Re: Hey Friends

My zip code has @28K people and has had a total of 328 positive tests. Me, I am virtually quarantining. At my age (73) getting COVID-19 is like playing Russian Roulette with a six shooter. Odds of dying are around 1 in 6.

One thing I have discovered while all this is going on; my temperature is always sub normal. I know this happens as we age, but I haven't even hit 98 degrees once in a month. 96.5ish is the new normal. Going to get this checked out if I can ever [more]

Re: Hey! Market Statistics Guys and Gals!

Hi

Naj has been all over me because I failed to inform you all that I HAD A DENTIST APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY.
