So many needles. I am getting my new covid booster, and a shingles vaccine on Saturday. Then, my flu booster next Wednesday at a work clinic. - Andie Oct 19, 06:52 16
- Travel doc told me the most they’ll do is eight at a time, 4 in each arm. I got six once. -- nm - mafic Oct 19, 07:25 3
  - that seems like a *lot* -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 07:26 2

- Interesting. The CVS here didn't recommend stacking up the Shingles with the others. My wife needs hers so we're getting the flu + covid on Friday - oblique Oct 19, 06:58 9
  - yep, shingles plus COVID knocked us out for two days or so. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Oct 19, 07:21
  - i was booking online and it gave me the option to add it to the appointment, i have to be 'assessed', but it suggested it to me. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 07:00 2
    - (it's been on my to-do list for... a while.) -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 07:01 1
      - I had it done 2 years ago. My arm was the most sore from that shot but overall it wasn't bad at all. -- nm - oblique Oct 19, 07:02
  - yeah, I need to do shingles (and am planning it separate as well) flu + covid was bad enough for me -- nm - decline Oct 19, 06:59 4
    - that's kinda what the tech insinuated. it was more of a "you're already going to feel like crap" and not to stack more onto it -- nm - oblique Oct 19, 07:01 3
      - i am not doing flu at the same time, i don't think it would have let me do all of them. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 07:02 2
        
        Covid and shingles would be the more important ones. hope it goes well for you! -- nm - oblique Oct 19, 07:03 1
        
        flu was already scheduled at work next week, so i didn't bother. Dave is doing Covid and Flu though (not shingles) -- (edited) - Andie Oct 19, 07:06

- I was inspired to finally go buy an upgrade on Swappa. I have a 7 plus now into an 11. -- nm - Pippy the Lioness Oct 19, 07:08 2

- I went from an 8 to a 14 pro. I like it, but it’s *heavy*. I think next one will be a regular model. difference isn’t enough for my usage. -- nm - mafic Oct 19, 06:25 2
  - At least for the 15 the Pro is lighter than the regular one because of the titanium skeleton. - spamlet Oct 19, 06:26 1
    - Not 14! only about 30g heavier, but still I pick up other people’s phones and wonder at how light they can be. it’s probs double my old phone. - mafic Oct 19, 06:29
