Good, glad to hear it!  I got Pfizer #2 about 10 days ago and had no noticeable side effects.

my younger bro, the pharmacist at merriter, got really really really sick after pfizer #2.  he's probably the most healthy, physically fit, clean living guy in our family.  2 weeks of agony.  at first he thought he had appendicitis.  they took a few scans, saw an embolism?, lower right quadrant abdominal area.  he is by NO means a pill popper but vicodin was ONLY thing that gave him SOME relief. he wasn't going to go to anything stronger than that as he was trying to work thru it.  he would limit himself to 1/2 during day and 1 at night to get some sleep.  then weaned back to 1 at night.  he said it had to be a perfect storm of something

Some Republican lawmakers are refusing to wear masks.  But there is a requirement that male lawmakers wear jackets - glad they have their priorities straight - not...

WI ranks #1 in vaccine supply usage.   Currently shotting 43k per day.  Nice job.

Wisconsin's next phase begins March 29, now vaccines for people with health issues.

One of them is BMI => 25, because that's overweight.

That's nuts.  I'm right at 25.  Yeah, I've been meaning to lose a dozen pounds for a few years, but besides that spare tire, my doc calls me "well nourished."

On the bright side, all my snacks have finally paid off.  I better not lose a few before March 29th.   

Why yes, I /will/ upgrade that Beef n Cheddar to giant, thank you for looking out for me.

The Arby's love finally pays off.

Pfft.  It always pays off.

Wear baggy clothes and put some rocks in your pockets. That's my plan.

Wisconsin is not requiring documentation of the medical conditions.  Just attestation.

This won't help you make weight.   (Thanks, Lurch)

That's called the Arby's Diet.  Some Instagrammer is probably making a fortune on it.

[Warriors4ever]

Wow BMI > 25 isn't even obese, just overweight.

What if your BMI is 40? That's >25.  According to my scale, a BMI of >30 is obese.
On aside note, much like the guy in Airplane! I picked a bad time to go on a diet.

[Jockey]

Have an ambulance service on speed dial.

[Warriors4ever]

Ok you're right I worded that badly😁
I left out the a BMI over 25 but under 30 part 🙄

[mu_hilltopper]

Wisconsin just moved 1c up to Monday, 3/22.   I snagged an appointment for that afternoon.

Now I just need to keep my BMI at 25 until then.  Arby's, here I come.

Congrats!

I was thinking they might move it up as it seems like there are a ton of appointments to be had for this week - seems like way more appointments than there are 1A and 1B eligible people left who haven't gotten the vaccine yet and want it.  I also got an appointment for Monday afternoon - happy to be getting it done a week earlier now.

Make weight, then run laps in a heated wrestling room with garbage bags on.

I knew a wrestler guy in HS who carried a jar all day, spitting. 

Every tenth of an ounce counts.

FYI—was able to schedule an appointment at the wisconsin center for next week with the new guidelines

UWM and Aurora are putting on a clinic at their Union. Lots of timeslots available, and they'll schedule the second dose before you leave.

Tommy Thompson said early on the UW System schools were going to be locations for mass vaccine clinics.  Great move by him.

I'm going there this weekend - I've heard they have a real efficient operation going there.

[mu_hilltopper]

Got my vaccination at Froedert's clinic.  Extremely efficient, I don't think I waited more than 10 seconds at any station.

They asked zero questions about my eligibility.

But .. the gal stuck me and I felt nothing.   Then she said she didn't know where to put the bandaid as I had no drops of blood.  -- (The higher your BAC .. Blood Arby's Content .. the less it wants to leave your body.)   

She double checked the syringe to make sure it was empty though.

I feel no soreness an hour later.  So .. I got the shot, maybe.

[rocky_warrior]

So .. I got the shot, maybe.

Very reassuring!  Which flavor?
