OH Dan!

So sorry about the shingles man! My mom had that and I can remember her talking about how painful it was!

Crazy thing happened to me... when I got the chicken pox as a child.. an old horse trainer told my mom that they could cure me by throwing a chicken over my head. And my parents were CRAZY enough to do just that. After they had tossed the pet chickens across me a few times. They took me inside and told me not to share what they had done to me at school.

BUT the pox went away... so just saying if you have some pet chickens around .. or if your neighbor has any perhaps... OMG I got chickens on the brain this week!

Anyway, I truly hope you feel better. You will be missed in the meantime!

Wishing you good luck..good health...and a great 2019. Feel better soon!

Amazingly the pox usually does go away. My kids got a couple spots and were fine other than that. Lasted around 2 days and it was gone. That's with the 4 boys anyway. The baby girl hasn't had it yet.

Hey, Dan.

Sorry to hear that. I'll give you a call. I just got back from a vacation, so will call you in a few days. You stay around, yeah.  And what Dustin says - use pen and paper!

Hey guys,
     Thanks all for the well wishes.  It means a lot.  

Pia it doesn't matter, what matters is that you wrote back now.  As I've always said, the past is the past.  Live for today because tomorrow isn't a guarantee.  

My face has felt better since the Xmas lights came down.  But, as soon as I put this laptop on, it started up.  

I will respond to each of you a different time.  Surprisingly enough, I don't particually like the feel of my face melting off.  Imagine that

Don't worry, I'm not giving up, I just haven't figured out what to do next.  

I already have the dictation software.  It isn't very accurate.  I just got it about 2 or 3 years ago.  So, that isn't the answer.  

I could go back to pen and paper, or a OMG a typewriter, but, a computer is just so much easier.

I guess I could also try to write in 10 min increments till the pain gets too bad, but, boy is it hard to get anything finished like that.  

I could dictate my work if you know anyone who wants to type it all out   I know, don't we all want that??

Ok, I'm off

Hi Dan,

I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. Hope you'll get over. KEEP WRITNG . It is better to do something every day to distract your pain.

Strangely enough, I posted the reply on January 2 but it disappeared. Don't know why.

Hey Dan,

Glad to see you are still around. Very sorry I haven't been in contact with you recently. I'll give you a call here soon so we can catch up. I know it's tough, man. But try to stay positive.
