I don't like to go by myself anymore. I am not that stable wading a river anymore. But I will carefully go with a group or a friend.

I just finished filling out my online patient portal for my upcoming cataract surgery. Took forever.....page and question after question. I just did it for the pre op visit. But, they are unaffiliated so I had to do the damn thing over again.
I have done this every time I see a new doctor or specialist....isn't there a way to merge this....?

Hello Pute, the talk of tomatoes is slimming down and we are onto indoor projects. Mostly.
Things are well at home and I am grateful for that, thank you and I hope the same for your home.
I found out out if I touch my thermostat while the furnace is running it will mess with the electronics, so never touch the thermostat until the furnace stops running. I think it was maybe 8 years ago we put in a high efficiency gas furnace. Works great as long as you don't mess with the controls while in operation.
Oh yeah, technology, it sure has gotten a lot more complicated over the years. At least you have hair to pullout.

That may be true and I agree they do but raising min wage just raises inflation so it's chasing the tail.Trades people aren't compensated and their wages stagnate. Min wage has gone up $7 in a few years and trades contracts are at 2%
Ok, I can't keep up Scotty, we are moving at warp speed, the pages are flying off.
I have morning dishes to do and make pizza dough for tomorrow.

Target practice looks like to me!
LAPD Defends Unleashing Robot Dog on City, Promises 'Spot' Will Never Be Weaponized
LAPD plans to use Spot in situations to reduce risk to police officers, however others are worried the robot dog may become a symbol of militarization.www.ibtimes.com
Meanwhile the MSM is making it sound like they're filthy stinkin rich...
Hell on Earth?
Did they use a red filter to enhance the effect? Sure seems to be 'redder' than one would think.
The price you pay for the politicians you elected... apparently, it's a two-way street?
Hello just popping in to say hi
There are some that like it this way but it sure as hell isn't the average person.
I have no idea how it could all be fixed, and just exactly who would be willing to level the economic playing field for all.
I don't see anyone who would go against the grain of the present economic system. It works very well for some who have the advantages. Why would they want to change that.
My son is a tradesman, he is a plumber & gas worker, in Alberta. He has worked his way up within a new company determined to be at the top of their industry. These days he mostly does the ordering of materials and over sees work projects. I don't think he does much actual plumbing but never the less he is still a tradesman. I know how his family has to work hard for their life. They both work and have 2 young children. they do well for themselves but they are not wealthy by any means. It's expensive living in Calgary.
It would be nice if all working citizens didn't have to struggle, that's all I care about.
I better get at my chores.
all the best Dime

Am in the same predicament it seems everytime I do something anymore it results in pain, I'm tired of it and you're close to 20 years older than me yet.
Mom always said take care of your feet and your back.
its not a wage gap its a skills gap
/those sound like good trades and i hope he does well
minimum wage was not meant to support a family, its the entry level wage
the more you bring to the table the better off you will be

Hello Old Man and a very good day for yourself as well!
Hello Jan!
I recently did the same thing. Even box ripened, they are better than store bought!
Story for ya. I was in Walgreens getting a refill on my propane the other day. I went to the counter to pay and there was an Hispanic man in line in front of me. He didn't speak a word of English and had no idea of how to pay with a credit card. The clerk had to do it for him. He bough only a can of soda. When finished he pulled out a bag of chips and repeated the process. This went on.....he charged one item at a time. The clerk tried to tell him that he could charge them all together.....NOPE.....no communication period.
The waiting line got longer and longer until another checker had come and open another register. Amazing.

I just pull it from my back and ears. Hair isn’t really supposed to be there anyway…
