@Blake Kensington Thanks Blake, that is great to hear!

@Mrs. WorryMonster Hello Mrs. WorryMonster! I am just seeing these replies, sorry it took so long to reply. My brain isn't as snappy as it used to be, Sometimes it feels like it is stuck in the mud or something. It is hard to explain, but it is like there is barrier between the beginning of a thought and the completion of it. Thanks for asking 😊 By the way, I really love your name and profile pic.

@Blake Kensington Hi Blake, sorry it took me a while to reply, I am just seeing these. I am aware of the chances of never getting my smell back, but I thank you for sharing the info. It is frustrating, but I do occasionally catch a whiff of something now, which gives me hope. If I try to smell something though, it doesn't work. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness, I appreciate it. 😊

That was a pick me up, Thank you.

I caught Covid in December in spite of being vaxxed and boosted. It was a mild case, but I still can't smell, food tastes bland and my brain doesn't work quite the same. It was frustrating because I have been a stickler about masking and social distancing, but at least I was vaxxed so I live to tell the tale.

Below is a link to the literacy rate of Americans. 52% of Americans cannot read a book at the 8th grade level. [ 4% non-literate, 14% below basic literacy, 34% basic literacy ] " But most cannot identify the link leading to the organization’s phone number from a website with several links, including “contact us” and “FAQ.” This is a real problem considering many get their disinfo from the web. They aren't capable of following information or tracking down sources. https://www.wyliecomm.com/2021/08/whats-the-latest-u-s-literacy-rate/ Many people are just overwhelmed with the process of evaluating information. It's a real shame. It is an impediment to living a good life.

Interesting. He also did time for defrauding all kinds of people before he found a better way to steal money by using religion.
