Controversial Topics Several months ago, I added a private sub-forum to allow members to discuss these topics without fear of infractions or banning. It's opt-in, opt-out. Click Here
Yep, the SoG staff confirmed it is a permanent change, and that really stinks, but what can you do? Like many of you, we made use of that pathway many times in past trips. Last time it was just too dang hot though so we used Ubers for most of the trip and skipped the Shades busses unless it just...
You have to have a military ID to access Shades of Green or are there being sponsored by someone who does. So if you meet that criteria, you can use the amenities at Shades.
That’s the logical way to look at it today, but it doesn’t make the way we have rushed into these vaccines a safe idea. Only time will prove that out. Hopefully it remains so.
Great, you talked me out of that one too!
I work for the DoD and am stuck in Italy. I don’t have freedom of movement or have any options really.
Frankly, I’m prepared to walk away from this job, move to the country and lock myself away from this world.
That’s not it if you read my previous post. I just canceled. I had three sleepless nights since they scheduled me. Might now cause me problems at work, but I’d rather deal with that and another employee have the opportunity to get it that otherwise would have had to wait. If I can get the J&J at...
Nobody can answer that because nobody knows. There has never been a messenger RNA vaccine before. I’m concerned about long term autoimmune issues developing. I am not an anti vaxxer, never refused a shot in my life. I’d do the J&J which is made from dead Covid like a traditional vaccine but...
Remember the Original Hamburger Stand? Worst case of food poisoning I ever had.
I also ate a lot of questionable items in S. Korea, so that was probably more dangerous but I didn’t have the ill effects of the Original Hamburger Stand.
I’ve been offered the Moderna but thinking about declining and waiting for the Johnson & Johnson to be made available. I’m not high risk and I’m still not comfortable with the mRNA derived versions since there has never been one used before. Might cause me trouble at work if I pass though. Ugh.
I was voluntold due to my position by our director, and I’m stuck in Italy so not feeling like it’s much of a choice. I seriously hate these people so much and am considering an early out. In any event, won’t mean much since they don’t even have the vaccine going in Italy for the most part. This...
I’m signed up to get shot one on Friday (Moderna). Not happy about it but work for DoD so not much choice. Less happy that getting fully vaccinated isn’t going to change a darn thing.
I wrote a review once about a hotel in Greece where they demanded I pay in cash even though they took CC’s I found the entire thing both unprofessional and fishy. Wanted to warn others to have cash on hand when staying there. They decided to argue with me on Trip Advisor. I rarely use that site...
This story doesn’t make any sense. So four people who have all had the vaccine tested positive for COVID? If that is what is happening the vaccine would be worthless.
