My daughter has an always happy to see anyone pit bull. Her tail can be classified as a weapon. She once dented a metal trash can. How it doesn't hurt her is probably just because it is numb by now.

Yep, we’ve had only big dogs, with big tails, for the last 30+ years. Those tails have been wagged into furniture, walls, doors, etc., and I’ve never heard any kinda’ indication of pain come from them, and it can be so loud too…!!!!! :hilarious:

DWifey and I are waitin’ at Walgreens for our boosters.
Not sure if any of this is doin’ any good.
I don’t know how we haven’t already had it, but, maybe we have natural immunity…? 🤔 🤷‍♂️
No one at the firm, except me, is even wearin’ a mask anymore… :cyclops:

I’ve already had both shingles doses, and the pneumonia dose. If I hadn’t, I’da’ tried to get all 4…although, I’m not sure that’s advisable…?!!!!! 🤔🤷‍♂️:D:hilarious:

I think you know why you haven't and your family hasn't gotten Covid, you just now said what you have done to stay healthy. 3 Covids, Regular Flu shot, pneumonia and shingle shots. That is also why we didn't have polio and why my children didn't have measles, mumps, chicken pox and TB... Vaccines. God sent people down to create vaccines so we could all live longer. He seldom does stuff directly, he leaves it up to us to do the right thing. Smart people do the right thing to keep themselves and their families as safe as possible. As I recall you were also following protocol and wearing masks early on around your parents, daughters and the baby(s). That is also a sign of a caring person.

Having been in the service I can tell you that multiple shots are not uncommon. When I went in the service the air pressure injection guns were being used. No needles, just a strong burst of air pressure forced the vaccines into ones arm through the skin at warp speed. Actually the same setup as a nail gun. (it would get messy if you were jumpy) You rounded a corner and wham there were people on each side of you with those injection guns. A shot in each arm then you would go a little further down the aisle and turn another corner and come arms to face with another two guns. All of them in the same day equally between both arms. Then you could go out and march for a couple of hours just to get the blood circulating. Ah, good times.

I'd have to say they are regionally cultural. From what I have been able to notice, it is a southern staple at least in North Carolina. I saw a TV program once that was about how many tons of Sweet Potatoes that NC exports to Europe which leads me to believe that they are more popular there then here. Over there they might be called something else, don't really know.

Sweet potatoes are often on the table with many of mine and DWifeys relatives.
Both sets of my grandparents had large gardens next to their farmhouses.
They grew everything from cucumbers (mostly for pickles), to okra, to green beans, to sweet potatoes, etc.
Texas ranks 5th in US sweet potato 🍠 production…not sure who’s below and above us…? 🤷‍♂️

That reminds me of the road races at WDW. After each race the runner is given a Mickey medal and proudly wears them while enjoying the parks. On race weekend a number of runners run 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Full Marathon on 4 consecutive days. Congrats on getting it done! You deserve gold medals!

:hilarious:
Thanks, but, I’m not tryin’ to win any medals, just tryin’ to do what, in my mind anyway, is the right thing for my family, and others. Other folks mileage may vary. ;)

Thanks…!!! :)
Yep, between doin’ what I feel is the right thing, and tryin’ to continue to make a living, I’m just tryin’ to keep up with it all.
Sounds like you have done similar regarding safety for yourself and family…!!! :)
Delta, breakthrough cases, omicron…although, that one appears to be a pretty lame virus…!!!!! :hilarious:;)
I’ve never been a perfect man, but, I do indeed cherish all of my family…!!!!! :inlove::happy:

Right but we didn't get Malaria either. That one not only hurt but left a big lump of fluid that had to incorporate into ones system as it slowly got smaller. Good old gamma globulin shot which was good for a number of things things like preventing Hepatitis and others. What they told us it was for was to fight off Malaria, but it had many other uses. I never got that one until I was going to Vietnam. Sort of a super booster I presumed. Who knows, in the military you just went where you were told and they did whatever they felt like, I don't recall them ever asking if I wanted those shot or not. Doesn't matter anymore, I think it helped keep me very healthy for many years.

Air guns or needles, I just with they'd still give out lollipops to everyone after the shot! (When I was little, the nurses would always give you a lollipop after a shot.) ;)

Yes, but back then they had to use a sharp stone to punch a hole in your arm didn't they? Just kidding, of course, but you know technology wasn't as advanced as today when it came to manufacturing needles. Some were very defective. I had to get some shots regularly for something, I don't even remember what. I was about 8 or 9 at the time. Every two weeks or so, I had to go to the Doctors office and get a shot. Much to my embarrassment in the butt with all female nurses. Those hurt like hell and once they even broke one when it was still in. Fortunately the broken part was still above the skin so they got some surgical thing (pliers) and pulled it out. Now you go and almost every time depending on that amount of medicine they are injecting, you feel nothing at all. The sharpness and the tinyness of the needle makes it totally simple and painless.
