But Puerto Rico would be a good location to get that bacon looking crispier

LOL!

Have no taste for his music, but I'd potentially go cannibal and eat his skin.... Joking of course. I'll stick to pigs and other meat products that aren't human. Not Rod Stewart. He should make a bacon product though. It would sell. Just put his face on the package. I'm not joking about that. Women (for some reason) would eat it and men would be like "that looks like it could be crispy." Then move to PR and pay little taxes and get crispy. Win win in my world.

Sorry, late night last night. Not hung over, just out of it so my humor/sarcasm might miss today... like it does every day.

Ah, Ellie Mae Clampett. Who wouldn't want to win one of those church fund raiser picnic basket dates with her?

Donna Douglas didn't age that well, and I think it's because she was typecast, and also tried to remain looking young all her life with plastic surgery.

HELLUVA nice guy by the way.

"A second source said Stewart, who has eight children by five women, has the full support of all his kids, daughters Sarah Streeter, 59, Kimberly, 43, Ruby, 35, and Renee, 30, and sons Sean, 42, Liam, 28, Alastair and Aiden.

“They all know how happy him and Penny are living there and that is all they want is for their father to be happy,” the source said."

That's code for 'When is this fucking fuck going to fucking DIE ALREADY so we can divvy up his pile? Let's not do anything to upset him and get cut out of the will."

I remember when Stewart was showing up in Westwood with groupies in tow in fancy sports cars and getting repeated drunk and disorderly and dui. Guess he might have sobered up somewhere along the line.

Great - we have a poster from Tennessee - the only state in the union where Ivermectin is an over the counter medication!
Porkchop, tell us about Ivermectin... Is it available in grocery stores? How much does it cost?

I ask because these kind of searches on the Internet are blocked.

Funny you ask. I called my local CVS pharmacy and the guy said Ivermectin is not approved for Covid and said I should be getting vaccinated. CVS is not supplying it for Covid. I called my local Walgreens and the guy said they can't supply it for Covid but that he agrees they should. I realized that each pharmacy decides if they choose to prescribe it. I found a local (non-chain) pharmacy (Medicine Counter Pharmacy) that supplies it and ordered some and now have it. Not cheap but definitely worth having it on hand. I believe anyone can order from them, even outside TN.

If it's more than $1 a pill, you can order from alldaychemist. They're based in India. I thought $1 a pill is on the high side, but they're reliable (haven't had an FDA intercept yet - knock on wood). Food for thought.

Rin is not incorrect, so let me start with that with his cocktail of pills. They probably work.

1 - Live healthy and move. Don't be fat.
2 - Standard vitamins and zinc will do you just fine when you get a cold (covid).
3 - Don't take the vax.

Had it once and it was a massive nothing burger outside of having to fly back home from Mexico. Travel days I feel like shit either way so I'm not sure how much was the effects of Covid. Or the idea I knew I had it and it created anxiety. Mind you this was an adult trip so drank too much over 5 days. That could be a mitigating factor.

Rin's stuff probably works great. But if you're under 70 and follow my 3, you'll be fine, in my non-medical opinion.

WookieMan says

"Had it [Covid] once and it was a massive nothing burger outside of having to fly back home from Mexico."

Text in brackets is mine...

Wookie, if you had Covid in Mexico did you look into purchasing Ivermectin and HCQ from Mexico? They are, to my knowledge, over the counter medications... And if you did, how much was it?

Earlier I wrote..."we have a poster from Tennessee...

Porkchop, it sounds to me that that was Big Pharma's reply from Tennessee - which is not surprising!

Thank you.
I found the "Medicine Counter Pharmacy" on the internet -- see https://medicine-counter01.business.site/ -- and found the Ivermectin price too high -- $35 for 5 day treatment. See https://form.jotform.com/221387018183152 And I agree with you "it is "definitely worth having it on hand."

Did you try any grocery stores? Given that Ivermectin is an Over The Counter Medication in Tennessee then people should be able to buy Ivermectin like they buy Aspirin. Is that the case?

I didn't look to be honest. Pretty sure I had it before and it was nothing. I tested when I got home. Wife tested the day prior. Nurse friend with us had them. She said don't waste a test if you slept in the same bed, you have it. She was right. Tested positive at home the next day and following.

Bought a blanket because I was freezing, but it resolved itself by the next afternoon/evening. Basic bad cold/minor flu symptoms. Again it was for the wife's 40th so we were imbibing more than usual. But I did test positive twice. For what that's worth....

Not saying Ivermectin won't/doesn't work, I just don't think it's needed really. Unless you have other issues health wise. Basic vitamins and zinc did me well. I was expecting worse. It was a sinus infection with chills for me.

California State Senator Scott Wilk advised residents who “love their children” to “flee” the state, citing a new bill that would classify refusal to “affirm” a child’s gender as child abuse. Parents could potentially lose custody of their children if they refuse to support their child’s decision to “transition” to another gender.

And this is why you get elected. Try to make change or leave and call them out on the way out. Bitching online or at meetings generally does nothing. Just leave. And make it a shit show on the way out. This guy is the instruction book of what I'm talking about.

No Senator. We, The People of The United States, will stay and fight this because California is a Conservative state - the state of Ronald Reagan.

Senator, the Deplorable response to this is Molon Labe.

Ronald Reagan was an Illinoian. He was a transplant to CA. I know his childhood stomping grounds well in Dixon, IL. I spent many summers going out there until the late 2000's. Still go out there occasionally for family.

Yes, much of his life was spent in CA. Weather is nice out there, but most people moved there for work and opportunity in certain fields. Those days are dying. So are the CA cities. Chicago is dying, so I'm not trying to be hypocritical. I would leave the state of CA though. I really don't think there's hope. Look at your senators and house reps. How the fuck did that happen? At least every other person in your area voted for this shit. Now it drags down the entire country because of CA's percentage of representation.

There're pockets of decent living in California.

After 2 weeks of Maine weather, I am ready to go home.

Whenever I go to the gas station mini mart at the corner, there are these young guys at the counter. They are pallid, either overweight or underweight, bad complexions, some look like harem castratos with long hair, surly in attitude, dispensing from the shelves full of vapes, tobacco, booze and lottery tickets. They should be at the most vibrant and healthy period of their lives, and they look like wiped out stoner dregs.

Looks like you might've found it but here's the direct link to the pricing sheet. It's definitely expensive but I wanted legit, US-pharmacy-grade Ivermectin on hand just in case.

I have a lot of IVM from AllDayChemist already. I just wanted to have the US stuff to diversify.

I don't believe it's in grocery stores on the shelves. The law in TN is that you still have to get it from a pharmacy but that a prescription is no longer required.

If you're currently in Illinois and aren't at least planning your eventual escape, you're worse at planning for things than Jussie Smollett.

I am irritated about something Cali related everyday. Today it is my homeowners insurance just got canceled. My company, Foremost whoever the hell they are, are the latest to pull out of CA entirely. My agent is putting together a Fair Plan quote which will likely double my rate for an even shittier plan. She had some interesting info about the incompetence of the Gay-Hispanic-Affirmative-Action Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara. It is a very political elected position and according to her he has ZERO qualifications.

"Born in Commerce, California,[3] Lara is the son of a formerly undocumented factory worker and seamstress from Mexico.[4] Lara attended Los Angeles Unified School District schools and graduated from San Diego State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and served as student body president.[5][6] He is currently pursuing a master's degree from the University of Southern California. In 2013, Lara completed Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government program for Senior Executives in State and Local Government as a David Bohnett LGBTQ Victory Institute Leadership Fellow.”

In the name of ‘protecting the consumer’ the 'student body president' won’t let the insurance companies raise their rates to price in the rising risks from fire, so the companies just leave. Then the State steps in to save us with some hinky Fair Plan bullshit….that raises your rates.
These people are driving California into the ditch.

Robert Sproul says

They can't raise rates for the mass destruction of neighborhoods and forest fires from human controlled DEW weapons or weather/earthquake catastrophes caused by HAARP. California is targeted, so if the investing oligarchs informed their insurance entities, they would pull out.

Wall Street Firms Move $2 Trillion Out of N.Y., Calif.

Repelled by rampant crime, high taxes and exorbitant housing costs, financial firms managing $2 trillion in assets have left New York and California for Texas, Florida and other Sun Belt states where the cost of living is as much as 40% cheaper, Bloomberg reports.

@Onvacation Why, too humid? Looks pretty nice:

California and New York have lost almost $1 billion in tax revenue because of the departure of the evil rich they so despise.

New York is totally fucked; my older brother lives in relatively peaceful Staten Island and I always ask him why he doesn't get the fuck out of there.

1. His wife objects; she grew up in the concrete jungle of Manhattan and can't leave her gavoon relatives behind in Brooklyn.
2. He still likes making money although he should have retired years ago.

These are outweighing his obvious desire to relocate to Florida; he has a nice little boat but can't really enjoy boating around NYC with it that much.
He would be fine moving down and getting into boating, diving, weekend trips to the Bahamas; guys take small boats to the Bahamas for the weekend from Florida.

So, there you have it; greed and fear of his spouse keeps my brother in New York.
Edit: fear also got him married in the first place come to think of it. Fear of no pussy makes men do foolish things.

I think that's keeping a lot of people in places like NY, CA, and IL.

I would think that Staten Island would be a pretty good place to own a boat. I know people around here that boat year round.

It has been suggested that the rebuilding of the Republic will not include the feral cities. They may or may not be rejoined later, but the heartland as we know is Republic Land, not KommieKunt Land.

Mexicans are good people. They are generally more American than Americans. My general impression of them is they are very strong on family, they tend to be more religious, and they are honest workers and they don't fall for that victim mentality bullshit.
