Wil woke at 3am with food poisoning! He is finally sleeping now. He suspects the chocolate milk he got at a restaurant takeout on the way home, because they first said they were out of it, but then a kind person went out back and came out with the last one. Expiration is Aug 22, 2022. But you wonder if it was out of refrigeration too long at some point. Anyway, we’re supposed to be getting our booster shots today! He will probably need to reschedule because one mustn’t get it while dehydrated! Dang! He’s the one we especially wanted it for!
I got a bad hot dog once at a drive-in that I frequented. Kept going back and never again had any problems. They had the best french fries in town, and the biggest serving. Probably just an unlucky coincidence, but praying to the porcelain god isn't any fun at all. My sympathies as well.
We went to the neighboring county's covid vaccination clinic because they accepted walk-ins, and it went smoothly, no questions about insurance.

I use Google to log in here and on Forumania. I don't recall ever using either Google or Facebook to log in anywhere else, although I won't swear it has never happened. I generally prefer a password log-in.
Hey, Susan. If you get the book PERIL from the library, be sure to have a brown paper bag handy. You'll need it to make a book cover like we used to make in school ~ to cover up the photos of DT on the cover. WHen you purchase the book you can remove the paper cover while you're reading it, so you don't have to see him. But when you borrow it, the cover is stuck in place.
Can you tell I picked up my On Hold copy today? I'm waiting until I recover from the booster to look at it. Can only handle so much pain at once.
I know what you mean. I took the dust cover off the first Mary Trump book because I can't stand to look at his ugly sneering face, his orange peel skin. His cat pee-colored cotton candy "hair". Gross!
⛵️ We made it home safely from Nantucket and Cape Cod! 🛳

That's really unfortunate. My sympathies.

Wil is doing better tonight. Got his booster rescheduled to Wednesday.
DeleteSo far I have a slight headache and a sore arm. Gosh, any chance I *won't* get the mean fever this time?

ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if it's connected to the release of the Panama Papers and the whistleblower coming forward?
DeleteIt is rather an odd coincidence.

ReplyDeleteSo what made Facebook go down? Alex Hern explains it all
Confused about what causes Facebook’s global outage? Guardian tech reporter Alex Hern has a brilliantly clear explanation.
The key takeaway: an initial problem was made much more complicated by the fact that “Facebook runs EVERYTHING through Facebook.”
FaceBook is back up.
ReplyDeleteI have never ever used Facebook to log into anything else. I just don't trust Facebook enough.
