cw - I'm sorry you aren't feeling well but glad you got your vaccines.
Warmer weather continues here which is great for February. What I read was that we will have a cool summer to make up for it. OK by me!
feel better soon.
Golden - you are welcome to come get your weather back, I know I'm getting pretty tired of it ❄️
Not to ruin anyone's fun, but I have taken advice to have any immunizations done only one at a time, a week to a few weeks in between. I could care less about the doctor or clinic's convenience. I am all for the patient's comfort and safety.
At the doctor's office, we would split the 5cc injection of immunoglobulin into two different doses, one on each side. Less bulk equals less pain. Do they even give that anymore? It worked wonders for people who were run down by a flu, and were not recovering.
If you only get one type (one shingrix) then you can be sure to know
what one you might be allergic to if the time comes.
Can you imagine how many vaccines are shot into the recruit's arm at once when joining the armed forces? Is there a safe limit?
Only the sensitive people will care about this.
Glad you are feeling better Cwillie.
Glad you are feeling better.
I know how you feel I am always sick after.
If I can answer for Golden as we live not far from each other, we don’t want that weather but I am sorry about it.

Very unusual, expecting a "tornado?" in Southern California.
Not likely to be like in areas frequented by tornados, I am hoping.
He said to pray.
Not even a radio, or blankets, or helmets.
That was so kind of you.
Nothing but rain all day.
Found out our City has no shelters for tornados.
It was not the "mainstream" media reporting it, kind of
a controversial reporter. However, the main news did pick it up, then said nothing.
Found that there was a weak tornado last week in Pico Rivera but I did not know.
Knowledge/facts are needed to stay safe, so I am learning. But no longer worried.
Back to cleaning house.
Sending many hugs and prayers to one of our best support people:
Bundle of Joy.
Seniors should shelter in place if they have a/c, or go to a "Cooling Center"
for their safety.
WARNING:
Another thing, is DO NOT leave your child, grandchild, elder, or dogs in a car for even one minute. No reason to have heat related deaths.
Am I the only poster left who posts on this thread?
Saying hello, if you are still here after tomorrow!
Lol, that was just a weather joke.
Hope everyone is safe, always.
Hi Pamzi and CWillie!
Anyone else?
Yesterday,it was so hot ,you could have gotten a suntan but now it's only 32 degrees and it's supposed to get down to 1 degree by tomorrow.
The weather is CrAzY~
Yesterday we went to the seawall thinking we'd get a nice long walk in but nope. Brrrrr..............!! So we stopped at a restaurant and had pizza and greek salad instead.
Looks like spring will arrive on time!
I did not know that today was St. Patrick's Day-the wearing of the green.
But I did talk to my new indoor Boston Fern, thanking it for bringing in oxygen
to our home.
I started doing Jazzercise 8 months ago and it’s been helping me slim down and has been a nice social outlet. I always meet someone cheerful there which helps me a lot.
Someone actually said I lost weight when they saw me last week. I’m trying to watch what I eat and try not to binge on carbs and sweets.
On my end, too. And if I’m sad, angry or unhappy, I start stress eating. I know it’s not the solution, but food makes me feel better. I didn’t always do this. I used to be skinny. I try to think back how I dealt with stress in the past, when I was skinny. I was better at avoiding bad people. I only surrounded myself with good people. I think I was better at dealing with stress. I’m going to try to be more like how I used to be.
Yes , I’ve been known to stress eat .
I just bought a walking pad , was delivered today . It’s like a mini treadmill . The handle folds down and the whole thing can slide under a bed out of the way in one of the kids’ old bedrooms if they stay overnight. Especially when my allergies keep me inside , I’d rather look at a mountain view from a window than exercise in the basement .
Allergies the last couple of years really bad so I wasn’t walking enough outside , put on some weight , oh and the very cold winter this year that made extra baking and snacking happen more often didn’t help .
Anyway , my plan is to do some routine walking on my pad . But also if I feel like snacking , when I know I’m not hungry , to go walk on my walking pad instead and listen to music.
I mean
that it’s smart to eat healthily and exercise (and NOT use food as a crutch), which is what I used to do, until I started my bad habit of stress eating. Until now, I always blamed the stress: the stress is the reason I turn to food and put on weight. Now I’m starting to think, maybe I was just smarter when I was younger.
