Yikes, Amy. Hope the ex's eyes stay OK.
He said it doesn't really hurt? But he's weird.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yes. I remember those. Not fondly.
The yellow fever inoculation put 10-year old me in bed for two days. But at least I didn't have to take another one. I was back in the US full-time before the 10-year period expired.

Dang. My yellow fever shot coverage expired two years ago, and it was only relevant once. When the pandemic is over I have got to travel more.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I lived in Cincinnati and never went to Skyline.
Damn it, we let one get away!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I lived just up the road from that Skyline
Prolly shoulda warned Steph about the pipe.

Our children moved to Cincinnati too late to appreciate Skyline (8 and 5). Mr. Flea took them there once early on and they were appalled.
Mr. flea was good friends in college with the sculptor of the fountain across the street from the Clifton Gaslight Skyline (where Stephanie earlier got hurt and failed to get her second tetanus shot.)
I routinely see Jessica’s grandparents’ grave on walks around my neighborhood (it is visible from the sidewalk) and always think of them and her fondly.
This concludes today’s Cincinnati news.

The shingles discussion is so timely for me! I can't go ON my 50th birthday in (gulp) 3 1/2 weeks, because it's a holiday, but I mean to get one within days. I had a terrible case of chicken pox at age 18, and I'd rather not give that virus a second crack at making me miserable.

Susan W., check ahead of time to make sure local supply is available. It was a problem a year or so ago, and I haven't checked into it since.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Today ended up being more interesting than expected. I got Mr. S dressed and ready to go in front of his Chromebook, but only got the "the host will let you in shortly" message for all of his first class, and into the second. Then I checked my e-mail to find out that the school's internet and phone lines were out because of a Comcast outage. Mr. S ended up watching random stuff on YouTube for a while. Eventually there was a second e-mail saying that they were sending the teachers home to use their internet there, and that classes would start at 11:25 am. So he got a few classes in, but ended up watching more YouTube than he really ought to.
