That is painful, Holly, I hope they heal quickly.2 Broken ribs... and thank you...
I was about to send you a hug, but then I thought that you might elbow me in the nose.
Take care, here's a very, very gentle hug.

Boy am I overdue for an eye appt… between COVID ‘waves’ and trying to match my in-town schedule with the optometrist, it hasn’t been coming together. And if I understand correctly, basic Medicare doesn’t cover eye-related stuff (?) so I better get crackingGot an eye exam this morning. Prescription changed a little but not much. Been going the same place for 12 years or so. Good doc and nice staff.
I had mine earlier this year.. so I'm totally up-to-date .. is it 2 years eye exams there in the US as well as here ?Me too @CinnamonSugar I am way overdue and the optometrist I can see from my window so I don't have an excuse it's too far away!
Wow, the big move is coming right up, this week!We were supposed to move today, but we are moving Tuesday instead, taking 2 days to get there since I can't see to drive at night
Thank you! Everything will be fine, I think. My cousin and I are a lot alike, and he can't wait to spring me on his friends because of that. I think he's thinking of things like this:Wow, the big move is coming right up, this week!
Congratulations on getting to this point, and will hope for everything to go as well as possible, for the transition time, for both of you!
What do you do when that happens?So far not much,, energy level is low,, BP is low too.
Will be checking that about lunch time.
AFAIK, one can get them whenever s/he pleases. A lot of the time they aren't covered by insurance.I had mine earlier this year.. so I'm totally up-to-date .. is it 2 years eye exams there in the US as well as here ?
Since I'm an old crumbly and have had Posterior vitreous detachments (PVDs) in both eyes, I have annual eye checks. I've just made an appointment so hopefully that will be OK. My eyesight hasn't changed in years, but I chipped one lens in my glasses, so a new pair will be in order.I had mine earlier this year.. so I'm totally up-to-date .. is it 2 years eye exams there in the US as well as here ?
The stipulation for us is every 2 years unless there's obvious problems with the eyes... we pay out of pocket for glasses.. even if we have Private medical insurance. However after 60 we no longer have to pay for eye tests...AFAIK, one can get them whenever s/he pleases. A lot of the time they aren't covered by insurance.
Oh. I figured it was a volunteer position. The Board of Trustees oversees the library, and there are only 3 of them. The librarian said they needed "new blood", but I'm going to have to curb my enthusiasm if I get appointed. I don't want to be seen as the outsider who came in and tried to change everything, because I don't. I just want to help. My payment should be, IMO, the reward of service to the community.@WheatenLover lover, remind us on Monday night that you;re leaving Tuesday so we can send well wishes for the drive... and I do hope you get the Library job, however you might find that given the lack of local authority funds, they might want you to volunteer..
Unless the skeleton was a discard from a donated-to-science body and used for an anatomical model (wired and hinged parts), there are laws governing corpses. Perhaps it was Jimmy Hoffa?Thank you! Everything will be fine, I think. My cousin and I are a lot alike, and he can't wait to spring me on his friends because of that. I think he's thinking of things like this:
We found a real casket with a real human skeleton at an antique fair, and he went back to buy it (think of the potential uses!) and someone else already had. Now he wants to buy a fake version of the same thing. I told him no -- real or nothing. I want to hang the skeleton in the coat closet for when guest some over and dress it up to sit in the living room on holidays. Oh, there are lots of pranks to play if only we had a real one!
It seems kind of weird that a real skeleton would be at an antiques fair, though. We examined it and it was real. Maybe it was an old one used for teaching purposes at a med school. Also, I'm kind of iffy on the respect part when dealing with a real skeleton. So maybe it's better we didn't get it.
As a doctor told me when I was in my twenties, "No one dies of low blood pressure." I miss those days of feeling faint - now, my BP is high and I have to take pills.Wheatenlover,, after I think about you question on low blood pressure,, don't recall being told what to do about it being low.
I figured because I hadn't been upright very long when I took it was the reason.
Just did another BP check 118/62.
I think best figures are 120/80,, so I'm low on the bottom number.
By the way which part of PA are you leaving ?
I'm in Northwestern PA.
Travel safe.
I have no idea.I had mine earlier this year.. so I'm totally up-to-date .. is it 2 years eye exams there in the US as well as here ?
Can't be then, otherwise you would get 2 yearly letters from the opticianI have no idea.
Speaking of Jimmy Hoffa, has anybody else wondered if his is one of the bodies found in Lake Mead?Unless the skeleton was a discard from a donated-to-science body and used for an anatomical model (wired and hinged parts), there are laws governing corpses. Perhaps it was Jimmy Hoffa?
I make so many croissants Every. Damn. Day. that I can't think of anything I'd like less, no matter how hungry I get!Right now, a croissant sounds good....I haven't had breakfast yet.

They do, according to Mayo Clinic, but rarely.As a doctor told me when I was in my twenties, "No one dies of low blood pressure." I miss those days of feeling faint - now, my BP is high and I have to take pills.
