I'm back....Did you miss me? The pacemaker procedure was set for today as I suggested above. But the best laid plans..... Last Sunday, I felt a bit crook, and was off my food. I also had terrible shaking, like Parkinson's Disease. I was carrying a glass of water and almost sloshed it over the place with the shakes. I only ate half the dinner my daughter served, and I said "I'll have the rest for lunch at the Shed." But I didn't go to the shed, was collapsed on the bed in the heat. Didn't have lunch either. Monday dinner was the same, could only eat half. Tuesday was no better, so my daughter said "Make an appointment with the doctor". Getting ready for the doctor, I tipped forward in the bedroom, overbalanced and fell face first onto the bed. I was like a turtle on its back - couldn't move. My daughter had to drag me by the arm to get upright, then help me to my feet. I eventually got to see the doctor, and after a couple of checks, said' "I'll call an ambulance to take you to hospital. You have a bad infection." So here it is, Tuesday night, and I'm in ER at the hospital. An X-ray and further tests, and I was admitted to a ward, where I have been ever since, having IV antibiotics. I went onto the fasting in preparation for the procedure. About 10:30, the pathologist came and took a blood sample, and a short while after, the cardiologists analyst came in to say the procedure was deferred, fasting cancelled. "The doctor will come in and see you later to explain". About 7:30 pm., the doctor arrives, and says "You will have to stay here on antibiotics, hopefully we can perform the procedure on Wednesday." I asked the problem, and he said, "Urinary infection. No work associated with the heart till that is cleared up." Ah.... The joys of living. Oh, shortly after the doctor left, my son dropped by to bring me the laptop.

Happy Valentines Day from the White House Instagram abbount...

This up and down weather is playing havoc with my sinuses. 37 one day, 18 two days later. My nose is dripping like a tap. I've reacted this way for over 40 years. My father suffered greatly with bronchitis, which was the reason we moved to Deniliquin in 1956. Atmosphere much drier there.

BREAKING: Donald Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center implodes in humiliating fashion as droves of talented celebrities abandon the legendary performing arts center in protest. Trump is radioactive with the people he wants to impress most... Actress Issa Rae announced on Instagram in a brief statement that she is cancelling her "An Evening With Issa Rae" event slated for next month. Tickets will be refunded. "Unfortunately, due to what I believe to be an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums, I’ve decided to cancel my appearance at this venue," she wrote. Trump made himself chairman of the center on Wednesday. Earlier this week he removed Biden appointees from the board and rammed in unqualified cronies including Second Lady Usha Vance and White House Chief of staff Susie Wiles. Mega-successful television producer and writer Shonda Rhimes — the woman behind hit shows like Grey's Anatomy, Bridgerton, and Scandal among others — resigned as treasurer of the center's board yesterday. She posted a quote from JFK on her Instagram: "If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him." Legendary soprano Renée Fleming resigned as artistic advisor to the center and while she avoided naming Trump, she praised David M. Rubenstein — the center's former chairman who was ousted. Singer and songwriter Ben Folds stepped down from his role as advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra, which the Kennedy Center oversees. "Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic adviser to the N.S.O. Mostly, and above all, I will miss the musicians of our nation’s symphony orchestra — just the best!" Folds wrote on Instagram. Adam Weiner of the band Low Cut Connie has also canceled an appearance at the center next month. "Upon learning that this institution that has run nonpartisan for 54 years is now chaired by President Trump himself and his regime, I decided I will not perform there," he wrote on social media, adding that friends and fans were going to be "directly negatively affected by this administration’s policies and messaging." This is the kind of rejection that infuriates Donald Trump more than anything. He has long wanted to be accepted by America's cultural elites. Instead, they see him for the cruel, fascist, incompetent failure he truly is.

And the suckers will swallow it hook line and sinker. However, things are tanking a bit for him. Lots of Tesla orders cancelled and Tesla shares nosediving. A question was asked on Facebook, what would you like to get rid of to help the economy? Every second comment was Tesla cars. Trump also rated highly. Soon he won't be able to give them away. A German car hire firm has dumped all EV's and gone back to ICE.

(Slight diversion: I have the same problem texting. I've changed to using voice to text. I mentioned it at the Shed, and a mate got Siri to type the text then read it back to check she got it right before sending. That may help you.)

Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under socialism, it's the exact opposite.

They'd have a tough time trying to satisfy you.

A guy went for a holiday on a pig farm. For breakfast, they had eggs and bacon. For lunch it was ham sandwiches. In the evening, they had pork chops or roast pork. The guy said to the farmer, "This tea tastes strange." The farmer said, "Yes, we use bore water." The guy said, "Gee, you don't waste much of the pig, do you?"

Both of them belong in GITMO.
