Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
40 years, what a great accomplishment in this day and age.
Years ago, I watched them on television for laughs. I certainly didn’t watch Jim and Tammy Faye for spiritual reasons!, Nor was I foolish enough to give them any money. I saw through their prosperity preaching immediately!
I cracked up when Dana did has ‘church lady’ interview with Jim and Tammy on Saturday Night Live! Anyway, I have got to go see this movie to reminisce about their crazy antics. I admit that I was a ‘closet watcher’ of their program on PTL because it was so entertaining!
I knew that woman was on pills long before it came out publicly. No one in their right mind did interviews like she did! Geeeeez, she did one on penile implants and stuck a microphone in front of a man in the audience and proceeded to ask him very personal questions! It was hilarious seeing this interview on so called, “Christian television.”
Please don’t think that I am disrespecting anyone’s faith. I truly admire genuine faith but these ridiculous hypocrites deserve to be laughed at. It’s sad and humorous all at the same time.
What a crazy situation! I would be wondering if he was a qualified doctor not knowing the history of polio, your uncle’s age and when vaccines came out for the disease. Geeeeeez!
He had polio before there were vaccines for polio!
That was one reason I got the covid vaccine,and also for my Uncle who asked me to and also because I have health problems like COPD.
My dH and I got the Pfhizer vaccine.i did alright mostly,but the second vaccine made my dH sick for 8 days.
What kid wouldn’t eat a sugar cube, right? I remember thinking that it was better than the measles vaccine which was a shot!
I remember my grandparents and parents being thrilled when we received our polio vaccine. If I remember correctly, they gave it to us in a sugar cube.
Sorry to hear that people in your family suffered from polio. I only knew one lady, who was born in the 1930s, who had polio. I, too, am pro vaccine.
My niece called me yesterday to let me know that her aunt and uncle were in the hospital (70s) with Covid. They have not had the vaccine. They did wear mask and mostly stayed in but their adult children and grands came in without masks or precautions. It’s one thing to not be able to have the vaccine. It’s another to pretend their isn’t a pandemic killing thousands, hundreds of thousands.
That’s sad. Sadly, incidents occur. There are always risks in life. I suppose that I look at the overall odds of something happening. If the benefits outweigh the risk, I am going to take the risk. I am for vaccines. Look at how devastating polio was. People in my family died due to polio. Others in my family were crippled. Thank God for the polio vaccine.
My friend who is a nurse is an anti vaccine person. She has two children with autism and blames it on vaccines.
Still, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs even if they don’t have proof, or if science proves otherwise.

I am very hesitant to take a chance. I want to wait and see. I don't want any politician to pass any law to force me to take a risk that they themselves won't have to pay for the (deadly) consequences.
I understand. I would feel the same way. I can’t convince my friend to get vaccinated. I am baffled because she is a nurse. You think that she would know better.
I also heard a report where hospital employees were going to sue the hospital they worked at because the hospital made it mandatory to receive the vaccine. It’s a controversial issue.
One of my good friends is a nurse and she says isn’t getting a COVID vaccine. She doesn’t get any vaccinations, flu, pneumonia or shingles.
Sorry your nephew won’t get his.
I recently heard on the radio that USA is probably not going to meet the goal that President Biden had in mind for the number of people being vaccinated. We are close but some people don’t want to get vaccinated. I am with you. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to be vaccinated.
Yay! That’s wonderful!!!
