It is my understanding that a DO is trained the same as an MD, but with more holistics thrown in. There is a DO in the small town nearest to me. I go to an MD practice much farther away, and have seen an MD once; it is always a Nurse Prac. I tried to make an appointment with the DO some years...

In nursing school, one of the things they taught us was to use the proper term for body parts. It's "breast", not "tit" or "boob" and so on. I worked in a large county hospital in south Texas where many of our patients did not speak English or whose English was limited. In addition to that...

Shaking my head and laughing. I used to travel a lot, camping in my van. The can of bear spray is still in the door pocket. The label says it contains mace. Once, in an outhouse in a campground, I accidentally dropped the can and it went pfft! Just a teeny spray as it touched the ground. I...

FREE electricity?? Wow! Makes me wonder what the power company is guilty of? (Sorry, ending the sentence with a preposition.)

^^^This. As my Mother used to say, "Things will look better in the morning." And that is almost always true.

@Paco Dennis You been sneaking around in my back yard?

I haven't been out to eat but once in the last two years. When I used to go out more often, once or twice a week, I would tip at least 15%, most always at least 20%. Since I pay cash for everything, I have not seen the tip line on card purchases. I don't think there is any place here that...

I read nothing that is AI generated. 95% of the time, Duck Duck Go is my choice of search engine. Yes, the first few places on the list are almost always ads. The first thing I look at is the source of the info. If it is for anything medical, I look for places like Mayo Clinic. Not...

Cynic that I am, I will say do not trust the numbers when they first come out. In a few months, they will be "revised" but never front page news.

@hollydolly Some time back, someone (you?) mentioned one of those trolleys. I was going to get one until I realized that it would be very heavy when full. Lifting it in and out of the back of my vehicle, for me, would be a high risk for injury. *sniff* It seems like such a great idea!

Hooray! So glad to hear that.

I have a rather deep voice for a woman. More than once, I have been called Mr. on the phone. When they realize their mistake, there is always an apology. My response has always been, "No Problem. If people think I am a man, maybe they'll pay me more."

Cleaned out the fridge today. Dinner tonight is baked chicken with mushrooms, green onions, garlic and shishito peppers. A squash of some kind which I don't know, I found at the local farm market. Maybe a crookneck? Very bumpy skin, orange. I just cut it up, scraped out the seeds and placed...

What is AEST? Australian Eastern Standard Time? I will look that up. It may be daytime in North America. Or not even visible. Thanks for the heads up, though! Edited to add: Regions seeing, at least, some parts of the eclipse: Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, West in North America, East...

Oh, No! There are small trees here people call choke cherries. I cut down a few small ones and now there are five little ones coming up all around the stump. Same with the lilacs. We all thought my mother was a great gardener. Now I realize she just knew what to plant -- everything invasive...
