    LOL! One thing my wife won't tolerate is being afraid of needles. She went through four rounds of IVF to have our two kids and with quite literally the hundreds if not thousands of needle sticks for all the medical treatment and will NOT have kids that are afraid of getting a simple shot. Each kid had one bad experience with a needle and they know now to be more afraid of my wife than a needle

    Not to mention, we make sure to take them with us each time we get a shot in order to model good behavior.

    I prolly did 500 pushups in the past decade. Maybe.

    An idiot friend and I started in January. It was miserable for 3 months. Just miserable. Now I do 4 sets of 125 every 15 minutes 6 days a week. I recognize how crazy this sounds. And I should share that I'm not particularly tough.

    I haven't done 500, 400, 300, 200 or even 100 pushups in the last 4 decades. Had no reason to! Now it hurts my shoulders if I do more than a couple, so I don't.

    I do remember doing about 75 pushups in Dubrovnik, then Yugoslavia, next to the hotel swimming pool, in the summer of 1972. Yes, there were girls who were on the student tour I was on watching, which I'm sure was the motivation for me to do them. I don't think doing them got me anywhere with them...
    Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

    Got my booster yesterday afternoon. Went for a nice bike ride today on singletrack, 11ish miles of rocks and roots. No problems. Well, except my drivetrain is utter crap and and it's old enough that spare parts aren't to be had. Looking into a new bike, which are also hard to come by.

    Anyone have a spare 3x9 XT drivetrain lying around?

    One for the crowd: A college aged kid of mine got a J&J. Given today’s news, which booster would be best?

    Update on my booster aftermath. I did my exercises and pushups yesterday and felt a smidge bad last night. Just a general malaise. Today feel great. Very mild soreness in my shoulder. Very mild.

    Just in case someone doesn't bother to click the link, because I recall some discussion earlier (I think in this thread) about it possibly being beneficial to mix and match:

    The government would not recommend one shot over another, and it might note that using the same vaccine as a booster when possible is preferable

    Not everyone agrees with this. E.g., https://www.statnews.com/2021/10/20/...derna-johnson/

    "It remains to be seen if the CDC — on the advice of the ACIP — turns that permissive recommendation into a preferential one, urging people who got the J&J vaccine to get an mRNA dose as their booster shot. The committee has been concerned for some time about the situation people who got the J&J’s one-and-done vaccine find themselves in, given that the vaccine is less effective than the mRNA vaccines at protecting against Covid infection."

    And this, for those of you who have WaPo subscriptions: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...ooster-pfizer/

    Personally, as a J&J one shotter, I'm leaning to whichever of the mRNA vaccines I can get in the next week.

    I got my first two Moderna shots at the Ingles supermarket pharmacy. I think the choice for a booster is either balsamic or bleu cheese.

    And yet, I feel it is us who should be apologizing to them.

    I would go for both. They go great together!

    I don't think the FDA or CDC have approved both!
