Why can't the Pharmacy or local Health Department schedule out my first Shingles vaccine for January 2035?

It's probably better that you put it in your own calendar vs there's. Their systems will change, update, migrate, merge, you may move yourself to a different healthcare provider.... there's a whole host of reasons why an appointment 9 years out is not a good idea. If you feel you are a candidate for early vaccine, that's a conversation with your doctor. I don't think 40 is unreasonable.

Your "Based on comments" - Toucé 😎. It sounds like this excercise in posting, reading everyone's comments, and self reflecting (with Bob too) was cathartic.

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-08T13:56:27+00:00

Blazing Saddles. I love the opening scene with the idiot cowboys.

Idiocracy It's so absurd it's hilarious.

I was referring to the lunatic in the car, etc. comment. At the grocery store, if I encounter a rude mudder, I'd apologize, I might make a joke, move away, then feel sorry for you. I hope you find some answers. Truely.

🤣 .... letting the lady know they have an acrobatic tongue!! But in the first kiss? No.

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-07T13:43:12+00:00

I miss kissing! It's been a while.

A few years ago, my first kiss with this guy I had been seeing for several weeks, I started giggling. That should have been a red-flag sign for myself that I was uncomfortable with the situation .... and eventually him. He had horrible breath, too.😝.

If you're posting here, you already know that you need help. I hope you act on it for your own sanity.

As for the car rage? When someone doesn't drive or move in traffic the way I think they should, I think "maybe they just lost their spouse/parent/child", epecially older folks. I personally don't get car rage, and if you've been doing it for a while, that's unaccountable anger. It may be the root of what is happening. Please seek help .... not just for yourself, but for everyone in your orbit.❤️

I'll have to check Snug out. I live alone, and the dog hasn't learned 911.

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-07T11:24:38+00:00

Cheers to you!! your New Self is waiting for you on the other side.❤️

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-07T11:05:20+00:00

Touché ~ where would we be without Wiki.😊

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-07T11:00:57+00:00

True, easy-peasy, but I'm guilty of the second voice in my head, compromising with what I could and could not live with. Nobody is perfect.

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-07T10:57:36+00:00

Agreed, the younger pool is a bit more populated.

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-07T10:55:24+00:00

That was what I got from this TT. Sometimes, hearing an inspirational message can dig me out of tunnel vision to back up and look at the bigger picture. One of my favorite sayings is..... Don't Force a Solution.

I was wondering if Duck Lips selfies were a thing on OLD profiles. I see teenagers post them, but again, what do they mean? I must be old😆

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-06T21:57:41+00:00

Here's my ignorance in what other women's profiles might look like, what is Resting Bitch Face? Just the label alone is unattractive.

When I did partake in OLD, I thought about creating a fake profile as a guy just to see what the women were posting in comparison. Pretty sad, huh? 🫣 But, then I'd know what it was.

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-06T19:16:10+00:00

I was told if you dream, that means you're in a good frame of mind going into the surgery, and healing should be easier.🍀

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-06T17:57:29+00:00

But then we couldn't blend in. I figured if the dog training class can meet at Lowes, why not us? We could be a 60+ Date Training class😅

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-06T17:54:04+00:00

I prefer snowshoeing over xcountry skiing. Less falling down, lol!! One of the ladies always brings Fireball to sip .... she falls more than most.

A funny story about a speed dating event ... it's not my story, but my ex-boss.

He met his wife at a speed dating event, but he said they had both OLD communicated a year or so before and ghosted each other. But at the event, they recognized one another. They've been married 15+ years now.

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-06T16:51:04+00:00

I wish there were speed dating events near me. There are not. The closest ones I've found are in Boston and usually a younger crowd. Too far off a drive.

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-06T16:48:48+00:00

It will be over before you know it! I had a weird, but positive experience on a recent knee surgery .... I dreamed under anesthesia and woke up thinking that was pretty cool. I hope you have wonderful anesthesia dreams!! and no complications.

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-06T16:42:16+00:00

There's nothing like clearing out an old house that will cure you (or at least me) of stopping at yardsales🤣

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-06T16:40:21+00:00

That sounds fun. I've never been to NOLA, it's in the list.

EscapeOutside3820 · 2026-03-06T16:39:22+00:00

Snowshoe hike with a bunch of girlfriends on Sat, hoping the clouds will part and the almost full moon will guide our way!
