It seems like we are still getting vaccinated, and it’s been a week since i put one of these up. I hope that our international friends who have been waiting (patiently?) are finally able to be vaccinated.
If you let us know in one of the last comments in the previous thread, you might want to post again here so we can all share your good news.
Tell me which stickers you want, so I can sticker you!
ruemara’s kitties, Odoroki and Himesama:

Not Covid related but we’re going to need a post on Ukraine news AS SOON AS FCKING POSSIBLE because if the Ukraine/NATO report is true, then Biden and Western Europe is bitch-slapping that SOB Putin today.
Elizabelle
@PaulWartenberg: Agree. Would like to see the whole press conference, too. Am guessing I tuned in at the end (last three questions).
I’d love to have a Ukraine/open thread, actually.
WaterGirl
I will put up a thread ASAP but some detail from you about what happened would be helpful.
WaterGirl
@PaulWartenberg:
I can’t find anything on this in particular. What are you referring to?

Covid adjacent. We went to a birthday party on Sunday = Pineapple Monsoon day. While the west bakes Seattle was being drowned in relentless rain from systems sweeping in moisture from the tropics. Humidity 100% and a small basement apartment, ugh! But… there were 25 fully vaccinated folks on the fully covered (clear plastic roof) terrace and upper level deck. It was like partying in a drum but was so great to be outside in shirtsleeves without dripping sweat. All vegan food with a decadent chocolate cake. I want the recipe for the noodles that were umami heaven!
There was even singing and hugging!!
Hooray for Seattle getting to 70%.
WaterGirl
@Dan B: Is that 70% of all humans, or 70% of 12 and over?
Either way it’s great, but the detail makes a difference.
Leslie
I can’t remember if I ever reported back after my second shot, so just in case, I was fully vaccinated as of April 7. Could I have the Doses Done Ducklings, please?
NotMax
FYI, site has been an absolute mess about updating comment threads over like the past week. especially during nighttime hours.
Most egregious example, one which I actually timed:
Typed up a comment, hit the Post Comment button
Comment not showing either on the page itself nor in Recent Comments on that page
Changed tabs and refreshed front page, comment showing in Recent Comments there
Went back to the tab with the comments thread, did a refresh every 60 seconds by the clock, took 11 minutes until comment appeared on that comments thread page
.
Probably related, right side fly-out not appearing on comments page for what was the topmost front page post until many minutes following a newer front page post.

I got J&J in Berlin on Friday. One and done with the cat for me, please.
Germany is still catching up, though. Only one state here (Saarland, the smallest that isn’t a city-state) has broken 30% fully vaccinated, and only a few have topped 50% with the first dose. The spreads are reassuringly close, though: 43% to 53% on first doses, and 24% to 31% fully vaccinated. Local lags seem to be logistics, and not ideology.
Elizabelle
@WaterGirl:
Thanks, WaterGirl, for putting up the fresh thread.
Who knew that I was going to end up enjoying Biden’s press conferences even more than Obama’s?
But I do. Because Biden is succinct and it is refreshing to hear smart and principled after 4 years of wilding.

Got my 2nd Pfizer today. After the 1st, I was tired and achy for a couple of days. So far, no Ill effects this time.
I would like Dr Corbett please
WaterGirl
@Doug: Mr. Bear has been crushed that he has only been chosen a couple of times, so your selection is a nice boost for him. :-)

Jab Two was 5/25. 5/26-7 were a bear, but good since.
sab
@NotMax: I had my first ever comment eaten last night. I hit post. Then maybe I hit post again. Then it said double post. Then no comment showed up. It was late so I rolled over and went to sleep.
Also, my embiggening is out of control. As I scroll up and down a thread the maRgins and size of the print grows and shrinks almost at random, so the right hand next thread arrow is almost always invisible unless the type is tiny. This could be the site, or could be my ancient Nook ( android.) I should probably email Watergirl but it doesn’t bother me enough to bother, unless it is not just me dealing with it.
sab
@WaterGirl: Mr Bear has the most gorgeous yellow eyes.
WaterGirl
@boatboy_srq: Glad that’s over! What stickers would you like?
WaterGirl
@sab: What device are you using? I have had 3 complaints about phones today.
WaterGirl
@sab: I agree with you. He is my beautiful boy.

OT note:

Eligible for my second shot on June 24th. Waiting impatiently. There is a significant anti-vax movement here in Dominica. Based on the whole gamut of conspiracy theories. They want to open up for tourism. A little scary with the Delta variant on the move.

Excited that my 12-year old son just got his first shot today. He has a horrible needle phobia. The woman at Walgreens was so kind, talked him through it, and he was so proud of himself when he left the store. She gave him a $5 coupon for Walgreens, so that helped too. Just my 10-year old twins to go, and both of them are actually excited to get it and keep asking me how long until Labor Day (which is when they are saying they expect to approve for 5 to 11 year olds).
WaterGirl
@Betty: if I could pick a sticker for you it would either by WHY? or WTF? Or maybe Henry to hang with you while you wait another 10 dys.
But you should get to pick your own.
Henry insisted on waiting with you. What could I do? If you would like another one, let me know.
WaterGirl
@TheflipPsyd: That is a big deal. Good for him, he should be proud!
What stickers?
TheflipPsyd
@WaterGirl: Thanks — the Samwise one
Chris Johnson
As on the tail end of the former thread… Second Moderna acquired.
Odoroki for me. The Shot, it is done :)
Scamp Dog
Got my second Pfizer jab this morning. Being a smart alec, I had to ask if it was the one that modified my DNA, or the one that installs the microchip. She ran with it and came back with “microchip”, so I told her I was looking forward to the 5G upgrade. We kidded around a bit more, then I waited around to make sure I didn’t have a reaction, and I was good to go.
I’ll take the Doses Done ducklings, please and thank you!
NetheadJay
2 weeks past first jab with Pfizer nanoparticles. I would like a Samwise 1 dose is done.
phdesmond
my appointment for the second Moderna vaccination is Thursday.
i’ve lined up a ride already, because “i am not throwin’ away my shot!”
https://youtu.be/AcM20zu51Aw
WaterGirl
@phdesmond: Henry wanted to hang out with you while you wait.
phdesmond
@WaterGirl:
how very kind!
No name
@WaterGirl: Please tell Mr. Bear that I would have certainly chosen him but I got a 2 dose vaccine so was concerned it was inappropriate ?
Betty
@WaterGirl: Henry is adorable! Thank you, Henry.?
EM
I get my 2nd shot of Moderna this Friday.
Cliff Wirt
Got the second shot of Moderna about a month ago. I will take the “Done!” sticker.
WaterGirl
@No name: Most people have completely disregarded the words on the photos and just pick the stickers they like. It’s balloon juice, after all – we should have expected nothing less!
Mr. Bear thanks you for your kind message.
WaterGirl
@EM: Go you!
WaterGirl
@Cliff Wirt: I can’t believe we only have one sticker that says “Done!” but that appears to be the case.
If Nancy Smash wasn’t who you wanted, let me know.
otmar
The vaccination pace is still picking up in Austria. I got my first Moderna 3 days ago. They transformed Vienna’s conference center in a big vacc site. All smooth and it’s clear that the bottleneck is still the number of shots available.
I talked to the doctor, showed her my antibody test results and she said that I can cancel my appointment for the second dose.
So the ducklings are appropriate.
Doug
@WaterGirl: His side effects were very strong, but I am glad to make his acquaintance.
WaterGirl
@otmar: Interesting. And congratulations!
They are definitely not doing antibody testing where I live.
WaterGirl
wow, there has been a run on ducklings in this thread. I’m gonna have to re-stock. :-)
Gloomyjim
forgot to sound off when it happened. this wednesday will be 2 weeks since 2nd pfizer shot. pick me a good sticker ( i iz kitteh type hooman ).
WaterGirl
@Gloomyjim: You got all the kitties!
