Subj : Shingrex was: weather w To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Jan 29 2020 08:42:00 Hi Nancy! NB>>>> Our store now has the Shingrex available on a regular basis.... NB> NB>>> And I saw your later message where you had asked, and apparently NB>>> your store still has the waiting list... I forget, did you find NB>>> out where you were on your list...? It seems a little surprising NB>>> that the two pharmacies apparently were given different info... NB>>> but maybe it's that the interpreted what the supplier told them NB>>> differently... I still have to find the time to get mine.... :) BM>> I didn't ask where I was on the list -- (a) sort of supposed when it's BM>> my turn I'll be notified, (b) when I did ask it took a long time to BM>> find my name as that particular list didn't have a find function so had BM>> to be scanned by eye. NB>> Hopefully it'll be coming up soon then... I'd probably keep checking, NB>> though, just in case they scrap their list too... ;) BM> Yes, probably every couple/few months. NB> And I still haven't managed to get mine yet... other stuff seems NB> to be more important at the moment... So my general procrastination is contagious?! And LIS earlier, I'm not too concerned about getting the Shingrex shot as have had the original vaccine and last visit with the medical doctor he wasn't at all concerned other than I should have it when it becomes available. BM>> And I don't recall if you mentioned or already know but this vaccine BM>> is a two-parter: from what I read two to six months after the initial BM>> shot a second is given. No idea why the wide variance in when the BM>> second shot is given. NB>> Don't remember if I mentioned it before or not, but yes I knew that NB>> it's a two-parter.... that was part of why they weren't starting any NB>> new patients with it, what they had had to be saved for those that NB>> had already had the first dose.... The variance is probably just NB>> that it needs to wait for at least the 2 months, but needs to be NB>> given within the six to be effective.... BM> I was thinking along the same lines, though looking back didn't phrase BM> it all correctly. NB> OK... then we have the same understanding of it... :) Yes; my usual skipping of words thing. NB>>>> ... Hello, I am part number ||#||||#||#||#|| BM>>> And here I was thinking the bar code meant what kind of a drinking BM>>> establishment! NB>>> That's a different sort of bar code... ;) BM>> One would think with 26 letters we could come up with a better variety BM>> of words! NB>> You'd think... But there's lots of words with multiple NB>> meanings depending on context.... :) BM> I know! Was thinking back to my chat with the hotel staff re: "read": BM> she had said thought it was pronounced 'reed' and her roommate 'red'. NB> Yup, multiple pronunciations, too... They were both right, NB> depending, again, on the context... Present tense is `reed', past NB> tense is `red'... And "lead" is 'leed' if it's talking about the NB> action, and 'led' if talking about the mineral... :) Yes! At the time I did bring up another word with multiple pronunciation and meanings but same spelling and mad ea little fun of the English language ==> more to emphasize they (the staff I was talking to) were technically correct and the language was a little crazy. ... Found something a couple of months ago: the 'a' sounds in "Australia" have three different sounds! I'd guess because of the adjacent letters, especially vowels, but still.... BM> And of course the word 'set' has something like 60 different BM> definitions. (No, did not bring that one up!!) Plus words that sound BM> the same: threw and through. Gaaa!!! NB> Lots of just needing to memorize what is which and where... ;) I didn't bring it up at the hotel chat but one could spell 'fish' as 'ghoti': the f-sound is 'tough', forgot the 'i', 'ti' as in 'nation'. (How d'heck does one get the 'sh' sound out of that??!!" ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
