   There's nothing wrong with that at all.  I have learned to become very   
   frugal myself though I am thankful that I am receiving food stamps right   
   now.  It's not a lot of money but it's enough to where I will not go   
   hungry.

   That happens here also.  1/2" of snow sends others into a panic and they   
   clear off the shelves.  It's stupid but it also shows people have no   
   idea about being prepared for a disaster.

   The last time I had a COVID test, the tech did not try to probe my brain   
   but swabbed my far-rear nasal passage.  It was slightly uncomfortable   
   but not painful.

   I'll be having one at the end of April.  I asked for another endoscopy   
   so they can take a look at my ulcer again and stretch out my esophagus   
   with a balloon (I have a crushed esophagus that gives me problems   
   swallowing).

   I can get one through the VA if I want but I am waiting for the   
   Johnson & Johnson shot to become available.  It's a standard adrenovirus   
   shot (like the flu shot) and it's a single shot.  This partiuclar shot   
   has far less side effects than the mRNA ones (the rest) and it is   
   designed to, if you catch COVID, lessen the symptoms.  They say that   
   with this shot, you will not die from COVID.   
      
   Being that I've already had COVID-19 last October, I am not as in need   
   as others (I'm still producing antibodies) but I will break down and get   
   the J & J shot.   
      
   Later,
