Might as well get the new one. I figure it can't hurt.

The only places I can drive to are the drug store and the library:
I can’t go walking in my own woods unless I take my lab with me, and I don’t get that cause if I fall down he just humps me. sec |

My wife totalled her car. Not her fault and no one was hurt. But, I've been working remotely since 2013 and she's retiring in June. So we decided to not get another car. Took the money and remodeled the master bathroom. Saved $1600 a year on insurance. Take an Uber if there is a conflict.

I got mine when we picked up her meds. I have to go back in April to get the second one, and providing she's over the shingles by then, my wife will get her first one. It would be worth talking to your doctor about it IMO

Once you get old, it's time for your colonoscopy!

So, my kiddo's best friend's mom had a birthday this past Sunday. She turned 32. That means I was a freshman in high school when she was born.

I'm actually sitting outside the office right now waiting to get my second one. I'm not looking forward to it since the first shot dragged me down for a day. I had never had one because I've never had chickenpox, but at my regular checkup the doctor said that nearly everybody is exposed to chickenpox even if they never showed up with any symptoms. Since I'm 60 now, they said I should get the vaccine and I hear that shingles are good to avoid, so here I am. Last edited by Rain Man; 02-20-2024 at 09:30 AM.. |

Ugh. It's definitely old person day at the Rain Man house. I had my hearing test done and they're recommending hearing aids. When you have no hair and glasses, adding a hearing aid really takes you across the threshold into Old Man world.

I only got 1 shingles shot. It was a couple of years ago. How much better is the new shot?
