I've been in the "don't want to jinx" camp on not having one on hand. Though lately I've been wondering if that's how I reverse the jinx?

Adding my experience to say that not everyone has a bad reaction to the vaccine. I didn't, though I was glad to have been warned and was ready and cleared my day.
Just in case it helps convince even one extra person to get it...

There's a long standing GenX joke about overestimating quicksand being a problem as an adult.
But the lesser underestimated "I'm rubber, you're glue" in the array of things we needed to deal with is really holding its own these days...

Me? About halfway thru the '24 campaigning I regularly did a STOP reply and things tailed off and never picked back up. I focused on ones from Newsom and Pelosi. Left the Harris/Walz ones alone until after the election.
Now, I get the rare email from out of area and extremely rare texts.

Saw last year's video and bought a set of Vintaglo classics for the tree. Love them!
Wish I'd bought more because I had to supplement with the regular white LEDs I had and yikes they are too bright!
The chandelier explainer helped too so thanks - that's now on the list to swap out🤣!

It's not discontinued that I know of but I wore Estee Lauder Spellbound back in my twenties (it was the late 80s & 90s). I stopped wearing fragrance when I moved to California and never resumed. At least yet.
