OP has one post on TOB so may not yet be able to receive PMs.

fishcake,

I got mine in Calif. but it was several months ago and I don't recall how long it took. I'm pretty sure that I had it within a month. A Canadian friend who was vaccinated in Calif. tried to register himself on the Calif. registry from Canada and was unable to do so. I don't know if he tried using a VPN or if that would have helped.

Pete, 

a QR code is something like a bar code. Your phone probably has a QR reader installed on it or you can easily install one yourself. You go to the Wash. State registry site and scan a QR code linked to your vaccination record.  Permanently store it in your phone. When somebody needs to see your record you simply pull it up on your phone. Mine is from Calif. but Wash. looks like probably the same form that I filled out. Very simple.

The Washington registry is at      https://waverify.doh.wa.gov/

A little more info for Wash.      https://www.doh.wa.gov/Emergencies/COVID19/VaccineInformation/VaccinationVerification

You should be able to do it on your My Social Security page. If you do not already have a My Social Security page I don't believe that you will be able to create one from outside of the U.S.

Mod5, here. My inbox is empty, except a spam or two from Millet, Alberta....

Oh, gawd!!!!

I've been seeing "Abby Normal" posts coming from that device since 2011. I haven't noticed any quality issues.

Ferret, don't despair, the end may be in sight this time.

Vaccine Police founder suggests drinking....

My Canadian friend was vaccinated while he spent the winter in California. After he returned to Canada he tried to register his vaccinations on the California registry and was refused due to being in Canada. For California, anyway, they care about where you are domiciled and not where you were when vaccinated. I would think that you might work around that problem with a VPN.

Does My State Have A Vaccine App?

 ...more of the cocina topic, but I just wanted to catch the eyes of anyone....

Am I really the only one who sees all of this crap? Does everybody else have to specifically search out each and every new post? The first time I took notice of this phenomenon was when the board blew because the pet column was reorganized and people were afraid that nobody would ever be able to find reports of downtrodden dogs and cats. Why do I see every new post and others apparently see only the posts that don't matter to them? Is this a conspiracy? I don't mean to introduce politics into this but i do use Linux.

You may find some info in this conversation from 2018.

I saw the same message. No lingering problem with Chrome.

I agree with Shag. I would try white noise for awhile before considering packing up and moving.

...weve always had a box fan on high  or mediam by our heads at night to "white noise" ....

I've had a couple of smart displays (one Lenovo/Google and one Amazon) and both have ambient noise machines with many choices of whatever type of noise is desired. Everything from white noise, grey noise, pink noise, surf, wind, crickets, crackling fire,....you name it. When my Lenovo crapped out I nearly panicked wondering how I would get through a few nights waiting for the replacement to arrive.

Superlake sells a dried type you can mix for liquid buttermilk. It is reasonable and you can keep it on a shelf instead of the extra going bad.

Does that powder simply flavor the milk or does it thicken the milk like the cultured buttermilk from the refrigerator case.

I have a recognized vaccine and I can get a different second one enroute (i think) to Canada.

I read recently that you must be fully vaccinated for two weeks prior to crossing into Canada to avoid quarantine. I have no plan to go to Canada anytime soon so I didn't pay close attention to where I read it.

...To this day, I believe they have never been able recover a DNA of the actual virus.

Here is an interesting article from the CDC on how the virus was recreated in the lab. The article is fairly short and only gets bogged down in jargon in a few places.

No need, he had a UV light shoved up his, uh,.....self.

Repeated three times. You’re adamant about it, aren’t you?

Jeez, I hoped nobody would notice.

Somehow I posted it twice and while trying to remove one of those I ended up with the third one. I firmly believe in the advice: If at first you don't succeed try and try again, then quit. There's no point in making a damned fool of yourself.

I've had the same handle on many different forums since 1997. Think about it. Same handle for over twenty years.

More than 20 years on forums and you still feed every troll who comes along?

I don't know if this is true in Mexico but in the U.S. non-Amazon stores (Best Buy, Target, etc.) are still selling brand new older 4K models while Amazon is selling only their newest models and some refurbs. The same may be true in Mexico. AFAIK the difference between the 2020 release and the 2021 release is the addition of 4 pre-selected channel buttons on the 2021 remote. I am not a fan of those buttons so I prefer the 2020 release which is not available from Amazon---at least in the U.S. Pay close attention to model numbers and release dates.

Years ago it all started with "Soylent Green".  Solved many problems and the "patent" is likely under intensive review in Brazil.

I hope you're thinking of Pink Slime and not Soylent Green. Soylent Green will probably come soon enough.

Take a good book to read while you wait in line. I suggest Government by B. Traven. 

Pete,

don't make any unchangeable plans for a few days after your second injection. That second one is the one that can often cause a reaction that may last a few days. If there is a reaction it may be nearly unnoticeable (I slept for 24 hours) or it may come with high fever, headache, weakness and body aches. Everybody that I have talked to agrees that the reaction can be very uncomfortable but worth it.
