If it reaches 103 degrees see a doctor! In the mean take care and hopefully you recover quickly.
Tomorrow our internet/phone provider( yes we still have a land line along with four cell phones
), is coming by to pump up our internet speed by more than double what it presently is. It will cost $ zero for the installation and only $5 bucks more a month!...

Whats your speed?
My old speed was usually about 4.5 mpbs..I just did a speed test and the speed is now 10.39 mpbs..which is fine for us. Soon it should be 12 mbps which is what I'm paying for.
We don't play games. We just stream..a lot...a whole lot. 20 mbps is the fastest domestic speed available in our location. The provider Century link claims 1 gig is coming.

Better than actually getting shingles. When I got it it was on my face and head with a risk of permanently damaging vision in one eye, luckily all I ended up with was some light scarring. The nerve pain spams were pretty bad while it lasted.
Yep, that's why I asked for and took the shot, shingles suck big time!
I had Chicken Pox at the age of 22, it was pretty bad, covered head to toe in spots even under my hair! Ever since people keep telling me I have shingles to look forward to! On top of everything else I have wrong with me it's not that scary anymore...
In the last two years, I have developed full blown Diabetes (now on insulin injections daily), had two cateract operations (new lenses in both eyes), three laser retina operations (left eye, very painful if you have to have it!), Peripheral Neuropathy (lost 70% of the feeling below the knees and losing it in my fingertips, also the nerves in my digestive tract don't work causing a lot of other problems) My Pancreas is effectively dead, so are the adrenal glands above my kidneys which has lead to Addison's Disease (JFK had it too so I'm in good company. It means when I stand up my blood pressure drops, so I can only stand up for a few minutes). The UK Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency took my driving licence off me simply because I'm Diabetic, despite the lack of evidence that a diabetic poses any threat to the public at large. My hospital consultant described the decision as crazy, but I've now lost my livelihood and will soon lose my house. The only avenue to appeal the decision is to the people who took it away in the first place, so not very hopeful about that. Diabetic drivers are such a serious problem that to my knowledge, absolutely no other country in the world bans them, and the UK DVLA has twice been taken to court over this and lost both times.
And how was your day?
On the plus side my band 'Born Awkward' has recently returned to the stage in Southampton, opening the 'Music in the City' festival (many musical acts playing at multiple venues throughout the day), and we kicked the event off playing in an 800 year old Vault in the city centre. Great acoustics, mind boggling to think the place was several centuries older that the United States of America...
I'm on guitar, sitting down. The Addison's means my days of bouncing around the stage are long over sadly, but the Audience loved us and that's what counts. We were even pictured in the local newspaper!
I won't take sides in the current debacle known as the 2016 presidential elections, because I have many friends here and I know both sides are represented. I will echo a popular sentiment that I have noticed recently gaining popularity in the States, along the lines of 320 Million people and these two are the best you could come up with?
On this side of the Atlantic we've long been jealous of all the fantastic kit at the disposal of the U.S. military, particularly your aircraft. But none of my American friends seem enthused about either candidate for the post of Commander in Chief. Even those with partisan views mostly seem focused on the faults of the opponent rather than any virtue in their own candidate. You may wish to consider the possibility of engaging our own head of state for the position. Her family firm has hundreds of years of experience heading several well-known armed forces worldwide, including those of your neighbours in Canada. If you were to ask nicely it is just possible Her Majesty may be willing to overlook your former treasonable behaviour in declaring independence. We even have several cute Princesses available for launching Warships! Our next Monarch has said he wishes to Reign as George VII instead of Charles III so you'll get a bit of nostalgia out of it too! Go on, you know it makes sense!

At least you still have your hair Bub, I feel your pain, I am fighting my sugar at present as well---"face it, you and I are just to damn sweet for our own good"!!
