I'm thankful the immediate family can be together for dinner.

We all had the Chinese flu starting first week of Oct. which we believe migrated here from a Jr Hi volleyball game. None of us had severe symptoms - it was more like a bad cold with coughing and a slight fever. The odd part was how it affected taste and smell.

Wifey couldn't taste or smell anything. I tried persuading her to try powdered ghost pepper - to loosen the sinuses more than anything, but no.

For me, sweets took on an entirely different and unpleasant flavor. Which didn't hurt anything really. By OTC remedies and the occasional shot of whisky, we all got over it just fine.

We're in our 70s. Wifey smokes, and I'm considerably overweight, but no real trouble with it. Which seems to indicate it isn't a done deal death sentence.

And since the immune system develops antibodies, we feel it's okay to be together for the day. I'd like to see more research on antibodies, but I get that developing vaccine is the A priority.

Here's hoping the rest of you are well and enjoying the day with family. SW

I hope you guys have safe holiday, and some good eating. :bigrin:

We are back under "lock-down" here with skyrocketing case #'s.
One of wife's cousins contracted the dreaded C-19 virus, and is in ICU on a ventilator.
Things are not looking real good for that cousin. She's in her early 70's and smokes.

The latest local public health order has limited home visiting to dwelling residents only.
That order is in place until Dec. 21, which won't leave a lot of room for getting ready for Christmas.
I'm really hoping things improve soon. Believe it or not, I'd like to find a job.
About 10-12 days left to the grouse season. I wouldn't mind bagging a few more.
I hope people don't start hoarding store turks. Been seriously considering a smoked hog shoulder for this year's Christmas meal....

Regards,

Doc Sharptail
