Just for Fun A Little Humour in Our Current Situation

• Is it too early to put up the Christmas tree yet? I have run out of things to do.

• If these last months have taught us anything, it’s that stupidity travels faster than any virus on the planet, particularly among politicians and bureaucrats.

• Just wait a second – so what you're telling me is that my chance of surviving all this is directly linked to the common sense of others?

You’re kidding, right?

• Remember when you were little and all your underwear had the days of the week on them.

Those would be helpful right now.

• The spread of Covid-19 is based on two factors: 1. How dense the population is and 2.

How dense the population is.

• Remember all those times when you wished the weekend would last forever? Well, wish granted. Happy now?

• It may take a village to raise a child, but I swear it’s going to take a whole vineyard to home school one.

• I did a big load of pajamas so I would have enough clean work clothes for this week.

We agree that it is even more important for people to get immunized this year given the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The only change here is to our normal drop-in clinics, which will not be happening. This recognizes that bringing in groups of people into these locations does create a risk of COVID-19 exposure, particularly to those most vulnerable to COVID-19 and the flu. Community providers like pharmacies and primary care offices were already providing 70 per cent of the immunizations in Interior Health as of last year.

What Do You Know About Strength Training?

training boosts metabolism and helps burn more calories at rest, ultimately reducing body fat (provided a proper diet). While cardio expends calories during exercise for energy, it doesn’t have the same metabolism-enhancing effect as lifting weights.

Beyond burned fat and toned arms, pumping iron offers an array of other health benefits, such as: • Minimizing risk of illnesses like osteoporosis, diabetes and cardiovascular disease • Reducing stress and anxiety What is strength training?

I live in the trailer park 4 miles out Mabel Lake Rd. I’ve been a Christian over 45 years.

I’ve attended many different churches and denominations but found that home fellowships are the most uplifting.

Romans 16:3 - 5 says, “Greet Priscilla & Aquila and greet the church that is in their house.”

The church is where two or three are gathered together in the name of Jesus.

He says, “there am I in their midst”.

This is an invitation to anyone who would like to fellowship with me at my place.
