I should not have posted something here.

marguicha @marguicha (223777) • Chile 26 May 21

I wrote a post about a survey site a couple of days ago. I just read a message from the administration. I should not have offered you the link to the site here. But what I can do, it seems, is to share the name of the site. It is...

Clint Perry I've had this happen once early last year I think. I did not realize the site I referred fell into the no - no category. Admin made the post go away. I don't remember if I got a notification about it or not. So, now I will only link to articles.

Covid Struck Again

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (121715) • Gainesville, Florida 26 May 21

No, I didn't get Covid for a third time, but I did finally go and get my first shot. It was the Moderna shot. And it knocked me on my a$$ for nearly three days. It's been a week now, and my head still doesn't feel right. Now I'm...

Clint Perry I had both Moderna injections. I was sore for nearly a week at the injection point, and tired for about three days. The second gave a bit stronger effect on both, tiredness and soreness. I was told to expect that. My wife also had the Moderna and it hit her...

It's almost the end of May and it seems like this year is starting to fly by. So many things are going on right now for us that it's not even funny. My husband is officially done his EMR classes now he just needs to take the...

Imposter Sydrome

[i]To put it simply, imposter syndrome is the experience of feeling like a phony—you feel as though at any moment you are going to be found out as a fraud—like you don't belong where you are, and you only got there through dumb...

Clint Perry As a writer, I find myself in this situation often. Sometimes I cannot believe I wrote what I did. Not feeling I am good enough to have put that piece together. I understand it is a common affliction for writers, even Neil Gaiman claims to have bouts of it...

Will there be sunlight after the dawn?

flpoolbum @flpoolbum (2978) • United States 26 May 21

Sunshine has been elusive! An army of negative thoughts, a field of poisonous weeds has invaded my emotional horizon. The battle for peace has been fought but the victory is seemingly beyond reach. How does one maintain hope...

Clint Perry I'm sad to say, I've traveled that wretched highway. Sometimes it simply loops around on itself and goes nowhere at all. I found my path out, no thanks to (drug pushing) doctors. I am proof positive there is light at the end of the tunnel, though the journey...

The Horse is pulled over by the police. Yet again. I am tired of racial profiling.

The Horse @TheHorse (220245) • Walnut Creek, California 25 May 21

I am a very good driver. I have driven over five light-seconds without ever causing an accident. A couple of years ago, I was pulled over in Nebraska for tailgating. I don't tailgate. I keep my distance from other drivers because,...

Clint Perry I've been pulled over many times for no real reason. When I was a kid, I think it was because I had long hair. As an adult, I've been informed I had a non-functioning brake light, even though when I checked it, it worked fine. I'm not sure what they were...

Wow, no more masks? Maybe?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41750) • United States 13 May 21

Just saw on the news that the CDC says if we've been vaccinated with two Covid vaccines, we don't have to wear a mask! Of course, businesses can still require a mask if they want to. But hopefully they'll soon remove that...

Clint Perry Like many other things coming out of our government, I will take a wait-and-see position for a little while and see if this removal of mask restriction has a negative impact on the number of cases. Call me paranoid. I'm fully vaccinated but still a bit...

The stars have got out of whack - meaning we've hit a few snags

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342100) • Rockingham, Australia 13 May 21

It seems to be a given for appliances to break down just when you’d rather they didn’t. We went away for the weekend and when we returned and turned on the oven to make dinner, the stove didn’t get hot. Then the light went out. As...

snowy @snowy22315 (182193) • United States 10 May 21

Clint Perry I suppose it depends on the topic and how it is being presented. I am willing to step in when I see falsehood masquerading as truth. Too many people are willing to accept the word of someone in a position of power without ever bothering to verify that those...

Clint Perry I'm not sure what you mean by too windy. Here where I live, Oregon Coast in the United States. we have a lot of wind nearly all the time. Normally, not over 20 mph (32 kph) but sometimes we can get quite gusty with winds upwards of 40 mph. (76 kph). I'll...

My COVID test was negative

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120122) • United States 10 Apr 21

Well at least I assume so since I haven’t heard otherwise. Everyone coming into the hospital has to have one. Man do they jam that swab up your nose. Very unpleasant.

I'm doing the Vsafe check-ins

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104628) • United States 10 Apr 21
