Well, I just got done at West Park Urgent Care, and I have some good news. I tested negative for both the flu and the Coof, and I've lost another 3 lbs.. That means I'm now 287 lbs. - a 73-lb. loss - and I'm not contagious.
The doctor checked me out after the tests were done, and my lungs are clear, my heart is good, and I have no swelling in my glands. I just have body aches, a screaming headache, and postnasal drip, and he told me to take some Tylenol, close my blinds, and get some rest when I get home. And I fully intend to do just that.
Now I'm home, and I just had one of my meal prep bowls of vegetable beef soup for lunch. And I have my blinds closed and will be taking my meds and some Tylenol in a few minutes, and I'm going to rest this afternoon and go to bed early tonight. But don't worry. I'll catch The Five and GUTFELD! when I get up in the morning, before I go to PSR.
And now, with another Jericho Cruise video to follow...
Today is Monday, March 3rd, and our fearless...
Chris @GGsister2 gifted me the Giadzy sauce for my bday, so the meatballs basically made themselves. 😂 What’s something someone bought you that inspired a great meal—or a spectacular kitchen fail?
P.S. it's not my birthday. I just took a while to use my sister's birthday gift.
Congratulations to @Frenchi. Your question was chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.

What person did you realize that you totally misjudged after meeting them?
What is something stupid you did as a teenager that still scares you when you think about it?
Back from my trip to VA and I have a Miles update. Our little heart warrior is still fighting and has overcome another hurdle! His breathing challenge was caused by a mild mid-tracheal stenosis resulting from his previous prolonged intubation. Thankfully, it was treated with balloon dilation, and Miles continues to fight his way forward. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for Miles and cheering him on. Please keep those prayers coming! Our little warrior still has a battle ahead, but he continues to show us just how strong he is. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

NATIONAL NAVAJO CODE TALKERS DAY
Each year on August 14, National Navajo Code Talkers Day honors the contributions of the Native Americans who brought their unique abilities to the World War II effort. The day also highlights their impact on U.S. code and the Native American language that made it possible.
#NavajoCodeTalkersDay
While code talkers were instrumental during World War II, the United States military used the Native American language in their coded messages before. During World War I, the Choctaw tribe's language was called upon to relate coded messages.
One member integral in creating the military code was Philip Johnston. While he was not Navajo, Johnston did speak the language fluently. He also recruited the native speakers necessary to the Code Talker's success.
Initially, there were 29 Code Talkers, including Charlie Sosie Begay, Roy Begay, Samuel H. Begay, Eugene Crawford, Oscar Ilthma, and Lloyd Oliver, to name a few. However, that number would grow. Until 1968, the program remained ...
