The common cold has officially made it to my town.

There's panic in the streets.

#Omicron#Plandemic

Oh, the HORROR!

I know, a case of the common cold has never been front page news until now.

🤣🤣🤣

I was raised working on a farm... Believe you me, NOTHING STOPPED because of a cold - NOTHING.

You had to be already dead & cold when gran found you if you were going to get out of chores...

Later in life, how many times did I show up & work my ass off - by employer's demand - until I was wrecked, because I didn't take care of myself...

Not many years til I started working for myself & setting my own rules.

This is the part of the movie where things get hysterically funny.

It's really a good thing that I don't go out much, beause I'd get myself in trouble for bitch-slapping some of these CovID10ts, for sure.

I'm tempted to put a sign in my back window:

HONK if you think Covid is a total SCAM!

I wonder how much trouble I could get into with that?

When I was a kid it was natural to go to school sick with a cold. Everybody did. Your immune system isn't strong when you're still in grade school. It gets stronger after each cold, that's just the way it works. Now they're shutting schools down because little Jimmy has a runny nose. These kids are going to grow up with weak immune systems if the nonsense goes on much longer.

I remember "chickenpox parties," where someone's brother would get chickenpox & we'd all be sent for a sleepover in summer to get it over with before school season...

We were 'poxed & had all manner of other shit...

Now they run for the medicine cabinet when they get a hangnail...

Everyone's so damned FRAGILE.

Whatever happened to the old "rub some dirt on it & walk it off" attitude?

People are much tougher than they allow themselves to believe.

Heck, I lived without shoes for the first 6 years of my life!

So true!

Now they're afraid to have jungle gyms in parks for fear the little darlings will hurt themselves.

We've raised up a bunch of brain-dead wastrels who bleed when touched.

I worry that we are the last of the Alpha Children.

When the grandkids come here, they have no WIFI, no TV, nada but nature. They can participate or not - their free choice. But they know if the make the wrong choice - being a pouty brat - they will not be invited back.

This grandma doesn't put up with the same bullshit the parents do.

Such a shame the parents were so old when I got to them, LOL.

Had they been teens, they might've been saved, LOL.

Dumbasses still taking kids to Disneyland.

Arial turned 7 the other day. She asked me if I knew what SEX was.

We went out back where Mama pig was in heat. Got all of her questions answered.

And good on you for that!

Some of the finest people I know are Arkies...

and I don't hold it against them one bit.

Only thing I don't like about Arkansas is the ticks.

Ugh!

Yepper.

We had most of those in East Texas, not so much in AZ.

I didn't mind the scorpions & snakes so much in the desert.

Rattlers are pretty polite & let you know when they're around.

One critter I don't mind missing is the Mosca de Vera. We had them in Texas - called them screwworm, but they don't attack people in Texas.

It's a big deal in Uruguay. A very big deal.
