- I have to walk by Popeye's to go to the Post Office so I can see if there's a line. -- nm - Max Feb 1, 09:11 3

  - my radicalized boss is NOT getting the vaccine. I explained to her that different vaccines work in different ways so maybe she will be willing - amanda jeans Feb 1, 09:01 6
    - Oh, uh, yes ma'am, this vaccine was organically grown. It also has no GMOs, gluten, or fluoride. -- nm - Doc Feb 1, 09:08
