Our offices don't want us back, we chose to keep the kid virtual for the time being, and just keep staying home and staying healthy. So I'm okay having to wait my turn. My mom is eligible in MD, but the supply is so low that she's still waiting (65+ age group). Hoping that changes soon, for her sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATECH Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Y’all are creeping me out with fire ant stories, my brother almost died from those MFers. He was stung about a thousand times after stepping in a mound while retrieving a basket ball. Quick trip to the ER where they didn’t even mess with paper work and got him in right away. Reason 10,019 I don’t miss Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got tagged three or four times by bald-faced hornets two summers ago and ended up going to the ER - first time she'd had an obvious allergic reaction since that scare all those years ago. Damn sure she carries around an EpiPen now. I'm like you - I can take hits from all kinds of stinging insects and not react at all )other than pain and some swelling), but let me touch poison ivy/oak/sumac and I'm fugged. I'm immune to poison ivy, etc. Sucka!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well dealing with drunks isn't easy, I'll give you that. Thankfully there aren't any here. But only someone with a toddler like range of emotions would need to blame others for their hair trigger emotional states and constant shit posting.

They deserve it and I hope more are able to. I will say that for almost a year my work has required me to show up to the office every day and my employment is essential. Some would say pretty damn essential. But somehow we are group 1c. Thankfully my wife and one kid just got their first on Friday because preschool teachers. So just biding my time and hoping it happens sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost feels like a bad hangover without the fun last night 35 minutes ago, mattie g said: Getting my first today Yea to you both! As a cancer survivor I am slated for phase 2. Mr. J will be in with the "healthy" folks. Was thinking about my most memorable winter event and realized it does not deal with snow at all. In college I was a commuter to BGSU in OH. Did not have the funds to be able to live on campus. Anyways was in my Jr. year and I needed to take a humanities class and found out that Severe and Unusual Weather was under that umbrella. Don't ask me why don't remember. I do remember the profs name though Dr. Glen Fry. It was just the start of spring semester around February. Growing up in NW OH I am used to snow every winter. But that one winter we had a huge sleet dump. I was driving back home on I-75 and remember slugging through about an inch of sleet that was raining down. The next time I had my Severe weather class we spent the entire session on the sleet that piled up. Going to a university that had a cemetery in the middle of it, freight train tracks on one side of it, I-75 on the other, with bars just over the tracks. The National Tractor Pull every August and windy weather all year long, the sleet was the big thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
