    Can't remember if I seen this here so some other place? Either way, I had never heard about it but it sounds like it has been around for a while and works?

    Lyme Disease Prevention Sunshine and warmer weather is here and with it, comes the need to get out and explore; but before you head out for a walk in the wilderness, you need to be aware of Lyme disease, and how to protect yourself from Lyme carrying ticks. Ontario’s tick population has been on the rise for some time and so have the number of Ontarians reporting symptoms associated with Lyme disease. Here are some things to consider before venturing outside for work or play. Don’t let your guard down - increase your index of suspicion. There are now more ticks in Ontario, and they are thriving in various regions. Check your local news for local advisories on increased tick population density. Prevent tick bites by using insect repellent that contains 20-30% DEET Wear clothing that has been treated with permethrin Check yourself; your family members and your pets when you have finished your hike. Ticks are very small, and you will need to look over the whole body Remove any embedded ticks appropriately and save it for public notification. Improper removal of the tick can increase the chances of the bacteria being transmitted and further infection. How to remove a tick: Use clean, fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible. Pull upward with steady, even pressure. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. Never crush a tick with your fingers. If you pull a tick out and the head stays in, clean the skin with rubbing alcohol. Use a sterile needle to uncover the head and lift it out. If a small piece of the head remains, the skin will slowly shed it. If most of the head is left, call your doctor for help. Seek early treatment and do not ignore symptoms – especially a rash or what is commonly referred to as a Bull’s-eye. If you are working outdoors – look for ticks on your body and take a shower as soon as you can after your shift. Take a picture of any rash and do not delay treatment or a WSIB claim. Your best line of defense against Lyme disease are awareness and preventative measures. Members are encouraged to stay educated on this issue. Lyme disease is no laughing matter, however with the proper prevention, we can all remain safe while outside.
  3. Those 2 clowns are destroying our country, which is plain to see, but Trail thinks we should roll out the red carpet for them.
  4. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 56% during Trump's presidency.
  5. Another one of Trail's idols getting a warm reception wherever he goes.

  7. Yep, Used Parts Plus is exactly right. He didn't necessarily give that up when he opened Spoiled Sports, but, obviously, Spoiled Sports took priority over that. I'm not trying to age the man, but I would guess maybe even early 60's now? But, then again, since I am fast approaching that age myself, maybe I'm just assuming he is already there?
  8. Cryptocurrencies are proving to be just as risky as stocks and susceptible to the same concerns that are dragging down the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Bitcoin hit by the same problems dragging down stocks. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/09/investing/bitcoin-price-cryptocurrencies-stock/index.html
  9. Dave and Linda retired. I don't think it necessarily has anything to do with "going out of business" as in they could no longer cut it if that is what you're alluding too? .
  10. Same. Don't how that is possible, other than we must be a walking miracles?
  11. Our fearless leader paid Ukraine a visit as well. Things must be really ugly over there and what the media tells and shows us must be true if this chickenshit moron paid them a visit. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/pm-trudeau-makes-surprise-visit-to-ukraine-1.5893862

    Markets.

    Nice, and from a site mod too. Sure glad Frankie version number 2 is available for you to keep you occupied and draw people to the site. I know there must be hundreds on here, and hundreds in the waiting, who just can't wait to read childish threads just like this one.

    Seek help, dude, seriously. You're not right in the head.
  14. It seems some have forgotten about this too. https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2635 https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21206071-brook-jackson-lawsuit Brook Jackson: Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial. But, for researchers who were testing Pfizer’s vaccine at several sites in Texas during that autumn, speed may have come at the cost of data integrity and patient safety. A regional director who was employed at the research organisation Ventavia Research Group has told The BMJ that the company falsified data, unblinded patients, employed inadequately trained vaccinators, and was slow to follow up on adverse events reported in Pfizer’s pivotal phase III trial. Staff who conducted quality control checks were overwhelmed by the volume of problems they were finding. After repeatedly notifying Ventavia of these problems, the regional director, Brook Jackson (video 1), emailed a complaint to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Ventavia fired her later the same day. Jackson has provided The BMJ with dozens of internal company documents, photos, audio recordings, and emails.
  15. You do realize, (I hope) that that is a pic of a missile being launched rather than the ship being struck by one, don't you?
  16. Trust the science, trust the professionals,,,,,,,,,,, just not the first time they look at something though.
  17. Because the fuel is hygroscopic, boat engines are more prone, due to the environment their in, obviously, to have issues. readily taking up and retaining moisture
  18. Have any of the lies stuck yet?
  19. I don't get people still thinking Trump did everything the media accused him of? If they can't see that now, (but I guess it is deeply embedded. TDS), they never will. They will just carry on and carry on because what the corrupt, crooked, and evil Dem party and their funded media did to them is now ever lasting. Talk about being easily brainwashed. Was he perfect? No, of course not, but he genuinely cared about the U.S. and its citizens. The current one and the one prior to Trump were, and still are, trying to destroy America.
  20. Schwab's death can't come soon enough either even though there is likely someone, or many, to fill his shoes as soon as that does happen.
