    Nancy,

    I had my attack 40 years ago...and had the shingles virus shortly thereafter.

    So, old for the chicken pox and young for the shingles...

    I should've said the chicken pox when I was 20...and the shingles shot
    8 years ago. My fingers don't always type what my brain wants.

    I had a poison ivy attack when I was in kindergarten that was a lot like NB>that with the itching everywhere... taught me not to jump off big flat NB>tree stumps into bushes... ;)

    ... I'm terribly sorry, but I'm afraid you're just a mirage.

    Mayo...I don't want Grey Poupon...because I may have bird poupon my windshield. :P Of all the mayo, I like what Burger King has.

    But, lately, these promotions with T-Mobile, where you can get "free
    food" or "special food offers" require the use of the app. I've had such trouble with them on my smartphone, and have forfeited a ton of food,
    that I just quit messing with them.

    Years ago, there was a fund raising deal in central Arkansas called
    FundChex. You had coupons for a free food item, or discount on other
    services. When I worked at Burger King in Little Rock over 40 years ago,
    the price of a Whopper sandwich was $1.11 -- now, it's over 4 times that
    much. And, if you're at a food court, especially at an airport, it's
    much more than that.

    It depends on what I'm in the mood for. But, if the place has bad
    service, I'll only go there once.

    Well, I'm replying to them separately, so it's not like in the echoes.

    If it gets to that point, I wonder "why bother?".

    myself anymore.

    Sometimes, true, one does have to look for the funny side of things... I remember well sitting on the soggy floor of the kitchen after the
    firemen left from fighting our attic fire, looking up at the ceiling and
    seeing the red paint (which we'd been gradually trying to peel off, for repainting a better color) on there peeling from the excess water....
    and starting to laugh.... Definitely there was a silver lining to this disaster.... <G> Didn't lose too much "stuff" from the fire, but
    certainly were left with a lot of work to recover from the fire and the
    water used to put it out....
