  1. Bryan Knight - that big guy?
  2. An Indian restaurant we used to patronize nearly every week increased their prices about 70%. We still go there, but we are down to once in a few months.
  3. $100.00 is a lot to raise your rate all at once, no matter what the client had been paying. I"m not saying don't raise your rates, but you should have expected pushback for a 100.00 increase. I can't think of what you might do in your business, but a lot of times service businessess find a way to soften the impact of a big price increase by enhancing the service in small ways.
  4. Remember not to flush them. Plumbers say that even the "flushable" wipes can plug up the sewer line.
  5. The only thing I use it for is the sleep stories, which really help me fall asleep quickly and get back to sleep if I wake in the middle of the night. The sleep stories are bedtime stories for adults. Calm also has a lot of material on meditation instruction and ways to modulate your mood, anxiety level, mindset, etc. I have been meditating for decades so I find their instruction kind of quaint, but it would be very useful for someone new to meditation. Recently, I've been fiddling with Yoga Nidra, which really helps my energy level.
  6. Give me a call - I would love to talk to you.
  7. Same for asthma, and abuterol as needed. I have the generic for Advair: Wixela
  8. Great for salmon @ 425 degrees.
  9. I do have issues, even though I’m not a provider. 25 mg. of Benadryl is a huge help. Even with the Benadryl, more often than not, I need extra help. I listen to sleep stories in the Calm app and the right ones can put me out in no time. My current favorite is narrated by a gorgeous Spanish guy with a hypnotic voice that lulls me to sleep in minutes.
  10. I don't shower before but I do a PTA bath.
  11. The NAACP has issued a travel advisory for people of color and LGBTQ people. If that didn't make you think about leaving Florida, I don't know what would.
  12. Oscar Wilde - It's an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco. It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world.
  13. True - who would have thought.
  14. A provider I got together with told me I simple had to visit there - that it was the Palm Springs of the Southeast.
  15. At Kaiser, I've been given the label "high-risk." I looked up to see what that actually means and it doesn't mean that I'm likely to fall over dead at any second - it just means that I cost them a lot. I guess it's those three spine surgeries.
  16. If possible he should try to work with an agent he has a relationship with. Since I have changed practice areas maintining prior acts coverage was going to be tricky. I was thinking I was going to have to change agents, but just in case, I called my agent. It turned out to be as tricky as I was afraid it would be, but she got it done. In fact, I probably ought to send her a present.
  17. Set priorities. Marshall resources. I have an accountability coach who helped me with this a lot in the past year when my energy level was so unpredictable. By proritizing and making the most of energy peaks, I was able meet all my deliverables and keep by business going.
  18. Aww,. thank you.
  19. Yes - my hemo switched me from Xarelto to Eliquis for that reason.
  20. I had a pair. I really liked them, but I didn't pay enought for them. They wore out very quickly. I used them to rehab from a spine surgery.
  21. Thx Marco. Nobody should know better than you.
  22. I'm a competitive bodybuilder - I don't think I would have achieved what I have without trainers, coaches, etc. Whenever somebody asks me about competing - My first question is "Do you have a coach?" The answer is always "no," so my single piece of advice is "Get one."
  23. I do just what you do. Mostly, I keep it to guys in my area, but when I come across a guy anywhere who makes me think "Damn!!!, I add him, just in case. Occassionally I go through and prune. I don't have a long list though - maybe 25 or 30 guys.
  24. My avatar is an actual photo of me. I have had a series of health challenges that have taken their toll on my physique. I'm not ashamed of my present condition, but I certainly am eager to get on the road back to my former self.
  25. If I really wanted to get together with him, I wouldn't want to pass him by just because he says he is open to P&P. If he had to be cranked in order to play, I think I would say no. But if it was one among a variety of services and it wasn't a requirement and otherwise the impression was good, I might take a chance on him. So much conversation about P&P is tinged with that reflexive attitude that the client is a victim of the provider. One time, I drove a long way to get together with a guy and, when I got there, he was clearly cranked on meth. I chatted with him for a few minutes, told him I didn't think it would work and left.
