Here I am at Arrowhead Stadium with all the Chiefs Fans. They came in the van. Can you find them? The original design of Arrowhead and whatever they call the Royals field was for a movable roof that could travel from one stadium to the next 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted February 8, 2021 #7428 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Unfortunately, my BIL did not survive his stroke. The family is devastated but is taking some solace that he is an organ donor and they have already found a match for his kidney in California. They were able to see him in the hospital before he passed following strict rules. Two people could visit for 15 minutes, followed by 2 more people for another 15 minutes, followed by 2 more people for an hour. Not sure how they came up with that rule, but it let his immediate family and brother say their goodbyes. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saves so many lives, and its a kind of solace indeed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted them to win, but their play was worthy of this teasing. This was the first that I every wanted the Weekend to end early, just like the game. 🤣 I had never heard of The Weeknd before the ads for the halftime show, and will probably never hear from him again. I must be getting old. Having just purchased a house, I did enjoy this tweet: Emmanuel Acho on Twitter: "How realtors be giving virtual tours of the home: https://t.co/VqazUT1Vq9" / Twitter 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General vision is fairly clear but reading is blurry but consultant said I will probably need a new glasses prescription when things settle down. I have an appointment on 24th February with the consultant. Graham. I guess they cant get totally rid of the bubble. Sight is so important I'm worried for you. Keep us informed please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a grocery store in Collier county Florida...called "Seed to Table" that encourages no mask use. He, his employees, and customers are all in that store in close quarters with no masks. Makes me wonder if these nay sayers that refuse health protocols directed by the CDC...should perhaps sign waivers that they will not seek medical treatment from our already overworked and stressed out health care workers, as they are knowingly putting themselves in harms way. They are thumbing their noses at these poor dedicated workers. When those nay sayers get sick...of course they head right to the hospital. Yeah, I will get off my soap box now...but I see it with my poor overworked sister, a doctor of infectious diseases...that cries each time she loses a patient. And there are too many of them. I absolutely agree with you Pat. These people are idiots but will be the first ones to cry and expect instant treatment if they catch covid19. Best wishes to you,Bucky and your sister.

His office mate tested positive on Thursday, he was sent for test on Friday. Just got the good news he is negative tonight. Hopefully an eye opener to be diligent Most people test negative until day 5-7 after the exposure. Taking the test immediately rarely leads to a positive test. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad family was able to visit for final goodbyes. So sad how many people dont get that opportunity these days. Hang in there, you and your wife are in our thoughts and prayers. Yes, I hope the family peace knowing his organ(s) will help someone else. My Eric had received his organ transplant from a young boy that had overdosed on heroin and the parents made the decision to donate while he was on life support. We are thankful everyday!
