Thanks, David. We are doing fine. All our travels are in the SW USA now, seeing things that we have not seen before, or just want to visit again. So much yet to see right here in the South West USA (-:

I agree Barry, there is so much to see in the USA. When we took a break from Baja-only travel, back in or around 2008, we saw many of the wonders here... Hoover Dam, Carlsbad Caverns, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Meteor Crater, etc. So much more plus see more of what we just had a quick look at.

That’s a good thing, right? I came down with Valley Fever in 2012 and am still positive for the antibody test.

referring to the covid-19 virus as the "China virus " is such an overused, transparent
dog whistle cliche.... the use of which speaks volumes about the user.

Hows that mass dosing of the population with Ivermectrin working out for India, I assume they now have no problems with Covid?

"So you got an antibody test 9 months ago? What inspired that (and where did you get it)?"

No I didn't get an antibody test 9 mos ago. I got covid 19 (china virus) 9 mos ago.

I've been getting blood draws monthly (from my provider) since November in conjunction with my primary Dr. We want to see how long the antibodies last. (cause he don't know)

So more people that need a vaccination can get it instead of people like me that paid for the immunity the hard way don't need it, yet. We maybe will be immune until we die, when the antibodies are not detected in my blood I'll considder getting a Vac.

It's actually not from China, don't swallow the Cool-aid.

It was developed by the CIA at the request of You-know-who and planted in China knowing it would spread to the U.S. in order to resolve the Social Security financial crisis (cull the old folks), shifting blame to China in order to divert attention from the real culprits.


Don't forget that in a very special and unique arrangement, you know who obtained funding for this secret project from George Sorros. The CIA developed the virus in the Mar a Lago swimming pool and buffet line.

Both my wife (76) and I (83) had Covid early-Nov., caught in AZ on a road trip, probably infected at a mega-gas station near Needles, CA. Wife tested positive for Covid----I did not get tested. Both of us are healthy. For 2 weeks it was like a "bad case of the Flu", but we were up and about every day in-house. A month ago we were both tested for "anti-bodies" and tested positive. We both do have residual mild Covid symptoms still (long-haulers), but getting slightly better with each passing week and are functioning OK. It was not fun, but not "scary" or miserable. Due to our both having good "anti-bodies" still, we do not intend to get vaccinated for Covid at this time. I do get the seasonal vaccinations many get (flu, etc.), but not this new one for Covid since we already have Covid anti-bodies.


Long haulers got it rough.
The 2 most common symptoms in long haulers are fatigue and brain fog.
1/3 of covid infectees are long haulers.



That is certainly true of us, MtGoat. Yes, "brain-fog" and "fatigue" comes and goes, and we also have intermittent loss of smell and taste, and we also are sleeping a lot, often 10 hours a night, all of which are very unusual for us before having Covid. We blame "Covid" for everything, but who knows how much our age has to do with how we feel?!?!? Slowly, we are returning to normal, we think.



There is some research that the vaccine will help clear up left-over covid infection symptoms that long haulers experience. You may want to research that if you are still feeling icky.

Thanks, BajaMama, I really appreciate hearing that. I had not heard that about the vac. maybe helping "long haulers". Certainly worth looking into. My wife and I are somewhat better now, but I am still plagued with serious joint-pain and mild fatigue that I did not have before our Covid bout in early November, 2020. Trying lots of different OTC anti "pain and inflammation" pills that certainly help (ALEVE, Advil dual-action, Harvey's Raisins, etc.), but I hate becoming addicted to them long term. Whatever works is my guide, but used with caution. We will get another "anti-body" blood check nest month to see if we are still positive. Our Health Insurance (Medicare and Blue Cross) totally covers the "anti-body" tests, so far.. Barry A.

Watch the ibuprofen. I had a buddy who used it regularly after workouts, ended up in the hospital one day. Kidney issues.

A well-known risk of the medication. You have any idea of the dosages he was taking? :wow:


No, I do not. It surprised me because he's a workout and health freak.

my two cents on the kidney deal....a year ago my yearly visit to the doc revealed poor kidney function, doc said it was diet soda's (these were my go to c-cktail mixers thinking I was cutting a fat hog), completely cut them out and kidney's running like a big dog now....and thats all I know about that:light:

Thanks for the heads-up on dangers of "pills", John Harper-------it is scary.

I also use Nasaids (Aleve) with good results for joint inflammation, but only a couple times a week with one pill only, each day, and never with any other pain-pill at the same time. Works pretty good for me, usually.

On a decent "mixer" for c-cktails--------been using "7-up Zero-Sugar" for months now with good results on Kidney tests so far.
