I’m deactivating my account November 15th. Twitter really helped me through the pandemic and my transition after the divorce. Thanks to all the very kind people I’ve interacted with on the platform. Maybe I’ll meet you at the jubilee !

@AliVelshi Thanks for that great segment on The Palestinians! Nicely done. I’m leaving Twitter and wanted to express my appreciation for your more international take on the world. I’ll still be watching you & @SRuhle talk money & the economy. 🖖
Mummy was out of isolation on Wednesday. A bit disoriented, but recovering.

My Mom has Covid. She’s 96 & on oxygen. My Dad did not do well after having it & died 4 months later. I’m terrified.

Thanks Peter! She’s out and very happy to be back in her room. She didn’t go over to Thanksgiving w/my brothers but they did see her that day. I’ll see her in mid-December as overlapping with the boys would be too stressful for all.
My Mother’s brother just died. She’s taking it pretty well.

Thanks everyone! I’m so very appreciative.😘 She’s holding her own, but stuck in a sparely furnished room-because it’s cleanable-is pretty miserable. Hopefully out this week. Someone brilliantly gave her an amaryllis bulb that she can look forward to blooming around Christmas.

Really! One of my brothers arranged for her remaining sibling- my Aunt Elizabeth- to have a Zoom with her the day after she got sprung from isolation. Word of the month: Endure.
I’m so sorry to hear.

Longevity is a good thing. It means you'll be around for a long time too.

I will take what I can get. I have two sayings about aging: After 50 it’s an endurance contest. Aging is not for the faint of heart.

My Dad was 94 when he died last year, 4 months after silent Covid & a series of illnesses including a TIA. My Mom is now 96 - she’s a twice cancer survivor including a mastectomy, macular degeneration, mobility issues & requires oxygen. He died just after their 69th.

So sorry to hear that! I have a mother-in-law I'm still close to, 86 & anti-vax, my son's a biologist, and can't talk to her... just a matter of time here. Hang in there, she may pull through...

Oh that’s hard to hear. You’d hope she’d be more open to her grandson. My Mom is fully up to date thank goodness, as am I. I’m speaking with her daily and I can hear the congestion & coughing. She’s still making sense which is a very good sign I think.
Me too. 🫤 The stats of complications & death w/in 6 mo of infection are quite grim in the 65+ groups, let alone the super-aged. A bright note - my daughter just got her transfer to Biochemistry at her 1st choice NE school accepted; going back in Jan & staying East.
They have a mask mandate in assisted living and that section of the place for everyone walking around the halls. But they all eat together as a floor, and I suspect that’s when it spread as she’s not the only one with Covid out of less than 30 there. It’s a hard balance to get.

I believe it’s actually illegal. I’d call him out on it though, with witnesses. Decency has to start somewhere
