We're doing a major renovation starting next week including a new kitchen so trying to figure out the appliance purchase now. I thought the hardest part would be figuring out the brand but its actually finding stuff that's not backordered until December. I'll be sure to try every place I can think of, thanks! We had to get a new washing machine and it was hell trying to get one that wasn't back ordered or out of stock. My wife wanted a front loader. We started at Lowes but no luck there. Nothing was available . I asked if we could just order one and wait but each one we wanted was on back order and they didn't know how long it was going to take. Ended up ordering one from best buy. The delivery date is a little farther out than I would of preferred but beggers can't be choosers lol. Being delivered about 2 weeks from when it was ordered. In the past we were able to order an appliance and have it delivered in a couple days but I guess those days are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming he will follow CDC guidelines for what is considered high-risk. Which is a lot more than what's on the website now when you pre-register. Maybe they will release more information next week when pre-registration for 2B opens up. and @North Balti Zen I know they don't check. Numerous coworkers who are healthy and in their 30s have gotten their shots by calling themselves essential lab workers. They are not. They don't go to the office, they've been home for a year. That's just frustrating af. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 WV continues to do an excellent job of getting the COVID vaccines administered. With the exception of my 12 year-old son, our whole household has had a shot. I got my first shot on the 8th, mother-in-law had hers on the 9th, and yesterday my wife (39 year-old daycare provider) and daughter (17 year-old with asthma) got their first jabs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I'll be happier than a pig in sh*t for all my friends that can get it. And I've fully resigned myself to the fact I'll be last to get it despite my job.

Went looking again around Thanksgiving and went to VCF(yeah, I know. Cheap) Found one there that we liked just didn't pull the trigger. Got the one stimulus($600) and bought it online around Xmas. Thankfully they had it and only took a few weeks to get. But I'll be doing the paint thing in Aug. Daughter wants her room a new color.

Maestrobjwa Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Spring comes...but after the way the winter went...it's a little harder to enjoy it this year...at least initially. Right now it's just a reminder of the winter's failures. But hey, perhaps the warmth and cicadas will make it better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that most furniture is more cheaply built across the board these days, so I wouldn't mind if it's from VCF, Ashley, etc. I can find something to like, for any room, in any furniture store, it's Mrs. V who's a little more, ummm, "choosy," shall we say. We've actually had great luck with LaZBoy in Kingstowne...bought from there a few times during sales over the years and their pieces have held up well. The LR stuff we've pitched is from Belfort, one of my wife's favorite haunts in past years....but this time, I didn't want to go schlepping out to Dulles to roam a giant furniture warehouse for an entire day. Yep, I'll GLADLY repaint the LR to avoid THAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I got the 1st Moderna shot last week...only reaction was a sore arm. That is, until today. I've developed an itchy rash in my upper arm where I got the shot & and its pretty swollen. My armpit is sensitive to the touch, too. Dr. Google says its "COVID arm" which some people develop about a week after the 1st shot. Its harmless apparently but I wonder if it forebodes a bigger reaction to the 2nd shot. ETA: Dr. Google says no bearing on the 2nd shot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 So Mr. J did good for a birthday gift. Had a quiet day and ordered in Thai on Wednesday. After all my life having a St Patrick’s Day birthday I am over the mass pub scene of my adult life. Not being Irish at all, German and Greek mostly, it has been nice to just celebrate it as my birthday. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents in FL have told me to lie my way into a vaccine. I told them that is just not right. Am I frustrated that a person with underlying conditions has had to wait, yes. But I am not going to lie my way into a vaccine. So this 48 year old cancer survivor will be one of those trolling at midnight if I have to starting March 30th here. I am signed up on a an intent form with my local county health department, but I feel that as they are only up to 1952 for their age group that will not be happening soon for me. I will hopefully get to pre-register for a mass site next Tuesday. Have my Twitter alerts set up with a Vax Alert Bot and have joined a MD Vaccine Hunters group that gives tips and tricks and even helps those who are having issue getting registered. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy and happy birthday! Drink an IPA for all of us. I will have to say it is kind of cool having a birthday during March Madness (mine is the 25th, next Thursday). However, that said, I still have bad memories of 1988, when Purdue (where I was in school at the time, for undergrad) had an awesome team that year. They were favored to go far in the tourney and were ranked #2 at the end of the season. They got the #1 seed in the Midwest bracket, won the first 2 rounds handily. But then on Friday night, March 25 that year, they LOST a tough one to Kansas State (the 4 seed) in the Sweet 16 by 3 points and had a couple of bad plays at the end that may have cost them. Funny thing is, they played K State earlier in the regular season and won that game big. Oh well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
