I don't mind needles.  Hell I'll watch them jab me when drawing blood and love seeing my lifeforce being drained into a vial.  If I ever have to get cut open for surgery I wish I could be awake and watch.  My fear is being put night night and not waking back up.  Keep my ass alert and I'll help hold the thread for the stiches.

My mother-in-law used to refuse the light sedative they provided/offered for her colonoscopies, as she wanted to both be aware of what was happening during the procedure, AND be able to drive herself home after the procedure once she was cleared for release. She was a brand of tough I haven't come across in awhile.  :)

Acutely aware of the bad jokes in here!  Might have to sine myself up for more.  But that might result in circular reasoning.  Reminds me of that geometry teacher baseball team, called Angles in the Outfield!

I'll do a 180 and see myself out now...:D

I had someone tell me that they are very healthy and never get sick and eat really well and that, therefore, there was no need to get vaccinated.   This is the person the virus will target.  Like bees to honey.  Whatever.  

I drink quite a bit and eat like crap so def not healthy, but I rarely get a cold (even with having filthy kids) so I feel like my immune system is doing ok. Makes me not want to chance disrupting that

I personally understand the skepticism, I had it myself....and if you are healthy and younger you're obviously low risk to develop severe illness.  The statement "no need to get vaccinated" may be ill advised but I understand having skepticism

They can just do yoga and treat themselves with essential oils and they'll be fine.

I may or may not be passing a Kidney stone this morning. Seriously worse pain that childbirth, and have done that twice. This is possibly my 3rd stone over the years. Going into Dr with a possible UTI but this pain is really making me lean towards a stone. 

Thanks to all who responded to this. As of now confirmed a raging UTI and on antibiotics. If it does not clear after on drugs will get a scan. One horse pill in out of two for today and am starting to feel a bit better.

to each their own, of course. but you having a good immune system isn't going to stop you from getting covid. good luck all the same.

Amelia Draper on WTOP: “a quick taste of winter”. Gimme a f-cking break. This sort of crap drives me nuts. On-air mets have to be better about communicating what is NORMAL to the public. Next week will almost certainly post bigger departures from normal than tomorrow, but because it’s warm, no one will notice. 55F highs in April are way closer to normal than 80F!! This is one reason the public doesn’t understand climate and climate change.

Got a good hike in on Old Rag today. Pretty windy and got chilly towards the end, but a much better day than I had anticipated. They’ve opened the new parking area and made a trail spur to keep people from walking on the narrow road. Finished the hike by stopping in at Copper Fox where they had a fire going in the wood stove and plenty of warming spirits.
