I’m also curious which ones you ended up going for if you wouldn’t mind sharing!

Good to know that tall boots are “out”!! In rural Midwest, we get trends after most of the country does….. That will help narrow down my options.

I’m out of touch I think on style for footwear…. I have a pair of Merrell boots (these https://www.zappos.com/p/merrell-andover-peak-waterproof-espresso/product/9258280/color/359) in the darkish brown. Then I have a pair of grey wedge booties I got from StitchFix a few years ago by now that I pull out once in awhile. https://poshmark.com/listing/Stitch-Fix-Wedge-Booties-5d2cf26419c157288ce61449 I just ordered this pair off Zappos (cuz I love their free and easy returns and might end up sending them right back) https://www.zappos.com/p/lifestride-adriana-mushroom/product/8946321/color/1679 I have a few other random pairs of booties that I pull out now and then, but are not high in my rotation… I feel like I want a slightly nicer close-to-knee-high boot like the Merrill’s, but am not sure what I should be looking for. I would wear them with leggings and skinny jeans this winter. Wondering if anyone has any they are loving!

They were different... Both Moderna and Pfizer.

Ok all, jumping back in here. Sorry for the delay - I don’t tend to hang out here that frequently. I read through all the comments I’d missed since posting last, but admit I just skimmed the past two pages since it looks like the conversation digressed into another topic. I don’t know how to quote multiple posts, but thank you to the few who haven’t assumed I’m somehow incompetent at giving an accurate description of what we saw 🙂 Again I say, I am not a theorist; I‘m actually quite sane and opposed to anything that smacks of conspiracy theories. I’m not on here purposefully to spread propaganda or anything. I do realize it is impossible to get a handle of who people are on here, but for those who have doubted, I do ask you at least respect my intelligence 🙂 At our class on Tuesday we did get a video of one of the ladies whose last shot was 3-4 weeks ago (or so). It was taken on my instructor’s phone (I should have brought in my iPad, but didn’t think of it). She can text it to me, but not email it. I have my “semi smart phone” turned into a “dumb” phone on purpose. If I turn on WiFi would I be able to email it from my text to my email address? The pull on hers wasn’t as strong as it was two weeks ago, but it still did stick. It was a “pull” (though slight) sensation, not a “stick to bandaid” sensation. On Thursday there was a woman who had one shot in each arm (all others had both in the same arm), the most recent one being a month ago. This one *sort of* stuck, but not convincingly enough for me compared to the others. This was a light attendance week with it being after Memorial Day. I’m hoping more are there next week who wouldn’t mind videoing. We did try it on myself, both arms, and there was no evidence of the “pull” anywhere in the areas we found it on others.

I know it seems odd. Were I on the other side in a similar conversation I’d be saying and thinking the same things. I am not saying I believe anything untoward was in the vaccine at all. All I’m saying is what we saw. And these were women (and one man) who for the most part were very excited to get the vaccine (a couple were a bit more hesitant, but chose to do so anyway). I am intrigued by the piece of tissue paper under the magnet idea, though...

Oops, sorry, responded to you but forgot to quote you.

It’s hit or miss who will be at class when I’m there next week, but I’m willing to ask and see if they wouldn’t mind! I had Covid within the past two months and am not vaccinated by recommendation of my healthcare provider d/t knowledge of personal health history.

Very interesting. So, really, as with many things in life it boils down to - who really knows? 🙂

Again, for purposes of scientific research 😉 These people all had received both doses. No idea if that would be a difference or not.

Nope, no non-vaccinated people. Ours wasn’t a super duper strong magnet - just one of those round ones that come with marker boards (but stronger than the little ones that come on the back of markers that stick to same marker boards, if you know what I mean). I wonder if you used a slightly less strong one if that would be any different? Also curious (just cuz, ya know, I am) if you waited and tested after a week if there would be any different response? Again, I’m not crazy psycho theorist at all - just wanting to try different things out to see if there is any pattern!

That is a good question - doing it within 4 weeks of receiving any other vaccine. We did not try testing anyone there who had not be vaccinated, so no idea if that would have been found or not!

Don’t worry, I’m not offended. The arms were not sticky, we did this before class. You can choose to believe or not; like I said, I’m not wanting to spend any mental bandwidth on why this might be the case. All I’m sharing is my first hand experience. To be honest, I’m very much not a conspiracy theorist and with just having heard about this being thrown about as a “thing,” I TOTALLY would have chalked it up to YouTube videos looking for hits. After having seen this, however, I’m at least convinced of the fact that this does, at least in some cases, prove to be a true finding.

I’m in the medical field and know where vaccines are administered. My exercise class instructor was talking about this one day two weeks ago. Since then we have tested 7 people there at class or in the building who were curious about this since they did get the vaccine. Only a couple of them were able to do this to themselves (perhaps because they weren’t sure or didn’t remember the exact spot where they were vaccinated). When I did it for them (knowing where would be the most likely spot for administration), it stuck. 7 out of 7 people so far. Both Moderna and Pfizer, with second dose having been received 2-4 weeks prior to us testing this. We used one of those inch round magnets that often come with marker boards, if you know what I mean. We were all floored. So, though I do not pretend to know they how or why behind this, I am 100% convinced that those magnets stuck, independently, and they stayed there until they were physically removed from said person’s arm.

I haven’t watched the whole video yet, just a few pics. But in response to everyone saying that she was only a 15 y/o, is there anyway the officer could have known this from the initial 911 call? And if she was a more mature looking girl, is there anyway in 10 seconds he could have determined child vs adult in his mind? Not that it would necessarily matter, I’m just wondering if anyone knows if he had any foreknowledge of this.

Jumping in to follow this thread...

I’m all ears.....

YES! To OED. And World Book is the way I would lean, as well.

Wonderful to know.... Thanks!

So, if you had to choose, which would you save from your burning house?? 🙂

I grew up with World Book and wish I had a set. Just need to know where to find one!

So, how important is it in 8th grade for students to have another go around of physical science? Would it be wise for me to have her to a Physical Science course of some sort, or is it best to let them have a “fun year” of studying what they are interested in?? I keep flip-flopping back and forth in my mind....

Also, sorry, for the Ocean First Marine Biology short courses (as the long course said grades 9-12, not sure how in depth it goes?), it says grades 6-12. Have you done these - do you know how long each video is and/or have an idea how many one would do in a week? I’m not finding that info anywhere...

No, strong Christian but don’t need or actually prefer YE. Secular is usually fine.

Neutral is good. And either online or home. She’s done two live online sciences the past two years, and I was thinking of directing the funds into some different online classes this year and maybe sticking with less spendy options, but am open to considering. I will check out Great Courses, and look at the marine biology course, that sounds intriguing.
