I had shingles when I was 28 that went into my eye and my ear. Lots of problems and weeks of doctor appointments.

My friend got shingles in her 50s that went into her eye and caused all sorts of residual problems. Such a shame when there is a safe, reliable vaccination for it -- and it's free from your clinic.

I've already had shingles at age 20. When DH had them a few years back, my PCP recommended that I get the vax and I did. Not real concerned about getting the vax again, but will satisfy my PCP's protocol.

glad - that's totally awesome!!! So happy for you to be moving on to this next phase of your life. Prayers that you find something suitable. At one point you were thinking of a townhouse I seem to remember. Is that still on the books or are you going for something bigger?

With all this talk of flu shoots, I am reminded to book mine. I am not impressed with Canada's latest covid booster and would like one which is more up to date but it might be worth getting anyway. Better than nothing I suppose. I have had the shingles and the pneumonia shots.

Contract on my house. Now have to find one by the end of the month and get moved. 😲😲 Not as much as I wanted for my house but enough to be able to walk away, and not look back.😊😊

Got my high dose flu shot friday. I think I had a mild reaction, up and down, in and out of the bathroom all night last night. Didn't go to work until midday.

Shingles knocked me for a loop, a couple of years ago now, I think.

Getting my high dose flu shot on November 22 at PCP. Wasn't feeling that well today to reschedule the Shingles vax and the Covid booster, but I did verify through electronic messaging that the Shingles vax is at the pharmacy (supposedly). Don't hold much merit on that.

My PCP gave me the Quadravalent flu vaccine. Got a Covid booster the same day and pneumonia vaccine. I didn’t have any type or reaction. My arm was a little red. I didn’t have a reaction with Shingrix but I did feel a bit ill with whooping cough shot last year.

Barb, true about Shingrix vax... I got the first one, was a breeze. Got the second one on a Friday morning and had to miss a wedding the next day from feelings so sick (chills, fever, etc.) So plan accordingly!

Although some docs are saying to get flu and covid booster at once, I'm taking them one at a time. If I do have some reaction I want to know which shot caused it.

I got my bivalent covid and flu jabs on the same day. No real ill-effects.

I'm told that it's the SECOND shingles shot that generally causes side effects. I got my first Shingrix last month; I'm eligible for the second the day before we leave for a long vacation, so I'm postponing.

My sister said the shingles shot knocked her on her azz, maybe it's just as well you weren't able to pair it with your flu shot.
Flu shots are not available here yet (next week) plus I've held off getting a covid booster because I've been been waiting for the bivalent one, but I'm not sure if I can or want to do both at once.

I had a 5:00 P.M. appointment today at my pharmacy to get Shingles vaccine and latest Covid booster. They were lack luster/epic faił/no go! Despite many electronic messages from them, they weren't ready at all/never had it on the schedule!

It's Raining, It's Pouring!

I got an offer on my house! A reasonable offer, but will still counter. No it won't be more than what I am asking.

And low baller raised their offer by 20K, still not enough. Will see what they will do now.

Greetings to all! (I’ll only update again in the future).

I’m praying for my uncle. He’s fine. But he went to the dentist recently (tooth extraction), and he now has nerve damage. The dentist was negligent. My poor uncle. His face is not totally straight now. I’m praying a lot.

I brought him immediately to several specialists (and also to the original dentist). Luckily, they all say there’s a big chance it’s temporary, and will totally heal within some days.

Oh please God, let it be so.

Geaton, Real estate in MN is slower than before but I've sold a very small house and a 6-unit apartment building in St. Cloud. There is a larger inventory than previously. I'm in the process of liquidating all of the real estate that my deceased husband and I owned. Property in several states and the market isn't hot in any of them.

The real estate market is dead in the water in my state of MN. I just got back home from FL after 2 months there to find that the same homes are STILL for sale, with more coming onto the market but not enough buyers. Cost of borrowing has gone up. Everyone who was even remotely going to buy a house already has. More inventory available brings down overall home values. It's a buyer's market now for the first time in several years. Glad, hoping you have the flexibility of waiting for better selling conditions...

Glad, the offer stinks, but I lol'd at your response. You're a legend. lol Good of you to sympathize with your coworker and share some lived perspective.

...

A local behavioral services agency has offered me a tech position. It's part-time (what I asked for), but I can get started in the field. I'm trying to balance between pushing towards achievement while keeping my current basic security and not over-extending myself. So far, so good.

The offer was 130k lower than asking price! Yea, ticked me off, but time will tell. The offer covered what I paid, cost of landscape and window coverings.

glad - I did that with an offer on the cottage once -scared the potential buyer away. Very kind of you to help and support your co-worker. She is in a difficult situation and I am sure appreciates you. Kind of a look back for you, I guess.

Got a low ball offer. I countered at higher than my asking price!😁😁😂😂

A woman I work with has been out of the office for a couple of weeks. Her mom just passed, now trying to figure out what to do with dad. He has dementia. If course, he does not want to leave their house. No kids live nearby and want to get him out of there, post haste.

Mom had been providing his care. No doubt, kids have no idea. I have provided her information on facilities, actually care homes. And I have offered an ear...

It was a sad, reflective day for me.

I've attended hearings as a psychologist determining SS disability, at a mental institution doing determination of danger to the community, etc. All people trying to convince their point. People who are trying to defraud have one thing in common - they provide too many details and their stories are too elaborate and somewhat unbelievable. The same thing is true in writing. Too many details.

I don't know if that is true with internet "trolls" but sometimes it seems so. And when questioned they always have an answer (and quickly).

Just my thoughts.
