Oh, we did ice and salt and lemons in coffee pots, I think? Then swirled them around. I don’t know if it would be that effective in this case but man I can still hear that sound.

Why would Amtrak just straight cancel its once-a-day New York to New Orleans route, and why did they have to do it on the day I need to travel?

I did the ice and salt thing in coffee pots when I worked at Denny’s.

Yeah, it was probably salt back in my day as well.

What is this demure mindful thing I keep seeing in memes? Where did it come from? Is it meant to be sarcastic?

tiktok

it can be real or sarcastic. afaict the original person was very over the top (what looks like very heavy makeup and nails to me) while saying they were very demure and mindful, comparing to others who are even more extreme in their fashion choices (note: I am unsure of their pronouns, so avoiding intentionally).

I await correction from those more connected to tiktok

Hi angels! I have an appointment this weekend for a flu shot and an updated Covid shot.
They are offering options for the Covid shot and I don’t know which is the most updated and what words to say to them.

Does anyone know what I’m supposed to ask for? I’ve gotten overwhelmed.

Can you share what the options to pick from are?

I think anything that is offered is fine. If you have brain power to read this it’s pretty straightforward: Staying Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines | COVID-19 | CDC

No one should be offering the older versions now. I know that I saw on both the Walgreens and CVS websites that what they’re offering are the new-for-fall-24 versions if that helps.

This is my understanding as well. So it’s just back to the same prior distinctions- the new mRNA vaccines (better efficacy, some people are more prone to side effects though and some have concerns about them, in those cases the novavax is a better choice).

Thanks friends.
These are my options. I’ll likely do the mRNA then, if it has better efficiency. I’m doing it at the same time as my flu shot so I expect I will feel extremely shitty all day/all weekend anyways so I’m not that worried about the side effects,I guess.

I got the latest mRNA and had almost no side effects for the first time ever- I’ve had only mRNA COVID vaccines, many of them as a vulnerable person, and always felt sick for days. This time was just a slightly sore arm, so maybe there’s hope for your weekend.

I did stickers because I am allergic to play dough. But there is another modelling clay you can get in similar big packs!

I need to clarify that I voted and I’m not a parent.
