Mom got the old shot and was planning on the new jabs when Covid came to town... She got shingles that turned into a long-haul version that I guess sometimes happens? Ugh. Pain across her side and back that never goes away.
I got both of mine and didn't lose any days, but it was tough to work through.
Wow, Ron. I'm so sorry.
I didn't know it could become chronic.
I had shingles about ten years ago and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. I didn’t even have a bad case but it was still awful. I’ll get the vaccination this year, as Ontario has it on the vaccine schedule for fifty year olds. But given these accounts, I’ll plan the timing carefully!
Everyone says that.
That's why I got it!
What kind of fresh hell is this?
You can find YouTube interviews where she talks about him if you want to know more.
That's because you're British.
I don't think that's why. I never saw her husband mentioned either, maybe once around the time that he passed away, and then again now as her passing has led to many articles about her.
They were very private, so it's not surprising that @andyd and others (me) never saw Dolly's husband mentioned.
I was joking!
I bought a Ridge wallet. Got it today.
Like it knew I would.
Did not want to spend a penny on a new wallet but my old bifold (hand-made, full grain, same price point) ...
Well the leather expanded over time because of humidity or something, and every time I opened it my cards would come flying out everywhere, fall to the ground, etc.
I thought it was wise to invest in something of an insurance policy.
I'm not trying to loose the contents of my wallet to the four winds.
We all know this but a great many "Spanish" people of were African Muslims.
These is a lot of mixed-race ancestry in many of the
European houses.

@andyd Do you know this place?
I can't say much about it because I haven't heard of it. I don't know its history. I don't know what it looks like up close or inside, etc.
I can say the picture (who knows how accurate a digital picture is) gives me the an initial impression of a house that .ight be too large for its own good and a kind of sterile vibe.
I could be wrong about all this if course and would be happy to be corrected.
@andyd Yeah, well I'm a little jealous of your dog sitting.
I'd like to have a dog for a few days and give it back.
@steve-miller I missed it if you mentioned the ultimate destination on your road trip.
How wonderful for you. 
@shirokuro I had that.
I'm sorry it's painful and you had to teach.
All this "adulting". It never stops!
I'm locked out of my iPad for now
: (
I refreshed my browser. It didn't do anything.
Oh well! It's some glitch and will right itself soon enough.
I'm so sorry.
Yes, that is odd.
I remember.
I was at my first place in Captain Cook.
I was alone.
The television was on in the background.
At first they said she was seriously injured. Then she said she had died.
I remember hearing it. I was standing up.
My feet gave out without warning and I "fainted" without loosing consciousness.
That was the first time that happened to me and I don't doubt at all it will never happen again.
I think it's ridiculous. I've always thought it was ridiculous. You get paid for a year and take summer off?
The teachers' unions most have been powerful back in the day to set this up.
People will say employees must be retained and children need the summer off.
It still doesn't sit right with me somehow.

It's been this way forever.
Here home schooled 5 years are finishing toilet training so it could be worse.
Interesting! Thanks!
