12:33 pm

hokie carla

thought you were complaining about the size of the grid, which would be funny since you were complaining about the small one.

12:33 pm

hokie carla

hey christa

12:33 pm

BzznBea

I never get them at the same time.

12:33 pm

ch1212

Thank you for protecting others as well as yourself, hurshy! ♥

12:33 pm

hurshy

no, not complain about nice size grids

12:34 pm

hokie carla

I need to get mine

12:34 pm

hurshy

you're welcome ch1212. i get them more for others, since i'm still relatively young and healthy myself.

12:35 pm

ch1212

Well, those of us who are old and/or immunocompromised (or both in my case) appreciate it.

12:35 pm

hokie carla

I'm not convinced I didn't have covid last week, so I think I'll wait a bit. Didn't have any tests with me.

12:35 pm

hurshy

:)

12:35 pm

hurshy

they told me that moderna wants us to call the new version of their vaccine "the spike vax"

12:35 pm

hurshy

and i thought, are they thinking like, gang members will be more likely to come in and get one if it sounds tough?

12:36 pm

hurshy

which got me wondering what the stats are on percent of gang members who HAVE been vaccinated previously

12:37 pm

ch1212

I need to double check on that -- I had the moderna booster a couple months ago when it was only for 65+ and/or those in need. I'm wondering now if the "new" one is the same?

12:37 pm

hokie carla

LOL, deep thoughts...by jack hurshy

12:38 pm

hurshy

well my mom is under the impression that there is a version FOR seniors now that she's meant to get instead of just the regular kind

12:38 pm

hokie carla

I thought you were like my age, ch1212. did you recently add your age to your profile or is it always there?

12:38 pm

hokie carla

hurshy, my mom was saying that last year about the flu shot

12:39 pm

hurshy

maybe she was referring to flu, idk, since i had both

12:39 pm

ch1212

Hokie, I think my age is on my profile. I'm 68.

12:39 pm

hurshy

phantom: oracle

BzznBea

there is a flu shot for seniors

12:40 pm

ch1212

And hokie, I have friends in their 40's who tell me I'm much younger than my chronological age ... which I like to think means I'm relatable, and not childish - LOLOL!

12:41 pm
