Re: For those who haven't seen it... this is why I will get my shot, and everyone else should too - Yesterday

QuoteRgrF QuotergG I have seen that. It is very disturbing, but I also wonder if most people will heal. Smoker's lungs heal, if they quit soon enough. Lungs of smokers don't usually heal they become reduced capacity. I thought I had heard that after about 20 years of not smoking, that a smoker's lungs don’t look much different from a non-smoker. Maybe I am mistaken.

I would appreciate a noise, too. There are several electric cars in my walking area that have scared the crap out of me, coming up behind me, and you can't hear them. They are going slow and it would be very easy to accidentally walk right in from of them.

Re: Another mom question.... mirroring iPad on TV. - Yesterday

I have a chromecast attached to my TV so that I can cast from my iPad to my TV. I would think that Discovery + could be cast to her TV. Is there an App for D+? It would require her to switch inputs to whichever HDMI port the Chromecast is plugged into. The CC is just a dongle that hangs off the back of the YV, so no wires to trip over.

QuoteDon C So 17 Republicans have to join all 50 Democrats. We know that some are ready to do that. Do we know how many? Of course after Rudy makes his case, maybe some will just out of embarrassment. Should we start a go-fund-me to buy new hair dye? I have read that it just has to be 2/3 of the Senators who are present, so that could give some rebublicans a way out, just don’t show up

QuoteLemon Drop Congrats!! My Mom just said let's stop by Total Wine and get some champagne after the shots. That's the kind of side effects I like. Maybe I need to hit Costco on the way home and get that bottle of Amaretto I have been wanting. My mom would be wanting a pack of those Magnum Chocolate Ice Cream bars.

People are refreshing web pages and apps like it’s TicketMaster when Beyoncé comes to town.

Re: We have vaccine appointments!!! - 3 days ago

QuoteMichael We got appointments the day they opened the online reservation for next Friday. Then next day the system crashed for a week and they went telephone appointments only. They are saying we have to call back after the first appointment to make the second one. It will be interesting to see if they've figured out just how incredibly inefficient it is to have people call back while others a

Re: We have vaccine appointments!!! - 3 days ago

QuoteDon C It's a good feeling to have those reservations; not as good as when we get the second shot, of course. Wife and I have appointments on two different dates but the hospital is less than a mile and a quarter away. We pass it going to the grocery store so not as inconvenient as for you. Wonder how folks not technically inclined will get included. Or for that matter would those folk

We have vaccine appointments!!! - 3 days ago

My husband and I have jab appointments for next week. I was stressed and I was having to do it very quickly so I accidentally made the appointments for two different days, one is next Thursday and one is next Friday. I am going to try and whine for them to give me my shot on Thursday, if they will. If not I guess we will be going back. Wouldn’t be a big deal, except I had to make it in Dougl

QuoteLemon Drop Yay!! Congrats. My mom has an appointment Tuesday, me Thursday for first shots. Weird process. Got a smart form from local hospital wait list, it went to the CDC, got the VAMS registration form the next day, which connected us to open appointments at a hospital n the county next door.

Re: My mom has her first shot appointment!!! - 3 days ago

QuoteLemon Drop Quotedavester Is this 100% an old folks forum now? Is there anybody not qualified to receive the vaccine (i.e. under 65) here? I am under 65. I qualified because I live with and support my elderly Mom. Others here are health care workers. I am also under 65, just barely, lol, 64, but I qualify as my husband's caregiver.

My 89 year old mom was finally able to get scheduled for her first C-19 vaccine. She had to go about it the old fashioned way of calling the health department, leave a message, and wait for them to call her back, but at least she has an appointment for next Tuesday. I had tried to sign her up online, but they did not have online scheduling for her county. I am still working on getting my

So sorry. Years ago we had a long drawn out incident with the IRS. It took hours and hours on the phone with them to get it sorted out. It was awful. I finally got one lady who literally went into a stack of papers and made it happen. Till that, it was nothing but a runaround. I hope it works out quickly for you. Fingers crossed.
