  1. I wear the button on a string around my neck 24/7. Once I push the button then I get a contact voice on the machine asking me if I need help. A couple of weeks ago the button got pushed about 3AM in my sleep and the Alert person asking me if I were okay and needing help. I pay for it each month; I have a three year contract. Since getting it have heard ads offering something akin to it for free. There are no gay groups here not even a Pflag.
  2. I have Life Alert. When I fall again that will be the end. I'll call the rescue squad and have them take me to the ER. Then I'll insist on going to a home and have the county conservator take care of me.
  3. Could be. I'm hooked! I don't drink coffee or tea but indulge in diet soda and water. That would help explain my long time memory problems.
  4. I don't know.
  5. I just checked the tracking of an order of a book that I got. Then I checked the tracking of the book I didn't get. It did not get to my town. Yet it said the book had arrived. In fact the order was routed through 5 different towns,
  6. I get eight (?) prescription meds in the mail. 90 day supplies. I pay $0 for them. I only have Medicare Part D. I think I haven't met the donut hole yet. Two are coming but they have to get refill prescriptions from my doctor. I always had a co-pay at the pharmacy. I have one I have to pay $80 for. It's for diabetic toe pain. The rent box store couldn't find it; it should have arrived early October. So I reordered it. They gave me a 20% discount.
  7. The county has a program where you can hire people to help. They are well screened.
  8. He is a retired school teacher who substitutes.
  9. I know the name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_Proust Just like I know that Georges Sand was a woman.
  10. I got Hint Water today with the "Caffeine Kick". Black Raspberry. It's like tap water with a little flavor.
  11. THANK-YOU!!! I didn't know they had a phone number. Again thanks! I did report the missing items to the rent box store; they said they searched. I'm expecting more meds. I hate to bother my landlord too much. That's why it was a month since he was here but he said to call him anytime. No super; just the landlord.
  12. But Homer will live in hearts forever! I wonder if grade school students even know about the Trojan Horse? Btw it's not in the "Iliad". When they hear Homer they probably think of "The Simpsons? :(:(
  13. Despite the walker my legs are weak; I can not go far.
  14. I have a poor memory so I made this memory game but it hasn't helped. It takes me awhile at night to fall asleep. Plus I get up several times. So I connected something with the first day of each of the 12 months. Kept it simple. Like 1 June celebrates the birthday of the poet Dante. 1 October the anniversary of the death of Don Juan of Austria, natural son of the Emperor Charles V. He was the Victor at Lepanto. So in bed I try to list them in order. Sometimes I can list all but usually not. Sometimes I'll remember one but then seconds later I'll have forgotten it again. But I've had such a memory for years.
  15. "Constellation Myths" by Erasthones and Hyginus with Aratus "Phaenomena" "The Library of Greek Mythology" by Apollodorus "The Homeric Hymns" All the above are Oxford World's Classics. When I was young I liked Penguin but now Oxford. Aelian "On Animals Book 1-5". This is a Loeb Classical Edition. Greek on one page with English on the opposite page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudius_Aelianus "Allegories of the Illiad" by John Tzetzes - 12th century Byzantine author https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tzetzes
  16. I have a rent mail box. I ordered several books. All but one arrived. There were different dates. The tracking said it arrived two weeks ago. It had been a month since my landlord brought me groceries and mail. He came by today. I called the rent box store. They said they did not have it. Advice? Early October I ordered some meds for diabetic toe pain. It should have arrived early October. It too was not there. I reordered it today. But they gave me a 20% discount.
  17. That is such a wonderful story! Thank-you for sharing! :):)
  18. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Coco_Peru She is going to be on "Will & Grace" tonight.
  19. You know me too well!!! :):)
  20. Thanks for the recommendation. I went to Wiki and of course most of what I saw was about the Oklahoma satirist.
  21. On the recent episode of "The Conners" Mark dressed as Frida Kahlo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frida_Kahlo I don't care for her. I prefer Angelika Kauffman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelica_Kauffman
  22. Thank-you!!!
  23. http://www.behindthename.com/name/devante/submitted On "Black-ish" last season Andre said that he wanted one child to have a black name so he named the son Devante. I've been watching the FX series "Mayans MC" and Tony Plana plays an Hispanic character named Devante.
  24. Back on "90210" I preferred her brother Randy.
