ok, swear I tried that
8:14 am
MollyL
Pain relief medicine, not a well known word
8:14 am
hurshy
oh! i know that word
8:14 am
hurshy
i didn't know it could be a noun as well as an adjective, maybe
8:15 am
hurshy
if you want to know more words like that just read old books, that's all, lol
8:15 am
hokie carla
how does that change anything in this case?
8:16 am
hokie carla
like, it looks like a noun and its plural. if someone said it was an adj. I could understand your statement because you'd be looking for an adj ending. I'm just confused, carry on.
8:17 am
hurshy
if it were only an adj, there wouldn't be the 8, only the 7
8:17 am
hokie carla
oh, so you're saying you knew it already as an adj. I thought you meant the other way around.

I had mine on Wednesday and pretty much no side effects, just a bit of a sore arm for a day or two
9:23 am

No tresor because only the foreign words that Enable accepts are allowed. For example, merde is allowed. Merci is not.

hmmm this was our 4,,,, nothing with the others
10:37 am

I had shingles, so the shot was nothing!!!
10:37 am

i had been advised to drink lots of water after the shots, not sure if that is why i had no issues
10:37 am
72 Temple Owl
i was drinking whilst in the time out afterwards.
10:37 am

that was good advice

even if a placebo, it worked for me

OUCH welki!
10:59 am
welki
yeah, the price is high, even without the crappy conversion rate
10:59 am
welki
but grateful we got the bivalent
11:01 am
dcseain
goodness, the Federal Government paid for my bivalent, and my insurance covered the flu shot.
11:02 am
welki
it's complicated, but we both have medicare - that's probably why the bivalent didn't cost anything. other than that, we don't have us medical insurance (other than travel insurance), so that's why they would have charged us.
11:02 am
dcseain
that makes sense, sigh.
11:02 am
welki
when we get back to canada, we'll get the flu shot there
11:03 am
dcseain
that makes sense.

i got the flu shot Tuesday. my doctor had a drive up, no need to get out of the car. after being stuck in a nerve last year, i'm done with pharmacy shots.
11:27 am
hokie carla
interesting, I've had much better experience with the pharmacy than the doctor's office. I even asked the pharmacist last year why they were so much better and she said they hear that a lot.
11:32 am
72 Temple Owl
great to just pull up, open the window, get it and go.
11:33 am
72 Temple Owl
my experiences were good too until two bad ones last year. the one in the nerve had my arm useless. scary.
11:33 am
Uneaixoise
Wish I could have driven up....
11:33 am
72 Temple Owl
also, the personnel in the pharmacies changed.

my regular pharmacy had people i could trust who retired. but my first two covids were walmart organized and were great.

why not just make a dr appointment? medicare pays.
11:36 am

12:41 pm
penquis
sadly, too many....
12:43 pm
MollyL
They do a very good job of making their emails look like they are legitimate. It's the urls in the return addresses that give them away and a lot of people don't know how to tell a fake one.
12:44 pm

I hate it that I get them in texts.
