You want to get chicken pox early.

Actually, shingles is caused by the chicken pox virus, but it's not the same disease. I got shingles last winter (and yes, DANG) but I had the pox when I was really little. It's like the old virus just comes out of remission or something.
They put me on Valtrex to get rid of the shingles - it worked, but I got not end of grief about it from my friends.
Best prevention against shingles is don't take immune system suppressing drugs while regularly staying up till 5 am to watch reruns of The X Files and MASH. That's my advice, anyway.

One of my mates got the chickenpox when she was in first year in college, and it can be quite serious apparently. It left some scars and everything. So, avoid sick kids, I guess?

Well, there's a strong possibility I have an immunity to it from what my doctor told me, but I am not going to go out of my way to get it. When/if I have kids and they get it, I will not be around them while they have it just to be safe.

You could setup a camera so that you can monitor your kids from another room. That's what my dad did when my youngest sister was born; my other sister and I had chicken pox at the time, so we had to watch our new sister remotely on the television.
pen:
That just sounds sad.

Seriously though. The production values were terrible. No title graphics, no emotional music, nothing.
