You are too funny! I just subscribed this week and this is my first read. Gosh, I totally understand your irritation, frustration, hunger, bewilderment at the ridiculous state of humanity, and on top of all that impatient and demanding customers, but I liked reading about all that. You brought it to us with just the right amount of drollery and crankiness with a good deal of imagery thrown in. I always like reading your comments over on Don Surber's Substack, too, or is it C&C? Both?
Oh, and over-hyping weather is certainly one of my pet peeves, too. I swear I'll die in a tornado just because I've been conditioned not to believe any of the weather hysterics.
Thank you! :) I appreciate your kind words. I am on C&C comments, but have never been on Don Surber's. I will have to check him out!
I hear you on the tornado! I will likely die because I want to see the thing and take pictures of it. Hey, I'm going to die anyhow (we all are) so why not have some fun?? 🤣🤣
Excellent philosophy. I agree. Now, for a different take, Bryan Johnson is working on the "Don't Die" concept. Just watched the debate on YouTube between him and Tucker Carlson https://youtu.be/gr4E0jEjQMM?si=Wg6bnHhV3oeq129- It was interesting. I think you would find it so as well. I don't want to live forever, or even that much longer - I just turned 76 and barring unforeseen tragedy like accident, chronic and lingering illness, or major mental incapacity, I think I have maybe another reasonably healthy and productive 15-18 years. After that, well, I hope my departure will be a quick one.
Pathologizing normal. The stuff about the weather, it's been getting like that for years. I remember listening to terrestrial radio and all the sound effects and how serious it sounded to have a "storm watch." Here in Georgia, a storm watch is not a huge thing. Yes, there are severe thunderstorms, yes you shouldn't drive out to a golf course with a golf club and run in a circle. There are tornado watches. That's fine too. Just don't jump in a pickup truck and pretend you're Bill Paxton.
And in so many ways, this is "public health." It is fomenting fear and panic and then validating their jobs as everyone freaks out about things like storms, sore throats, and sun burns. Now, I should not be out in the sun without proper hydration and sunblock, and that should be part of our owner's manual for growing older, but come on!
Good luck Erin and God bless you. I am grateful for people like you who show up to work every day despite the madness. In a sick way, I love reading about all of it. 🤣
The viagra guy. My mind went to some very dark places. 😢
It's ok, I have to laugh too. 🤣 I can't get specific, but the Viagra guy has some other interesting characteristics, too. He's a handful sometimes.
Arnica Montana may be available at any health food store, but also online at places like Amazon, iHerb, Swanson, etc. It's one of the few homeopathic remedies that has gone mainstream. They even make arnica creams, lotions, etc. I prefer the pills. Some people say homeopathy is pure b.s. but it works for me and that's all I care about. "Arsenicum album" stops my runny poo every time. (Take the last 2 letters off "Arsenicum". Yep, it's exceptionally diluted arsenic.) Acotonium helps to stop my panic. Aconite is very toxic, but it incredibly, exceptionally small doses, it apparently is supposed to help people. It helped me, anyhow.

I hear you. I'll take quality over quantity when it comes to life, that is for sure. I will definitely check this out - thank you!!

wolf's bane. have to look into that.
Interesting x marks the spot on coffee & covid today. Plus the other emergencies for the eclipse.
I hope you get clear skies.
Holly cow. I'll have to read that in two parts. Cheers.
I'll add that I watch Ryan Hall Y'all often whenever there is a tornado outbreak. No doubt this social media is fueling more fear.

Where can I buy the arnica Montana?

Anyhow, I like Boiron: https://www.iherb.com/pr/boiron-arnica-montana-30c-3-tubes-approx-80-pellets-each/58095 It saved my butt after I was hit by a car in 2007. I carry Arnica with me everywhere now. In my experience only, when homeopathy works, it really works. Sometimes it does not work. When it doesn't, it doesn't cause a problem.
Thank you for this!
