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. Yeesh! Where in GA? When I lived in Atlanta (going to GA Tech), I don't really recall anything with fire ants up in that part of the state. But I can imagine the southern part and near the coastal area around Savannah might be infiltrated with those damned things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support an organization that considers us to be mission-critical, and Fairfax County considers the organization to be part of the 1b group. I'm hoping my wife can get the shot ASAP, as well, but she's just signed up as a normal schmuck. Its funny. I won't say one bad word about people who have been able to get the shot. 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...

nw baltimore wx Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 50 minutes ago, mattie g said: My wife and met each other while she was living down south, so we started our lives together via long-distance relationship. One late night, a couple months after we met, she called me to tell me that she was headed home after an evening out with friends. She also told me that she had gotten bitten on her foot by what she assumed was fire ants. I asked how she was, and she said that her foot had swelled up and that her face was starting to itch. She then mentioned that she was driving by a hospital and wondered whether she should check herself in (and then laughed about it). I told her emphatically YES, so she did. 5-10 minutes after she checked in, they took her into a room where she passed the F out. A shot of Benadryl brought her right back, but if she hadn't pulled into the hospital right then... Allergic reactions can be scary stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take is that they're doing the best they can given the situation, but I don't think their categorizations are quite what they should be. I agree that folks like you really should be in 1b, along with your wife and kid. Maybe if better vaccination planning had started sooner then it wouldn't be so hodgepodge right now, but I think it's at least starting to show signs of improving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just biding my time and hoping it happens sooner than later. I have to say I’m scratching my head at how this has been rolled out by the states/localities. A friend of mine works for the county so is considered essential to keeping the local government running which I totally get - but has been virtually working at home for the last year (and will continue to for the rest of the year). Meanwhile, grocery workers aren’t essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
