Vaccinated

-

They say that people who had the virus, who developed antibodies naturally, will more likely experience side effects from the first dose of the vaccine ...


Judging by my own experience, I’d say it’s true.  There was no pain when I got the vaccine Saturday, but when I woke up Sunday morning, my arm hurt. And I felt feverish and sleepy all day.  I was fine by Sunday night.


Can’t wait to do it again in three weeks ...


Grim reminder of why it’s necessary.  I’ll be attending a Zoom funeral today.  My cousin's husband. He died of COVID on Saturday.

    My brother in law had COVID in April (requiring a 3 week hospitalization) but he's never been tested for antibodies. He had the Pfizer also. Identical symptoms both times - really bad headache and tired for about a day. So, hopefully, your 2nd dose will be similar (or better). And yes, a grim reminder of "it could be way worse". Good luck. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    I'm sorry for you family's loss. As for antibodies, I know someone (not just heard of them second-hand) that was positive a year ago, and his antibodies became fewer and fewer each time he tested. Which is why we have to ignore people (like former Presidents) who say they are now immune after having had it. I'm happy for you to have gotten the vaccine! I will as soon as able.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I wonder why the reaction. I know the vaccine is a different sort. Hopefully the 2nd dose will be easier on you. Glad to hear you were able to get it.

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
