Either way, just stop the dang disruptions!!
We here in WA passed a bill to go to permanent DST a year or so back, but are waiting for Congress to approve it... seems those people are too busy contesting an election...
As of this morning we're now signed up on 10 different waiting lists for our C19 shot. When we finally do get the shot there doesn't seem to be any way to remove our names from the other lists.
Aw, gee. I got my second yesterday. I felt really bulletproof for about an hour - till I remembered all the other ways to die.
Well, "full" immunity takes a couple weeks after the second dose, so you really shouldn't feel bullet proof until then 
At least the Covid bullet.
And you're not alone in that feeling of relief!

I just checked our county site for a vaccine update. Looks like they're getting 5k doses a week. At that rate we've got another 6 weeks to wait with 35k people ahead of us. It's already been 7 weeks. Of course some of the people ahead of us have found other places to get their shots, but we haven't found a place on any of the lists we've signed up on to remove our names once we've gotten our shots so I'm hoping that number of people ahead of us is much smaller. I recently got an email from my ENT doc office that they were approved to get the vaccine so I signed us up with them. That was 2 hours from when the email came in. I've got a check-up with them on Thurs so I'll get an update then.
Had my ENT doc visit yesterday. They're approved to administer the vaccine, but haven't gotten any yet. I keep checking my computer, but missed a notice from our county to click a link to get a number to make an appointment. Turns out I was 1/2 hour late but they were closed and didn't have any appointments left anyway. Their hours are 8:30-3:45. WTH? Bea said their county works pretty much the same way - appointments fill up within minutes. We're signed up at 10 different places so hopefully one fo those will come through.
I've told you the story of us waiting for 7 weeks to get an appointment with our county to get the C19 shot. We finally got an email with an ID number to schedule, but there were no appointments available. We didn't know what happens next. Is the Id number still good? We missed the time slot to register so does that mean we go to the end of the line? All day today the site still showed no appointments available. So, Mike sent a facebook message to our state legislator and within minutes they replied that they'd check into it. A few minutes later they replied that our ID number was still good and a bunch of appointment times would be available tonight. So, I kept checking online and Bingo! We're both scheduled for our first Pfizer shot on Tuesday!! This is the 2nd time a state legislator helped us. It's good to keep track of them, they can come in handy.
Yesterday Mike and I went and got our first Pfizer shot given by the county. So far we've had no adverse symptoms at all. I swear I didn't even feel the shot and neither of us even have a sore arm! We weren't sure what to expect because we've heard that some people got pretty sick for 24 hours. Seems like it's more the Moderna that people have trouble with, but I could be wrong. Given the problems we had getting the appointment I gotta say actually getting the shot was handled extremely well. Went like clockwork. They must do 1000 people a day. The line moved fast and efficiently. It's nice not having to constantly be watching the computer for an appointment notice to come. 2nd shot is scheduled for 4/13.
Ours were Pfizer, too, and essentially no after-effects. I've heard similar regarding Moderna. And good that they had at least the injection part done well!!
We got appointments today for Pfizer. 1st dose Sunday, 2nd April 11. We didn't really start looking until this week since we were on the road. Tried for Johnson and Johnson, but couldn't get in. Pfizer is fine!
I guess it's been a few years since I was ejected from this thread. Just dropped in and saw vaccinations being discussed. So happy that now that the opportunity is being offered to much younger people than I, I've got an appointment early tomorrow afternoon for both me and my mom, combined ages 159 years.
We signed up with our county 7 weeks ago and finally got our shots on Tuesday. It was the Pfizer one. Neither my husband or I had any reaction at all. Not even sore arms! I sure hope the 2nd one goes as well. Of course, I was prepared with soup in the freezer and got groceries in so I was prepared. Seems to be the best way to avoid problems-be prepared!
Uh, yeah, and about 90 days 'til summer
It could stay Spring all year long and I'd be perfectly happy.
Nah, you'd lose appreciation for it with no comparison
You're probably right, but I wouldn't be complaining. I actually do like the seasonal changes, but they just last too long. In my perfect world we'd have a winter of 3' of snow for 1 month and then Poof! Spring!
