You all said you like Skipbo for the kids? I've never played but watched a video on Amazon and it seems.... complicated? So many piles? It is so good for them to learn strategy, it’ll take a couple rounds but I promise it’s good!

jewels if you want to go to the mega site near your work, their appointments for next Sunday will go up at midnight tonight. Auto fill your info, be in the site and hit refresh at midnight. Say you have no insurance, they will add it later. They will be gone in 3-4 minutes. Tomorrow at midnight will be next Monday appointments and so on.

I got my ass kicked in poker. Couldn't get good cards all night. I won 2 hands in 3 hours.

jewels I think since you qualify now that you should go. Everyone who has it helps the overall community. Hopefully things will speed up now that more mass sites are up too. If I get it, I likely won't post anything about it until later since I don't have an obvious reason why I qualify. My coworker was invited from a hospital system and she was laughing bc she wasn't sure if it was bc they had her surgery history or her BMI on record...but she also didn't care and was happy to be invited.

Team don't feel guilt about getting the vaccine. It contributes to herd immunity. We all need to get it eventually and the logistics are tough so any numbers on the done side are good numbers. From the sound of it the supply will increase greatly in the next two months.

I’ve been feeling guilty about the possible vaccine for days. My coworker opted out ‘because they’re others who need it more’, which of course is true, but me opting out isn’t going to help get my parents any faster... so I’m glad to have you girls.

Teachers will not get the vaccine sooner over here. Dh is teacher in person full time, most students only wear masks in the hallway, it’s not mandatory elsewhere. He provides his own sanitation stuff. It’s ridiculous.

guster I haven’t booked the appt yet but I am eligible. Now it’s just time to scour websites kim22 I’ve been reading crazy stories about the place by my work - people waiting in line hours. Is that where you went? How was it? I’ve been looking to see if I can get an appt at a cvs or shop rite so far but if I can’t, I’ll look at the mega sites

My grandpa passed away an hour ago. It was sudden, but not unexpected given he was 94. It’s the third partner my grandma has lost, I cannot even imagine.

jewels that is where I went. My parents, FIL, sister and most of my parents friends have also gone there. The only ones that had issues were my parents at their second dose had a wait because it was a day a snowstorm hit and they were closing at 10 but they announced anyone who showed up before that could get it before they closed so it got crazy. Then my FIL went last week for his second dose and their computers had gone down so he waited about an hour. Apparently people were showing up any time they wanted so now they have someone outside not letting you in until 15 minutes before your scheduled time. I got on line at 4:25 for my 4:30 and I was back in my car at 5:30 but I also had to wait 30 minutes instead of 15 after my shot because I am allergic to penicillin. The only thing I didn’t love was there were a lot of people in there, more people than I have been around in a year. They have had only Pfizer but will be adding J&J next week. I don’t know how they will decide who gets what going forward.

I'm so sorry nam2013, thinking of your family. I also think you should get the vaccine, with your h in school and not able to get it yet, you should protect yourself and family. Yes risk is low for us, but it's not zero and and we have little kids that need us. And the ability to pass on antibodies to the baby...I'm grouch k weaned a few weeks ago, I was holding on in hopes to do that.

Lounging at home today. I have 8 loads of laundry and some paperwork to do. A vacuumed the whole house while I showered yesterday and I had already cleaned the bathrooms. So I just need to do the kitchen. My floors desperately need mopped.

It's A's 3rd birthday! He doesn't get it but we are having fun! He loved donuts for breakfast and is terrified of his ride on airplane we got him.

nam2013 sorry about the loss of your grandpa. Even when you are expecting it, its still hard. wineallthetime Happy Birthday to A! Team get the vaccine. After the stress of waiting for Hs results, which were negative, it would be nice to have 1 less thing to stress over.

Shot #1 done.
Now I just wait the obligatory 15 minutes. I did bring my epi pen just in case.

Guys don’t feel guilty about getting vaccinated ahead of others. I felt guilty as well and then it was pointed out that any person vaccinated is one less person that can pass it on to someone who may get very sick from it. We all play a part in the bigger picture. The recommendation from our epidemiologist our work consults with is take a vaccine as soon as it is offered.
