Yep! And my Brother does also. But think of something you have no amount of want to do. Then ask yourself if that would change ifin ya could do it with a big discount. Even it I could do it for the cost of eating out I would still rather use the money to eat out. If I won a free Cruise I would try to fine a way to sell it or let a family member go instead. Just not my thing is all. Fer all you folks who enjoy it and want to do it I am not telling you not to. I guess folks think every one wants to do the things they do but not everyone does.

I get it Jack, I get offers to go to local College football games all of the time, and there are lots of people who would love to go, but I have no desire to go, even once. Our bank give out some of the Hoity Toity tickets for box seats to employees, and I just try to pass off on them if they let me.

Speaking of Death, my sister may be knocking on death's door. She researched and researched the Covid Vaccine, and had so many conflicting reports that she didn't get it. She has to be really careful about medications that she takes because she is deathly allergic to many medications. Well, time passed on and she didn't get her vaccine, then she and her husband got covid. They both got so bad that they went to the hospital. They hooked them both up to IV's and then sent her home, and sent him to ICU. His kidneys were a problem, and they were shutting down. She went home, but she can't breathe, she is getting worse, and really dehydrated. She basically hasn't slept for 48 hours, They finally released my BIL after a few days, but my sister either can't get in to see the doctor, or he isn't returning her calls. (its not clear) Her Oxygen is getting super low, and she is slowly becoming too tired to care, or do anything about it.

Thank you, she needs the prayers. Luckily she had a somewhat good day yesterday, but she had to take my BIL to the emergency room about midnight, then she texted that they sent him home at 3, after pumping him full of fluids. All emergency rooms were full so they gave him an IV in a broom closet. She had given us the impression that she was in worse shape than him, but he's been in the emergency room twice this week, and her only once. I'm not sure why she hasn't gone other times when the rest of us, including her nurse daughter said she should.

I hope they both get well soon. Yes the vaccine has some problems and a lot of folks who took them are getting it also. Some say now it does not stop you from getting it but it may reduce how bad it is if you get it. And I have blood clot issues and had some trouble after I took my first shot. IDK it all seems crazy. Folks out of work and businesses saying there is a worker shortage. Health care facilities firing nurses in the middle of all this going on. Things seem to have turned bat poop crazy.

Well, and update on my sister and BIL. they have had Covid now for 3 weeks, and as of the last part of last week, they were both ready to throw in the towel and let life go. Neither one could breath, my BIL's chest is black and blue from coughing constantly, and it hurts both of them to breath. Yesterday there must have been improvement, as they both went outside for a walk to the end of the street and back. It wore them both out, but they both agreed the little bit of exercise they got, made them feel a little better. My sister said its still touch and go. She seems to be in slightly elevated moods according to a few of her FB posts. I find that encouraging!

Yeah, I appreciate that. It was wearing on them both and stressing me out. They were both ready to quit, but luckily they kept on going. I haven't heard much recently about how they are doing, but no news is good news.
