The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Hmmm. We got updated shots in -I think- March. I wonder if it's too soon to get the next update, or if insurance will pay for multiple updates in the same calendar year.

But I am inclined to get it, if possible. I'm old enough to remember crippled classmates, the victims of polio. Not many, as polio was already on the way out when I hit elementary school (60s). But we had a few in my school. Mom remembered a lot more polio victims, and the occasional smallpox victim. Vaccines made all that go away. Young people today have no idea. They don't seem to realize that they don't suffer from those afflictions precisely because of vaccines.
