I ...Golly, Dan's a man of influence and power!<br /><br />I can see why you'd worry if you have a history of blood clotting issues. I had the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is also rumoured to cause clots, last week but aside from feeling awful for 36 hours it's been fine. We were warned about a headache with ours but I've not heard of anyone getting a rash as a side-effect. <br /><br />Making plants is the best! It is amazing how you can put a few specks in the soil and have tomatoes six months later.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-40790254784753991892021-04-16T01:43:52.835-07:002021-04-16T01:43:52.835-07:00Great news that you had your first dose, and looki...Great news that you had your first dose, and looking so fabulous and cool!. I'll have to wait for a while, as they've stopped the AZ vaccine (our politics are crap, they take decissions ignoring what scientifics tell them). Probably, politics will change their minds as most people are informed about how rare secondary effects are, and putting pressure on to have AZ back Now. Some people are still worried about blood clots, and I should be worried, as I also have a history of blood clotting problems, but I'm not. I totally agree with you.<br />This red floral dress is so fabulous, I have a weakness for this kind of print, so summery, and REd!. Loving it!<br />And you've put a smile on my face with your posing, the brooch is actually beautiful and your outfit is fab!. <br />Sorry that you had these annoying symptoms. Hope you feel better soon. Whatever the secondary effects, I'm looking forward to have my jab! <br />besosSeñora Allnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403540346998939207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-7989082230329455272021-04-15T17:06:55.067-07:002021-04-15T17:06:55.067-07:00@Vix

The former pres. who's name I won't say, issued a press release claiming Biden is trying to keep people from getting the "Good" vaccine and people should go demand the J and J one and that they're only stopping it so they can push the other vaccines. Because his supporters are complete idiots, they're now demanding the J&J vaccine. You couldn't make this shit up. Until a week ago, none of these people would take ANY vaccine because they were Covid deniers. Now they're suddenly all clamouring for one because the cult leader told them to. I guess on the positive side, we'll get more people vaccinated but, yikes. <br /><br />@Vronni<br />No idea if he'll pursue it (he wants to study languages) but we're pleased he's found something useful to do with his time. <br />Our weather is completely unpredictable. There was frost again this morning. <br /><br />@Ann<br />I didn't get a chance to speak to her, but there was a teenager at the vaccine centre wearing a vintage Love Is tee shirt and a Peter Max print mask. I was impressed! <br />I hope they get the AZ vaccine sorted soon. Especially now that everyone knows what to watch for. <br /><br />@Beth<br />I think their files are all on their phones these days. I was recently cleaning out a drawer and found my telephone/address book from the 80s. I imagine most of those people are long gone by now. <br />I cannot grow cucumbers here-the squash bugs get them or else the squirrels do! Last year I only got to eat a handful of the lemon cucumbers I planted. Good luck with yours. <br /><br />@Gail<br />Thank you. We're impressed with his ability to talk to just about anyone. That's not a gift I have. <br />Take care.<br /><br />@Bibi<br />Fire sounds terrifying-I know you're probably familiar with it from all those years in California, but even knowing what to must still be awful. I hope you stay safe. Ramadan Mubarak. I hope you have an easy time of it this year. <br /><br />@Beate<br />The old people figure they've lived this long they will be OK-complete madness. <br />I hope you get a jab soon. I wish I could bring you here and get you one. <br /><br /><br /><br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-83041389569380189222021-04-15T01:33:23.158-07:002021-04-15T01:33:23.158-07:00glad all went well with your vaccine - beside of t...glad all went well with your vaccine - beside of the headache - but as you say: all is better then getting a worst case of covid.<br />here the very slow vaccination almost comes to a halt because the over 60 ones dont want AZ - ignoring that the few complications hit women under 50....... and numbers rising fast.... the same group is the one that stands in the supermarked unmasked and close together chatting - every given day! supermarket is the new pensioneers club.<br />the politic has given up it seems.<br />but danny as a jounalist gives me hope! the world need such youngsters! <br />love the red/white look - its so very fresh and springlike <3<br />xxxxxbahnwärterinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032478343344432338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-84558353886300838312021-04-14T21:40:26.159-07:002021-04-14T21:40:26.159-07:00Bravo to Dan for insightful journalism & insid...Bravo to Dan for insightful journalism & inside contacts!<br />Congrats on your first jab too, <3 !Loving your vaccination ensemble.<br />One of the 6 women who suffered a blood clot unfortunately just died (apparently due to mismanagement of the clot) so I am certain the Press will be in full force fear-mongering glory.<br />I have never gotten a store-bought Easter lily bulb once it died back. Wonder if it is even possible?<br />We are having horrific forest fires here in Nepal after a very dry winter receiving only 25% of normal rainfall.

I was a shrinking clamed up violet well into adult years. Shyness can be a real handicap. Your Son should be proud of asking hard questions. If the politicians don't want to answer tough questions they should not be in politics ! <br /><br />So glad you started the vaccination process. You will be so relieved when it has been completed. <br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />Gail from Pa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-88484134449108979132021-04-14T11:46:11.157-07:002021-04-14T11:46:11.157-07:00Well done, Dan!

Please nudge him to keep a contact file -- some of mine are sill active decades later. (And we're all of us surprised we ended as well as we did.)<br /><br />Wearing Dosis for the dose...is exactly what we'd expect of you. One good jab deserves another.<br /><br />And, yes, that plant does resemble Audrey. Last year I had a cucumber plant by that name. Extremely aggressive specimen, climbed fences and crawled into gutters.

As you said, I'd rather have that than Covid! I do wish they'd get a move on here, but the AZ blood clot thing is throwing a bit of a spanner in the works here as well. Wish isn't helped by all the scaremongering media coverage.<br />I'm very impressed with Danny's networking, and with the outfit you wore for your vaccine. I'm sure you were the best dressed one there! <br />As for your pose in that last photo, I was wondering what that was all about when I saw it on Instagram.

Being a lifelong introvert, it inspires me when someone goes through life with the attitude that anything is worth a try because the worst thing that can happen is the other person will say no. Good for Dan, asking some hard-hitting questions to your governor instead of playing softball. <br /><br />Spring has definitely sprung around here, although the nights are still very cold. As of next week, all adults in Oregon can get the vaccine, regardless of age or preexisting conditions, so I'm hoping to get mine soon.

I think Dan is permanently on his shit-list ;)<br />He thinks to do things other people figure wouldn't happen on the assumption that the worst they will say is, "no" and sometimes they say "yes." I'm such an introvert it shocks me sometimes to see how outgoing he is. <br />I hope you're having a nice spring in the PNW. You're in such a beautiful part of the country. <br />Take care.Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-37238711893516876542021-04-13T13:37:10.666-07:002021-04-13T13:37:10.666-07:00So Dan has friends in high places, including the g...So Dan has friends in high places, including the governor! That's wonderful. <br /><br />I thought of you when I heard that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was being pulled from the supply chain due to safety concerns. I'm happy that you got a different vaccine, even though the risk of blood clots was low. <br /><br />Your flowers are looking lovely, and I hope you can resume your gardening when the side effects of the vaccine wear off. Take care.Emilynoreply@blogger.com
