    Meanwhile, the stupid memes on social media are have kept and are still keeping a lot of people from getting vaccinated, which is making the situation worse.  Before you click the button, think of keeping a team of miserable people out there sweating in the stadium because something you transferred, directly or indirectly, made the difference to someone who could have been immunized.

     

    Or it could be that people don't always trust modern medicine and the government to have their best interests at heart, especially if they've seen the results from earlier mRNA vaccines. 

     

    If you honestly think that memes are the thing keeping people from getting vaccinated, you have a very low opinion of other people.

  2. We had a glorious week vacation at the beach. Figured out that a lot of my issues are definitely stress related.  Decided that there are enough people who’d hunt us down that we better come back.  Readjusting to the real world sucks...especially when we had massive dust clouds yesterday.

  3. We're up in the 80s again today.  

     

    Regarding generators...we're figuring they'll be cheap in pawn shops this summer, and we might get a heftier one.

     

    I really hate how allergies affect my joints - they ache and just don't feel stable like they should.

    Had to not only replace a water heater at the homestead but the heat pump control board went out.  That was a 300$ fix...but would have been much more expensive if it weren't for a friend who does that type of work!  Had us up and running in less that 3 hours.  The house stayed warm enough for him to get it back up...PTL!

    This has been a very expensive 2020 and early 2021 for us!  It can stop now!

    I saw something going around that said

  5. Power has been on all day, then went off for about 5 minutes.  If we can finish drying the load of clothes (sorry y'all, undies are a priority!), I'll be happy.  Going to spend the night in the camper again because we'd rather do that than have to go out at 2am and hook up the generator and all that fun in the cold and dark.

  6. I'm planning on awesome deals on bigger generators at the pawn shops this summer, if not sooner.

     

    Luckily, we're not going to really get the second round of weather so hard as the eastern part of the state.  As long as we can keep gas going in the generator, we should be alright out in the camper.  It would be lovely if we could get more propane, but at this point we may just use the electric heaters and only use the last tank or 2 of propane for cooking.

     

    Power is on again in the house.  I think I'm going to go get the dishes out of the camper, bring them in and wash them, then see about refilling the gas cans.

     

    A friend just said that a pipe froze and burst over her garage, so we might have to go do a rescue mission (or at least find a camp stove and 1 or 2 of the tiny bottles of propane to take to her - she said she has plenty of food, but it's all frozen!).

     

    Edited to add:  The only reason we're running out of propane is because you can't get it for money - nobody has any.  The one supplier in town had a line of about 70-80 cars, I'd guess.  Luckily, I have people who love me (or at least like me), which is why we currently have 2 full tanks.

  7. Power came back on for a few hours this afternoon, then off again.  Well was frozen, but thawed out with a few hours of heat tape.  Planning to camp out in the trailer again tonight. Was able to round up another bottle of propane.  Hubby thinks we're good for another 2 nights.

  8. Power has been out since around 3 am yesterday.  Luckily, we have a camper, a generator, and propane tanks.  Will need to get more propane today.  Maybe after this, hubby will decide to listen to me when I ask about refilling propane before a storm.  We could have 5, but instead, we only have 2 full and a partial on the grill.  They did last through the night, though.  If worst comes to worst, he can go trade some out at his work.

    I do have Verizon. I just figured out how to make a grocery list to take shopping...with the help of my DIL. Sigh. Two weeks ago I found Candy Crush and Solitare. I've had it about six months or more.

     

    But can you download songs into a computer to be transferred to a CD? 

    You can play them on a computer but I don't believe you can make a CD.  Then again, my car and computer don't even have CD players, so it's a moot point for me.

  10. If you have Verizon with the slightly higher data plans, you get free Apple Music, Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN.  The difference more than pays for itself, and I have tons of music available and hubby gets to watch The Mandalorian.

    CG, your 20 sounds like a heatwave. :)  You really are into important reading.  I read fluff.  The other makes me think.  Your reading makes me think of Mother, she's always reading things that matter too.  As I tell her, I like sticking my head in the sand.  Sad but true!

    If I stick my head in the sand, then I'm alone with my own thoughts.  Those things need to get out of my brain and onto paper.  Pretty certain that I have the answers to world peace, where Jimmy Hoffa ended up, and our finances all stuck in there somewhere.
