Imho (...do I have any other options? *L*), we're all very tired of being sick and tired....of listening to an obvious fraud and blatant thief jabber the inane while boasting his superiority that doesn't exist... Of hearing of folks (more or less) like you or I being swept away by a virus content to kill the host while those that love them are forced to stay away for their own's sake and safety... Of having to mask like thieves for protection from those determined to play odds stacked against them for the sake of 'freedom' to infect strangers and loved ones alike... Watching while reading the eyes and motions of the daily strangers about one, looking for a clue as to how they feel about today, their life amidst this.... And knowing that this terrible reality plays out around the globe.... Tired is a mild way to state the descent into this blackness, a fog of creeping fear... I see this here, as well, between the lines, the retorts, the forced jovial...what started as a vent turned into just another grinder.... Fare us all well....and delete/block as you may.... |
You'd be surprised how many of the chronically angry are really just decent but sad people with alcoholism. Just a guess here. Paranoid people can come across similarly, though. At least one paranoiac here posted a bizarre fantasy misinterpretation of a pretty cool science article. Thanks for posting, though. I learned something NOT scary from it. |
CV19 is serious, people are getting sick, some of which will never recover completely. People are dying alone gasping for breath (ask me, I've seen it) The virus is mutating as is normal and these vaccines are just the start of many to come, more effective and longer lasting. There might not be an Axpona 2021 (I have no inside info) but like pandemics of the past this too shall pass, more quickly than previous ones because of our unbelievable technology which will only get better. If this was 1917-20 it would be 4-5 years before life became somewhat normal. 20,000,000-50,000,000 died. Some studies say up to 100,000,000 died worldwide. The vaccines do not alter your basic DNA nor are they a communist plot. The mRNA vaccines never enter the nucleus of the cell which is where our DNA is kept. It does not affect or interact with our DNA in any way. It has been studied for over a decade on other diseases. It instructs our cells to make a harmless piece of the the spike protein which displays it on it's surface. The initial protein (which only gives instructions and is not or ever been part of a live virus) is then broken down and destroyed. Our immune system recognizes that the protein doesn't belong there and begins building a immune response. To keep it simple that's the story. I have the first dose in my body and look forward to the second dose. Whenever Axpona resumes tell me the time and place for my free wine and I'll be there. Best to all, stay safe and healthy and be optimistic. We are and will win this battle Mark |
OK I got my Sars - Cov 19. First shot on the 14th. Yes I did fine. I got a little achy. I ate a good meal and took 600 mg Ibuprofen with two glasses of water every 6-8 hours.. I feel fine. Moderna / 011J20 (or ZO) A. Horrible penmanship. Second. I have never seen so many health care workers, that close together in my life. TALKING!!! Every protocol that was in place for social distancing was being violated by the health care workers. Where is the friggin BOSS. I was just watching MYSELF, I couldn't keep my distance safe BECAUSE.. 1000 pound clusters of "three" all over the place TALKING, with clip boards. While the NORMAL 20% did ALL the work, including herding the TONNAGE, out of the patience ways... 5 times I said "6 feet is 6 feet, MOVE, PLEASE" standing in door ways TALKING from one side to the other as patience walked by...????????????????????????????? YOUR tax dollar barely working... The actual people I worked with, AS usual were the professionals. I love efficient, hard workers, that make it look easy to just be there and make you feel safe and cared for... MY MOTHER.... Yup... Get it folks.. 28 day I get the second dose, THAT is the actual vaccine to offer pretty good immunity after another 10-15 days. 40-42 days total. NOW if I can keep from getting ran over, between now and then...:-) and remember, I'm still a carrier just by virtue of walking through it... I still loose the shoes on the wet porch, and remove my outer clothes. IN HAND to the dryer, and tossed for 15 on high. Clean my hands and the dryer handles. I been taking the dog twice a week to the islands (poor baby, in a cage). She Rats there for an hour or so. No contact with people. Were both getting some exercise. Hate rats, both kinds... Though good eatin' one kind any ways, gotta have a tail...NO long pig.... Regards.. Now Back To Mrs Patsy. Crazy...I like Linda Ronstadt's version too. |
I already had the COVID and yes I know I can get it again. Mask only prevent the spread and I wash my hands like crazy. Before you freak out I do wear a mask though it is not required in TX. Unless you are Austin (bad down there, El Paso, Houston and Dallas proper) I was sick for a week but i took a full month to be 70%. Still have back pain, neck pain and get rashes but that maybe my Simplex 2 flaring up (just kidding) I will get the shot once they get to letting us youngsters have it. |
mmm, taking in account the 'New Normal' and 'somewhat' as an exponent factor....and applied on a global scale.... There's no 'going back'....nothing but the shock waves that relentlessly push into the future. And, as before, the future will be what we make it to be. Although we're mostly just along for the ride. ;) Live it or live with it. What will be will be. Simple civility ought to be a nice start.... How long it will take will be how long it takes, since humans are hardly unified on much more than 'survival' in a general sense We're ok for 'long-range thinking', but really bad on the 'follow-through' part. If AXPONA is vaguely slated for August, I'm reasonably certain that y'all will be spared my attendance. The 'LLC' part of my existence has just been bonded on a project that will start in July and run into December. Lucky, I guess...for whom and/or why.... |
This, so far, has been the most entertaining thread I have read in five years of reading here. Bravo! posters, you have a thread of 4 pages (so far) and haven’t talked about audio once (unless you count the acronym AXPONA). MC has shown his true colors and needs to get laid. Hat ID doesn’t work. Covid-19 is bad. The communists are coming. The inoculations do/don’t work. And you’re all a bunch of drunks. :) I prefer the herb myself. |
"And you’re all a bunch of drunks. :)""All" is a little stretch here, to say the least. Not everyone expressed interest in alcoholic beverages. Some even mentioned they would not have them. "Hat ID doesn’t work." Nobody implied that, so far. I implied that Facial ID may not work on hats. Otherwise, check "Talk but not walk" thread from within last five years. It is way more diverse than this one. Kim Jong Un, Karl Marx (I think, but I may be wrong as he comes up every now and then in different threads), and many more make their appearance there. Talk but not walk? | Audiogon Discussion Forum |
@glupson I am sorry I offended you. You may not have noticed the little smiley face I left (I don't know how to get an emoji). You're not all drunks, some take water (and Shirley Temples) (and Roy Rogers) (and Trigger) like me. Just having a little fun on this fun thread. Am I not allowed? They'll get Hat ID working pretty soon. I'm glad you didn't take everything I said as offensive. I respect you tooo much to have you angry at little 'ol me. Have an extra three fingers for me and relax...... (not my middle finger though, please. I need it.) |
Banning someone when needed is a very useful tool in some cases among others. For example I have read one person wish cancer upon another here on several occasions. Banned! Some bad behavior is undeniably bad and cannot and should not be tolerated anywhere ever. I have made that clear to my kids over the years and so far knock on wood with very good results. |
Banning someone when needed is a very useful tool in some cases among others.Ok i got your point! oufff i must confess that none of these possibilities ever crossed my mind....I thought that a minimal ethic must be written....I am a bit too naive about disccussion it seems.... I dont know what to say about this.....I think you are right.... |
tuberculin, Do not worry, you did not offend me at all. Even geoffkait and millercarbon have not been able to get through, and they are professionals at it. I usually ask if they offer gin-tonic and then ask for that without gin. For some reason, ordering tonic only gets confusing to bartenders while this way they pick it quickly. Same will go for the fourth round at Axpona. Everybody is invited. I may even bring my Bluetooth speaker so there is some audio equipment involved. As far as hats go, no need for Hat ID technology at Axpona. If man wears a hat inside, an etiquette book is in order. That Talk but not walk thread was really an exercise in diversity, bickering, and wild fantasies. This is just a little friendly chat. |
Can I just say that without doubt and with no room for argument that Islay Malt is by f-a-r the best alcoholic libation to imbibe on the planet. The only questions that remain open and subject to a certain degree of debate are which brand and how many years old. All else is resolved (unlike the many audio dilemmas that still plague us). |
I don’t worry about anything but the present l don’t live in a vacuum .I get my flu shot, and China virus shot and ,I have spent the last year modding -upgrading Loudspeaker Xovers , my dac ,upgrading cables and gear , and just trying to make the best of a bad situation . If we could have a Audio show, like the Rocky Mountain show ,or any show for the fall that would be a major victory .I have been tired of the dam mask thing 3 months ago . Eventually you may even get a card to show you have had the vaccine . It may not be until next year where we can loose the masks inside, and depending how big a Power trip the state you live in !! |
I'll stand over here with the "MC, Sit, Stay" (good*s*pat*) crowd....;) Although I may not agree with Everything he posts, he's certainly free and welcome to do so imo... Writes well in a intelligent fashion although the soapbox is showing some wear 'n tear on some of the crowd. I suspect he doesn't care for my presence and the occasional remark, I'd hope he allows me the same. If he has opted to block me, oh well. Someone else will eventually point out that his sneakers leak. *smirk* |

I’ll stand over here with the "MC, Sit, Stay" (good*s*pat*) crowd....;)One thing for sure, nobody in his sound mind can hate you wise man ! I do the same than you, being less wise most of the times tough! 😊 My deepest salutations.... |
Just up the road from the Schaumberg hotel. I see real potential here. https://www.medievaltimes.com/ |
