well to be truthful much of the whining about the dangers of vaccine is probably coming from men who have probably given 1 seconds thought to birth...

Indeed. Although the numbers for preventing serious illness are considerably better then even the already good numbers for preventing infection.

Perspective on the blood clot concern.

Boy though does our household ever cater to the immutable will of a dog, when it is identified as immutable. you should’ve seen us dancing around...

Sometime dive buddy has been unemployed since finishing an advanced degree, about six months ago. She is in a very conservative field. Her parents...

It’s interesting how poorly so many of us assess risk. There is a much greater probability of blood clots for users of birth control pills or any...

Pfizer = 95% effectiveness Moderna = 86% effectiveness J&J = 72% effectiveness No one should be surprised by a lack of 100% effectiveness in any...

A customer at work was saying today his mother got the vaccine and afterwards tested positive for covid, so why should he get a vaccine? Two...

Funny! I feel the same way these days and the little dog does not get veto power, not often anyway. ;)

True. Although one will need several decimal places. I’ll take 99.999999% or whatever the actual number is.

I found more kitchen items in a bottom cabinet and asked him if he wanted them. While choosing some he proceeds to tell me that I don’t value...

And here I was just thinking boy I really need to sit down with my electronic contacts file and add tons of stuff to it. I still keep the...

I am laughing here. It’s a little bit sad but mostly not sad!

Not seeing is a wonderful genetic gift!

But it isnt going ro be 100% effective.

Seriously bad reactions to a rushed vaccine? Hyped by the media? I am shocked! Shocked I tell you. (Not) If they were going to stick the J and...

That's right. It's an insanely low risk. However, I read in the NJ online paper that I still get that a man got the J&J vaccine on March 12, was...

DW is much like SQ's DH (enough initials there? ;) ). I am fully convinced that, even if DW sees the mess, her brain spends zero cycles on...

Six cases claimed out of seven million doses administered. I doubt whether the trip to the clinic was less risky.

I’ve always thought meetings were a hard way to arrive at decisions, but an excellent way to protect oneself from accountability and disperse blame...

Got my 2nd Moderna shot yesterday around noon and by the end of my shift (midnight) the side effects hit - couldn't lift my shot arm, achy all over...

I am now retired from decluttering as there’s nothing left that I don’t want. My clutter problem is permanently solved since I decluttered by...

Good progress, folks!

It might eventually get on his radar...47 years of marriage...many things came onto the radar at about 10 years...I am sure there are things he would...

I have now canceled two J & J shots (last one at Costco) after the news of adverse reactions at mass clinics gave me cold feet. I read today that...

Bravo Terry and EJ!

You seem to be moving along quite nicely, accomodating but also MOVING ON! Good for you. I've found choosing my areas that I can do without anyone...

My DH and I just don't have the same standards when it comes to cleaning up in the kitchen. He literally has a mental block about cleaning out the...

When I took classes around the turn of the century, the fad was group projects. Most of us absolutely hated them--I certainly don't want to live in...

I guess it is good I did not get a vaccine yet. I would have gone for the J&J to avoid two trips and now it has been halted because it causes blood...

yes! Haha, and this is the problem. I think of people who gravitate toward these living situations as those people who like meetings and drag them...

Oh, I see. Yeah, I wonder how many "major decisions" need to be made. If it's one a year, like "should we expand our vegetable garden to include...

Sounds like life there would be one long committee meeting.

Jeppy: The site says it is for mass vaccination and regional collaborative locations, but they gave my friend an appointment at a site that was not...

Today the Consumer Price Index was released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CPI-W (all items) is up 3% since March one year ago.

He has handled the last three furnace cleanings and he likes doing it. He feels he has developed a good relationship with the furnace cleaner and...

For a while, it looked ss though I might have not a half brother, but further sleuthing and theorizing has the mystery man as my cousin.

Don't laugh, but I have info for all my contacts written down in a little book, just like people did in the olden days. :)

Jeppy: I think it would be reasonable to book things like the furnace cleanout and then give your son advance notice, e.g. "they are coming to clean...

Perhaps. Although there are several federal government entities that have the relevant skills/knowledge to have pulled this off. Off the top of my...

Catherine: I was referring specifically to the info on their website about the consensus decision making model. It sounds so nice, but as someone...

Our fastest and most efficient vaccine sites is the one run by the National guard. My sister lives in the suburbs of Chicago and said the same thing.

I had a unexpected half sister from England.

Glad you are still making great progress. We made 550 from the sale. Also made another 200 selling furniture items online. We also have been putting...

Ours is 1400 sq ft with a average size yard. It was built in 1950 and the neighborhood is very much in demand. We got 400k. I love the neighborhood...

Casaverde does look like a good combo for co-housing. I wanted to see what the sale price or rent might be but neither is available at this time....

THe issue with those is you'll still have to clear snow, shake off rain, potential for hail damage etc.......with the more rigid "carport" idea, none...

A lot depends on whether the opening is a stock size. For a standard dishwasher, it should be 24". So you could look for a base cabinet that would...

Pictures.

I am thinking refacing would not work for me because I have a big gap I want to fill in with a cabinet. When the dishwasher broke I removed it and...

My cabinets were an unappealing darker than I cared for wood and hard to clean so years ago I painted them to match one of the colors in the floor....

I think most of us value our privacy too much these days to live for any length of time with others. It is indeed very hard to find a small house...

Yeah, I haven't bought IKEA kitchen cabinets, but I'm a longtime fan of IKEA and have bought everything there from couches to to lamps to magnetic...

DH has installed a few Ikea kitchens and he thinks they are decent quality cabinets. I’ll never forget that in the days before we had an IKEA here...

Our Case 1: We refaced the cabinets in our kitchen. The layout was fine (except the kitchen could be bigger so we could have more cabinets; it's...

One of the cabinets has an uneven shelf inside, the others are fine except for the doors. Thank you for the suggestion. I will keep refacing in mind.

Razz, the Villages is just a huge planned community. 90% Republican and proud of it. Life centers around trying to be like everyone else and other...

In addition to good maintenance, I suggest being a prudent driver - easy on the gas, easy on the breaks, no crazy high speeds, etc. I drive like what...

I did it because I just have an aversion to sending perfectly good things to the landfill. My 1970 cabinet boxes were solid wood. So I tried to save...
