On the power of prayer: extremely powerful meditative tool for the person doing the praying. Essentially a very self centered act that benefits your own self. Essentially I feel this sadness, it feels overwhelming, but by relying on this meditative tool, I am able to overcome such sadness. Agree c scary, it either does nothing Or it actually harms the individual being prayed upon. First the added pressure as scary mentioned, also the prayer is said as a favor, “I’m praying for you” implies a favor done for you, when in reality it is for your own sadness.
On Cain. The powerful irony of his death is not lost to the FAUX News MAGA tribe. They are extremely quiet on social media over the last few days.
ocrenterParticipant[quote=HelloImaMac]Thanks for the comments.The house was built in 2001 and the zip code is 92128 (Sabre Springs)
Yes the lack of a view is a negative point for this house. But the location and sq-ft/upgrades suit our price point and our tastes.[/quote]
Due to lack of inventory plus description, wasn’t too hard to look up on Redfin.
The slope looks good, not too steep at all, seen far worse!
The only thing is via the photos you are able to see neighbor’s windows, which means they are able to look down as well. Just get some trees to block that line of sight and you should be good.
Best of luck!

Population study of British Africans showing overall poor prognosis despite equal access to NHS. Commonality is all of them are severely deficient of vit D (darker complexion in always cloudy UK).
ocrenterParticipant[quote=Coronita]how’s the ICU capacity looking in SD thus far?[/quote]
Depends.
Sharp and Scripps have been at above capacity at their Chula Vista campuses forever due to their county uninsured obligation, patients driving across the border straight to those ERs continue. Lots of diversion to their other hospitals across the county.
Other health systems not impacted at this time. Most are taking in transfers from heavily impacted locations such as Imperial and San Bernardino.

ocrenter: speaking of quarantine, I’d really support requiring airlines to ask for proof of a recent negative (last 48-72 hours, no older) COVID swab before boarding passengers for Northeastern airports, as well as requiring quarantine. The majority of cases in places like NJ are starting to be from imported outbreaks, and most of the hotspots aren’t within easy driving/train/bus distance.
We could even randomly check car passengers for proof of recent test and quarantine plans … there’s precedent in the US for this. California has ag inspection stations at its borders to prevent importation of dangerous parasites. A virus is essentially a dangerous, microscopic parasite.[/quote]
great in concept. problem is pandemic is so widespread and so many folks clamoring for tests that we now have shortage of plastic swabs and result time gets dragged out to a week.
if someone had activated national defense production act early on regarding all items (reagents, swabs, masks, PPEs) we would have been in good shape. (for example Taiwan added 60 mask assembly lines within a month’s time).
anyhow, we are asking patients without symptoms to not test due to supply constrains and excessive delays. all of the medical groups within the county lobbied the county to fall in line on this and the news today is the county has agreed to fall back to no testing of asymptomatics.
what I’m telling asymptomatics who was exposed: assume you have it, quarantine for 2 weeks, take zinc and vit D and aspirin.
ocrenterParticipantWriting was on the wall. Not sure why Newsom allowed the counties to decide for themselves so quickly. That’s 58 counties all competing with each other open up to “help the economy”.
People need to realize with this virus, freedom is earned through social distancing, universal masking, contacting tracing, mandatory quarantine with enforcement, and tight control at all ports of entry.
As for the economy, we get a booming economy if we get the virus under control, see above measures.
There is no short cut. Patriots have always said, “freedom isn’t free”. With this virus, these words are truer than ever.

Instead, he is only focused on the economy which he believes is linked to his chances to get reelected.[/quote]
Of course what he failed to recognize is the control of the virus is the key to the economy.
July 10, 2020 at 9:19 PM in reply to: the reopening of america is a pivotal historical moment? #818749ocrenterParticipantPeople are throwing caution to the wind.
Some lady’s whole family drove to Vegas, huge house party during July 4th. One cousin started having symptoms a day or 2 after, now a bunch of them are all starting to have symptoms.
Another guy hosted a family from Phoenix also curing the July 4th weekend. Someone in that family had a friend with 103 degree fever, this guy now positive but no symptoms so far.
Colleague doing tele-medicine work for IE patients reporting the number of COVID positives just exploding.
It goes on and on and on…

Thanks for asking flu. Doing well and trying my best to “thrive”.

My parents moved after I left home to a house that backed up against a highway. It was extremely noisy in their back yard. If that was OK with them, fine. But they also had a layer of filth that would cover everything in the back yard. You could clean it off and within a day or two it would be back. I believe it was tire particles and brake dust and I think studies show that to be the case in the immediate vicinity of major roadways. My mother died of cancer while living in that house. I always wonder if that would have happened had they picked another house.
When we bought our first new home, we toured the models of the development and then sat down with the agent to pick a lot. I noticed that one home was significantly more expensive than the others for no reason I could tell. I asked the agent why that was. She said because there were no homes behind it. I said, “yeah that’s because it backs up to a FOUR LANE ROAD!”. She just smiled. I think she agreed with my perspective.[/quote]
first sorry for your loss.
second, I think you are 100% spot on. the evidence on malignancy and dementia from pollution is quite overwhelming.

I have friends in nyc who lived right next to roaring elevated subway traffinic. And they were happy to be there![/quote]
beautifully written, I’m sold!
I agree, everything truly is relative and perspective is everything. Then svelte hits with his perspective and everything is truly put into the proper perspective.

WOW! I’m sitting at 3.875% resisting the temptation to refi. I think I’ll wait a bit longer…
