Have a great night Duck. Goodnight Surfcaster! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duck Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I just came home from the grocery store. Everything is so expensive. The root of my shoulder blade is hurting. First it was the right side one. Now it’s the left side one. I don’t understand why this is happening. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sober4life Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 We're hurting from all the snow shoveling @duckI learned my lesson after last year though. I used to shovel every speck of snow and it about killed me. I don't do that anymore. I make it so I can get out of here and I don't care about the rest. The porches? It's actually better to keep the snow on them so nobody wants to come in here.🤔 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightjar Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I just had my second ever covid jab 🤔 Thought it might be helpful in my attempt to rejoin the human race......Dunno how that's gonna work out though lol 😅 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 3 shots now. I'm going to get the covid shot and the flu shot every year. How does someone think all of this has affected me? I was afraid of people before. Now I feel the same way with people as I do with poison ivy. I'm afraid to even touch them or be anywhere near them.

Nightjar Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 So I just got locked in the park!! 🤦 I stumbled across some refugees from Russia in there who were also locked in ....And then we were rescued (helped over the wall) by two Ukrainian refugees. ...Oh, and there was a rabbit along for the ride. You couldn't make it up 🐰 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done on getting your jabs done. You're one ahead of me. It wasn't easy for me to go in and get mine either. The first one was in a place I couldn't reach due to driving anxiety and then they just stopped calling me in for them. I scheduled my own appointments when I found somewhere I could get to 🤔 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're short on space I guess, so parks can be quite small and walled in. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've received all the jabs out there except for this most recent one, this one I've been seeing way too many scary side effects for people my age from them and I'm just not going there this time, especially after just having covid my immunity has to still be good, i hope, now the flu shot I've always received and will do so again next week. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parks here are all government parks. If they put up a wall they wouldn't be able to hand out fines to people for sneaking into the parks. Plus like I said it's a government park which means they get money from taxes and charge 10 dollars to get in and charge to rent boats and rent cabins and charge people to park their campers there and they charge 3 times as much for everything at their stores and gift shops and at the year throw up their hands and say they have no money to make improvements and they beg for more money. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard comments from people I know. You're the most paranoid person on earth and you got the shots! Yep I'm the outsider that wants to go unnoticed and fly under the radar so to speak. I'm not sure it has anything to do with any of my beliefs. I play just enough of "the game" in this life so I can fade into the background. Years down the road when people ask themselves what I was doing during these times nobody will even have an answer and that's how I like it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to remember anything I practice at all. Practicing will just make me a nervous wreck. If I have to speak about something I can't go in and wing it it's not something I should be talking about in front of a large audience and it's not the audience I should have in my life anyway. That's actually not a bad idea, though I tend to have a "freezing" problem at the beginning if I don't practice at least the opening. If I can get that on autopilot, the rest follows naturally. I'm apparently not alone with the freezing... there are videos of presenters going up on stage, getting ready to speak, but then simply walking off. The same goes for piano players and other performers. Better just to walk off than to try winging it in such cases... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of the shots, the government doesn't seem to offer clear guidance as to what to do if you caught COVID. I have absolutely no idea whether or not to get whichever booster happens to be recommended at this juncture 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
