At Walmart this afternoon, LOL

I was shopping in the pharmacy area and this older gentleman was sitting down after getting his
covid shot and we happened to make eye contact and he asked me if I had the latest, replied yes
and then he said "I've been putting off getting it but figured I better before Kennedy makes it illegal
next week" LOL

Wound up talking about how terrible tsf is going to be for this country.

2. I did not think of that

But at my VA visit Thursday the nurse offered and I said hell yes. I have had them all, but last night my arm and shoulder hurt like hell. All my joints hurt and I was nauseous with a fever through the night.
First time I had side effects, but damn glad I got it, especially after your post about it may be stripped from us.
I think the tracing chips may were bigger now for wider tracking abilities. 😉

gardening chores start soon, and that third arm would be very useful.

I skipped a few of them also, but the most recent one should be enough to keep us out of the hospital or the morgue.

impetus, the reign of terror and insanity about to begin. Was in walmart, immediately went to the pharmacy, they handed me some forms, and I was done. Whole thing took maybe 10 or 12 minutes. I continued with my shopping, went home. No side effects, as per usual. But at least that is covered for a few months, before brainworm bob and company screw everything up, AGAIN.

The young man was nice and I'm quite the talkitive one. I said, "figure I better get this before the dumbass shitbags take control." He said, "It's ok sir. Only the smart people get vaccinated."

That just made me feel good.

8. I was UTD on that one but had others today

Figuring I'm going to get every possible vaccine.

CVS is actually doing an outreach program right now, calling customers who may need/be eligible for this or that.

I wondered if it was related to current affairs. CVS isn't my regular pharmacy but I do go there for covid, etc. I was getting calls from them on my cell and ignoring them because I thought they were scams -- we had been getting a lot of offshore call center -sounding calls on our landline purporting to be "from your CVS pharmacy". When they left a voicemail, I did call back but gave up when I discovered it was impossible to get a human. By a sheer fluke, I answered yet another call from them last week.

I didn't think twice. Shingles, etc was on my list anyway. I said, "sign me up."

In case he does, you know, make it all illegal.

There's nothing like impending doom to motivate.
