Wifey Is Feeling Under The Weather

I am not convinced it was as necessary as most have been lead to believe. But I respect anyone's wishes to do what they feel is necessary. Looks like she might be staying home from work today.

@Prabhatsingh Yeah. Besides, she will still get paid. Not that that ultimately matters.

@porwest That's a good move. A little resting is good.

@porwest This is the first time I get a flu shot. I preferred to stay away from colds and hospitals.

The only time I ever got flu shots was when I was in the Navy and was forced to. I always felt like crap afterwards. The last flu shot I ever got was in 1996, and I will likely never get another one again ever in my life. And I am certainly not getting the Covid one.

@marguicha Me too.

@porwest I used to make fish sticks for dinner all the time when my kids were little. They loved them. Been a while since I’ve had some though.

The fish sticks were actually good. Getting more fond of them each time I have them. Before this year I had not eaten them for years.

@moffittjc Not sure how we got back into them. They are okay every once in a while. I don't want to make a habit out of them. But lately I have made sure to keep at least a box of them in the house.

@porwest I was shocked when hubby told me about his friend’s situation. That’s not right to do. It basically is an ultimatum. On another note, hubby said his dad wants to get the vaccine. Why? Because he wants to go on a cruise and you can only go if you are vaccinated. Our neighbor told hubby the same thing. Hell no! I won’t be getting it just so l can go on a cruise. And if they say you need one to attend a concert then my 2020 Elton John concert, that was postponed to 2022, won’t happen. Nothing will make get the damn vaccine.

My wife cannot make me do anything, and likewise I cannot make her do anything. Personally I think that is an unreasonable compromise, and the ultimatum is not something I think is right. But that's just me. This is not the same thing, but it would like me forcing my wife to do things with me sexually and telling her if she doesn't do it, she can't stay in the house. Her body her choice. My body my choice. That's how sensible people work.

@lovebuglena I am right there with you. If something will require me getting the vaccine I simply won't do said thing. Isn't it funny, when you think about it, that the ones pushing vaccination the MOST and are all in full support of FORCING everyone to get it are liberals? I mean, aren't liberals all about "my body, my choice?" I guess once again killing babies is okay, but killing anyone else is bad. I will never understand the liberal mind.

@porwest perfect!

I definitely agree with you on that.

I hope so. I hate to see her miserable.

@porwest That is good to hear! Have a great weekend!

She is feeling better as we speak, so I think she is out of the woods. I am right there with you. No vaccine for me, ever.

@kareng You as well, thank you.

@porwest that's really good to know. i guess it's preparing the body to fight the virus.

She decided to stay home from work today. A little rest should cure the short term effects. I hear the side effects only last for about 24 hours, so she should be back in tip top shape in no time.

@stanley777 That is a logical explanation of the side effects for sure.

@porwest Sure of course you do Jim

Thanks. She will be fine. I just hate to see her uncomfortable.

@RebeccasFarm I want to fix it. But I am but a mere mortal man. I have no special powers. lol

@porwest Were you aware that there is now another shot they might want us to get after this set? *sigh* It's for the new strain that's come out. After the one Pretty and I are supposed to get May 18th, I'm done.

@DaddyEvil I have been hearing even the shot(s) now are only good for about 6 months, so who knows? I just want this whole discussion to end. lol

My wife said if she has to revaccinate they can go to hell. lol

@porwest That is good she is feeling better now

Sometimes a simple meal is just what the doctor ordered. Today the wifey was feeling much better and she went to work. She did take Thursday off though.

@Dena91 I hate to see her miserable.

@porwest I believe it is very real. I understand why you are not getting the 2nd one. Some believe it is not serious and others do. I have no idea if these vaccines help or not but I still wear a mask and try to stay as far away from people as I can and that is very hard because I have to go out and look for places for us to move to. It is not easy. It seems like people want to stay where they are. We cannot because it is not healthy for us as you know from what I said. I am glad that the fish sticks and tater tots were really good. How is your wife feeling now? The vaccines affect people in different ways. I had no problems with either one but others have. I had a sore arm for both but I have injured shoulders so not sure if that is from that or from the shots.

The first shot did not affect her at all, aside from having a bit of a sore arm of course. As for me, yeah...just isn't going to happen. You'd have to convince me this thing is more serious than it really is, and from what I can see, that won't happen either. The fish sticks and tater tots were really good.

@porwest Ah, yes! I'm not a big fish eater.

@LindaOHio Fish fear me. lol

Fish sticks are only a recent re-addition to the dinner choices. Until very recently I had not had them for over 20 years. As for fish in general, I could eat it quite a lot more than I do if it weren't so darned expensive. As for Pink Flamingoes, it is a reference to my album.

I can't wait for the mask thing to end. They never worked and it seems so pointless to wear one anymore. As soon as they stop making me wear one it is going into the garbage can where it belongs.

@porwest I disagree with you, for even now so over 40% if Hawaii residents, innoculated our Health Dept. over the radio today, had a message that, we should keep our masks on, social distance yet because of the variant of covid-19 which is much more contagious. So please wear masks for safety and good health. A little discomfort to keep healthy & free of covid-19, is worth it.

@oahuwriter I don't know. It is what it is. But I tend to think if the mask thing worked we would not still be having this conversation. lol

@porwest That is fine,

I still maintain that I will not get the shot. But I do not deny anyone their desire to get it if they want to.

@porwest that is good to know

She says she is finally feeling a little bit better. I am happy to hear it.

Yeah, so far most I have heard is about 24 hours of side effects and then it is done. Hopefully that's the case.

I hope she will too. I think she will be all right. I hear the side effects only last for about 24 hours.

It irks me that for all the liberal left's touting of the vaccine, none of them is willing to admit that it was Trump who got it to us. But it is what it is. Wifey is indeed back to her former self. lol

Me too. She asked me for stop and get more acetominophen for her on the way home from work. lol

@porwest ok dear
