Random Monday Thoughts

A dear friend texts me Saturday to let me know that Oreo's has made a gluten-free version. 

She text, "I know pizzelles are your absolute favorite cookies but I also know how much you love Oreos as a very close 2nd favorite so I had to share that they now have a GFree version. Just thinkin' about you Margaret.😋"

It made me laugh. I love that my cousin texts to tell me, my husband took a picture from the grocery store to tell me, and then my friend texts me. 

Gee, do you think I have an Oreo problem?  

Rick said he'd bring some home and I begged him not to. I can't remember exactly how long I've been Gfree, I think it's been 12 yrs or more. So it's been a long time since I have had an oreo.

I can't even eat food I can chew yet so I don't want them here calling out to me. 

And they will call out to me.

"Peggy, I'm in the pantry, take me out, indulge me!"  Nope, they won't be quiet so I don't want them in the house! But when I can have food...look out!

We have a snow day today because we are getting sleet and rain at 5pm. Virtual snow day. What wimps live here.

I would have loved it as a kid since in 12 yrs of school and over 100 inches of snow a year I only had 1 snow day in my life until I moved here.

We had a woman cancel an appointment for Thursday. This is what she wrote to me, "we have to cancel because my kid GOT COVID!!!!!!!"

I followed up with a call to confirm I received her weekend email. Her kid is little so this shit is scary. 

And they want them to go to school. How crazy is that?

I watched a Tiger Woods documentary. Wow, that guy was/is a hot mess. His father to me, in my opinion only, was a real piece of shit! He didn't give this kid a chance to be a child. He was grooming him from infancy to be this golfer. Then there are the bimbos. The biggest one being Uchitel. OMG, this woman is a piece of work. She thinks she had been depicted as a cheater. She denies that. She says I knew he was married but I'm not a cheater. Hmm....then what is your definition? She also is hideous looking. I do not understand why men like this fake plastic face. What face Rick would say? They aren't looking at her face. Ugh.

There is no denying his ability to golf or be "in the zone" but sometimes I wonder if he had just been able to be a kid and allow golfing to just flow naturally would he have done as well? 

I know my ex was groomed by his father and it fucked him up. I never liked his father and still don't. I tolerate him. I adore his mother as you know and she saw the pressure that was put on my ex. I recall when he was dropped by Cleveland and not picked up anywhere. Instead of working with him, encouraging him without blowing smoke up his but, he berated him. It was awful. It was generally me who had to pick up those pieces and try to heal his wounds. I don't think he ever got over some of that. I would like to think I would never do that to a child but we will never know. I always felt it was his father's dream more than his. But damn he was pretty good.

Rick was contacted about his vaccine. It has been delayed due to shortages. They expect to ramp back up in 2 weeks. I hope so. Cause after him it's my turn. I know this won't stop anything we do daily. Still must wear a mask. But it will make me a bit less stressed. 

To all the dummies that won't get it - one person just told me it's like the flu vaccine, you can get the flu. OMG stop listening to people who don't know such as the GOP or fox news. Dr. Agus stated that the nasal flu shot has a live attenuated (reduced) vaccine. Meaning it is made from live, but weakened so you can't get the flu from that either. Regular flu shots do not have a live virus nor do covid's. 

Covid Vaccine does not have a live virus. I just shake my head at these people. And I have "these" people in my immediate family. Fine as Dr. Agus says, go to the end of the line and let the rest of us get ours. He was on for 1.5 hrs or more and he addressed all the lies on the internet and fox news and out of trumps cult followers.

I wish I had the full interview here. He was very interesting. 

At one point they were talking about disease and why elephants don't get cancer and why that is.  Cool and smart man. I don't normally find these types of interviews interesting.
