    Hurricane "Ian" may be heading for us here in Florida

    My house is in north Pinellas county and my tenant tells me we had minimal damage, our old fence gate that was on its last leg fell down. We have shutters for all the windows and fabric for the doors so they were very safe. We are also one of the highest locations in the county, so not a huge...

    55+ senior community for those UNDER 55

    My house in FL is in front of a 55+ community. Their rule is no children under the age of 18 allowed for longer than 3 weeks at a time and only so many times per year. My parents are thinking about buying a home in a 55+ near me and my adult 26 year old autistic brother lives with them. They...

    Paxlovid

    46YO immune-compromised female here. I took Paxlovid that was prescribed by my PCM. Bad taste in mouth was the only bad side effect for me. It really helped me a lot. The first three days of Covid I felt like a truck hit me. I could barely get out of bed. On the 4th day, the Paxlovid kicked in...

    What are people cutting back on?

    Driving less (which I didn't do much before, I work from home), driving slower and rarely eating out. We don't eat meat, eggs or dairy so I have not noticed much difference in our food bill. Summer will be a little higher because the kids are home all day long, so there is more snack/packaged...

    Test to Treat initiative

    This is currently happening to me. I finished my 5 day course of Paxlovid on day 7 and I tested negative that morning. Felt pretty good that day, symptoms were gone, just a little remaining congestion to clear out. But I was still getting winded when I walked up stairs and could not walk the dog...

    Test to Treat initiative

    Just went through this, finishing my last dose of Paxolvid last night. I take an immune compromising drug so my doc recommended the treatment for me when I tested positive last week. I was feeling pretty bad when I finally got a positive on the a PCR test (at home tests were not picking it up)...

    teeth grinding - do I want a night guard

    I have been wearing a night guard for about 8 years now. I cracked two teeth that needed root canals done because of it within a year of each other. The second time I went to the Endontist, he told me I can either keep coming back and paying him for the repair work or get myself a night guard. I...

    Testing *after* my symptoms have diminished?

    My DD came down with what we think were cold symptoms on December 26th. We were visiting/staying with family in FL at the time. She stayed in the bedroom she uses all the next day. We did home tests on 12/27 when she had symptoms and we were all negative. We left on the 29th to head back north...

    CDC has approved 4th vaccine dose for some people

    Immune compromised here as well and I received my 4th dose (Moderna booster) on Sunday. Yesterday afternoon I had some nausea, a low-grade fever and felt like I was getting sick. I finished work at 5:30, then layed down for the rest of the evening. DH made me some soup and pampered me, it was...

    Covid Vaccine Distribution

    I 100% agree with you. But interacting with today's 16-35 year olds, they just don't have that sense of caring for others/pride of country that Gen X and older people have. I have 12 year old twin girls, 16 and 17 year old nieces, brothers that are 25 and 27 along with a 26 year old step son...

    Covid Vaccine Distribution

    36 hours past my second shot of Moderna. No side effects other then a sore arm at injection site. My 27 year old brother got his second shot of Moderna last week and he had to take the next day off work because he felt unwell. People really have different reactions to the same vaccine. 2 weeks...

    Covid Vaccine Distribution

    I love this idea! I don't know that a savings bond is going to entice 16-35 year olds, most of them won't even know what a savings bond is. But an advertisement for a free PS5, the budget Iphone (which my preteens have) or a nintendo switch and you might get them lined up down the street at the...

    Covid Vaccine Distribution

    I received my first shot yesterday evening. Hardly felt it and no soreness at first. Woke up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and noticed my arm was stiff. It is sore this morning. So far the only side effect, just like the flu vaccine every year. I was one of the last...

    Covid Vaccine Distribution

    If anyone is struggling and wants the instructions to the how best to work around CVS system to schedule at midnight let me know. I tried to attach the PDF instructions I was given, but it is too large of an attachment. But if you private message me with your private email, I will send them...

    Covid Vaccine Distribution

    Got on at midnight last night at CVS and was able to get an appointment for myself for this Sunday. Learned this trick from the Facebook group in my area that SimpleGirl recommended. The best part is it only a 15 minute drive from my house. I was expecting to drive over an hour to get my shot...
