TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Still not feeling the best, but I took an extra-strength anti-nausea pill. It has gotten me through this part of the morning feeling stable enough to do my morning thing. I am so looking forward to being normal again and getting up when the sun comes up; that's the best part of the day. The silence of the early morning is golden.

So far, I have gotten through this part of the morning without vomiting. I do believe I have a mild case of the flu, which is causing the GERD to flare up. I think I caught it in one of those butthole crowded waiting rooms at the doctor's office. If I didn't have to see doctors during Bug Season, it would make it much easier to deal with my GERD without catching an effing bug. Again, like I have said on other occasions, if it's minor, get over-the-counter pain relievers and stay home. I see my doctor only when it's severe enough and persistent enough that I require a doctor's advice.

BUG SEASON - H2N2 & COVID 19

My Personal Advice:

IF YOU LIVE IN ONTARIO 🍁

I see a doctor only if I need to see one, like if I'm seriously ill, need a prescription change, or have follow-ups. As for updates and checkups, I got that situation under control with my physician. Updates and checkups every six months during the warmer weather, when the bug is minimal. I get blood tests done at home. I pay the fee for in-home service. Otherwise, I avoid those tiny bug-infested rooms like they were a BUG CHAMBER!

Changing rooms, washrooms, eye doctors, dentists, motor vehicles offices, insurance companies, banks, etc., little rooms you can't hardly breathe in unless you inhale a whole colony of bugs, even with a mask on, I know I caught it twice while wearing a mask. Bug Chambers <- How more fitting a description: to avoid like the plague, literally. My only advice is: **avoid** whatever needs a lot of sitting around and waiting, in those bug-infested waiting rooms. Try to get that paperwork done during the warmer months, when everything is well ventilated and there are fewer bugs, or do it online if you can.

It's like they are giving out the COVID-19 and the flu bug like giving out candy to kids. Again, I must suggest that you get your SHOTS before the bug seasons, or as soon as they are available. That is the safest and fastest way to protect yourself during each season. My best advice, unless it's serious, STAY AWAY FROM DOCTORS' OFFICES or other tiny rooms DURING BUG SEASON unless you TEST POSITIVE for the Covid-19 bug, then, first, call your pharmacy and order some Paxlovid. You should be able to get it delivered to your home if you're sick in bed.

It might be a good idea to allow anti-vaxxers to live together in their own communities to curb the spread of COVID-19 and the flu. That won't happen, so strict avoidance of "Buggy People" who don't believe the bug exists or will not take a vaccine is a good idea. Tough luck if you get the bug and didn't get a shot, blame it on your own Samurai Dumbness, Dumdum! 🗿 And I don't feel sorry for you or give a damn about you either, as it appears you don't give a 💩 and a half about us either.

Anti-Vaxers,

- Google Search -

The diseases we vaccinate against are not very prevalent, so their children are at minimal risk of contracting them.

"Huh?" "Eh?" "Ha!" "Aha!" "Oh!" "Hein? Bien oui, non?" "чтó?" "Hmm, Vielleicht!" "Aaniin?"etc.

Asked again,

By not getting the shot, you are showing us arrogance and ignorance towards science, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THE DOCTORS, you who are the ones with the IQ of a bunch of maggots. Not to mention the fake science saying they put foreign objects like micro-spyware in vaccines or something to that effect. Then you catch it, and you get sick, and YOU 🫵 don't seem to have any compunction or give a crap about passing it on to us. Well, my dears, Go To HELL! 🔥 👹 And I'll leave that topic at that.

Why crypto is melting down and stocks keep falling

New York

—

Bitcoin and stocks are sliding — and investors say more turbulence could be in store.

US stocks were lower Tuesday, extending a recent tumble. The Dow fell 413 points, or 0.89%. The S&P 500 fell 0.6%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite slid 0.9%. Investors in recent weeks have increasingly shunned risky assets like AI stocks and crypto. Not helping: uncertainty about whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next month. The risk-off attitude is weighing on bitcoin, a highly speculative and volatile investment.

Just six weeks after notching a record high above $126,000, bitcoin has plummeted more than 26%. The cryptocurrency traded just below $93,000 on Tuesday morning, erasing all of its gains this year...

Trump administration latest: House to vote on Epstein files as president hosts Saudi crown prince

What We're Covering

• Epstein vote: The House is gearing up to consider a bipartisan bill during its 2 p.m. ET vote series to compel the DOJ to release all of its case files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a news conference today, GOP Reps. Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene urged the House to advance the legislation as Epstein abuse survivors shared their stories. If the measure passes, it will still face an uncertain future in the Senate.

• Johnson and Trump express support: House Speaker Mike Johnson said this morning he will support the bill, though he raised concerns with how it is written. This comes after President Donald Trump, in a stark reversal, encouraged House Republicans to vote in favor and said he would sign a measure to release the Epstein files.

• Saudi meeting: Meanwhile, Trump is hosting Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House today. Agreements on artificial intelligence, nuclear energy and defense sales are expected to emerge from the meeting, a senior US administration official said...

FBI and Justice Department struggle to beat back conspiracies their leaders once fanned

When the FBI director came back from Asia touting a major win for the administration’s drug crackdown last week, his victory lap was cut short by yet another development in the Jeffrey Epstein saga.

When Patel took the podium in the White House press briefing room Wednesday, the news of the administration’s efforts to stem fentanyl production — a major priority for the president — took a backseat to headlines about the latest dump of documents by the House Oversight Committee. For Patel and other FBI and Justice officials, the first 10 months in office have featured a series of headaches, with theories once peddled by the president’s loyal supporters-turned-government officials getting in the way of their new priorities.

The FBI declined to comment for this story...

Canadian snowbirds say U.S. politics are ruffling feathers and changing their migration patterns

CBC News visited Florida to speak to snowbirds, politicians and businesses about changing travel trends

The sunny weather. The beach views. The relaxed lifestyle. These are the things that drew Jo-Ann Rowe to South Florida.

When the Toronto woman retired 10 years ago, she started spending her winters in Fort Lauderdale, renting a condo for three months. Being in the United States was familiar for Rowe, whose grandmother was American, and because she’d travelled throughout the U.S. as a young athlete. “It was just gorgeous,” Rowe said of her home away from home, which also became a place of comfort and refuge when her partner died. Friends and connections she had made there eased the pain of her loss...
