Question is....does getting a lot of sun offer the same benefits? I assume that in addition to how much sun exposure one gets via how bright the sun is, time of day it must also matter how much skin is exposed? Hey Vinny, you can get the benefit of shin cancer at the same time! Mountaineer. aka “Fa...

Seriously, Dualstow is a great guy and his absence has me kind of worried. Praying that you're okay, my friend.

Ditto!

Moderna, yes.

100% better now, so at least it was quick, thanks.

Glad you are better, Corto!

Related question is what are the range of times you have had to spend in the voting process? That is, from when you get out of your car to when you get back into your car during the voting process. Me? It's generally been between 5 and 10 minutes. I could not imagine spending an hour or hours waiti...

Majority of the time you have voted you do or do not have to show an ID to vote. Yes, every time that I can remember, in three different states, I had to state my name and address, they looked it up in their records to verify, then I had to show ID - my driver's license - before going into the voti...

I'm responding to the title of this thread. Why? Mainly because of: "Love your neighbor as yourself" is a favorite Bible verse about love. It is the anecdote to correcting all negative behaviors toward others. I try to love myself and want to stay around as long as I can. I try to love my neighbors,...

My second shot report.... <snip> When I got home I engaged in about six hours of moving heavy dirt (using a rake) in my garden in preparing the soil. Did not feel any effects from the shot. It was only, about an hour ago, when I was in the kitchen and lifted up my left are did I feel something in t...

I wasn't aware there was a lyme vaccine...will have to look into that. I wonder if it exists for dogs as well

I believe it was discontinued. I had the three recommended doses during the period of 1999 - 2002.

https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/prev/vaccine.html

I've had vaccinations for the following, and I'm still alive and healthy without noticeable issues related to the vaccine: Smallpox Hepatitis A Hepatitis B Hepatitis C TDAP - tetanus and diphtheria toxoids with acellular pertussis Typhoid Fever Meningitis (Meningococcal) Japanese Encephalitis Polio,...

I could have posted this in one of the Covid-19 threads, but I thought it was a better fit for this one. One stance has an extremely negative eternal consequence, the other a potentially mild to extremely negative temporal consequence. So, a vaccine to confer immortality is offered. People who want ...

Excellent, just excellent! What if the answer comes back alligators?

Sorry to start a new thread, but I didn't want to pollute a decent existing thread. Just wanted to say hello to all the old (in seniority terms, not age) friends and new folks on the forum. I semi-retired a few years back, and decided to depart from most all my online forum activities. It's been a ...

https://catalyst.independent.org/2021/03/24/americans-misinformed-about-covid-hospitalization/ 35% of Americans think if you test positive for Covid you are hospitalized half the time. Incredible. Considering Biden got 45% of the real votes that is not a surprise. Still can't get over that, huh? Th...

To all PPForum participants:
Could we just kiss, hug, whatever, and makeup? I know we are all sick of the current situation, but I (used) to think the members of this forum were a cut or two about the fray. Now I am not so sure. Get over it and get over the self righteousness.

Take a look at this video. Don't look like any "spring breakers" I've ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsIUXuElFLc . Is this "spring breaker", as well as the BLM riots, Capitol riot, European riots, South American riots, China riots, etc. part of an Ergodic System with no boundary other t...

Zinc , but did nothing I can see..my wife was on vitamin d and zinc and nothing there either..for us I call bust

Well now, that’s certainly a galvanizing comment!

Our 4 year old tested positive and now my daughter has it ..so we got our fingers crossed she only gets a mild case from the little one ..the little one has no symptoms. My daughter had a little tickle yesterday in her throat ..that is how I started off with my symptoms and we know how that ended ....

Update 2, tiny spot of arm soreness, only if I press on it. Slept fine.

So shot #1 experience was much better than I imagined.

Glad to hear you have had no serious side effects!

Now that I’m on the outside looking in, I’ve made several not so kind observations about rightists. 1) They like to ridicule and belittle people who disagree with them. 2) Rightists come up with derogatory names to make fun of things you do that benefit society. For example, recycling makes you a “...

I think we need to have a special "TF" satire topic. Where you can channel your Steven Wright https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Wright Your satire (and I am still not 100% sure!) is so concealed that newbies may not figure it out, and like I say, I am still not sure. 95% sure is good enough for ...

yet the conclusions are almost always the same. If they are only almost always the same, I'm interested in the things that may have changed. Things may be the same and that's a good thing. It seems a lot of the senior members have a consensus on things so how about one of you provide a quick summar...

Looks like this was one of the many predecessor topics to the current one that has emerged? Right, bc if you've been here long enough, you realize the same topics keep getting rehashed over and over, yet the conclusions are almost always the same. Which is why I don't read or respond to most of the...

Found out today that 5 more friends of friend died of COVID-19 and 1 more friend. Friend had underlying conditions but would not have been fatal quickly, don’t know about the other 5.

Do open borders ultimately lead to “lowest common denominator” or “upwards to the mean” for our country vs, what it was with controlled immigration?
