While I am happy RFK Jr is now HHS, it doesn't change the fact that I, and my entire extended family, will never listen to a thing the cdc, fda, msm medical community et al have to say again. The trust is GONE! We will do our own due diligence and go from there. This is my PSA for everyone. 😉🥰
My Summer Treat has been Coffee Liqueur, with Milk, some Chocolate Milk, over ice, accessorized by a little mocha colored umbrella. Should I update my Will?
When asked how he could stand to turn up a warm bottle of Jack Daniels in the fishing boat on a hot, sunny summer day, my buddy explained that it sent chills up his spine and made him shiver all over. 🥃😵
Oh, five billion percent right on. A good starter point: NEVER take a medication/jab, etc. that is still on patent, and research carefully all the rest. For example, chemo drugs are mostly useless and make your life shorter and more miserable--but they're legal, and many of them are off patent.
I've seen recipes that require cooking the coconut stuff first, I think. It's been awhile since I looked - could be confusing ice cream recipes with homemade yogurt recipes, which do require cooking the coconut cream first.
Haha - I've given it the mandatory hour to see if Jenna jumped in to disown me (as she once did within 42 seconds), and she has not done so....but no, alas we are not related - as far as we know!
I am something of an accomplished family-history geek, and although I lost the threads of both your ancestries in a cloud of confusion right above your parents, I decided to work the other end, down from the top, and found that you both appear to be descended from one Adam and Eve [no last names given].
Glad the CDC recommends staying indoors all day under full on blasting A/C. Oh wait, just in from the CDC (different floor of the same office): “Yes, running air conditioners can contribute to dehydration. Air conditioners reduce the humidity in indoor environments by extracting moisture from the air through condensation, which results in drier air. This dry air increases the rate of evaporation of moisture from the skin and respiratory system, leading to a higher rate of water loss from the body.
Ok, now what?? Which is it, latte infused martinis by the pool or hide indoors and stay cool??
Yesterday I was checking into a doctor’s office that takes its duty to ask government directed questions seriously. (I think they get paid a little extra if they ask.) The Nanny State Question of the Day: “When was the last time you saw your Primary Care Physician”. Me: “I don’t remember.” Receptionist: “I have to put something down.” Me: “Well, I have my annual physical in a month.” Receptionist: “I can’t put down a future date. How about yesterday?” Me: “OK, whatever.”
I look forward to DOGE finding these people and putting them out of our misery.
My mother who's on medicare is required to see her PCP 2X a year, including one visit that includes a long rather invasive medical checklist/questionnaire. Suspect this is a 'check the box' exercise that NO ONE really looks at. I fill it out sitting next to her as her eyesight is not great and her arthritis in her hands makes a lot of writing hard. We decided last year to mess with them a little and put things down like her last pregnancy was 6 months ago (at age 86). No one called out any of her answers. Proof they don't read them.
Those “Medicare questionnaires” are total BS. I am 72 soon to me 73. I say that I’ve never had any of the diseases listed, and never “felt or thought “ any of the ‘feelings’ type of questions, have no “family history” of ANYTHING. And have no past medical history of any surgeries or what not. (Of which I have had three surgeries in my adult life.)
I lie. Or I politely refuse to use the pad they hand me to answer all kinds of invasive questions about how I'm feeling and all that crap. If the doctor wants to ask me then he/she can. They never do.
I seriously don’t know how I managed to survive to knocking 70 on zero meds, without all these “government warnings”. Oh wait, yes I do, I IGNORED every single one!
Hey Meteorology Stay in your lane. More of “tonight it will be dark, with a little scattered sunlight toward morning” Hippy Dippy Weatherman brought to you by George Carlin.
Truly, the government thinks we are all children. Why else would it give advice that is what reasonable parents give to their life-inexperienced children?
Even my middle teen, when I encourage a bit of salt in the water bottle for their hour long in the sun athletic game, replies, "I know, I have it taken care of. I'll be all right." (Of course, without adding the salt, but we're not miles from civilization and sometimes experience is the best teacher, and they've played well so far. So.)
Well, except when trying to replenish sodium, the sodium pumps work better in the presence of a small amount of glucose. Although perhaps that glucose is necessary only once actually dehydrated. I'm not sure.
The Gatorade Zero uses, as far as I know, neurotoxic sucralose or aspartame. So, no thanks.
A small piece of pink salt in a bottle of water is great.
My local tv stations’ weather reports helpfully remind me to take an umbrella when rain is predicted, put on a jacket in chilly weather, stay in the shade when it’s hot and sunny. I never could have made it this far without being told what to wear, do, or take with me. Even my own mother didn’t have the good graces to instruct me, but instead wanted me to find out for myself. The nerve.
Welp, I don’t know if I have sufficient strategic caffeine reserve capacity to up my coffee intake, but dammitanyway, I’m gonna try. I consumed my lifetime allowance of alcohol 40 years ago, and to the chagrin of the Seagrams company, I was compelled to lay off the sauce indefinitely, so it will be up to others to pick up the shot glasses and up the alcoholic ante. Cheers
Thanks HHS and all the rest of you silly DC Swamp turds. I will continue to drink as much coffee as I want and do whatever I want. Go get yourselves a coffee enema spiked with kerosene...for you own good health of course. I demand you take my advice.
It's a good thing that everyone here knows that following government advice is deadly. Literally.
The great news is that our overlords will be able to track and control us soon so that we make sure we follow their dictates.
"We saw that you drank more than your alloted one coffee a day. Your credit score will decrease so you no longer will be able to attend the live show that you have scheduled for next month if you continue this insubordination."

I 100% totally agree. In fact I am likely to do the opposite if what they say. Because then I have the chance of being right.

Hehehe jpeach…. Carry on 💥
Don't change your will yet, but you should share your recipe!!
😂
Ditto. I figure if the dicks are lying to us, then something in the opposite category should suffice! 😂🔥
Yes! I’m in the “opposite “ camp.👍
This ⬆️

Totally agree 100%!
Complying 🤭😉
Amen 🙏💪💥🙄🤯😎
I love hearing that. Good for you! And it WILL be good for you.
My motto is “question everything.”
Ah, the ever helpful government overlords. Whatever would we do without them? Enjoy life? Observe a bit of "Darwin Thinning of the Herd"?
Ice cream! Ice cream is the solution!
A wise woman I know says, "ice cream makes everything better." I'll take her advice over the government's.
🎯
Yes! Ice cream and popsicles. And water balloons!
Every afternoon in our heat wave, my dogs enjoy a Frosty Paw and I have an ice cream bar dipped in dark chocolate.
Be a kid again!
Yes spiked ice cream or espresso ice cream. 😎
Coconut Ice Cream for the win! (freshly made, homemade!)
Ah, that sounds great. If I were the government, that’s what I’d recommend.
But not before securing stock in appropriate entities. 😉
But of course! Government employees see themselves as having the right to profit off their advice.
As in, made with coconut milk instead of cow's milk? Do you have a good recipe that doesn't require lots of complicated steps? Thanks!
Seems pretty simple to me, nothing terribly complex.
Yes, I've been experimenting with a few variations, but a key ingredient is the "coconut heavy cream", plus I add coconut flakes (and cocoa).
Perhaps I should write an article on making ice cream?
Look at it as a public service, John! We need your help, it’s Summer, for goodness sake!
😇 Well, don't blame me when you find out it's *healthy*.
I've seen recipes that require cooking the coconut stuff first, I think. It's been awhile since I looked - could be confusing ice cream recipes with homemade yogurt recipes, which do require cooking the coconut cream first.
I can't imagine cooking it first!
Yum….
For those looking for my article: I just published it:

Coffee ice cream!
Coffee Liqueur Ice Cream! Triple threat!
😆
Orphan girl (Butte, MT liqueur)with ice cream and root beer ! Decadent!!
My favorite!
Now THIS is sound advice
One surefire way to get me to do something is to get the government to tell me not to.
Are you related to our super funny scribe, Dan McCarthy?
Haha - I've given it the mandatory hour to see if Jenna jumped in to disown me (as she once did within 42 seconds), and she has not done so....but no, alas we are not related - as far as we know!
My brother from another mother! Never!🤣💕

I have a sudden urge to run with scissors or go swimming immediately after eating!
🤣
Ink poisoning from ball point pen writing an actual phone number to add to address book at home
Yep still know a bunch of phone numbers by heart
Oh and no poisoning from ink pens
Whew! I'm glad that running with scissors around the pool after eating is still okay!
OK. Just gotta add this.

My mom's doc still has hers on paper. Which is better anyway as its less likely to be fed into some AI algorithm.
They checked the box that indicates you checked the boxes. 😁
One of the hallmarks of not-young bureaucracies: reports no one reads.
Absolutely awesome! Everyone should do that.
GOOD ONE!😂
I seriously don’t know how I managed to survive to knocking 70 on zero meds, without all these “government warnings”. Oh wait, yes I do, I IGNORED every single one!
I don’t put on sunscreen or wear sunglasses either. 77 yo. I’m not afraid of any stinkin’ sun.

“The government thinks…” isn’t quite oxymoronic, but it isn’t a thing at all.
True.
The people in government think... or, more correctly, believe.
Gatorade! Zero to avoid the glucose.
Well, except when trying to replenish sodium, the sodium pumps work better in the presence of a small amount of glucose. Although perhaps that glucose is necessary only once actually dehydrated. I'm not sure.

I’m going to go with “Things I don’t give two shites about” for $800, Alex.

Reading with amusement from the UK. It may be a different country, but still the same shit ! As we say over here - Bottoms Up 🥂🤣
