Any word on the Mrs or when she'll be coming home?The only word I've gotten from her today is that she's going to have her stomach scoped, but she hasn't responded to me since.

They're fine. Sadly, we're a little too used to her being in the hospital for an indefinite amount of time.How are the girls doing?Any word on the Mrs or when she'll be coming home?The only word I've gotten from her today is that she's going to have her stomach scoped, but she hasn't responded to me since.
Kept them home today while we wait for the covid results for the oldest. Hopefully, we get them back today and she's in the clear, and they can all go back to school tomorrow.

Still just the sore throat, bit of a headache. I'm relatively sure she doesn't have it, but better to be safe than the source of an outbreak.That makes sense.

lost another good friend to cancer yesterday morning. she fought it for over 7 years on and off. she was a good soul.That seems to be another never-ending pandemic. I guess we can say that it isn't contagious but you wouldn't know it by the number of people affected. I always imagined that cancer would be eradicated in my lifetime but I'm not that hopeful any more.

There are 109 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Sept. 13, 1971, a four-day inmates’ rebellion at the Attica Correctional Facility in western New York ended as police and guards stormed the prison; the ordeal and final assault claimed the lives of 32 inmates and 11 hostages.
On this date:
In 1788, the Congress of the Confederation authorized the first national election, and declared New York City the temporary national capital.
In 1814, during the War of 1812, British naval forces began bombarding Fort McHenry in Baltimore but were driven back by American defenders in a battle that lasted until the following morning.
In 1959, Elvis Presley first met his future wife, 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu, while stationed in West Germany with the U.S. Army. (They married in 1967, but divorced in 1973.)
In 1962, Mississippi Gov. Ross Barnett rejected the U.S. Supreme Court’s order for the University of Mississippi to admit James Meredith, a Black student, declaring in a televised address, “We will not drink from the cup of genocide.”
In 1970, the first New York City Marathon was held; winner Gary Muhrcke finished the 26.2-mile run, which took place entirely inside Central Park, in 2:31:38.
In 1990, the combination police-courtroom drama “Law & Order” premiered on NBC.
In 1993, at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO chairman Yasser Arafat shook hands after signing an accord granting limited Palestinian autonomy.
In 1996, rapper Tupac Shakur died at a Las Vegas hospital six days after he was wounded in a drive-by shooting; he was 25.
In 1997, funeral services were held in Calcutta, India, for Nobel peace laureate Mother Teresa.
In 1998, former Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace died in Montgomery at age 79.
In 2001, two days after the 9/11 terror attacks, the first few jetliners returned to the nation’s skies, but several major airports remained closed and others opened only briefly. President George W. Bush visited injured Pentagon workers and said he would carry the nation’s prayers to New York.
In 2010, Rafael Nadal won his first U.S. Open title to complete a career Grand Slam, beating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2.

Yeah. Looks like windows update changed the default 802.11 protocol needed for WiFi. It was strange though because it was only not working with my main SSID in my home. Worked ok with the other WIFi networks I tried to connect to. Anyhoo, I am back! The other issue is that I can't find the damn charger for that laptop. The kids borrowed it for another device and now no one knows where it is.Got it all figured out?can't go wrong with a Fuente for breakfast.That sounds perfect. Just putting some finishing touches on my laptop and I should be joining you in about an hour.

Five years ago: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump rolled out a plan aimed at making child care more affordable, guaranteeing new mothers six weeks of paid maternity leave and suggesting new incentives for employees to provide their workers child care during a speech in Aston, Pennsylvania. Former Israeli President Shimon Peres, 93, suffered a major stroke (he died 15 days later).
One year ago: In open defiance of state regulations and his own administration’s pandemic health guidelines, President Donald Trump hosted his first indoor rally since June, telling a packed, nearly mask-less crowd in Henderson, Nevada, that the nation was “making the last turn” in defeating the virus. Dominic Thiem became the first man in 71 years to win the U.S. Open after dropping the first two sets of the final; Thiem earned his first Grand Slam title with a 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (6) comeback victory against Alexander Zverev.

Yeah, fiddling with the bands are what helped me get connected in the first place. After a windows update I was getting "secured connection but no internet access" error message. I'll have to keep playing with it. (TWHS)Does your router do multiple bands? If so, try the other band.I thought I had one. I guess it's not good enough to get through the brick. I'll figure something out.Get yourself a signal booster!It's going too quickly. My connection needs improvement. Not so easy to work from out here.

The pain subsided after about 20 minutes. I didn't think much about it after that until yesterday morning, when I discovered there was a rash in that area. Still figured it was a bug bite. Come afternoon, I was feeling fatigued and run-down. That's when the oh-shit light went on in my head. Shingles. Called my doctor, sent him a picture of the affected area. Sure enough. So now I'm on Acyclovir 5 times a day. Fun times. Middle age sucks.

I was driving back from Bend on Thursday and stopped for gas. As I was pulling into the gas station, I had a sudden sharp stinging in the left side of my lower back. I thought a wasp had slipped into the open window and got me. Hurt like hell. But I couldn't find any bugs.Well, that sucks. Getting old is indeed for the birds.

The likelihood of a recurrence of the disease for you is statistically very small. About 50% of people who have had chicken pox will get at least one attack of Shingles, but only 10% of those will get a second case. Getting the vaccine could decrease the chance even lower, but only for about 3 years or so and it wiil not eliminate the chance altogether. The vaccine can only prevent the disease altogether if given to people who haven't had chicken pox. They don't really understand the nature of the Zoster virus' hibernation, and have yet to figure out a way to locate it in the nervous system when it's hiberating - at least not in living tissue. If you're still having pain, but not flareups, it's likely postherpetic neuralgia due to nerve damage from the previous infection. How's that for Internet Doctoring?I wonder if I can get the vaccine for that one? Definitely don't want to go through that again.

Anyway, may not be worth the trouble of the vaccine, or maybe it is to you. Discuss it with your doctor.
My case is mild - just that one stab of pain on Thursday, and subsequently an itchy rash and low-grade fever and malaise. Calamine lotion is managing the itch. My dad had a much more painful case a couple of years ago. So I'm lucky.
