A normal vaccine reaction isn't fun, but it usually isn't horrible, and you can plan it for when it works best for you to take a couple of days off to lay on the couch, or at least to not have anything super active planned. The thing about Shingles, aside from hearing that it's usually a very...

I think I would feel claustrophobic to know I can't move forward, backwards, or sideways. Not everyone would feel that way but I sure would. I'm also surprised they don't put a portapotty every half mile or so along the Exodus route to pavement. I know the RVs are pretty self-contained but...

Yes, by the time they were done there was quite a bit of moisture in the pot. In fact it diluted the BBQ sauce a great deal, to where I wished I had saved the BBQ sauce for applying after it was cooked (I did add more after). Will do this again!

I put a package of chicken thighs (wanted legs but this was what I have) into the crockpot straight from frozen, poured some maple BBQ sauce over them and turned it on high. I've done this with whole chickens before with no sauce, just seasoning, and they turned out great. I've done pieces...

I guess it depends on whether he actually contracted it beforehand and was contagious at CC, or whether he caught it there (meaning someone else was contagious and spreading it)

He is definitely worth following on whatever social media you partake in.

Great news! And it reminded me, I should add this bit to my anecdote: The pharmacy where I got the vax is the same pharmacy where I get my other prescriptions, and I am signed up to receive text reminders when my refills are available. When I went to get the shot, I was early and sat waiting...

Ah! Thanks, @Gemmie, for setting me straight about the use of two years in the label. That makes sense. I'm 63, but bottom line I took what my pharmacy had (they told me this was the *only* formulation they had) because I wanted to get it before the ACIP meeting potentially came out with...

I think I would feel claustrophobic as well, even though it seems counterintuitive to feel that way in such a wide open space. Here is a visual to help us imagine. This photo is not from from this year, it's from a 2022 article in the Sacramento Bee (hmm I thought they cancelled in 2021-2022...

I don't attend BM but I do follow it to an extent (I often watch the actual burn via their livestream) since I live relatively nearby and along the route Burners take to get there. And I recall hearing that on the evening of the Man Burn, immediately following the burn IIRC, the wait to leave...

I'm glad to know there is a Pfizer version of the new covid vax. I had my usual unpleasant side effects from the Moderna SpikeVax shot -- a day and a half of slight fever, chills, and general weakness. I'm feeling back to myself tonight, and knew those side effects were likely, a well-accepted...

It was Moderna SpikeVax. They said it was the only formulation they had. I assumed it was the one officially issued for those 65 and over but they had my DOB to see I'm not 65 and they didn't even ask me to affirm I was high risk. The notation says "Rx only" so they apparently prescribed it...

I asked both my local pharmacies if they had the new covid vax available on Tuesday. One said it had been ordered but was still waiting for it to arrive, the other said it had arrived but was only taking appointments, not walk-ins. Their next appointment was this morning at 10am so I grabbed...
