Can you see this?

5 years ago

I have started a post twice and don't think I wrote anything controversial. I want to see if this posts. I am using a MacBook and was able to post on ongoing conversations.

    I can see this, but not the other two. Weird.

    Thank you. I'm going to paste the other post here with any words that might be a problem **** instead of the word. It will be readable.

    My post is not showing up. I am guessing certain words are the problem. This is a health issue not what is forbidden. If this offends anyone, please be nice, and explain, not yell. Let's see if this posts.

    Yesterday, I got the second dose of the M0d**Na vac***e. It felt joyous. Today I woke to feeling uncomfortable. I have a fever of 100.5, body aches, headache, and extremely tired. If this is how you feel just from side effects I can't imagine how it would feel to have C***d. I am so grateful for science, and all the medical personal who were giving the vaccine on a Saturday at a large vaccine hub.

    In NYC getting an appointment is very difficult. I am good at figuring out the various websites and tenacious. I have so far gotten 6 elderly neighbors and friends' appointments. It infuriates me that the only real way to get an appointment is via the internet. It takes hours per person.

    At the vac***e site, I witnessed a very elderly man who had traveled to the site in the cold in the hopes that someone would make him an appointment. The person he was asking told him to use his phone to make an appointment. It was very apparent he didn't have a cell phone or the ability to use one. She told this to him over and over. This is really unacceptable. I am now kicking myself that I didn't offer to do it for him. The "local" go******t had months to prepare and this is the best they can do?

    Wow, so frustrating. I copy and pasted my other post above, and I can see it. If I sign out and open the thread I can not. I wish Houzz would have an info page with a clear set of rules that states what is and isn't acceptable.

    I‘ve had posts not show up for a few days and, at least once, never post, although it was visible to me in my activities. None were controversial topics. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Ok, well obviously something is triggering a filter. All I was describing my 2nd dose and the side effects. Also how hard it is for the elderly to make an appointment.

    It happened to me recently too, with the post not showing up until I changed a couple of completely benign words. It became like a game, trying to guess at what the system wasnt allowing. It's a real shame, not to mention totally baffling, that we are not allowed to communicate using a wide range of normal human language here.

    Someone was complaining recently that there are no good discussions here, just shopping and other light threads ... this is why!

    I tried to post something I’d have loved to hear varying views on (not pol.itical), it never went through. Yet there’s one pro who spends her time here yelling at, berating, and belittling people who have innocent decorating questions ... and that’s just fine.

    I think this board is the most monitored of all. It’s odd.

    It's like we need code words. Stealth HD Convo that'll read like a barrage of conspiratorial blather! 😉

    “ All I was describing my 2nd dose and the side effects. Also how hard it is for the elderly to make an appointment.”

    We received our 2nd “P” injection yesterday. Other then feeling just a tad ‘off’ this morning, nothing too serious.

    I’m in Florida, the venue we used started out as a County run, drive through site. Then the state took over and horrendous wait times occurred. All was fine for 1st doses. The county had told people to come back in 21 days for the 2nd. Once the state took over, appointments for the 2nd dose were mandatory, but the message did not get out to everyone. On the first day that people were eligible for 2nds, they showed up to get them. Along with people who had appts for their 1st. Waits of 5/6 hours occurred. Many were sent home without shots when they got to the checkin without proof of an appointment. After waiting 5 hours.

    We had appts for yesterday at 10:15. Arrived at the site at 7:10. There were already about 100 cars in front of us. The site did open earlier then the advertised time of 8. It took us about 2.5 hours to get through the process. When we were leaving, 100s of cars were filling the parking lots. It’s a mess.

    The best way I can describe the scene is for you to imagine the maze lines at a popular Disney World attraction. Except put old people in lines, in cars. (I can call people old because I am. 😊)
