Anyone ever have shingles? Some of the most debilitating pain I have ever experienced. It's like a really, really bad sunburn in multiple spots that doesn't get better day-by-day.

Conversation upon your wife's return:

Oops, sorry honey! The new cat must've gotten out somehow...?

Problem solved.

It's been considered.

Luckily no. But I've known a few people that have. Almost killed a family friend of ours. He had several other health issues, but shingles put him in the hospital.

Not personally but I've had family members who have. That &%$@ is no joke. Will make a grown man wanna cry.

I got on antiviral really quickly, so I think I am already on the uptick, but this really, really sucks.

I had it, 26 at the time. Yeah, it does suck. Wasn't put on anything, so had the full effect. Was about 2 weeks, I only got a strip of something across my upper half but I was sore. Hurt to sit back in my chair, had to sit unevenly so my right side wasn't against anything...yeah...

I like whiskey.

Me too. Maker’s Mark the current flavor du jour.

I finished a bottle of that this past weekend. Was drinking Jameson Black Barrel last night. Will probably go to Ezra Brooks cask strength single barrel tonight. Was a long day at work.

I had shingles when I was 16. It was in my armpits. 2nd worst pain I've ever had to breaking my arm. None of the topicals worked. Had them for 6 weeks. Good luck.

So...here's my conundrum...

Due to my stroke, was forced to head home for god knows what. No problem. I put my application in, get the "you are eligible for 8-10 months" thing. No big deal i thought. My lease was up after March, I could go month-to-month on it, not a problem. Easy!

Well, I called the place thinking I can just call, get told it'll be another 1-3 months, everything going smooth. Hahaha...no. Get told it will be another two or three YEARS....MINIMIM because they are going to remodel those apartments.

So I go ok, I'll just get a hold of MVE, I paid $545, with the garage, not bad deal. Well, I get a hold of them and they tell me its $635 now for those. My disability check is $1640. So...$635 - $40 for heat - $90 for phone - $50 for credit card - $25-65 for internet / TV and my monthly bills is...I don't know. Too much for me.

I just don't know what to do. I mean...I can talk to Nick and Kellen here... but it doesn't have the same, you know?

Trudge, sorry for your situation. Don't quite understand what's going on, but hope you get stuff figured out.

I've been wondering that, am I not coming out right? I thought I was starting to remember my &%$@ but maybe not? Just let me know...

Hoping for a nice sunny day at the Shareholder's meeting this summer.

Random enough thought for y'all? GO PACK.

I suck at Elden Ring.

Pretty sure I just suck at video games in general now. I hate getting old.

Had you not mentioned "video game" I would not have had a clue what you were even talking about. That's how detached from video games I've become. The last video game I was any good at was the original Super Mario Kart game.

I haven't been an avid gamer for years now. Time and lack of money or good gaming PC got me off track. I still try to play stuff from time to time. But I'm usually really bad at the bigger popular games. Finger/eye coordinator not what it used to be. Definitely something you have to train for to be good.

That's why I never play multi-player. If it doesn't have a single player campaign, I don't play it. I've also never really been a console gamer, at least not since the NES/Genesis. I have an Xbox 360 and play on that from time to time. I use that controller when gaming on the PC too. But I'll always be a keyboard/mouse gamer at heart, but those days are dead.

I need to find a new hobby, other than drinking whiskey.

Is more whiskey an option??

Maybe brandy or rum might do the trick...?
