  1. ...And I was just thinking how we will definitely need to have some kind words and toasts to memorialize the great Daddy during some of this meet-up.

     

    @David-SF is planning a pre-event at his home in Cathedral City (next door to Palm Springs). At the event, he is planning to plant a tree in Daddy’s honor. https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/attention-18th-annual-palm-springs-weekend-2021.163323/

  2. True story. A couple of days ago, I made an online grocery order at my local “K” for pickup. I ordered what I thought was one pound of green beans at $1.69/pound. I brought up the item and clicked +1 assuming one pound, right? So I picked up the order and as I was unpacking, found a small plastic produce sack with one fucking green bean!

     

    My landlord ordered ¼ lb. of sliced various cold cuts. Yep, you guessed it. They delivered 14 lbs. of each cold cut! Fortunate for me, he shares.

  3. Over the weekend, one news group stated Gavin Newsom, CA Governor, received a letter from more than 150 restaurants stating facts disproving the need to close restaurants amid Covid concerns. Once the decision was announced, I did not hear this claim again.

  4. I use GoodRx “coupons” for drugs that aren’t covered by Medicare Part D. For example, Part D does not cover my sleeping pills. A GoodRx coupon allows me to pay $18 per month at Ralph’s as opposed to $100+. I’ve used it for more than one year with zero issues.

  5. I was told by two doctors that the CDC recommends that individuals that developed Gullain-Barre Syndrome (probably due to a flu vaccine) NOT receive the Covid-19 vaccine. Certain components in the flu vaccine are also in the Covid vaccine. So, I’m out for the new vaccine. Bummer.

  6. About 25 years ago I was waiting for a delayed flight from London to New York in the Virgin Atlantic Upper Class Clubhouse. They were known for their “fun” preflight services including meals, drinks, massages, shoe shines and more. The adorable shoe shine boy came over and asked if I’d like my shoes shined. I stated that they were suede and couldn’t be shined. He said he could clean them for me. He was too sweet and cute to dismiss so I gave him my shoes to clean. Later as I was talking to Richard Branson, (The founder and CEO of Virgin Atlantic. He was in the Clubhouse going around to the JFK passengers apologizing for the multiple hour delay.) the shoe shine boy returned with my shoes beaming. He had proudly polished my suede shoes! Since Mr. Branson was still standing there there was nothing I could do but thank him for a great job. That flight cost me a round trip Upper Class ticket and a pair of suede shoes!

  7. I’m on Medicare D, which I hate. For part of the year all of my co-pays are through the roof (donut hole). Recently, my pharmacy changed my Truvada for PrEP prescription to the generic. I expected the co-pay to plummet but it didn’t. It was similar to Truvada.
