Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
what's new and exciting?
Was back at work yesterday, and now I'm contemplating my next 'stay-cation'. LOL
I'm thinking a week in July. April is too soon, May and June is the busy season, so then July makes the most sense.
I don't remember if I posted this here, so I'll say it now. If I've mentioned this before, sorry for the repeat. My family and I all got our appointments for our first vaccines. My dad and I are going on 03/31/2021. Mom and Chris are the day after, on 4/1. The second vaccine is scheduled for 4/28. :)
Tomorrow should start the work for the "Monster Report" that I have to prepare each month. Oh joy!

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
It was a quiet weekend here this past weekend, and now I'm busy with the Monster report for work, so I've been busy the last few days.
Tomorrow I'm signing off at noon, and then picking up my dad, and the two of us are going for our first Covid jabs. Mom and Chris go for their first jabs ono Thursday.
I need to contact my niece (Shana) I've got a basket for Trenton and a card for her and Derek, and I would like to drop them off before Easter. I'm going to see if they'll be around Friday evening, and drop it by then.
Does anyone have anything else going on?

I'm looking for a vaccine myself. I signed up with some state app that's supposed to alert me if there's one available in my area (like leftover vaccine that would otherwise be thrown out) but I've never heard from it. I tried my usual clinic a couple of days ago but apparently you can only make an appointment on a Thursday or Friday the week before, and they fill up fast. I tried Walgreen's and CVS; both have a list of nearby locations and they all say NO APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE. I tried Walmart, they say I don't qualify.
How do all these people keep getting them? I don't mean your family, Chuck, the fact that you've already had it maybe helps, or that your dad is older. But I see lots of random people on Facebook who've gotten it -- how do they do it? Seems like it would be a full-time job.

This has been my question for, like, forever. I keep running across people, usually from work, who are definitely younger than me, and they've been fully vaccinated. Hunh? How is that? I don't know how they even get an appointment, let alone qualify for vaccination.
Of course, I'm in a living situation where New Jersey seems to have one set of rules, Pennsylvania has another set of rules, and Philadelphia has its own set of rules for qualification. Cross the city line here, and you've got a whole 'nother set of rules for qualification.
Now Joe wants everybody to be able to get an appointment after April 19. Um, Joe, are you kidding? Considering how difficult it is to get an appointment now, what's it going to be like when everybody tries to get an appointment?

Good point!
Here, the governor said anyone over 16 is eligible. But then there are also still supposedly some priority groups -- the usual ones like frontline workers, underlying conditions, etc. But now being over 50 is supposed to be a priority, yet somehow the Walmart's questionnaire doesn't even ask your age. (I've only been in a Walmart a few times decades ago. Now I have even less reason to go.) When even the priority age was people over 65, I knew plenty of people at least slightly younger than that who were getting them.
