Damn. I forgot to ask for the DNA option where it made me thinner.

The nearest Krispy Kreme is an hour away and I don't need the calories. Also has anyone ever just eaten one? I can't.

If they are cold I'm like meh. If they are hot glazed, I could easily put down down 3 or 4 of those.

I absolutely LOVE Krispy Kreme and there is one right up the street from me. I only stop by there maybe 3-4 times a year though. Doughnuts aren't something I want to eat daily. Nope, I can't have just one...
I may have to stop by this week just to check out this free doughnut thing.

There is a rumour here, that those who are getting reactions to the vaccines ......... are those who have already encountered Covid19 in the population www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/strong-reaction-first-covid-19-vaccine-may-signal-previous-infection-expertsHow true that is.... I don't really know. Some reaction seems to be quite common, although as an anecdote ...... a colleague told me that he was "absolutely floored" by the vaccine.... and then went on to say that he went out for his usual 5k run that night... and only managed 2K .......Which doesn't sound like "absolutely floored" to me or he would have been in bed. I got no reaction to the AZ vaccine ....... but did prepare.. and made sure I wasn't working the next day just in case (and took some paracetamol) We are just finishing vulnerable groups and over 50s........ There is going to be a vaccine shortage for us now because India are not exporting (they have a big infection rate of their own) and the EU are not exporting. We are making some though on a smaller scale of 1m per week. New vaccine boosters (for variants) should be available for vulnerable and carers in September. Death rates have decreased by 90% because of the vaccination program.... and our predominant (UK variant) is covered by the current vaccines. “Encountered” = obviously/seriously sick with the virus or simply exposed? I work in essential retail. We see hundreds, often thousands, of customers in a single day in a 145-year old building with lots of small interconnected rooms which make social-distancing nearly impossible. I am absolutely certain I have been exposed to the virus. Boston gave New York City a run for its money in the early first surge in terms of infection rates and deaths. There is no way I wasn’t exposed. Perhaps I was infected but asymptomatic but I have not been ill in the past 15 months. I sailed through my first vaccine. Maybe my response to the second round in 3 weeks will be “interesting”? I don't really know. I don't even know if its true. There is reference to it..... but not from the medical sites that I can see. We have lots of Covid19 infected kids in School.... and walking down a crowded corridor with a load of teenagers bouncing around, would put me at risk too. (I had nothing) Its makes no difference anyway, its just something we have to get on with... a bit of preparation for rest, and some paracetamol ready to take. Its not going to kill you..... but Covid does kill, or can cause serious post viral illnesses. and we can thank our lucky stars that we have had a jab...... because many in the World have nothing as yet.

If parents can’t give consent for minors to be in vaccine trials, then there never will be vaccine trials. As my kids were older, we allowed them input into decisions, but even as teens they are greatly impacted by parents attitude. Now I would never force a 16 yo to participate in a vaccine trial if they had good reasoning not to. For the risk of participating in a trial, you have a chance to get early access to vaccine. A vaccine which has been extensively tested. I believe that the risk of driving in a car to get the Covid vaccine is greater than any risk from the shot. Yeah, you're probably right about that and you ARE right about that as far as bad reactions in the short run. Latest podcast from Germany, where they're closing everything till after Easter (yeah, even the churches) because cases are rising is that more children are getting COVID- possibly the new variants.

They are getting our UK variant which is more infectious............ but we have had it for many months, its controlled by the vaccines.. as the figures are testament to.
The roll out on the continent is sluggish.. and they have had unfounded and disparaging rumour (bloodclots, not suitable for over 65) which has ruined peoples confidence in the AZ vaccine. They were late with the roll out, signing their contracts... and got caught out when there delay in production in the Netherlands.
The AZ vaccine was developed in the UK.... and the intellectual property was given to the World... for free... with factories licenced to make it all over the World. ....and yet its still our fault for some reason.

I do wonder how much genetics plays into the reaction you have. My wife and all her siblings all are either teachers or in the medical profession and all had a hard time with the vaccine (fever, chills, headaches, etc). My immediate family all did fine, nothing outside of a sore arm.

My genetics make me prone to headaches and dizziness so I wasn't surprised.

I've never had Krispy Kreme. The closest one is over 3 hours away I've had them cold. Never lived near one. I prefer cake donuts and I discovered on their website they now make some. They do! Unfortunately they were out of my fave blueberry cake ones the last time I went. There's one within 10 minutes of my house, but I only go maybe once a year.

I had a mild headache the entire day leading up to my shot. I got Pfizer, and the only side effect I had started about 6 hours later--a sore arm that lasted probably a day and a half. I told my husband, at least I know my arm won't get the 'rona! 😅
ETA: my DH was able to get into a big vaccine clinic today in Grand Rapids, where he works. He actually happened to have gone into the office today. He was going to schedule Wednesday, and mentioned an opening today, and I said, you're there. Go get it asap.

I'm going for the first shot on either Friday or Saturday. My "appointment" is for Saturday - but my BFF and her 87yo mom got appointments for Friday. I'm driving them so I'm thinking I might get the shot on Friday. It's a Drive Thru Event... My BFF is a "Dinosaur" when it comes to technology and has anxiety - so her sibling had gotten her and their mom appointments for a month ago - but neither one would go. They watch a lot of TV news. And thought they'd have to stand for hours in a line. (BFF can't stand for more than 20minutes or so and mom's 87yo.) No matter how much they were assured that wouldn't happen. Anyway, once I got my appointment (group 1c) her sibling (and my 70 yo brother giving some first hand experience) got them to get signed up (again) and going. I'm probably gonna have to beg them to get in my car on Friday - but I will do that if I have to. My friends brother has gotten both shots - no reaction other than a sore arm. He's been going in to work right along - but he's said it's all masks and hand sanitizer and social distancing at work. he said it's a little freaky that everyone is playing by the rules (but with some complaints). He's probably got the highest risk of encountering the virus than anyone in my "bubble". A bunch of my relatives have gotten the one or both shots and all that's reported is a sore arm. I'm hoping for the same. But, I'm not sure what I'm expecting from the shot. I've planned a couple of "down" days for after the shot just in case. I have not had a cold or fever or sniffle or cough in 15 months (an all time record! - I did have an ear ache and a stuffed up head/pressure for a couple of days back in October? I think. That was purely my sinuses and I'm glad it cleared up on it's own. ) I don't want a donut... I want a fast little wait drive thru shot experience.

I haven't had a cold since all of this started either. Highly unusual. I usually get at least one cold every winter. Between staying home and the mask wearing, this is a good thing.

Tiny-do you have some type of paperwork via email which shows your appointment date? If you do show it to whoever is doing the appointment checking when you bring your friends. No reason for you to make two trip. Good luck. I have also gotten both shots (Pfizer). No side affects.

Our nearest one is 45 minutes away, and it's been over a decade. Yes they do. I have one by my Costco and one by my trader Joe's. Both 15 minutes or less away. This is very dangerous for me. Especially because until now I had a "I only buy if the hot donut sign is on" policy.

I had no reaction to either shot. I can't even say my arm was sore.
But I don't have headaches, etc. The one time I had an ice-pick headache after hitting my head against a wall, the UC doc sent me to the ER for a possible brain bleed. Thank God he was wrong.
I would have welcomed a little reaction. I feel like I got blanks. It is like the eye surgery I got is effective 80% of the time. Guess who was in the 20%?

Moderna vaccine #1 Feb 26 ... killer headache, body aches and fatigue for three days. Took Tylenol, slept more and laid low. Moderna vaccine #2 Mar 26 ... killer headache (1st day), body aches and fatigue, but I also was doing a lot of gardening which also tends to cause me body aches and fatigue. Had more injection site arm pain, too. But instead of laying low, I decided to spend more time outside in the sunshine getting stuff done.
My husband got Moderna shot #1 in December ... no side effects My husband got Moderna shot #2 in January ... no side effects
Looking forward to April 8 (2 weeks post-vaccine) so I can be a little less paranoid about encountering other humans.

NY has finally given in and opened up the floodgates on who is eligible to sign up!
Last week they dropped it from age 60 to 50. Today it drops to age 30. Next week, 16+. Unfortunately, I can't sign up the boys before they become eligible (I mean, I can't even get them in line for an appointment when they'd be eligible). If it was tough to get a slot before, it'll be impossible next week!
The school districts are getting pushed by some parents to fully open NOW. I don't want full open until the kids are vaccinated - numbers testing positive are increasing, even with higher vaccinated percentages. It's more and more younger people, who haven't been able to be vaccinated to date. Slow down, wait just a bit longer. Besides, its the disruption of changes that are, well, disruptive, to the kids' education. They've settled into a routine; let it play out for the last few months left. Plan your full reopen WELL for next fall, instead of a quick pivot based on the latest news cycle or FB protest.

Try vaccinespotter.org for your state at midnight, 5, and 6 are the key times to find openings. They should show appts about 4-5 days beforehand. Good luck!

Last week, I went looking for appointments this week for TD and myself. The age finally drops to 60 tomorrow. No go.....I can’t even start the hunt until tomorrow. Getting a jump on it doesn’t work here.

Second Pfizer yesterday afternoon. I had some slight soreness in the arm near the injection site, but that is nearly gone today. The only discernible effect was that I was very tired yesterday post injection. I took a nap and felt a little better but still tired. Feeling normal today, though, and no other effects have appeared.
Now I'm just waiting for the full 5G effect to kick in once the chip is activated. Does anyone know how long that takes?
