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?

Bingo!

We went to work with broken hands, broken feet, pounding heads or sick stomachs.

I remember getting up at night to find Gran still busy mending some piece of clothing or other. We had patches on our clothes, sure, but I never realized where they came from until then. It was just something she did.

Our pantry stayed full & we always had enough to share with others in need.

We ran on INTESTINAL FORTITUDE.

We volunteered to help others get crops in, raise a barn, kill chickens, or have a canning bee. Why? Because we loved our neighbors & enjoyed helping them.

We didn't do it for ourselves; we were part of a family that needed us.

We did that OUT OF LOVE.

I miss the peace & quiet of Uruguay & the warmth of Mexico.

But once the fight was on, I had to come back.

And once the fight is over, I plan to force hubs to retire & find us a nice place on a river/lake further inland, with about a section of land.

I'd love to help veterans & get help growing organic veggies & raising dairy goats, Jersey cows, & KuneKune pigs.

I want to teach canning & preserving & other old-time crafts.

People should know how to grow their own TP, I reckcon & quit wiping their butts on the lungs of the planet.

BEST thing hubs & I ever did was take 5 years off & spend that time in Uruguay off the grid. It was the first time in his life he ever had time to think.

THAT's the kind of break that changes folks.

Which is why I also want to have 3 or 4 rental cabins, so the vets can earn some income & not just a place to stay... full circle, you see?

On top of that, a country store to sell our products. It will work.
