I don't think I've had Maker's since the turn of the century, maybe I should get a bottle for egg nog season.

Here is where it started. Mo was talking about the booster and you said another one every 6 months. Meaning a second booster which no one has had. A first booster yes but those were first available in ~ September.

Nevertheless, it is hypothetical, since you asked about what will happen in the future with shots every 6 months, since people are ONLY JUST NOW getting their FIRST 6 month shots.

But it's important to remember that reality requires neither your acceptance nor your comprehension.

I find the 'dip' cheesy, but the booze inside is decent. Probably go for Bulleit next time.

Whatever a frequent cycle turns out to be--six months, twelve months--it doesn't matter. The question is about the bodies' reaction to subsequent injections.

Yes.

Sometimes language seems so horribly inadequate. If only there was a concise way to communicate the notion that something is currently unknown but that there's reason to suspect that some outcomes are more probable than others... :foo:

Exactly right, if the room gets lots of natural daylight the dark finishes are tolerable. But still . . .

If you like MM you should try to get ahold of some of this, it's exceptional.

It's for sipping though, not mixing. Grab some Evan Williams or something for mixing.

Try High West Rendezvous rye.

Hmmmmm. Just a wild stab in the dark to consider, but maybe we should call that, ummm . . . . . . a hypothesis.

When the Rangers and Cardinals were headed to the series a while back, I announced to the family that if they both made it we were going no matter the cost. After all, what were the odds that the teams from the two cities I spent my entire life in would play each other. Wife wasn’t happy with that proclamation. But, it sure was worth going.

Fixed.

Although I do enjoy the cherry.

You think MD's know this stuff? That's not how they're trained.

Why should they be any different than anybody else?

Almost forgot, reminds me of this one:

Big Decorator, obv.

Butternut squash. The crust looks killer though.

And two cheeses and onion and chard and garlic and red pepper flakes and thyme and sage. I cheated by using pre-cut squash from TJ’s.

That's just crazy talk.

All dressed up and no place to go. The phone appeared to be plugged in but was not. Sad!

I made drop biscuits the other day, and thought about penman, wondering how far I'd gone wrong according to his sensibilities.

Yep. I'm guessing the cheese and seasonings covered up the squash taste well enough to enjoy it. I'm just not a squash fan. It did look good though.

He was an excellent debater. You could have a disagreement with him without feeling like it's an argument or a fight.

I was just thinking about him the other day. Where did he go?

Then you would definitely not like it. Squash flavor still shone through.

He popped in a while back. IIRC, he'd had some health complications and had shelved riding. I guess he's one of those folks that feel funny about frequenting a forum for xyz when they no longer participate in xyz.

Which is why it's a hypothetical, because it's not possible to answer it yet. We'll know more in about 5 months.

We don't even know that there will be a need for more than a third shot. Most pediatric vaccines, there are several shots in the first couple years and none after that, but the protection lasts. And no, response doesn't diminish with subsequent vaccinations. It increases. That's why they do them that way. When we immunize mice to generate antibodies, we do it repeatedly over a number of weeks, and the antibody titer increases, and the antibodies being produced increase in affinity as the B-cells undergo somatic mutation, affinity maturation, and class switching.
