I would say that you are blessed...but instead, I will say that it sounds like you have figured out how to find and maintain what and who are important to you.
That's not an easy feat. Good on ya!

Finally a funny SNL episode.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Anti-vaxxers don't believe in the cause of death from anything other than vaccines.

I'd like to file a complaint with whoever is in charge of this sort of thing. Woke up with a raging headache. Back in the day I probably would have assumed it was from having too much fun last night. Then I remembered that I am old, and the headache is most likely due to the pneumonia vaccine I got yesterday. BLAH!

I called to make an appt. for the end of the month with my cardiologist. I was scolded by the woman at his office for cancelling my appt. back in May. I was informed that if I cancel again, I will be removed from his patient list. Now, every day since, I get a text offering an earlier appointment. I sure hope these people who are cancelling are also getting a good dressing down.
