no idea, other than not a 2nd job that’s essential. i’m not a fan of the bragging regardless.
that goes for a lot of bragging on social media though.
I go back and forth on it. On the one hand if it normalizes getting the vaccine to the point that fence sitters think “hmmmm, Friend A and Friend B and Friend C and Friends D-Q all got it and they seem fine… maybe I should get it too” … then maybe it is a good thing.
But it is also frustrating for those of us who want the vaccine and can’t get it, no question.

I feel like people use Facebook to talk about good and bad things that have happened to them. My dog died. I scored a covid vaccine. It seems like the sort of thing that interests friends and is worth sharing.
I’m getting ads for Galaxycon. William Shatner virtual event March 27th!!! 
In my experience, 80% of the stuff people post on FB is not worth sharing. We don’t need to know every semi-cute (to you) thing your kid does. (Samara played soccer today. Almost scored a goal!!!)
I don’t need to see a picture of everything you eat.
Didn’t people used to use a diary or journal for this crap?
Dennis Miller summed it up best:
Never have lives less lived been more chronicled.
Careful what you wish for. You take away the kids videos and what’re you left with? Pyramid schemes?

Im hearing lots of stories of people getting vaccine before their phase.
the recurring theme is right place at right time. There are people in my state that figured out that if you go to a 1 day pop up vaccine center 10 min before they close, you may get leftover vaccine doses.
Case in point: local high school did a weekend clinic to vaccinate local elderly/disabled. Some people from my neighborhood showed up 30 min before close on the last day and simply asked “any leftover vaccine?”. They said ‘we have 100, anyone here can have them’. There were 7 people waiting in line… they called all their friends and family and they got the leftovers from the day.
I have no idea how they will get a 2nd dose… but they were pretty happy to get the first.
and anti-vaxxers
My guess is that when you get the first dose that second dose is automatically reserved for you regardless of whether you were able to “jump the line”…but that’s just a guess.
Id say this is possible. The guy who told me the story also said they seemed to put his information into some kind of tracking system. But He is now at the mercy of whatever state DB they were using.
My bet is if he calls a provider that uses that same tracking system in 3 weeks, they give him a 2nd dose.
But also possible the tracking system is not universal between providors.
I’d be okay with that.
Pyramid schemes are… something something…

This one is probably mostly for grandparents.
my husband sent me flowers. THEY ARE RED! ISN’T HE THE BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD! #SOULMATES!!!
okay, stfu already, nobody cares (well outside of the 200 likes you mysteriously got, but those people are crazy)
“MY KID MADE THE HONOR ROLL! agAAIN!!! OMG!” ALSO, mysteriously 300 likes. i’m just rolling my eyes.
it sounds rather democratic
my last status update was hilarious. i’m not sure why my mother nor my sister emoted on it. i started getting concerned that they both might be dead. then today, on schedule, i got my daily text from my mother making sure none of us have covid (we do that since the pandemic started).
so i guess not dead, but they MIGHT NOT THINK I’M FUNNY. WTF?
EDIT - I see that BOTH of them emoted on other friend’s status updates that weren’t even funny. double WTF?
Yes, that was my impression as well.
Some girl is gonna show me how to get my Youtube followers to go to my website so I can enhance my online business growth. She’s got a case study I can link to and she used the word “organic”, so it must be legit.
I have so many questions.
