Good comments, plus a funny good one. My only chance of a French kiss is from our dog when I'm not paying attention. That's also risky health wise due to their mouth's bacteria.

I like both clean and dirty jokes. Laughing or chuckling is enjoyable for a while, and a good joke, that is not harmful, can be revived from time to time.

One I just thought of is:

Good sex for an older person is always close at hand. Another one I thought of long ago:

I still have my first toy.

I'm sure I'm not the first to think of these.

Time will tell if there is any long term harm from the vaccines. Personally I think the majority of us will not have any. It's unfortunate that heart and other issues seems to be occurring in a tiny percentage.

I don't understand the hesitation of getting vaccinated. Most of us have had routine vaccinations all of our life. Smallpox, tetanus, whooping cough, chickenpox, measles, polio, mumps, flu, and for the older generation, shingles. We should all be thankful they've been available.

I see the vaccine as being shot with a 22 short compared to a 50 caliber or a shotgun. Sure it hurts for a while and a few do have complications that are mostly treatable, but that is nothing compared to what might happen with a covid infection if one is not vaccinated. Close to 1,000,000 have died. Many, many, millions of years of life has been lost for the ones that have died. The vaccine is life insurance that benefits the person not just their family.

The unvaccinated adults should ask themselves and also ask their family what would be lost if they died of covid.
The chance of long covid also seems to be significantly higher in the unvaccinated plus ones with previous health issues.

Two recent news articles discuss what causes long covid:

I'll keep researching nasal rinses and nebulizers with a bit of iodine and peroxide. Seems it might reduce mucous related virus buildup and subsequent inflammation.

I'm also a believer in good gut bacteria due to previous radiation and surgery. I now purposely eat things to help replenish them.

Long ago the chinese would use ' yellow tea ', poop mixed with water to help treat gut problems. The British army supposedly started treating gut problems with camel poop after suffering from what seemed to be untreatable gut problems. They observed the camel owners from time to time eating camel poop and asked why. After my last colonoscopy I asked the doctor if a poop transplant was available. He thought I was nuts, apparently he's not well informed.
