    Let's get the conversations brewing here!

    I'll take a stab at it.. How y'all feel about the pending
    corona vaccine? Myself, I'd rather wait and see who lives
    through version 1.0.


    BTW.. A MESSAGE TO ALL: this echo is now available to anyone
    with a smartphone via the easy installation of Telegram. Just
    send a message to @aabolins or @cepiersonjr and either of us
    can let you in.

    I'll take a stab at it.. How y'all feel about the pending
    corona vaccine? Myself, I'd rather wait and see who lives

    I got a flu shot this last week, and had to get a tetanus shot
    at the same time. I went to pick up a crushed beer can in my
    driveway, and ended up slicing open my "bird finger" <G> on my
    right hand. :P I bled like a stuck pig, then irrigated the wound
    quite a bit...but discovered that the Neosporin I had was expired.
    So, I had to go to the pharmacy to get some Band-Aids with the
    Neosporin as well.

    I've also been getting weekly testosterone shots (male menopause)
    as Low-T in males, left untreated, will likely cause both diabetes
    and cardiovascular (heart and lung) issues. And, to top it off, the
    Ozemprazole (prescription strength Prilosec) has dropped my B12
    levels, so I have to get monthly shots for that.

    Due to severe arthritis throughout my body, especially in my
    shoulders, getting shots there makes it nearly impossible to get
    to sleep. So, I get the shots in the hip or gleute (butt cheek).
    As luck would have it, last week, I got 4 shots...tetanus shot in
    the left shoulder...flu in the right shoulder...low-T in the left
    butt cheek...and B12 in the right butt cheek. The expression "they
    shoot horses, don't they??" comes to mind. <G> Yet, if you aren't
    proactive on your health, you'll be sorry. As for the COVID-19
    shot, considering it's likely going to use DNA from aborted fetal
    tissue, I likely will not take it.

    There is a place in Sherwood (north of North Little Rock), where
    the sign notes "North Little Rock Public Shooting Range". I guess
    that's where they line up all the tax scofflaws, and blow them
    away. <G>

    I used to use Telegram on a Ham Radio Traffic Net, but since I'm
    no longer part of that net, I don't use the utility anymore. With
    other things in life outside the BBS, I likely will just participate
    via the echo on my BBS.

    Ha! Not impressed with your pinky finger wound. I had about an
    8" wound in the arm from a piece of barb wire fence that swung
    back at me when it was cut. Instant reflex placed my arm in
    front of my face, but the arm lost about an 1/8" deep and
    about as much wide valley of flesh down to some white meat.

    After it happend, I thought it was fascinating how the blood
    was slowly filling up the gap.

    Today, the scar is about half its original length. I didn't
    bother with a doctor. Mom just irrigated the wound and
    bandaged it up as best we could to squeeze the opening shut.

    Afterwards, I would proudly display my "fencing (sabre)
    wound". <G> I had always imagined trying the sport of
    fencing, but after my incident, I didn't have to - I already
    had a fascinating scar to display courtesy of my own version
    of fencing!

    "You call THAT a scar? I'll show you my fencing wound."


    .. As for the COVID-19 shot, considering it's likely
    going to use DNA from aborted fetal tissue, I likely will
    not take it.

    From aborted tissue? I had not heard that.

    The BBS method and/or offline method allows better engagement
    with replies. But the presence of the echos on the smartphone
    allows you to take a piece of fidonet along wherever you go.

    Maybe younger people who's phones are extensions of themselves
    would like to give it a try.

    But, my right hand bird couldn't fly. <G>

    "You call THAT a scar? I'll show you my fencing wound."

    Whenever there are weather pressure changes, my scars give me
    fits. I've got them in my feet from 2 sets of surgeries, and in
    my abdomen from hernia surgery.

    .. As for the COVID-19 shot, considering it's likely
    going to use DNA from aborted fetal tissue, I likely will
    not take it.

    From aborted tissue? I had not heard that.

    I'd have to get the link for it...it was on RaptureReady.Com --
    you won't hear a thing from the mainstream media about it.

    The BBS method and/or offline method allows better engagement
    with replies. But the presence of the echos on the smartphone
    allows you to take a piece of fidonet along wherever you go.

    I spend maybe an hour each day with each of my hobbies...the BBS,
    ham radio, and square dancing...and that's it. For the BBS, I'm now
    just doing QWK Mail, and rarely doing the doors. For the square
    dancing, it's updating the websites and publications for the Arkansas
    State Square Dance Federation. And, with ham radio, it's either with
    license exams, or nightly traffic nets.

    Maybe younger people who's phones are extensions of themselves
    would like to give it a try.

    The batteries on my phones die out so quick, that I use them as
    little as possible. In fact, I don't even play games on them.
