    We beat a TCU team missing about a third of its starters despite Casey's shitty play. We beat OSU if he doesn't throw the pick-six. He's missed open deep balls in each loss that he started. He doesn't see guys who are open all over the field because he locks onto one player before the snap, and doesn't find other players unless he bails from the pocket and runs around, which defeats the purpose of Sark's offense which schemes guys open all over the field that a decent pocket passer with a decent arm should be able to find in his sleep. 

    seems he's had quite a few intentional grounding calls as well

    did I imagine this or did the announcer say that Arkansas hate us more than they like themselves?

    he did and its true.

     

    I live in Texarkana and they hate Texas as much today as they did when they left for the SEC.

  3. Wife went in on her off day to  do monoclonal antibody infusions to help reduce the backlog. Patient  got up and hugged her when she was done and said you are so sweet for doing this.   Lets see how the N95, face shield, gown and 2400 antibody count work out.

    For those in the 2,500 and up club, what were you all?

    Pfizer here, last vaccine in May.

    Pfizer.

    My wife got her pfizer booster a week and a half before testing and read 2420. She's on a a lot of immunosuppressants for her RA and had zero side effects from all 3 shots so we were happy to see she had a response.

    wait this is what i got after following the email link. 

    From the lab report.

    does that mean my antibody #s are >2500? what's the 0.0 number?  wish they'd have an explanation of what these things meant.

     

     

     

    I tested above range as well. The zero number means it didn't detect that you've had an actual covid infection so no natural antibodies(I think lol)

    $600 bonus + time and a half for every extra day shift you pick up and $800 bonus + time and a half and shift diff for every night shift you pick up.

    And down the street at Baylor health system they’re offering $15k sign-on bonus for RT’s with a 2 or 3 year commitment. Craziness

    Kind of how  they are doing it here, except your first extra shift is  time and half plus $600, the second+ is time and half plus $800

    So are hospitals just trading staffs so that they can all get that signing bonus money?  Or are they also offering that for nurses to stay, and sign a similar commitment letter?

    Some are trading. Some are just quitting and going to work for a home health/travel nurse agency and coming back to the same job/hospital at $150/hr instead of the $35-$40 they were making. The nurses that stay are then pissed off at making a third or less of what the  person beside them is making.

    Got my 3rd Moderna shot today from a nearby Walgreens. My 2nd dose was late January. I’m technically immunocompromised due to an autoimmune condition and due to the immunosuppressant I take for it, although it’s not nearly as bad as having cancer or an organ transplant. I’m also a physician and see ~140 people a week, many of whom are elderly and many of whom are undoubtedly unvaccinated, so I figured it was a good time to get the 3rd shot and hopefully reduce my chances of getting or spreading Delta.

    There were 4 other people there, all getting their first shot. It made me somewhat happy to see there is still a small trickle of people choosing the vaccine.

    I wonder if part of the September 20 date for boosters was chosen to allow unvaccinated people ~1 month to finally get 1st and 2nd doses before there is a new rush of already vaccinated people getting 3rd doses.

    How effective is the vaccine while on immune suppressing drugs? My wife just had her 3rd shot and has had zero side effects from all 3 shots. I know the first two she quit taking the drugs for a week but dont think she did for the 3rd.

    That 30% figure surprises me not at all.  It's why I was able to get the first shot in December.  Tons of refusals locally.  Needed to get shots in arms before they went bad.

    thats how I got mine so early as well

    Um, really hope you got that backwards or only 30 percent have voluntarily identified or something. Otherwise, yikes.

    She told me that a few weeks ago, it may be a little higher now but 30% is still higher than the general population in the areaspacer.pngspacer.png

  10. Wife has RA so she went to Target and got her 3rd shot today.  She said the pharmacy tech didn't ask her anything about underlying conditions.  She also got an email from the hospital she works at. They are going to pay every employee that gets/has had the vaccine $250. Currently about 30% of the employees are vaccinated.
