Thanks. I’ll talk to my doctor about it. I will say this, it’s incredible how much pain just a small infection on one side of the toe can cause. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and I told my wife this morning that Neosporin and ibuprofen weren’t cutting it and I needed to go get an antibiotic.

Yeah... she said since it’s not a recurring problem and it looks like it was more an issue of how it was cut, the antibiotic should be okay. If it keeps happening, I may have to get a partial piece of the nail removed or something. If hasn’t spread of anything, it’s just one side of the big toe, so hopefully the antibiotic clears it rather quickly.

Thanks.... i have an infected side of a toenail... and it’s been heinously painful so I’m on a 10 day course of 500mg 4x a day

Is 500mg 4 times a day of keflex a fairly high dose of antibiotic?

Carefully crafting his statement that he appreciated the CDC but masks will still be required.

Maybe it’s just because baker has had some very bizarre dealings with Covid ( golf courses, etc etc) but I fully expect him to “zig” while everyone else “zags” as far as ending mask mandates. Something along the lines of “we appreciate the cdc guidelines, but out of an abundance of caution (his favorite term) mass will keep the mandates in place for the foreseeable future”.

Follow the science!!!!! Except when we don’t. My guess is Bakers announcement will be similar.

If you keep regularly testing people, you’ll find positives. Stop the testing of vaccinated people, it’s counterproductive.

Any of the science folks want to explain the Yankees situation? Having 9 breakthrough infections on the same team seems like lotto odds. Also, Torres had covid in December, got vaccine, now positive again?

I just took a pic of mine... they told me not to Laminate it in case of boosters etc etc

I ended up getting a few different Rhododendrons to put there. We kind of pivoted a bit on what the space behind the plants will be, so we got something that is a little bigger and will grow faster.

Crickets from Chuck baker so far. Beat to the punch by Janet mills

Mass is going to be very hesitant to move up that 8/1 date and ditch the masks. You can take that straight to the bank

Looks pretty seasonal for the next 10 days or more anyway. Summer in May FTL

Yeah... what’s up with the Yankees having like 7 breakthrough infections? Should they play the lotto?

Yessir, right in the middle. I’ll report back on anything I find or see

Interesting, thanks. Nothing behind my house other than thousands of acres of hockomock swamp, so if they are down here, I’ll eventual see them.

Do black bears venture this far south? My wife saw on Facebook that a large black bear was spotted in the holiday inn parking lot in taunton

My wife and I are about to finish up modern family. Sneaky funny show. We watch it while we eat dinner usually, a very millennial thing of us to do to watch tv at the dinner table. Boomers shaking in their boots, clutching their pearls.

Massachusetts will be last, you can take that to the bank. Baker will not budge on August first, even if he says he would reconsider with better data.

Actually yes. I pulled them out and returned them earlier this week. There was no sign of new growth or recovery on any of the plants. Strange to say the least. If there were any positive signs I was going to let them be. I figured after some warmth and rain they’d do something.

Bakers August 1st for full reopening seems laughably far away given with is going on elsewhere in New England

The days of dad working as a milkman for your local farm for 40 years are over. People stayed loyal to places because they were treated right. There isn’t much advancement anymore because one you advance, the employer cuts your ass in favor of a cheaper option. Job loyalty is the most laughable overrated sentiment in the American job market. The second a place can get rid of you or find a cheaper option, you’re out the door. Climbing the ladder at places is all good and well, except now, unlike 50 years ago, when you get to the top, they yank the feet of the ladder out and you come tumbling down on your neck.

Doesn’t it say a lot that $300 bucks a week is so good to some, they would rather stay home? That is an indictment on the wage a lot of places pay. I understand it’s a nuanced discussion, but I don’t really have all that much sympathy for businesses that don’t have people banging down their doors to work undesirable shifts for $10 an hour.
