I've Got Mail

 The mailman came a few hours ago, and we got a small package!


Let's open it!


It's the FREE covid tests that the government has been sending out! They said you would get three tests, but the box says there is five of everything. Does that mean there will be two more boxes? I don't know. This is one thing I hope we never have to use.  Have you ordered and gotten any?

I got one box in the mail with four covid tests in it, for free. Ha ha about Walking Dead and no fights over toilet paper. Yes, lean into the good.

We are supposed to receive a set too from our Health Ministry but somehow most of my friends received and I don't know if we will be receiving it or it got lost on the way. Lol!

Ann said...

I ordered them when a girl at work told me about them. I figured since they're free why not.

Rose said...

I have ordered but not received them...

Oh, how I remember when toilet paper was scarce on the shelves. Yes, love and hope still remains. Have a blessed weekend, Ginny.

*here is the recipe for the lasagna soup. She said is was really good. She broke up lasagna noodles since she couldn't find the pasta they mention.

We got ours too, and I sure hope we won't need to use them. Have a great weekend Ginny!

Jeanette said...

We've ordered but have not received them yet! Hopefully we will never have to use them!

A gorgeous blog look today.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm......

Think of the cost of all those *free* tests.

Guess who paid for them?

Uncle Joe??????

Nope. All we citizens who work or are retired, and pay taxes.

Did we order? No!!!!!

Beside a babbling brook... said...

FREEEEEEEEEEE?!?

Are you kidding????

Our taxes paid for them!

Just like every other largess, which the Gov. passes out!

Freeeeeee??????????????

Please remember the facts of life, in any Country.

Gov. gives? NOOOOOO, citizens who work/worked, pay!

Yes I am irritated. Because I am so tired of how Gov. has citizens *bamboozled*.


Grrrrrr.....

Yes, we got ours a couple weeks ago. There is 2 tests per box and I think we got 2 boxes. I put them in the linen closet for if/when we should ever need them. ~Andrea xoxo

These tests are good to have around. My son wne to get tested once, but they just gave him a set of home tests. Turns out he had a common cold, but now-a-days we can't be too sure.

Joanne said...

No we haven't, but we still have one test left over from a few months ago. Covid was so prevalent here that it was impossible to get OTC tests anywhere. I was lucky to get a box.
Hope you never have to use your tests.
Blessings, Joanne

We got ours the day after I paid for one from Amazon! Which I didn't need as the results from the test we took the day before came in just after the results on my 15 minute test! AND the Ivermectin I ordered arrived from Singapore AFTER we were well!

LC said...

Really appreciated those closing lines.

DeniseinVA said...

Great quotes! We received two tests a few days ago. Not sure if we are getting any more.

CheerfulMonk said...

I'm glad they came. We haven't ordered any.

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help ..." truly terrifying concept, haahaa ... NOPE no such thing has landed in my mailbox and if it does, they are going straight into the trash. Sorry not sorry. xoxo
