Hi, 'nad; it was so nice talking to you, too - missed seeing you here and wanted to make sure you're still in the country. Lori added your name to our prayer list, along with some of our other special FReepers.

Flagging daisy, dansangel and dutchess to do the same when they post the thread next week. Thanks for stopping in today and do it more often, ok? Maybe you'll cook up some venison stew soon! Hope things are still going well with little g'nad-to-be, Jr. :)

[Mama_Bear]

Hi, BIS. Thanks for coming by. Good afternoon to you!

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks for the bump and thank you for including Mama_Bear in todays "spotlight".

Okay, that's it.....I am out of here! It's lunch time. I'll be back later. :-)

[Billie]

Thank you for the post you just made this morning! Now I can't help but want to know and have to ask you......we've heard about some of the side effects of this vaccine. Could you tell us if you've experienced any of them?

[LadyX]

Awww, jk - in this you must be plumb tuckered
from doing Mama_Bear's 'Honey Do List'

Must be dreamin' that next time
instead of Little Neighbor_Boy_Bear,
you're going to tell Mama-B to go fly that kite..:))
LOL

Love the photos you keep on coming up with. How did you sneek into our photo album?

Well, it is time for Rotary. Sure hope none of my fellow Rotarians have seen this thread today as it could end up being real expensive.

Be back later.

Here I am, behind again reading today's thread, which is a sweetheart of a thread! Thank you all so much for your daily support and just for being FReepers.....'cause we all know they're the some of the Finest people on earth. :)

Good afternoon, EMB - nice seeing you again today - been a while. :)

Maggie, the Bear pics you're posting (I've noticed a few of them already, just scanning through the thread) are so cute!

Hi, Meekie! The hot chocolate's always a good thing in the morning. (well, after coffee first, that is) :)

[Billie]

Morning, Dansy......you're always the hostess that's firstest with the mostest (hugs)! No wonder the wolfie hangs around - I think, besides his individual hug, he's always hoping to intercept those others, too. :)

[Billie]

Good afternoon, Mix! Odd that only the last letter is showing, but even at that, since it's Friday, I'm sure everyone knows what it is you're posting!

[LadyX]

"Maggie, the Bear pics you're posting are so cute!"

Billie, 'cute' is how Papa_Bear looks in repose..:))
Truly {{{ huggable }}}

Hello beautiful person. Need a refill yet?

The only side effect so far is a great sense of having done something positive. Actually, 1 in 3 are supposed to get flu-like symptoms, but I don't have anything yet. Of course, it's only been two days. And I was vaccinated as a child, so that is supposed to influence it as well.

But I'll be glad to keep you posted.

No wonder the wolfie hangs around - I think, besides his individual hug, he's always hoping to intercept those others, too. :)

I've always got plenty to pass around. It's my hope that I can meet y'all in person one day so that I can spread around REAL hugs instead of the cyber-kind! :-)

Ask .45MAN - I've had plenty of practice...LOL! :-)

Hi Billie.

[Mixer]

It is very kooky to say the least. Have a great weekend.

Looking at your Profile Page, I *SALUTE* your North Carolina roots!
I lived in Winston-Salem for 4 years, and 16 in Greensboro, and loved the state.

As for "And I was vaccinated as a child, so that is supposed to influence it as well."
What do they find is the effect of that?

Curious, because it used to be a routine vaccination until it was supposedly eradicated.

Not only did we have it as children, and it was given our children, but it extended even to my two-month old baby girl in 1962 when we were headed for an assignment in Fairbanks, Alaska - "Overseas!"

Poor little one - the first did not take, and she had to endure it again, along with the other ones for her tender age.

Here is one reason for not administering it.
My son is a volunteer medical professional with DMAT (Disaster Medical Assistance Team), deployed to places like Ground Zero, Hurricanes (he went to Louisiana for Lily, caring for Special Needs patients in a flooded area, earthquakes, etc.

At a recent Field Exercise to train for injecting masses, he was not given his.
It was contraindicated because his wife and son have strong allergies and eczema.

His team is one of only three in America with DMAT designated for possible deployment internationally, as an Insert Team for disasters there, so if sent to an area where there is an outbreak, it would be administered then.

NC greetings! Glad you had a good experience here.

Supposedly being vaccinated before diminishes the chance of side effects or severity of them. And yes, there are lots of good reasons NOT to be vaccinated in the absense of an actual known threat.

The CDC has a ton of information if you need or want more. www.cdc.gov There's a link on that page that takes you to everything smallpox.

PS. My brother lived in Alaska a couple of years during the pipeline days.

North Carolina is one of my favorite places!
It was so great to be positioned in the Piedmont area, able to reach with ease the beaches or the mountains.
The Blue Ridge Parkway was awesome no matter what the time of year visited, and we have friends at Emerald Isle.

Are you in the medical field?
In Winston-Salem, I worked for two years as the only help for a GP, doing everything from A-Z - great experience.

In Greensboro, I was a Department Secretary for Moses Cone Hospital for 15 years.
The son to whom I referred is a Physician Assistant (U of Florida School of Medicine), and practiced at a clinic in Limon, Colorado serving an area the size of Connecticut.

He now has been a professor at Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for 2 1/2 years.

We lived in Fairbanks from 6 January 1963 to 1 June 1966, before the pipeline and the growth!

Need to go on Time Out and approach the Dinner Hour and Things Attendant Thereunto, Mama_Bear.

Will return later in the evening, but wanted to send you these pretty flowers, untouched by human - or bear - hands/paws.

You did such a beautiful job with the presentation for jkBelovedOne!
