How wonderful we can all acknowledge/share our holidays in here. We had a wonderful Chanukah/Christmas tradition with neighbors on our block for quite a few years. Their daughter was my daughter's age when they met, all of 3 years old. Every year, for about 10-12 years we would go to their house, admire their wonderful decorations, grab a few candy canes off the Christmas tree and the kids would exchange gifts. Chanukah, the family would come to our home, kids would exchange gifts, eat latkes, jelly donuts and play the draydel game. Those once 3 year olds are now in their mid 30s, married, each with 2 children and still keep in touch. @Sea Dog Greg, Jack wanted me to thank you for posting the knee brace info in here. It makes a difference when he wears it. Definitely cuts down on some the pain. When I was young every kid regardless of religion went to A&S in downtown Brooklyn to see Santa Claus .We all came home with a 5x7 picture of us with Santa Claus. When my kids were young we took them every year to see Santa Claus at an area in Brooklyn where people came from all over the tri state area and still do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vlogger I follow did an extensive video on locations. At 35 minutes in is the falls. If you loved Twin Peaks this is a great video to watch I was a huge Twin Peaks fan.I have an ID card identifying myself as a resident of Twin Peaks,every issue of the Twin Peaks Gazette and a book about the show.I also have a cassette by Julee Cruise who recorded the songs sung during the show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 7 or 8 years ago, I had a weird looking rash on my right side rib cage, a long ugly looking strip. Didn't itch or hurt but after some prodding from family, I went to my doctor & as soon as he looked at it said "Yep, you have Shingles". Gave a prescription and within a week or two, it was gone. Never even got the pain medicine prescription filled as it there was no pain or itchiness. I also don't remember having chicken pox as a child but apparently I must've. Absolutely. I've seen mild presentations often. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t painful and it didn’t itch. I was told to isolate until it cleared up. Absolutely no need to isolate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
