Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
I was listening to Z and Marty talk about our overstock of vaccine doses versus the rest of the world, especially less developed nations.
My heartless self actually thought for a minute that I don't have a problem with that. Reflection changes opinion, obviously. At any rate, the unoriginal thought is this: My initial reaction to anything is that an American life is worth more to me than others. I don't know why, but I just think it is.
If you're from another country, do you feel the same way about your people? If you're from the US, do you ever have that feeling, however fleeting? It's OK. You can be honest. I just was.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
