Not to meander, but I read an article that said--for example--if you were looking at purchasing a specific model of car to NOT ask any current owners about their experience because people do not like admitting their mistakes. They "lie" by accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative. You will not get anything worthwhile from the conversation.
A health member on a group I'm a longtime member, just posted this... Wonder if a member here is still doing the jabs???? Believe it or not, I know someone who was vaxxxxxed and became severely ill and now has to see a doctor routinely just to stay alive and is scheduled for prostate surgery. He is so hard headed that he keeps taking the vaxxxx, even though it is making him sicker and sicker. Nobody can tell him anything; he won't listen. He STILL believes the vaxxxx is good and is going to save him.
His doctor can't convince him? I did get an initial shot and a booster. My wife got a reaction immediately, an allergy. I've had flu like symptoms twice after taking the covid shots. I won't take it again. I will continue taking the flu shot, last year I didn't take it seams every time I wanted to get it I had a cold. Everybody's different It's hard to tell how we will react to anything we put in our body, or it's long term effects.
Take Vit C regularly and a antioxidant like Grape Seed Ex and you won't get colds, I have not had one in over 40 yrs... Get smart, be smart, take control of your health.
Speaking of health and wellness and taking care of your own, I just did a self osteoporosis exam. My people door was frozen shut on my pole building. I tried kicking it a few times but the cat kept getting in the way to get in. Anger works for me so I rammed the door with my shoulder (on one leg) and fell in as the door opened. Not wanting to hurt the cat or the door knob, I had let go. So there I was, on the dirt floor laying on my good leg. Nothing hurt which surprised the heck out of me. So I siddled up to the generator figuring it had some weight to it and pulled myself up. Everyone was mad at me for holding up breakfast. My beautiful new suede gloves were all muddy, as well as my pants I wonder if waxing the frame would help or would it make it easier for the wind to blow it open, which would be bad if I am not there.
Do you not have some kind of hasp or something that you could use to keep the door closed? For car doors, I use silicone spray or paste rubbed around the weather stripping to keep them from freezing shut. Would that work for your doors? I am very glad you apparently passed the osteoporosis test @Mary Stetler . We would hate to have you laid up or worse.
