Shingles: who has some experiences?

3 years ago

I have had the original shingles shot going back years. Then they improved the vaccine and I got the double shots from my local pharmacist. But I think I might be getting shingles. On my right waist, there was an irritation yesterday on perfectly clear skin. It was an itching/painful feel and then subsided. Today there is a small red mark the size of a mosquito bite. I just have a feeling. Is it possible to get shingles after having all the vaccines? You aren't required to get a booster, are you? Thanks for any info you might have.

who has experience growing metasequoia from seed

I have a question. One of my seedlings had the top broken off a few weeks ago, by a #@&@&!*(*($ squirrel that has a death wish. The topmost lateral branch (and only branch it had at the time, in fact) has continued growing much longer, and has somewhat turned more upright, as if trying to make a new leader. At the same time, several new shoots are starting in the axils of the needles along the stem, including one right next to the lateral branch that's now turning upward. Should I take that branch that's already trying to become the new leader, and stake it straight up? It's flexible enough to do so. Or - should I just let it go for a while and see what happens? I actually pushed a bamboo stake in the pot this morning but stopped short of trying to tie it straight.

Who has had experience with Yorktowne or Diamond Cabinets??
Q

I have Yorktowne Cabs and I have found them to be perfectly fine. They were here when we moved in. I repainted rather than replaced them for my mini reno. At 13 or more years old they look far better than some of the new cabinets. I have seen some cheap ugly prefab type cabs with the label Yorktowne but these are not their Gold Collection. Is this DIY or do you have a KD, GC or cabinet maker? If I wanted to go a step up from KM I would seriously consider a cabinet maker. You might discover in this market they have great deals and work hard for their money. Choose KM or Yorktown and the cabinet maker can do some amazing molding or details that will look as beautiful as Fieldstone or Crystal cabinets. ~boxerpups here is an article about cabs and a link from last summer.

Calling anyone who has experience with a Shaws sink

I've had my Shaw's sink for 6 years and it's not high maintenance at all. I don't treat it an differently than my old stainless POS sink. It doesn't chip easily, it doesn't crack with hot water and it cleans up with a scrubbie and abrasive cleaners and looks as good as new. I love it. I do have a small grid under the dishpan I keep in the sink, for drainage. If I'm doing a lot of cooking and washing of pots and pans, I have a small vinyl sink mat that I put down in the free side of the sink. You'll love it.
