Many people don't realise how evil and terrible shingles can be, thinking "oh it's just itchy skin." No. It is much, much worse than that, and it's very painful as well.

What kind of salt to water ratio do you use, just out of curiosity because I've been doing intermittent fasting for a while now.

A note on English: "Fresh off the press" is the colloquialism you're looking for, not "Fresh out of press."

What key serves as "clear" in this game?

I don't think the OP was suggesting it would be a good life if by "good" you mean a life of relative comfort. I think his claim was much more modest. The point is that at that time a fa…

When I was 18 years old and a new classical guitar student, I was very fortunate to hear the Maestro in concert. I even got to meet him briefly afterward because my music professor had some connection…
