I’ve heard that Shuggah has disappeared. Try contacting them to ask what is happening. If that doesn’t help I would try a chargeback on your card for a refund. If you search for zukka you should be able to download that for free and it has full support from the developers.

That’s good. Have you had a nice day today as well?

I would definitely talk to your doctor. There are alternatives to viagra.
