| Barbara Walters has the chicken pox. The television veteran has been hospitalized for more than a week after taking a fall. Doctors wouldn’t release her because she was running a temperature, and now they know why: The 83-year-old news veteran has a disease many people deal with when they are children. Whoopi Goldberg delivered the news Monday on “The View,” the daytime talk show Walters started. Goldberg delivered an ultimatum to Walters: “No scratching.”

There is a constantly running commercial about chicken pox and shingles - it says if you have ever had them you can get shingles no matter what the age. They are also selling meds so I took the ad with a huge grain of salt.

I´ll take the high road for once. I had the chicken pox at age 28. I´ve never been that sick. Two cases of the shingles since. I would not wish chicken pox on any adult. Not even a leftist harpy like barbara walters.

PS
Get a shingles vaccine. It´s not recommended for people under 60, but given my 2 experiences with shingles, the doctor gave me the shot when I was 58. I was told it may not prevent shingles, but will limit severity if you do get it.

I had a friend in his 30´s got the chicken pox and was hospitalized. I have never had the chicken pox. I sure don ´t want them either. I don´t care for Barbara Walters but do not wish the chicken pox or shingles on her or anyone else. My son-in-law had shingles last year and it was tough for him, he is 51 he only broke out on one side of his head.

This is the one and ONLY time that I am going to sympathize with baba wawa. I had the chicken pox at 29. I was out of work for a solid month and ended up going back before my doctor cleared me. Frankly, I have never felt so close to dying as I did then. I literally slept 22 hours at a time, and when I got the energy to get up to eat something, I would need a three hour nap to recover from the effort.
Keep in mind that I was a healthy 29 year old at the time. BW is an elderly woman. This IS serious and not something I would wish on my worst enemy!!

When the career of golf´s top player and biggest star was in free fall in 2010, the brain trust of professional golf in the U.S. gathered in their Florida headquarters to contemplate life after Tiger Woods. Huddling with consultants from their Austin, Texas, advertising firm, senior executives at the PGA Tour tried to figure out how to persuade fans, sponsors and television networks to stay invested in a sport whose biggest draw had been disgraced.(Snip)Defying predictions, the post-Tiger collapse never happened, thanks to the rise of a flashy new crop of players.

Offered admission into several top colleges, she accepted a scholarship to UC San Diego, leaving behind the often rough, inner-city world of South Los Angeles. But on Thursday, Dashiell´s talent and promise were a distant, squandered memory as the 24-year-old sat handcuffed in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom. After years of lying, she fully confessed to her role in a 2007 murder and, in a deal with prosecutors, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and attempted robbery.(Snip)Judge Michael Pastor sentenced

These are trying times. Never in the history of this country have we been so weakened and polarized by what many view as deliberate government policy. Now anti-gunners in the U.S. Congress, the Obama administration, and legislatures across the country are seeking to exploit the Newtown tragedy to promote their “gun control” agenda that envisions federal, universal background checks on gun purchases, and that could lead to gun registration and confiscation. At the same time, the increasing militarization of law enforcement, most visibly demonstrated by the growing use of massive, SWAT-type raids on businesses and individuals, sometimes with federal

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
