I remember in the first grade back in 1956, that we all got polio shots....I think just one. I think we brought a dime or a quarter to school to pay for it.

We also got TB vaccinations....I think I had had a measles vaccination before school started.

I still have the mark on my left arm. It always amuses me that in period pictures such as The Story of Peter often actors and actresses such as Martha Hyer have distinct vaccination marks on their arms.....

Five of the six of us in the meeting yesterday were leaning toward cancellation of the season.....a firm decision will be made the last week of May or the first week of June.

Just so you know:

There’s an unavoidable tug of war today between zodiac opposites, the Taurus sun and the super full moon in emotional Scorpio. When you dive into these intense and passionate waters, getting lost in the deep end is inevitable.

The full Scorpio moon likes to dare you to look at the darker parts of yourself, putting a spotlight on rebirth and transformation. This lunation encourages you to do some inner soul searching, and it warns you not to divulge too much to anyone you don’t trust. Positive breakthroughs are possible, but they should be private ones. When the time is right to show the world, you’ll know.

We were a Rambler family from roughly 1958 through roughly the early 1970s. The first few were Rambler Americans, and I don't know about the latter ones. At that point I was off to school and don't know what the models were.

Following that, they went to a mid-1970s Ford LTD which was probably the only time they ever had a typically large American sedan. At some point they downsized to a Ford Escort. I know the last car was a Hyundai Sonata. I might be missing one or two in the years I was only around for visits.

Re vaccinations:

I believe it was the smallpox shot that left the scar. Out here, girls got it in the butt; boys got it in the arm.

We got some of our vaccinations at school. They used the air gun for some of them. I have no idea what was in those.

I remember getting the sugar cube for polio. There was a big tile mural with lots of colors. We went up some steps to get into a room. Years later, I discovered it was the high school auditorium. I remembered it from when I was about 5.

My understanding is that they don't give TB vaccinations in the US. They do a skin test, though. We got that in 8th grade.

They didn't give the shot with whooping cough in it to adults, because adults were not at risk for whooping cough. It was just tetanus/diphtheria. It wasn't until several years ago when there was an outbreak in California that they began giving the three-part shot to adults. I had to convince my doctor to give it to me two years after the TD shot because at that time I was going to California several times a year and was around kids at church. Now it is routine, and they recommend it for grandparents. Pregnant women get it with each pregnancy.

I have memories of waiting in line for the polio vaccine in the lobby of Wilson School. Were there four sessions? I remember both sugar cubes and arm injections, but I'm not sure they were for the same thing.

I remember getting the polio vaccine. I don't remember the shot for sure, but I do remember the sugar cubes. We lined up in the gym for shots several times when I was growing up, can't remember what they were all for.

I'm getting close to being caught up on my big backlog of briefs and other major work projects. I think that's why I'm getting stir crazy, but out numbers are still going up big time, so I know I need to stay home

Our governor is going to open up retail here on Friday. How stupid. hospitalizations are up, cases are up, deaths are up, we are number 1 in current cases per 1000 population, but we're going to open up. Whatever. I'm just glad I have a job I can do from home and have plenty of work to do for now.

They are planning to start opening the federal court soon and the state courts in July. We do some things now, but the vast majority are being moved a couple months. It's going to be a giant cluster when it all opens at once. So, I'm doing my best to resolve everything I can now so it won't be a nightmare.

cillaliz · « **Reply #50 on:** May 07, 2020, 11:23:07 AM »

I am caught up enough that it's starting to drive me crazy that things aren't getting back to normal and we are so far behind everywhere else on the curve. A lot of the time I love being home alone, but Sat. would have been my sister's birthday, Sunday is mother's day and DN Samantha's birthday and I'm stuck here. The family pretty much agrees that it's better if I don't go there right now, but it's still nagging at me.

The weather is suppose to get really cold. If it warms up, I want to paint the gazebo and try to get it all fixed up. The old hardware store that used to fix the screens, broken tabs on my windows etc. closed their location near me for a number of years - now they have found a new location that is almost as close. I'm hoping they can repair the gazebo screens for me...or refer me to someone who can build new ones. I'd love to put combination windows in there, but it's just too expensive for a gazebo
