@LiberalLibrarian had it three times myself...turned 50 last month and went in to get the vaccine as soon as I was eligible.

Best way to describe the pain is the rash/blisters that form are from the never firing strongly enough to blister the skin. It's excruciating.

And yes, face would _suck_. Some poor souls have gone blind from it hitting their ocular nerve.

@LiberalLibrarian
1. First and foremost, I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY with the urging of people to go get the shingles vaccine. Shingles SUCKS.

2. If you had the rash on both legs, then it wasn't shingles. Shingles flareups will affect a single nerve (from the trunk outwards), and so are relegated to one half of the body. The "one side of the body only" nature of shingles is one of the easiest ways to tell if you have shingles.

@CannibalHoliday Quick (hopefully accurate) summary:

Some Amber Heard crazy fangirl got all butt-hurt at fearless leader's avi...fearless leader responded as expected (and warranted) to said protestations.

A more-than-suspicious temp lock of his account on the bird followed.

Piracy abounds as a show of support.

I’ll have y’all know that this has been my avi/logo for well close to two decades now.

That said….yarr on.

@Martha Let it happen on its own, Maurice.

Flooring work on the IHC Model S complete - went from the 70's horror movie vinyl to a more age-appropriate look. Too hot to work on anything else today.

How is this not an Onion article?

Time to spend a little time working on this old beauty today. Main engine restoration is complete (apart from a few gaskets that need to be replaced), going to get the cabin flooring replaced today and then start working on the generator.

@LiseL stay safe!

...though here in the midwest, that would be the point where we pull up a chair on the front porch and watch the show...

All right...it's been a good day since I posted much here, so here's Brighid, doing her very best Underdog impression.

@EmilySuess I got my first shot yesterday...along with my second covid booster (because I'm dumb like that). Last night was _rough_...doing better today, though.

Best wishes on a speedy recovery!

@CherNohio It’s a great cause that I can get behind, so figured I’d get the full experience and help out a bit :)

For those who haven’t had it, shingles SUCKS (so bad). The vaccine is rough (laid my wife up for a day last year) but so very much preferable.

Turned 50 recently…decided to get both a second booster for COVID (Moderna, completing my vax trilogy collection) AND the first shot of the Shingles vaccine (had it three times….hoping never again).

So yeah…I feel like hammered crap right now. But this too shall pass.
