      My 84 year old mom has myasthenia gravis - which is a neurological autoimmune disease. She cannot take any vaccines ever again. Thank you so much to those who DO get the vaccine. You are helping keep my mom safe. Thank you very, very much. There are more folks out there who cannot get vaccinated do to health problems - so having most others vaccinated helps keep the virus at bay. Appreciate you all.

    I was happy to see you get your Covid shots--we have received both of ours and have been back out into the world--doing actual shopping--not just short runs to get groceries. We've been out to eat (although we have been sitting outside), to Costco, Dillards, Lowe's, Petsmart ... places we didn't dare go to before. I feel like we are not only protecting ourselves, but doing our bit to protect others. Gizmo still looks like a pup! You must take great care of him.

  • @anitathompson6571
    @anitathompson6571 Před 3 lety +8

    My folks are 89 and 85, they moved here in 2017 to Kentucky after full-time RVing for 20 years. They, we, ALL want to go back to living freely. It’s been a long year but they, at their age, were most vulnerable. As their daughter I sure as heck didn’t want to bring illness or death to them so yes, I wear a mask to buy groceries and anytime I’m in a store. I did their shopping since March 2020. I am grateful the VA has given my Dad his vaccines and yesterday at the University of Kentucky my Mom received her first. Whew, at least I feel they have protection. I cannot personally quantify ANYTHING about covid, the state of our government, what is or isn’t a line of b.s., or anything other than the fact my family here avoided covid personally. We sacrificed but we are here a year later to complain about it, lol. We had family members in other states test positive. The fact is, we still have freedom here in the USA to choose to believe what we choose to believe. I will take that over anything, even when we as Americans don’t agree or believe the same. When I qualify, yes, I will take the vaccine. It’s a personal choice that doesn’t negatively impact anyone else on this planet.

    I got my first dose of vaccine on Friday, the 19th. My doctor fast tracked me. It’s awful up here. Over 80% of Minnesota vaccine is given to the twin cities. The rest of the state shares the 20% or less. So I’ve been told by my physician.

    Glad to see you two got your COVID vaccine. Debbie and I have had both rounds of ours, as with our daughter and niece (nurses) and my sister (works in a hospital in Michigan). No third eyes or extra arms of legs, yet. I spent 25 years in the military and have been shot up with most all the things that they have vaccines for and I’m still here, what’s one more. Thanks and keep up the great work!

    Hi Linda and Jerry, Gizmo did a great job answering questions. If you are missing snow. I could send you plenty from my yard. I also have some lovely icicles hanging from my gutters. But we are finally starting to melt the snow in Chicagoland. So glad you got your first vaccine. My 90 year old dad got his first vaccine last week. I will breathe a sigh of relief when he gets the second vaccine on March 10. Keeping my fingers crossed I can be vaccinated by June. Thanks for all the good information. 😎

    We have long term insurance and bought in our mid 50’s (we are in our early 60’s). We pay about $3,500 a year total for both of us. Assistant Living is $5-7,000 a month right now and that’s not a hardship I wish to put on my family down the line. We actually increased our coverage a few years back. This is insurance that has a time frame for getting (in your 50’s I believe).

    Good discussion. As for the beautiful birds. Sandhill cranes & an Egret we named destroyed “Iggy” destroyed screens on our sliding doors. They see their reflection. Also they were unimpressed with moving fake alligator. They stood on him to peck higher. Not that you need my advice, but you were were very wise to get your CoVid vaccines. Now you need big hats.

    You always get three thumbs up from us. Can't forget about our buddy Gizmo. But don't worry you two, there is no such thing as bad press! Have a great week!
