For our members over age 55......

[Supervisor42]

Yeah, I figure we're about the same age, and I've actually shook hands with you - so I probably have your cooties now. I better get that shot quick...

Well, if you had chickenpox as a kid, you already had it.
See my future post about what common procedure to skip that can light this **** off again.
I shoulda known better...:bang Head:

I'm kind of trying to figure out what got lit off. I saw everyone being appreciative for the reminder. :confused;

Oh you misunderstood.
I'm talking about what lit off the dormant virus inside me.
The people here are great.
I'm just trying to prevent needless suffering for them.

I gotcha. Now I see. :wink:
And, I agree with you...great group of folks here.

Like Donna said, I was 49 when the shingles hit me. Worse thing I ever ecperienced.

I was 54 if I recall correctly. I think age 55 is when insurance companies will pick up (some of) the cost of the vaccine.

I'd pay more than $250 without blinking an eye......now.

Get the damn shot.

Thanks. I'm convinced! So, wait until 55?

I wouldn't.

The likelihood just skyrockets after 55.

Get the damn shot.

A retired physician, Doctor Gordon Geezer, became very bored in retirement and decided to re-open a medical clinic.


He put a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's clinic. Get your treatment for $500 - if not cured, get back $1,000."


Doctor Digger Young, who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000. So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.


Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me?"


Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."


Dr. Young: 'Aaagh! -- This is Gasoline!"


Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations!

You've got your taste back. That will be $500."


Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.


Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."


Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."


Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't -- that is Gasoline!"


Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."


Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.


Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see anything!"


Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, "Here's your $1000 back" (giving him a $10 bill).


Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!"


Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."


*Moral of story* -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an "old Geezer"


*Remember:* Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off.


ENJOY YOUR DAY

Great thread. I turn 55 this January. After reading these post I think I will get the shot as well.
