Had the shingles years ago on my lower neck just above my collar bone. That wasn't fun. Last year I started to get similar looking bumps in nearly the same spot. I used some benadryl cream on the place for a week or so and it went away, so I'm not sure if it was shingles again or not.

Anyway, enjoy getting older!

Had annual physical today. Not a bit of it fun of course, but got the shingles vaccine. Really not fun.

I mean really....not fun.

 

Got the shingles vaccine (2 dose) and both shots kicked my ass for a good day or two.   Hell of a lot better than getting shingles but it’s the only vaccine that’s ever triggered a strong reaction.   
 

it sucks because you feel sick but in the back of your mind you know your just fake sick so you try to function like normal and still feel just as awful as you would if you were really sick.   Made that mistake with the first dose. 
 

Second dose I just crawled into bed.

I already had taken Friday off and had plans to go out of town for the weekend. I had that running through my mind....I'm not really sick. It's all in my head. We didn't leave until Friday afternoon and I r tired to be normal but I've just felt like crap. It's getting better now, but I really should have stayed home. Next time I am just going to throw in the towel and stay home. No use in messing around with it.

personally, on the journey of getting old(er)....I have been really excited about the crazy and super growth of ear and nose hair. 

it's overrated. grow your hair long and they don't notice the ear hair so much. btw, it's little more painful than you'd think not as bad as yanking nose hair, but still not a great feeling. will wake you up when you're tired and trying to drive, though.

I could not be more thankful that I still have my health and mental faculties and I just turned 68. 

I walk a couple miles on a trail thru the woods every morning with our 2 dogs; I try to always have a project going on- refinishing or re-imagining a piece of furniture; tinkering in my shop.

We've been doing Home Chef for over 4 years now- 3 dinners a week. That's as good as my diet gets. 

Couple minor injuries have kept me out of the gym for some time, but I feel ready to get back to a regular treadmill and weight training 3 times a week.

Volunteer work is a day a week, but fulfills my need to be of service.

Mom passed at 93 and dad is still kickin' it at 96, so maybe I've got a few more years.

Oh, and when you hit Medicare age, you're getting a "physical" every 6 months. One of those is just a "wellness check." Had any falls lately? Know what day of the week it is? Who's the president?

My morning yesterday, got 5 hairs in one pull.

      RUMORS: Panthers schedule leak

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      would love it if Vegas were Week 5 (Oct 7).  Just throwing it out there with fingers crossed

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      I believe you are correct. Everyone remembers that record setting drubbing of the Broncos but that was the highlight of their season. They have very good coaching overall and they have a ton of talent. With a better QB they could have knocked off the Chiefs IMO. We aren't even in the conversation of the Dolphins until proven otherwise. We couldn't even get in the end zone against the lowly Chicago Bears. We got shutout and blown out by the CJ Beathard led Jaguars for fugs sake. We can't even compete with bad teams let alone run up the score on them. To me if I'm being completely realistic if I'm the GM and my job is on the line and I feel like Tua is Bryce Young's ceiling I'm drafting QB in the first round next year unless he just magically has a season like Stroud did last year. That's it. I'm genuinely not trying to be abrasive about this it just gets really mind numbing eventually that we keep lowering the bar down down down down down and it's like hey it's fine to have expectations. And if you have a young QB in his prime and he isn't giving you at least prime Jake Delhomme arm talent it's time to keep looking for a QB.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      By BrianS · Posted

      Not exactly.  They show that Jones was making the most of the opportunities he had.  I was never a fan of his, but I think that the talent level in NE last year is somehow escaping the massive negative attention it should have received.  That team was terrible - especially the talent and coaching on offense - and everyone was still afraid of the wrath of hoodie. He'll have a chance to restart his career at some point.  He was a middle of the pack QB as a rookie.  Plenty of teams out there would love to make it up to middle of the pack at QB.
