Well...according to my co-workers,  my city is slowly approaching the part of the vaccination line that I am part of.

 

Nervous. Me and my manager co-worker were just discussing last week if we felt comfortable right now if we were to start taking it. Especially since she has a preexisting condition. 

 

LOVE.

I'm glad you are getting closer to having an opportunity to take the shot. It's something you can really consider taking, especially if you deal with a lot of people in public on a daily basis. 

 

I know the thought of taking it can be a bit worrisome for people. Heck, the very first day when my job offered me the opportunity to take it, I didn't go right away. Because it seemed very sudden (granted we had talked about taking the shot, but I thought it was still away off.) Me and one of my co-workers were talking about it and then the next thing you know we had the opportunity to do it.

 

But when I first learned of the opportunity to get it, I didn't go that first day. I wanted to think more about the pros and possible cons/risks of taking it.. Well after talking to my dad, I decided to take it a few days later. The first day I could have taken it was a Friday, the day I ended up taking it was Monday. (The place where the vaccine was being given wasn't open on Saturday/Sunday).

 

I'm glad I took the shots especially since I deal with a lot of exposure at work. I deal with a ton of exposure every day at work and have been dealing with the risks of possibly catching COVID for almost a year now. I just felt like it was good to get the shot, to help decrease my chances of catching it or at least a severe case of it.  I'm still careful in other ways like wearing a mask, washing my hands, keep distance when I can, though that's very hard to do at work. But this does help me feel better regarding working in a high risk environment. Even more so because I have co-workers who refuse to get vaccinated.

 

My advice would be for you and your co-worker to definitely drink a lot of liquids like water(if you don't already) at least a few days before taking the shots. (If you decide to get vaccinated). I believe that could help lower the risks of having more severe side effects. People I know who didn't drink a bunch of water were people who had the more severe side effects, as opposed to those who stayed hydrated.

 

It's a good opportunity to take the show. If you pass on it now, you may have to wait a while before you can get it again. Where I live the military is no longer offering the first shot for people, it's the second shot only for the time being. So people who decided not to get the first shot when they had the chance, but want it now will have to wait. Even though the risk of Covid is still out there.

There has been little to no attention being paid to this, but hopefully that changes now.

The entire prison industrial complex is overdue for a complete transformation into something resembling an actual holistic rehabilitation and corrective facility that recognizes humanity but the COVID-19 crisis in prisons is in a dire situation that needs to be addressed and remedied.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Wendy · Posted

      I think maybe viewers needed a break from Aaron Spelling by 1985 or 1986. He had a series, Macgruder and Loud, which I recall, even as a young teen, getting TONS of promotion with even a post-Super Bowl slot, and it failed. Viewers probably were - as said here - tired of soapy fare and went elsewhere. But they must have missed him since, as we know, Spelling rose from the TV ashes in the '90s with Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place!

      I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

      Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.

      I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.

      Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By j swift · Posted

      Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.

      @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.

      I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).

      Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.

      That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not.
