Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Can you sign up for more than one location?
People do that here. They take first available.
They are asked to cancel the others.
Sometimes they do, other times not.
Then they have to find others to receive the vaccine which isn’t an issue unless it’s near closing time.
Most of the 80+ group who want it have received their first dose of Pfizer, we have only recently opened that tier up for those 70+ (65+ in some places) and other identified high risk groups.
I am a news junkie and I like to check the BBC, ABC, Al Jazzera for different perspectives. And of course MSN likes to try to shove American news down our throats on their platform.
I hope that you are able to get your shot soon!
I would take the first available vaccine.
So true. I believe that Astra even said the blood clots may or may not be related to the vaccine. Who knows, right?
I got the Moderna. No issues except sore arm.
Restrictions are letting up here.
If you are interested, EU and UK regulatory authorities are giving an update later on today about the AZ jab and any potential side effects.
Since we’re just starting to emerge cautiously from a 3 month lockdown, it’s hard to see whether the dramatic reduction in UK hospitalisations and deaths are purely linked to the lockdown, or to the vaccination programme as well, but early indications are that the jab is doing its job. It’s reducing the number of cases through the protection it offers, reducing person to person transmission of the virus, and virtually eliminating serious illness, hospitalisation and death amongst those who might still get the virus after the jab.
Do they still have age restrictions on Astra?
Did you get your shot yet?
Certainly better than wasting the shot, even if there are age restrictions.
I know people that refuse to take any vaccine. They are afraid and no one can convince them.
I would be more afraid of getting Covid, than enduring the side effects.
Yes, there is Johnson and Johnson, only one shot. It’s supposed to be slightly less effective.
There was an issue with Astra in younger people (under 60), it was causing blood clots. I don’t know if it’s still like that.

There is someone, or something at the door.
All the dogs in the neighborhood are barking.

Coronal mass ejections can be dangerous when they hit the Earth. CME's can seriously disrupt the Earth's environment. Intense radiation from the Sun, which arrives only 8 minutes after being released, can alter the Earth's outer atmosphere, disrupting long-distance radio communications, earth's electrical grid, and sensitive person's health: heart and emotions.
This event is not expected to be a direct hit on the earth's atmosphere.
Disclaimer: Difficulty wording this, don't know too much about these things.
So absent mindedness gets us all Willie. Look for your window box in the least likely place and you might find it. :)
Well, that could be. Things can turn up in odd places. It’s usually because we started doing a project, then get distracted with an interruption and inadvertently place objects in unusual places.
My mom said when my brother was a baby they didn’t sleep for months. She said that daddy was so sleep deprived that he cracked two eggs in a bowl and put them in the kitchen cabinet.
Mom woke up the next morning and got a bowl down to scramble eggs and there were two raw eggs already in the bowl! 😆
Someone must have taken it. I love window boxes.
If you have checked everywhere, what other explanation is there?
Marzipan marble pound cake. 🍰
Tweety went to bed early, and I already had my 5 hours of consecutive sleep.
I don't fight the insomnia anymore, and go to sleep anytime I want.
If I go to bed early, I am awake after 4-5 hours.
And where were those damaging winds predicted also in my area?
It would make a good hobby to make our own greeting cards. Except, after years of e-mail, I no longer have kept track of people's home addresses. 🤦♀️
Happy Birthday CWillie!
The forecast was for damaging winds overnight (although I didn't notice anything) so I guess March is in like a Lion and should leave like a Lamb?
(BTW, wasn't it the middle of the night there 3 hours ago, what are you doing up in the middle of the night?)
Especially when I will be busy with bills during the first 3 days of the month.
Hoping for a return to the social formality of mailing out cards to a few people, starting again as a hobby. And the function to complete it. You know, finding the pen, the card, the address, filling it out, sealing without licking the envelope, keeping it nearby to put in the mailbox. Could be a real chore!
I had a video chat with my little great niece this morning for her 1st birthday. She was mostly meh, what's a birthday?? but her big brother was very excited about her balloons! 🎈🎈
