Poor John Mack, nearly lost his chair at Harvard, for believing it.<br /><br />I see a lot of tall Chinese girls here in Glasgow, maybe they are the Hybrids.<br />Funny thing, you never see them in pubs, they live apart in flats, just down the road from me. There are cafes catering for Chinese students.<br /><br />I liked the TV series *Taken* (DVD) produced by Spielberg because there were so many images from children's storybooks, with the Aliens pretending to be furry talking animals. ETs are our version of the Faerie, a world beloved by George MacDonald, who abandoned his Calvinist ministry for New Age.<br /><br />Jackie Gleason said JFK rang him up and asked if he wanted to see the crashed spaceship in the desert. Jackie was a joker, and a heavy-duty drinker.<br />Hameldaemepal@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231016503726428849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-58226736993601197572020-10-26T11:30:53.976+00:002020-10-26T11:30:53.976+00:00It is still the same, Andrew.

To replace my Canon printer (cum scanner), cartridges included, is cheaper than buying the cartridges. On top of which, and otherwise I'd not even consider replacing a perfectly good piece of hardware, I have been reliably informed that unless your printer is, more or less, in constant use the ink outlets will dry up, not letting fresh through.Holy what's it. <br /><br />Reminds me of the obsolescence. A concept my father explained to me before I had ever bought a pair of tights or stockings. Apparently, the technology is there to make the "silks" bullet proof, lasting a life time. Instead of which those garments are being put into die "Zerreissmaschine". Yes, it's as painful (for your purse) as it sounds. So before the end product is packaged they make sure there is a fault lurking somewhere. Leading to a ladder. Even without your sharp fingernails doing accidental damage.<br /><br />I walked barefoot for a long time.<br /><br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-41839630155960298262020-10-26T10:17:44.203+00:002020-10-26T10:17:44.203+00:00Good to know that you both tested negative YP.

Maybe Shirley got it and had antibodies for a while, and then they dissipated. Just a guess!

A program such as you described does not provide any physical threat to you only an occasional blood test. It is possible that a person may have only temporary antibodies. That is another important thing they need to learn. If you make a little money off the deal then all the better for you and Shirley!<br /><br />Don't even get me started on printer cartridges! If you are willing to void the warranty and get an off label brand you can buy a large assortment of cartridges from Amazon that will last much longer than just one set from Canon and cost a little less at the same time. <br /><br />Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738727252267659979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-81182782792423723362020-10-25T17:40:48.920+00:002020-10-25T17:40:48.920+00:00I have found over the years that it is more advant...I have found over the years that it is more advantageous to buy a new printer than to pay for new supplies for the old one!! Which disgusts me no end! Think of the waste, think of the landfills full of discarded printers. Places don't even want to fix your car anymore, just replace the part ... <br /><br />They are saying, Mr. Pudding, that some people keep antibodies for a long time and others just a short time. I have a friend who has battled cancer a couple of times and who also contracted Covid. She managed to recover quickly and without trauma to her system. She has rich, great antibodies and has been donating them at least once a month for six months now. One never knows with this virus. Please stay cautious and safe and healthy.
