The stock rose almost 170 % today

My friend whom I have known over 40 years, screens his phone calls.

(We have known each other since 1966.)

It happened before Christmas too. He never answered or returned phone call

I hate his moods.

His birthday is Jan 10th, do I send a birthday card?

Or ignore his childish attitude? And still send the birthday card?

Today my virus protection went berserk today? I checked for updates and all is better now!

did this happen to anyone else?

FYI, The Aussie government set an edict that you cant surf the web without virus protection!

Been using Firefox browser for 3 years (no problems) Now it sucks!

It runs slow ,it locks up!

I have used utility cleaners

since the last Firefox update it really runs bad!

I am tempted to go to filehippo and download an older version

It was if everyone was stoned! The humor was horrible too.

The only part that was good was the off the wall tribute to

Meryl Streep

Today I ate a banana it had freckles on its skin.

So is it a Redhead or Blonde? Or too much sun without sun screen

sorry I''m being sarcastic ROFLOL

I have a headache too

I usually suffer from bad colds bronchial infections.

The VA wont prescribe antibiotics unless I have a fever

I usually get a sore throat then it progresses to a bad

condition like bronchitis.

I usually use zinc lozenges when I get a sore throat.

I have tried gargle with salt, listerine,or Peroxide.

I was searching the internet for alternative cures

for colds sore throats etc.

I found there are fish antibiotics I could buy

without prescription.

I also have looked at pill identitys for pills (photos)

The same exact ones I buy for fish are listed

I have heard all kinds of explanation that the pills

are not pure or could case side effects.

Needless to say at the onset of a sore throat I

use the zinc tabs and fish antibiotics usually in 2 days

I am cured. I have done this for almost 5 years and

avoid the VA.

Sorry to say, sometimes the VA sucks!! They use primary care

people to exam you and prescribe meds.

It is rare a real doctor exams you!!

Appreciate the input.

Thanks all

Appreciate the comments
