That is how it appears to me- all Politics in Hot Topics. SKMB might have felt a period of "time out" was appropriate.

...maybe this is an homage to Steve's "radio silence" on Twitter...:a24::biggrin-new:

Exactly.

Sorry to hear about this, Staro. I know it hurts like hell. Maybe ask your doctor for a compounded lotion to help with that? Be sure to ask for pain relief if you need it. No reason to suffer. :love:

Sorry to hear about this Staro! A couple of weeks ago I asked my doctor about the vaccine and was told that most insurance companies won't cover it unless the patient is over 60 years old and it is an expensive shot (around $300). I wish you a quick recovery.

I just asked the Pharmacist about this vaccine and it is $59.00 in B.C.... But no one gets it free, even those over 60
years old.

I am not feeling all that good today. We will see. I have to see the doc again on Monday. Thanks for asking.
Do you have to work while this is going on? I lost quite a bit of time as a result of shingles as after it was over the pain would come back at odd times (I could never predict when it would be bad)

Seems that the political threads have all been 'locked' as no one can post in them. Poor Marsha, she must have just had enough!!!!!!
Think this is due to her (Marsha) not wanting to burden her fellow moderators with possible conflict while she is away. So temporarily closed threads while awaiting her return (and giving us time to cool off a little too i imagine).

Yes. People will say and do things while volunteers are on duty that they never would during Marsha's hours.

Good move! We need time to get over the shock of it all :unclesam::icon_eek:

I know it is a painful experience and would not wish it on anyone

Here is a Sean Connery meme to help take your mind off the pain:
