A reminder that when you post comments with drug names or multiple links, the odds skyrocket that your comment will be tagged as spam or sent to moderation. I don’t check those very often, so it’s possible they won’t be released.
I’ve also instituted a proactive policy to tag as spam certain users who have been abusing their privileges. You’ll know who you are by now.
Also — if your comment is longer than 90% of my entries, it’s time to get your own blog. Keep it short.
My arm still hurts like hell, so I’m not in the mood to argue.

Gin and Tonic.

That didn’t take long.
A gin and tonic is part of our daily health regimen here at Casa de Tanker. In fact, it’s almost time I head to the kitchen and prepare today’s serving.
Hey! If it’s 5:00p at your house … that’s good enough for me here on the Left coast! Cheers!
PS … tomorrow … all the tonic water will be SOLD OUT at my local markets. All the dry goods are …
Don’t forget the lime wedge – must keep scurvey away.
Kate, hope and pray you feel better soon. David.
Kate,
Hope your arm heals quickly and you are feeling better soon

Glad to hear that Kate. The last while there’s been more than a few culprits abusing the privilege which was becoming quite bothersome.
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
I wouldn’t knock spam. It’s looking pretty good in the ol’ pantry right now.
But does the word “spam” trigger moderation? Let’s find out…
Nope.
How about KLIK?
“Get your own blog!” There’s more than a few who should take that advice. I love it!
theyre afraid of the competition!!!!
Sorry to hear your arm is no better, Kate. Prayers for a faster recovery.
I like it when you are cranky.
But I hope you heal quickly.
Kate,
Thank you for the work you do every day. It doesn’t surprise me when you get Canadian stories before a lot of people here in South Carolina USA, but it amazes me how many American stories I read here first. You do great work, thanks again.
Foggytrucker – great post. I agree, Kate’s the best. I’m an Albertan and I first heard about SDA from a Libertarian from NH many years ago when I used to go to Steynonline all the time. I’ve been coming back here ever since.
Be well Kate. And don’t touch your face, please.
Like!
Is it “mouse arm” Kate?
Probably rotater cuff. It’s improved a little. I can touch my face now. Just.
DONT TOUCH YOUR FACE!!
BTW … Kate
About a month ago I woke up one Sunday morning and literally couldn’t walk, because my remaining natural hip was in so much acute PAIN with every step I took … it just buckled. I was in total despair, as now was not a particularly good time for NOT being able to walk. I called my orthopedic surgeon to schedule a visit and another hip replacement.
Well I did a little more reading … and discovered that my problem might NOT be a terminal case of cartilage erosion … but just a “flare up”. The article recommended rest and minimal walking around for a few days. This had NEVER been true of my other hip, which just gradually got worse and worse. Well (to quote Joe Biden) “son of a bitch”! After 3-days of rest, I was able to walk with no pain whatsoever … and the problem hasn’t returned since.
Hopefully, you’ve just had a flare up caused by exertion and with a little rest, you’ll be able to touch your nose again … pain free!
I apologize.
Will be brief in future.
Thanks

Kate, Please go all Maggie Thatcher.
If anybody knows how to treat a painful sling-encased (good = immobilized) arm, I’m sure it is you. Hope it heals quickly though my curiosity is , well let’s just say it is a good thing I am not a cat. May the effects of your Ibuprofen have the longevity of a Justified.
Speaking of Ibuprofen, Word has gone out NOT to take it if you think you might have the coronavirus. BAD side effects.
The doctor on Carlson show said that Ibuprofen is ok for fever, not to overdo it.
Also said Tylenol may be easier and works the same.
Why has Dear Leader allowed planes from China to land in Canadian airports daily …uninterrupted since the outbreak??https://flightaware.com/live/flight/CXA805/history/20200319/1430Z/ZSAM/CYVR
Not sure if links works but a plane from China will be landing at YVR in approx one hour from now.
Ezra has been following this, of course crickets from MSM. If I recall Trump stopped flights from China in January.
Maybe this will help clear up the very close connections that Quebecers have with China.

I read an article some time ago about one of the Quebec companies investing in growing oranges in China on a large scale. Can’t find it on the net now.
As most people know Quebecers were/are big into communism like Pierre was.
so Kate, you have a sore arm, does Lance have a black eye:-))))
Kate I know you are a very competitive woman but you’ll just have to learn to stop arm wrestling with the boys. Those beer drinkers can be very strong after a few ales. heh
But seriously, I had my first and only (I hope) rotater cuff injury 5 yrs ago when I was laying on the ground trying to loosen the rusty old nuts on an Ezee-On 500 double disc.
No room, awkward position and holding the 3/4 in ratchet up in the air.
Didn’t actually feel it that bad right away but it took a year or so to get back to relative normal. And even now still get the occasional reminder that it’s there.
Get well – we really need you to captain the good ship SDA.
