[John G.]

Five!

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

I'm sorry you lost a friend, John G. At least you have the olive tree to remember her by.

[Jeanne]

Glad to hear that Elmore's unemployment crisis is over. I imagine many others are going through the same thing. 

[Jeanne]

Today I received my stimulus "check." Instead of a paper check I received a debit card. What the hell do I do with this thing? Many low-income people do not have bank accounts, so this would be helpful to them. I can use it in stores or online, they say, but I'd much rather it go into my checking account. Gawd! I'll have to contact my incompetent bank and ask if there's some way to get the funds into my account. Another example of technology being used to make things more difficult, instead of easier. It's humans making these decisions.

[Jeanne]

This morning, my friend Carol is headed into surgery as they try again to give her an artificial hip. I hope this time everything goes well.

Surgery and recovery vibes to Carol!

[Jeanne]

Today he called to say he tested positive and to ask us to get tested

Vixmom, I am relieved you are negative, but sorry to hear about your boss. Does he have any idea where he caught it?

[Jeanne]

I forgot to mention that we watched episode 1 of Atlantic Crossing on PBS last night, and found it quite gripping.

I was in tears at the end of episode 2.

[Jeanne]

Arizona never had a mask mandate. Our governor refused to allow local governments to require masks until our numbers were out of control last summer. After he finally decided to allow local governments to make their own decisions, our numbers went way down. He recently signed an executive order saying local governments can no longer require masks.

From what I've seen, people still wear them when going into stores because the stores require them. But I still don't go into stores often.

I will be glad to get a haircut. I haven't had a haircut in over a year. But that will be a while yet.

~~~Vibes of Continued Covid Coping for Laura and Everyone!!~~~

Yes! It's been quite a year for us all!

[Jeanne]

Back from Gelson's and picking up some mail, including a refund from SoCal Gas from 2017 that I'd never gotten. That'll buy me three meals.

Did they just issue the refund or it's been in the mail all this time?

[Jeanne]

We also recently heard about someone who'd been vaccinated who tested positive for it several weeks later.

It's indeed disheartening to hear that, but I was reminded that it doesn't mean you won't get it, period. Just as with flu shots, it means you have the best chance of not getting it badly. At any rate, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. 

There was an article just recently about 12 people, I think, in Washington state who were fully vaccinated, yet still got it. Wasn't that something you posted, George?

[Jane]

I mean, cages for the plants to keep the rabbits out. But I'm sure you knew that.

LOL, I knew.

[Jane]

DR Laura I hope your cages work well.

[Jeanne]

I wish DRs TCB, elmore3003, and Jeanne could get in to see their doctors sooner than the system seems to move.

Thank you, Sing.

[Jane]

I got a thumb's up from Carol, but no further message. She's got to be tired.

Great.  That was nice she was able to let you know she is ok.

[Jane]

DR Jeanne I saw this online:

To transfer money from your stimulus debit card to your bank account, go to the EIP Card website or use the Money Network mobile app, and select the option to “Move Money Out.” You'll need both the routing number and the account number from your bank account to make the transfer.

I hope your bank can help you.

I scheduled my rides for next week. United Healthcare is using a different contractor now. They were even worse than before. I really like the concept, but loathe the execution. In an ideal world, I'd have a sane and reliable Uber/LYft/someone else to provide rides to medical appointments.                           

[Jane]

I found the link because I was curious why someone I figured had direct deposit with the IRS would get a debit card.

Thanks, Jane. An article like that should have been included with our cards. I never even thought about the fees.

[Jeanne]

My last two stimulus checks came Direct Deposit. I have no idea why this one didn't. It would have been much easier for me.

[Jeanne]

Healthy vibes to all.

TTFN.

I know.  The headline caught my attention.

From what I could tell you should have received a direct deposit again.

Bought a pot of canary yellow calla lilies today. Now I have to see how to treat them in Texas.

[Jane]

The second cat shirt I ordered to entertain Freyja arrived today.  I love the neckline, the quality of it, & the soft light weight sweatshirt.  The embroidered books & cat look much prettier in person.  Disappointing is that it is a bit too big though I prefer that to too small. 

[singdaw]

It's cute, DR Jane.

[singdaw]

  I was in tears at the end of episode 2. 

We were too, tonight.

[singdaw]

The building has advised they'll get the AC up and running in about 3 weeks. I hate to grumble, but that's too long, in my book.

[Jane]

It's cute, DR Jane.

Thanks.
