I already tried statistics -- if 95% of the population is vaccinated, and 97% of vaccinated people are immune, then you'd expected about 36% of the people who get the disease to be people who were vaccinated
Uh-huh, sounds like somebody is in the pocket of Big Stats...
Just remember that when you are arguing with a fact-denier on the interwebs, you aren't really trying to change their mind, you're trying to prevent any undecided people reading the conversation from being persuaded to their POV.

This is a very good point.
Lady of the Manners tea + cream and sweetener = so good.
Damn. I had just convinced myself I didn't need to go to TJs this week and then started reading this thread.
Doing my grocery shopping today despite snow (I can hear the snowplows clearing my parking lot right now), I may have to detour by TJ's to try that tomatillo salsa.
cream-top yogurt. Blueberry-cardamom.
Anne, what brand is that? It sounds teh yum.
Avocado and eggs is my OTP food pair. In egg salad is genius. I also slice it up to put inside omelets. There's no way to go wrong with avocado/eggs. Add cream cheese mixed with salsa in the omelet, my tongue goes in paroxyms of delight. If anyone is looking for more avocado recipes, I've got one for making a pesto sauce with it for spaghetti. It tastes so fresh, it makes a great spring recipe (it's even in the name).
-t, I'm glad to hear that; I've got that one on my wish list for my next order.

Wow, Sail, that sounds awesome. Can you post? I don't eat much pasta, but I'm always looking for a good pesto.
Went for a long run with my sister & BIL & niece this morning, which was very nice. Now I need to do laundry and pay bills but I'd much rather laze around the internets...
J has gone off to a car event in Sweden. He managed to get the car company to buy him a ticket two days earlier than the event, so he is first stopping by Holland, to see my bro and SiL. They just moved from their house into a brand new penthouse condo, which overlooks the harbor. I'm so glad he's getting to see them and also jealous as hell.
A coworker at the house where I do all the lovely, healthy menu planning suggested including avacado in things on the grounds of yummy + healthy. I think I will suggest that since she does the shopping, she buy avacados whenever she sees a decent price, and they can add them to salads or whatever when I am not there. Avacados, while delicious, give me a tummy ache so they tend to be in a category of things I simply do not think about.
Before anything, I just want to draw attention to the amount of jokes I immediately thought of from Juliebird:
You didn't consult me about that plow job!
Oh, the resistance necessary.
I have a CU that I love. Moving to a CU from US Bank has been revelatory. I didn't know banking didn't have to hurt! They're also wonderfully active in the community. I encourage the non-profits I work with to go the CU way, if possible. Generally more in line with NP ethics.
Food break between vacuuming and mopping. Damn, my flors were gross after almost a month with just a quick vacuum or two. Cannot do that again.
