  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>

 AA> BTW.. A MESSAGE TO ALL: this echo is now available to anyone

 AA> send a message to @aabolins or @cepiersonjr and either of us

  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.
