I used to do all kinds of stuff by snail mail from my late tweens to late twenties. It was like pre-Internet. It was seriously like a hobby doing all this shit like zines, chain letters, writing love letters by hand, etc.Snail mail can be nice for certain extended conversations by mail. Used to do it a while ago, must again at some point.
So you're unssential?!?To the best of my understanding, I and other public librarians are part of Illinois group 1c, i.e. we're essential, but not that essential, and will be eligible to get vaccinated in late March.

I was just reading somewhere (china?) Is now forcing mandatory anal swabs in some cases...Soo a little on the nose there.
I would think that an anal swab would be, by definition, not on the nose.I was just reading somewhere (china?) Is now forcing mandatory anal swabs in some cases...Soo a little on the nose there.
Should I mention now that I had an anal swab to test for MRSA the last time I had an angiogram?I would think that an anal swab would be, by definition, not on the nose.
And it's a bit cheeky to suggest otherwise.
Anal probing isn't always as fun as alien abductees make it sound.Should I mention now that I had an anal swab to test for MRSA the last time I had an angiogram?
I'm afraid, with the best will in the world, that I just can't eroticise that.
The aliens certainly seem to get their Jollys from it!Anal probing isn't always as fun as alien abductees make it sound.
Well, the nurses didn't want to do it. They made me go and do it myself.Anal probing isn't always as fun as alien abductees make it sound.
Good God I was so optimistic then. And here I am still hoping in 2-3 months we might be back to something like normal.I wish I could put this all on one or the other side of the political spectrum but I'm getting it from both sides. Mostly I'm hoping something is done for small businesses and people working. There can't be much of a recovery if they are bankrupt. Sure things like airlines, cruise companies may need bailouts to keep all their leveraged debt from freezing up the markets. That's fine do that too. Just do what has to be done so in 2-3 months we can get going again.
This seemingly reasonable observation turned out to be catastrophically wrong. They're now very worried it's permanently lowered the birth rates. For equally foreseeable reasons related to job security, income drops etc.This combined with everyone being forced to stay inside is totally going to cause a population boom:

I kid of course but still it's interesting how wide ranging the impact of this is.
Edit: Dang N Nexus beat me to it.
Update to this I gained it all back and then some.Anyone else losing weight during the coronadiet lockdown? I'm down 10lbs so far.
I dropped two stone (28 pounds) but its slowly creeping back.Update to this I gained it all back and then some.
We have the same body type is suspect. I'm 5'11" and my body used to want to stay at 187lbs. I was there are the beginning of the pandemic hoping like you to get to 170. I'm 200 right now.At the beginning of March 2020 I was 180 pounds just 10 pounds away from my goal of 170. Then the pandemic hit and I went up to and held at 210 roughly for the rest of the year. At the beginning of this year I dropped to 205 and as of a week ago I'm just riding 200.
Yeah, I think what got me below the 205 wall was working 2 jobs. Kitchen work keeps you on your feet all day so no lounging in a office chair for 8 hours.We have the same body type is suspect.

So NPR was talking about how to get vaccine holdouts to take the vaccine. One of the largest holdouts is older men. One of the commentators hypothesized that vaccination wasn't very masculine and if they could somehow make it a competition you might see higher vaccination rates. They commented that people who get more effected by the vaccine have stronger immune systems. So being taken down by the vaccine just shows how tough your immune system is.That’s good. I’m hoping I don’t feel like I got hit by a truck tomorrow.
Statistically, the demographic of people who have traditionally been resistant are also a demographic to whom erectile dysfunction is already a persistent problem. The threat of even more erectile dysfunction probably doesn’t hold much weight.Considering one of the after effects of COVID is erectile dysfunction, you would think more men would be getting vaccinated...
My wife was surprised by my take on the vaccine. I don't stress much about illness, I never really get sick. Over the past year there's at least twice that I've been living with someone who had Covid, so have had every possible exposure, but it had no effect on me. So I figured if I'm not worried about Covid, why would I be worried about a vaccine? So she says that I've managed to turn getting a vaccine into the ultimate masculine take. I worked out after the shot just to get my body feeling healthy.So NPR was talking about how to get vaccine holdouts to take the vaccine. One of the largest holdouts is older men.

That actually brings up another point. Men are much less likely to seek healthcare in general so getting them to get the vaccine is harder. But they're getting Creative about it. I think some places are offering vaccination at sporting events, giving people money etc.My wife was surprised by my take on the vaccine. I don't stress much about illness, I never really get sick.

You the Man!Yep, I felt like I got hit by a truck.
My father is well in his 70s. After he got his first Pfizer shot, the shoulder that wasn't injected felt a little sore for a couple of days, but that was it. Odd, right?That’s good. I’m hoping I don’t feel like I got hit by a truck tomorrow.

Nope, plenty of places outside of there.The bible belt?
