I Hate Colds

I've got a cold. I hate colds.

For someone who spends at least two hours a day tasting and smelling things, the diminution of the ability to taste is the cruellest torture. I could embrace the other symptoms of a cold with gay abandon but an olfactory epithelium covered in mucus makes me want to punch walls until my hands fall off. The virus is thought to have been an important cog in the machinery of evolution. 

Today I think evolution is overrated. I’d rather be an amoeba than a brewer with no sense of smell.

One of the things I remember you saying to me was that you hate colds so much that you'd "rather have the squits for week than lose your sense of smell for a day". My sincere commiserations.

Read about grant achatz. A michelin star chef who got cancer of the mouth. It'll put things more in perspective.

RECOVER STOLEN CRYPTO ASSETS-SYNACK HACKERS
The last thing I expected to be able to do was recover a total of $ 57530 USDT lost in my account, but fortunately Synack Hackers, a special team of authorized hackers, came to my aid. I had to seek assistance from the team who were able to regain my account in a matter of 48 hours after it had been lost to an internet imposter who pretended to be a broker and had denied me access for more than a month. They provided amazing services and were a pleasure to work with. Should you require their assistance? Synack Hackers is reachable via [s y n a c k h a c k e r s @ p r o t o n (.) m e ]
