Deep thoughts - Friend, Male, from Amsterdam

As a restless workaholic learning to live again: I should have taken more breaks. More music is needed... Dec 5, 2023 at 3:28 PM

        A little jail time might help some of them develop the necessary patience. Natan Sharansky said it helped him learn to brush his teeth properly (though it did give him a heart condition). And Chiba Sensei once yelled at a student: "Learn to block or I'll kill you [by accident]! I am not afraid of prison! Prison is a *great* place to practice aikido!"

        All my years being a good Christian laid the foundation for much of my discipline. After that my love for martial arts. I am not fond of religion, grateful for all the years of preparation though.

      Bought the Seiko SRPD55K1. Seiko actually improved the bracelet. I still prefer natos or tropical straps. The drilled holes are a nice plus.

        I've heard from realtors that N Texas is the #1 California expatriate area in the country.

        So prices are through the roof here. I hear stories of people getting $50-100k over ask, no contingency. Sometimes waiver of inspection.

        My wife (an MD) has seen a marked difference in clinic with omicron between mRNA vaxxed, J&J vaxxed and unvaxxed. Unvaxxed have had way worse symptoms, J&J has been almost as bad as unvaxxed and mRNA vaxxed are almost all very mild. That is her firsthand observation.

        @DigMe thanks, it's good to hear on the ground reports. I'm boosted on Pfizer, but clinically vulnerable. I've kept informed via research papers and following a few epidemiologists with a good track record. However I'm now faced with either shielding alone for an endless duration, or mitigate where poss., enforce FFP3/N95 mask usage, hope there are no escape variants, and roll the dice.

        I didn't trust it to hold during the trough before Delta. My wife, a Mistress of Public Health, thought I was nuts when I insisted on masks. I'm sticking with that till the Israelis give the O.K. When you're attacked for 70+ years, you get good at war and medicine.
