I've heard the 2nd Moderna shot hits people a little worse than the 2nd Pfizer shot @viva923 Your beloved has one heck of a constitution if he didn't feel it My eldest niece (just turned 41) had the 2 Pfizer shots and the 2nd one gave her a fever of 102 the entire next day. She said she felt kind of wrung out the day after the fever but she's thrilled to be vaccinated.

Back when they were talking about the Johnson and Johnson vaccine being less effective than the first two my sister asked me, would you take the Johnson and Johnson one. I said, let me read up on it so I can see what it's made of (Pfizer and Moderna are based off of mRNA technology). I read up on it and told my sister, yea, if the J&J shot becomes available to me at my age before the other two, I'll take it.

This is how I look at it. We're all a continuation of a clinical trial, hence the emergency use authorization. Even the so called 'better vaccines' are 95% effective from what they know so far. For all I know I could be in the 5% of the population that could get that shot and my body could say, meh big deal and I could pee it out.

There is an old saying from the elders of my youth "A half a loaf of bread is better than none". Now, back then they were talking about potential husbands but I'm gonna use the saying for the coronavirus vaccine.

I'd rather have some kind of protection than no kind of protection.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

reading about triglycerides, i have had BAD BAD BAD triglycerides since early 80's. When is was younger i didn't care how high those triglycerides where, now i wish i had paid attention. I am paying for it now. I am taking cholesterol meds for many years now, i have to eat homemade oatmeal daily to help keep my triglycerides/ cholesterol in semi check. No sugar,no milk, just water 2 bananas a day with my oatmeal a day. I can't do any soda, alcohol, dressings/mayo,butter, you name it nothing. I just eat everything plain Jane it helps somewhat but still have to be so darn careful.

got a call from walgreens today, dh and I registered with them way back in earlier part of Jan when shots were being talked about,this is an old store so they didn't even have a computer for taking down phone #'s just a spiral notebook, we gave them our phone to call if they got any covid shots stuff in. They called today,they had the Moderna shots available today. I screamed YES YES YES, we will be right over,we live less than 2 minutes from that store. Dh and I flew up to the walgreen we got both our 2nd shots in 28 day time limit. Wow just shocked to say the least .

not much else guys later

@viva923 Speaking of oatmeal, I make a batch, a week or so supply, on the range, then refrigerate it so I don't have to fix it every day, DH also eats it, but only a few times a week, used to every day. I eat mine with blueberries, bananas, sometimes both, but I have discovered something else that is very good.

I cut apples in half, make quite a few so I don't have to fix every day, coat raisins with cinnamon, then sprinkle over the apples, cover with lid or cellophane, and microwave until as cooked as I like them. I happen to love raisins, but not everyone does, so these can be eliminated, that way no sugar except what is natural to any fruit.
