago but never tested positive for Covid. So, when I got sick, I thought I had this… But tested today and it turns out that both Shea and I have this…   Fuuuuuuuuuck! Such a weird mix of emotions to finally […]

Covid Tweets Roundup

[Caveat: I post tweets that catch my eye but am not asserting that the claims they make are factual or not.  You should probably be skeptical of everything you read on the Internet, check who it is posting (a named doctor or an anonymous account), etc.] Pointing out a contraction of anti-mask “logic”… This year […]

Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]

Secular Sunday – Some Funny Examples of Purity Culture

What’s your funniest purity culture story? Mine’s when my parents secretly installed Covenant Eyes on our computer. A week later, they confronted me about my “p*rn addiction.” I swore I wasn’t, so they showed me my “explicit searches.” It had one entry: “the barenaked ladies” — Zach W.

Agribition Supervision

With my criminal record check approved, I was off to be a parent chaperone for Sasha’s class visit to Agribition today. (Good thing it was approved as I had a few moments of “Oh-oh – that’ll get you on a list!” during the day – from accidentally leaving the house with my fly down to […]

Saturday Snap – Tumbleweeds in the Tylenol Aisle

Good thing the pandemic’s over or else I’d worry about this shortage of children’s medicine! (Funny story – we’re out of kids’ meds at home too and Sasha’s been sick a lot lately so Shea asked the pharmacist and managed to snag a mini-bottle of kids’ Tylenol.  Then we got home and didn’t see it […]
