Yay! My fever broke! Also decided to change my avatar - yep, that's me, first grade. I was adorable, then went downhill from there. Oh well.

It was Pfizer. I've found the only place I feel okay is in bed under the electric blanket with a cold pack on my head (oh yeah, I also have a headache.) I do hope I feel better by tomorrow afternoon. Getting a badly needed haircut at 2:30. So glad you're getting those! It's awesome how available it is now for people who want them. I don't understand those who don't. Oh, about that first thing - never fear - I'M ALWAYS LURKING! (Seriously!)

I had my second dose yesterday. Today I have a fever and chills. (Fortunately, I have nothing to do today.) No effects from the first dose. I've heard it was pretty much that way with seniors (I'm 66.)

I see. My condo isn't large (about 1200 sq. ft.) and my computer is centrally located and very convenient. It's pretty much whatever works for the individual, isn't it?

Regarding the advantage of a desktop over a laptop (for me, anyway): (1) larger monitor [I have a 21 inch], (2) I could never get the hang of the mousepad on a laptop [I like a regular mouse], (3) a regular keyboard is much more comfortable over a laptop keyboard, (4) I don't need portability. Any need I would have for a computer can darn well wait until I get home. I don't want to be tethered to a gadget. There are probably more, but that's it off the top of my head.

To give somebody something to do?

I'm also on board with that. I'm 67. The only computer I have (or want) is a desktop at home, no laptop. I have a landline (yep!) and a cell phone, but it's a flip-phone (i.e. stupidphone), and believe it or not, I like it. I don't want or need a smartphone. I agree WordPerfect was wonderful, until I got the hang of Word. Word took the "coding" out of my hands and all I had to do is literally say what I wanted. Hmm, was that good or bad?

Yep. I usually prefer dark, but when it's covering pretzels, I like the milk.

Okay, so, chocolate-covered pretzels are vegan, right? :)

Say what? Explain, please!

All right already! I get it!

*Sigh* Right. Whatever.

Call me stupid, but I don't get it.

I echo the welcome, ARS! It's so wonderful to welcome another kindred soul. Isn't it interesting that a fan of one is often a fan of the other?

Yes, please remember - forgiveness is for YOU. And forgiveness does NOT require reconciliation, unless that's what you want.
