Pat--I am very happy that we have our shots. You and I differ greatly on our opinion of how Florida has handled this whole thing...

Hmmmm, I wasn’t thinking of political viewpoints when I posted but you’re correct in our differing opinions. Happy you were both able to get your shots.😊😊

We had some champagne when we got home. I was really kind of worried about side effects, so relief is kind of slow setting in. I feel kind of 'blah', but nothing specific other than the arm being sore. Hanging out at home, trying to take it easy..

Terri--She said she didn't consider it political. I am just too sensitive sometimes. And yes it has been very difficult for many here in Florida--and around the country---to get the shots. We are thankful.
Both of us have just felt a little off today, but nothing specific, and yes it does seem that younger people have had more problems with side effects.

We're trying to make arrangements to have dinner -- outside -- with friends of ours, after two weeks. We have not eaten at a restaurant since March of last year..

Cathy--I did not see my mom at all in 2020. She lives in Indiana and is 94.. She hasn't gotten her second shot yet, but it is scheduled.
Meanwhile, both of us feel basically normal this morning, so looks like we are good to go!!

Yes, the lady who gave us our shot did recommend that we take a picture of it, and we plan to upload it somewhere that we could access it down island if necessary. As for the actual cards, we are going to laminate them, although the lady also recommended that we use the kind that DOESN'T require heat to laminate, as someone did that, and the sticker that was on the card melted. We have bought the kind that you just lay over top of the item, at Wal-mart before.

Perhaps she is talking about a card for yellow fever? We certainly didn't get any yellow card.

Yes, the only way to get a shot quickly most places is to be computer literate enough to register online. And even then, it often takes a while. We registered on January 15, which was the second day that online registration was open here--after spending the good part of TWO days trying to call in with their original phone call only registration system, which did NOT work at all. Registered on Jan 15, first shot February 12. My mom is 94 and is in Indiana. Supposed to get her second shot this Thursday.

I picked up a plastic sleeve labeled "ID Card Holder" at Staples. It was a package of 10 of them for under $10. I shared the extras with friends and family. It fits the card perfectly. I have a photo of my card saved in my Google Docs so I don't have to carry the card. There are spaces on the card for additional shots - in the good chance that we'll need annual booster shots.

Frankly, I think the photo is useless without that information. Kind of like taking a picture of your passport and covering up the number....

I think that's only the case if you post a picture of your card on Social Media sites. You don't want your birthdate to show up on any Social Media site. And you should remove the year of your birth from any profile you have on Facebook, etc.

Sammy--that is really VERY state specific, as far as requirements. I was really surprised that a pharmacist friend of mine, who is well over 65, has not gotten his shots yet. He works full time and his wife does not work and he is depending on her to make the reservation and she hasn't done so. He asked where I got mine. I suggested a couple of places for them to check, as I think here they could get a shot pretty easily. I felt like asking if he wanted me to try to register him somewhere, but didn't want to interfere.

I think it's still just 50 and up, plus those with underlying conditions, but it may have changed this week.

I was only five when I got my polio sugar cube back in 1961 so I guess I don't remember things being quite as dysfunctional back then! To be fair the population in the US in 1961 was just over 192 million versus 331 million today.

SammyM, I remember the sugar cube. Probably because it was the only vaccine that didn't hurt!!
As for Notre Dame, My father played for the Irish in the late 50's when they sucked. Under Brennen I believe. I grew up 3 miles from the campus. I used to ride my bike over there during the summers to watch the football players practice. I had a spot in the woods that I could watch from through the fence. I was caught by ND security and brought to the coach's office for "interrogation". Once he realized I was not a threat and my father's connection, the rest of that summer I was allowed on the practice field as kind of a waterboy and shag balls with the QB's. The coach was Dan Devine. The QB I shagged balls for was Joe Montana. Once school started that fall I never saw them again. But a great childhood memory. I live near Charlotte now and try to go to any games near me that I can. I haven't gone to a game in South Bend in quite a while. But man, what a great place to see a football game!! Saturday afternoons on the campus are magical.
Go Irish!! Bill
