I got tested last Saturday. Negative, I'm as healthy as Ax, even healthier if you ask me. Double-nasty and tough as nails I am.
And I know like lots of black people too. More than anybody. And I mean like "real" black people, not fake ones.
No covid for me. Lucky so far. I was hospitalized last Saturday, so they ran the test as a matter of course to make sure. Haven't been that sick like, ever. Was taken in by ambulance, and a hook 'n ladder truck also showed up to beat me against walls while dragging me out the front door. Got home today.
But, no covid. That's good.Holy cow, Rainman! What made you so sick? How are you doing now?
Really, you need to jump into 2021. I think you're on some sort of time continuum or time warp that has sucked you back into 2020.
We lost power for a week during the ice storm. I looked at the pizza in the refrig, and added some mayonaise to it. Looked OK to me, but with a kind of funny glossy brown. Note to self: NEVER eat pizza out of a refrig that has been without power for a week.
I pride myself on being dumb. Might as well be proud of being an idiot, as I certainly should have known better.@rainman said in One year ago today.:

Serves you right for putting mayonnaise on pizza. Geez. You're worse than Mik.
Okay, maybe not worse, but up there.
Kidding, you know. I'm glad that misery is in your rearview. Agree with Brenda -- get outta that time warp! It is doing a serious goof on you.

Hubby and I got it from my mother's potato salad. After her party she was so proud of serving potato salad that she had taken to another July outdoor event a week or more earlier. Of course, she told no one of this at the time she served it to us.
Hubby and I were sick for three weeks.Yeah, don't trust food that hasn't been stored properly, even if your mom serves it to you. and if it has mayo in it, ask when it was made, even if your mom made it.

It is not that President Trump was wrong, he was actually physic! He was predicting one year in the future!! Give him credit for that!!
-
I'm never eating mayo again, ever.
Just the thought of it makes me almost gag.
Creamy, white, with just a touch of brownish slime.
S'cuse me, gotta go, g...g...gag.@rainman Wow!!!!!!
Glad that you are feeling better! Definitely no fun to be sick.

Thanks TG!!
And, as Jon and Ax have pointed out, Trump was the greatest president ever, and now I think you are coming around as well!

I hope you are able to convince Larry to come back! Maybe we should all send him a message, or maybe we could get Biden to send him an email about Trump. Something like that, I may be a bit mixed-up, but something should work to get our friend Larry to chime back in at TNCR. He is missed, right TG?

Some miss him as much as David Burton.

Yeah, he’s toast next election. I was thinking about this. The upcoming local and state elections are going to be a bloodbath. Even/Especially at the school board level.

He's term-limited. He can't run again.
-
He's term limited out anyway.
You know who's leading the race for his replacement?
Andrew Yang!
Only non-witches get due process.
- Cotton Mather, Salem Massachusetts, 1692
-
I don't know what De Blasio will do next. It's not inconceivable to see him in a urban-related administration role at some point, maybe when enough time passes for replacements to happen, or under a Harris admin. I could see him doing HUD at some point. But I'm not sure what new elective offices he could realistically aspire to at this point.

I'd just flown back from the UK on the 2nd, and I was pretty sure what was coming, although I'd totally underestimated how long it would last. I'd spent a week going on slightly paranoid visits to see my mum in hospital, and you could see it ramping up over there - I think they were maybe a week ahead of the US. I felt like I just flew back in the nick of time.
