No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Oh thank you. That didn't happen! Woke up about every 3 hours. The pneumonia shot might be my friend but it doesn't play nice with me.
Owww!
Well, almost 12 hours passed between my post and your answer to it. Hopefully, a significant portion of that time was sleep, despite waking up every 3 hours.

My wife has been buying handmade masks like crazy; she likes to have lots of choices (and lots of clean masks around), and feels like it's helping people in some small way. She's purchased so many, however, that I think she's forgotten some of them. I found one unused in its plastic sleeve, lying at the bottom of a basket into which we throw mail and keys. The print on it is basically the bottom half of a skull (nose and huge, toothy smile).
I said to her, "You haven't used this; I haven't seen this one." She said she didn't really like it. I put it on, and it's incredibly comfortable, so I said, "Meh, I don't care what it looks like. I love how it feels. I'll wear it."
What's funny is I've had more complements from strangers on that mask in a week than any other one I've worn. Makes me laugh, because I'd never have picked it out for myself.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

I didn't handle it well at all! I've either been irritable or in tears, and in between rolled up in a down comforter fighting off fever and chills.
I'm better today though! My arm almost looks normal size! I'm telling you, this particular immunization turns me into a weepy, whiny, contrary little child!
I guess that's not so big a change from the usual.

Wow! It affected you a lot worse than it did me! Both my shoulders were moderately sore for about 4 days, but there was no swelling that I noticed. Maybe we Norwegians are just made of tougher stuff!

I would have! I'm envious now. I'll have to find one like that for me! Maybe I can talk my wife into making one like it.

I guess it's just a pattern that seems a little more appropriate for a younger person. Wearing it makes me feel like a Raiders fan.

Thanks, sir. I replied.

I had to get 2 shots today that I got before I went overseas 2 years ago. I couldn't remember which one hurt so much. It's the pneumonia shot and I got it in my dominant arm. I can't raise my arm up very high and it's just killing me right now. I've got some extra strength Tylenol on board and a heat pack which always feels better to me than ice.
I'm heading to bed. I just hope I can sleep. I know it'll be gone in a few days, that this is protective and certainly far better than suffering with pneumonia. I think I tend to be pretty tough but this one turns me right into a child.
Night!
The worst I ever had was the Typhoid shot. Had to get it twice in the 70s.

I had to get that before I went to live in Germany in the 70's. I don't forget it. That thing was also a killer!
