It may not seem like it from here, but progress is indeed being made on the not-keeling-over-stone-dead front, or so I am assured by the small army of medical personnel burdened with the task of fixing my broke-down ass. In fact, some of them are so enthusiastic about my prospects as to appear almost ready to burst into song and/or go capering about in a Happy Dance over this whole thing, well over and above the usual sunny optimism a decent Bedside Manner requires.
I now have less than thirty (30) days trapped in the rehab center, while I complete a final round of IV antibiotics they tell me I simply must have. After that, I’m a free man once more, for the first time since…
uhhh…
Dec 14th?!? No, srsly? That CAN’T be right. Can it? Ah well, my thanks to all you miscreants once more anyhoo for your attendance, and another special mention for BCE, whose unwavering support and encouragement provides the pluperfect example of what the word “brother” really means.
Back soon. Mean it.
I am very glad to see your spirits have improved.
You had a shit load of people very worried.
I’m also looking forward to seeing your take on current events.
Keep getting better man, I’m rooting for you.

Excellent news! Your voice is missed.
Huzzah!
Dec 14th
It seems like forever. I’ve seen it on several occasions now. Older age sometimes makes a mockery of life.
Glad your in decent spirits. That is the #1 prescription for recovery.
Good to have you checking in, and glad to hear things are on an up trend. Best of luck with the remaining rehab and the medical jiggery-pokery — I’ve been there, and while it seems to last forever you will get through it.
Well, now you jinxed it.
We ALL are proud of you! Can’t wait to hear your stories!
Hey that’s great!!
Don’t worry about it. It’s not like anything important in the rest of the World has happened since Dec 14. 😉
Btw anyone know when the Ukraine Invasion is scheduled to begin for tomorrow? I want to clear my schedule and catch the opening salvos on TV. The Revolution is going to be televised.
Didn’t you get the memo (a.k.a. the media spin)? Putin was just SO intimidated by Joe Biden’s incredible strength and toughness that he backed off the invasion. Wouldn’t want to get the Corn Pop treatment, after all.
*snort* Sorry, couldn’t keep a straight face any longer. The DNC-media actually is attempting to push that spin, right out in the open. The blatantly obvious attempt to construct a ‘heads we win, tails you lose’ narrative is actually kind of impressive in how shameless it is. Whatever else you think of them, the DNC-media is not lacking for chutzpah.
I think they enjoy pushing shit we know is false, and that they know we know is false.
Really, lead poisoning is far too good for these people. I am not opposed to torture.
There is definitely something wrong with these people’s brains, at a fundamental level. As various people wrote about Bill and Hillary Clinton (and it applies to seemingly every democrat these days), they lie even when it is not necessary, when the truth would serve better. It is a compulsion; they enjoy lying.
That describes my ex-wife. Possibly related, she never would (and still never does) take responsibility for anything. Very difficult to deal with.
“When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse, when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control.”

We can start with waterboarding. 😁
OK, but that lasts for 30 minutes, then we go direct to skinning and salt. For the men, that starts below the belt….
I’ve been wondering aloud for about 10 days now whether this is a Reverse Wag the Dog.
The only evidence we have that Putin wants to invade Ukraine is coming from the Joetato Dolts and their Deep State “Intelligence” Agencies.
