Vaccine
-
Got mine scheduled for Friday! Have to drive 40ish minutes each way but I’m happy I can get immunity by mid-April.
-
My wife gets Pfeizer shot #1 tomorrow. (KU)
Me:
-
I feel you, man. I think I’m technically considered Phase 6 - “leftovers”.
-
There are a lot of places that you can get a vaccine no matter what age and or phase you are in. Just depends how hard you are looking. I know the Leavenworth Health department is hosting a mass vac site tomorrow that is first come first serve. There are a ton of places that have wait lists for unused doses. There was a local pharmacy in Leawood that got 5,000 doses that were first come first serve. So if you want to get the shot you can get it.

Wouldn’t u be in there, some where?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I read that this morning…opening up for phases 3-4. Pretty sure I’m in phase 6 (55, work from home, healthy enough).
I’m kind of curious though about the supposed “absolutely anyone first-come first-served” events. Every place I checked still follows the state-wide phases.
-
Got my first Moderna shot today. I’m just achy enough to notice it. Get the last one in 4 weeks!
-
@DanR get your name on every list! Pharmacies, etc. I got called early cause of weather. There’s still a lot of people that won’t get it. Sorry, but drives me nuts. Saw my Lawrence gkids sun. Good feeling you can unmask with other vaccinated people. Can’t understand why people would be so selfish!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 technically we can unmask with other unvaccinated people but my feeling is we shouldn’t because we can still transmit the disease? Until everyone has available vaccine i wont unmask indoors around people i dont live with. Easy for me to say since i will probably be last to get it
-
Patiently (sort of) waited for my turn. Kansas opened up for anyone over 16 (woo-hoo, that’s me), and I got online early in the morning and nabbed a spot for my first jab of the vaccine I can’t spell that starts with some combination of PFHZR on April 1 at a CVS four blocks from my house, no joke.
All I’m saying is, there are a couple brew pubs and one particular Mexican restaurant in Lawrence that are going to get their sugar daddy back pretty soon.
-
I believe in mandatory vacations for everyone.
-
@DanR was just in Lawrence last weekend. Ate at the new sandwich place on mass, latchkey I think. Pretty good. I had not been there for over a year.
-
@wissox Well, vaccinations do take the “cin” out of vacations! If that’s a good thing.
@Crimsonorblue22 One of several new places we’re going to try! Didn’t want my first impression of the new restaurants to be from take-out. (We’ve done quite a bit of takeout) I’m just so tired of my own food… and dishes.
-

Too early for this I think. Not approved for use in kids and we still don’t know the long term effects of the mRNA tech. I clearly think it’s the smart thing to do! But I’m not for mandating anything yet. Persuasion might be more effective anyhow.
-
@FarmerJayhawk We’ll put you down as “anti-vacation” then.
-
@DanR ugh fiiiiiine clutches vaccine card like it’s my child
-
@DanR we did take out.

-
@FarmerJayhawk you can get them laminated free at staples and ? I forgot. Don’t post them, everybody!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Office Depot I think? I’m getting mine framed after I get the second shot
-
@FarmerJayhawk don’t forget to report side effects.
-
Is spelling a side effect? I need to know before I go out in pubic.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Vaccine:
@FarmerJayhawk don’t forget to report side effects.
Will do! I’m anticipating it’s not gonna be fun
-
@DanR you report too!
-
I sometimes carry a bag of dog poop around in my sweatshirt pocket for a couple miles on a morning walk with my dog, so I’m not sure if I will be the right person to report side effects from anything
-
@DanR I’m assuming you don’t start out with the bag full?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 for a minute I thought you were asking if the bag was half full, like if he was an optimist.
-
@approxinfinity I thought she was asking if he had any wool!
-
I’m guess it’s time for their report.️️
-
Forgot to report back! Got Moderna #2 last Friday. Saturday felt like I got hit by a bus. Woke up in the middle of the night with chills, was pretty achy and ran a 101 fever Saturday. But! Was totally fine and resumed my regular running schedule Sunday.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Well that’s something to look forward to in a couple weeks.
-
@FarmerJayhawk exactly like mine. My fever wasn’t that high.
-
I got my 2nd moderna shot three weeks ago. Was a little tired for a few days, otherwise fine.
-
Got my 2nd shot on Friday and feel perfectly fine. Other than, and this is weird, my arm pit hurts. I looked it up and apparently it’s pretty common to have swollen lymph nodes as a side effect. Just thought I’d share.
-
@rockchalkwyo they tell women not to get mammograms for awhile because of that. Such a wide variety of side effects. Glad you didn’t have the chills, fever and aches!
-
My “friend” that has totally different views on everything than me, decided not to get the vaccine. She’s in the gma age zone. This past mon she got sick, fever, chills aches, vomiting, constant fatigue. Tested positive. Her husband neg. although he tested at the same time. They had been at her daughters, family of 5, 3 lil kids. She had gone to church sun, no mask, went to an unmarried pg group at church, unmasked, sun. Told me she hugged one gal. Makes me furious! Prolife huh? I say selfish and stupid! They all had to get tested. Haven’t heard about that. She hated to tell me. I couldn’t live with myself if I gave it to somebody. I’m done griping.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Vaccine:
I’m done griping.
I will happily continue griping loud and long for you about such dolts!
-
@mayjay today she sent me a pic of her husband w/a new pup. I asked by text if qt was over. She called and said he had picked him up outside and told the guy he was qt’d, he was fine w/it. She’s so dumb to tell me.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 It has been nice realizing I have distanced myself from most of the nitwits I used to come across daily. Moving gives you a chance to select a new group of friends!

Not only avoiding nitwits. Moving can often give you an entirely new life perspective.
-
@Marco Seeing alligators every day certainly helps with that, too.
-
@mayjay and they even taste good, if done in a good place.
-
@rockchalkwyo I didnt feel bad until 24 hours later.
@Crimsonorblue22 Its unbelievable. When I think about this it reminds me of the people who planned a Hurricane Camille party in a seaside house and got swept away.
-
@mayjay and they even taste good, if done in a good place.
They feel the same about us, interestingly enough.
-
Got my second Pfizer shot last Thursday morning at CVS. No side effects at all. Now this pollen on the other hand…
-
My forehead temperature was 94.6 when I checked in at CVS. The volunteer gal giggled and said, “if that’s your liver temp, you’ve been dead for about 6 hours.”
And we all had a good hard laugh while I checked for my pulse.
-
@DanR Any chance you are in the vanguard of the Zombie Apocalypse and don’t know it?
-
Maybe you can recruit for us from the other side. See if you can talk Wilt into returning…
-
I’ve had my second vaccination shot now and happy to report no aperent siide efveks.

@drgnslayr nothing strong coffee can’t fix.
