<2023-05-01T22:18:06.000Z> strongerthanyou: its true but its a funny anecdote i feel i have to tell you as i thought you get a smile out of it
<2023-05-01T22:26:24.000Z> strongerthanyou: i got covid. i was sick for 4 hours and then no more sick, but it got in my lungs and set up shop there. i smoked a pack a day when i was young so that probably didn't help me all these years later. so i was absolutely fine except the lungs, that was tuesday. no big deal, i think of myself as tougher than i really am, and that usually carries me thru minor illnesses. friday i was listening to one of your streams and started laughing my arse off only to find i couldn't breathe. i couldn't get my breath back. it was only for about one or two minutes but i couldn't breathe and it was terrifying in a way that stays with you. looking back i realise i was in more trouble than i thought i was at the time. i have an apple watch that takes blood oxygen readings so i decided to ride it out without seeking medical attention, and it was fine. my lungs aren't what they were before but they'll get there in the long run. so the only time i was in trouble with covid was due to YOU, funny internet man. 
<2023-05-01T22:30:55.000Z> strongerthanyou: thank you for everything. you are already sorely missed. your streams were the only good thing on the internet. everyone else takes everything so seriously, its moronic. but you weren't the last cool kid on the internet, you were the only cool kid on the internet. all my love to you and your wife, from melbourne australia. thank you, mr jim.                                                                  *vaya con ronnie james dios!* - i love that joke ☻
