Getting the measles shot took a little while…I thought I was going to get jabbed in the shoulder and have a sore arm for aikido class but it was just the tiniest poke above the elbow. I guess the thought of how unnecessary it was plus the prolonged anticipation of the needle bothered me (big [...]

Look at how many times they jab a little baby with needles in modern times! I got two measles shots in my lifetime, once in May 1969 and then again in 1980. But because my first measles shot happened before my first birthday, I have to go in to CUNY health services and get another [...]
