    Sorry to hear this, Sly. How old is your granddaughter? It can be pretty tough on young ones when they lose a grandparent.

    She's my stepdaughter's daughter, but I'm grandpa to her.

    Oh, man, that's a lot of loss for a such a young girl. Fortunately, kids are pretty resilient. Give her lots of hugs.

    It's funny, I'm not sure how much of her brother she remembers but she sees photos and he's kind of become her imaginary friend. But yes, kids are crazy resilient.

    That's not correct. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom but Great Britain consists of only England, Wales and Scotland.

    Im so pissed off at Oregon response on vaccine roll out and being near last in the whole country. She did this with testings as well.
    Leave it up to state government bureaucracy to perform a priority endeavor well. baloney!

    I've been looking at this.

    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive...TOcz3lxjQYK8lTbQUliDBIMVTL2-tTYMjGzjwdlBKrG1c

    This is very concerning. Check out Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

    It's getting to the point that if you have someone in LA that needs to go to the hospital you're going to start looking around to find hospitals that aren't overwhelmed. Do you want your loved one sitting in a hallway for 2 days waiting for a hospital bed or do you throw them in the car and take them somewhere that isn't full?

    If just 50 people from California do this and our hospitals are full.

    All right everyone. You know exactly who I mean and who you are when I say 'everyone'. Let's see you defend this.
