With all the natural disasters I think it would be a good idea.

"Hey guys! Hold my beer and watch this!"

Those were good! :p:p:p Thank-you for sharing!

Thomas de Mahy, marquis de Favras (March 26, 1744 – February 19, 1790) was a French aristocrat and supporter of the House of Bourbon during the French Revolution. Often seen as a martyr of the Royalist cause, Thomas was executed for his part in "planning against the people of France" and is known for saying "I see that you have made three spelling mistakes" upon reading his death sentence.

MEOW

Although I have all the movie channels I haven't looked at those sex shows in years. But weren't they all straight?

When I was a young turkey, new to the coop,

My big brother Mike took me out on the stoop,

Then he sat me down, and he spoke real slow,

And he told me there was something that I had to know;

His look and his tone I will always remember,

When he told me of the horrors of ..... Black November;

"Come about August, now listen to me,

Each day you'll be thick, where once you were thin,

And you'll grow a big rubbery thing under your chin.

"And then one morning, when you're warm in your bed,

In'll burst the farmer's wife, and hack off your head;

"Then she'll pluck out all your feathers so you're bald'n pink,

And scoop out all your insides and leave ya lyin' in the sink,

"And then comes the worst part" he said not bluffing,

"She'll spread your cheeks and pack your rear with stuffing".

Well, the rest of his words were too grim to repeat,

I sat on the stoop like a winged piece of meat,

And decided on the spot that to avoid being cooked,

I'd have to lay low and remain overlooked;

I began a new diet of nuts and granola,

High-roughage salads, juice and diet cola,

And as they ate pastries, chocolates and crepes,

I stayed in my room doing Jane Fonda tapes,

I maintained my weight of two pounds and a half,

And tried not to notice when the bigger birds laughed;

But 'twas I who was laughing, under my breath,

As they chomped and they chewed, ever closer to death;

And sure enough when Black November rolled around,

I was the last turkey left in the entire compound;

So now I'm a pet in the farmer's wife's lap;

I haven't a worry, so I eat and I nap,

She held me today, while sewing and humming,

And smiled at me and said "Christmas is coming........"

Yes I have. My favorite was the Duncan Butterfly, but I also had an Imperial.

Duncan sounded familiar

Yes, that is it precisely. I am not sure if you have seen it ( I have a feeling you have). The two I really liked were Bovril Pam with Jodie Comer and Pig Life with Shirley Henderson. They were all good. The actress in Outside is particularly good. Also the Pritilata and Reclaim The Night pieces are stunning. I thank you and my friend thanks you.

Glad I could help.

I liked her museum in Santa Fe.

I was part of a college car pool in 1961-

1962 (freshman year) with real a yo-yo who believed Rock Hudson was "queer."

Say it ain't so!

When I saw "Vitamix" I thought of this :p:p:p

I haven't eaten a banana in over a year. My doctor says my potassium is too high, but that's probably due to one of the meds he prescribed.

I don't like bananas; I have only eaten one in my life. I was @12yo. One time my mother made bread pudding for dessert. It looked terrible! I gave it to my father. My mother told me if I weren't going to eat what she made then I couldn't eat with the family. So I went without lunch to school. One girl gave me a banana.

Thanks! Let any of us know if you need some encouragement!!

I greatly appreciate what everyone has done. It has helped knowing I'm not alone!

Might this be it?

Is this what's keeping you away from the doctor? Medicare should cover the cost of an annual visit. You might have a small copay for tests he orders.

It's wasn't because of finances. I was used to it. They first billed Medicare and then later I was told what I owed. But because I was seeing the doctor so often almost every time I went in I had to pay the old bill.

Ok, you answered you’d like a haircut. You’re Still avoiding part of the question:

 

Do you WANT to see your doctor?

I would. I'm seriously thinking about it. I really need to see him if it's just to hear him tell me that I'm okay. It took me months to get the walker. I'm glad I did.

Look, I'm not that social either, and I know what you mean about being happy alone. But what about the diabetes? In the end, you don't want to wake up with a cold leg.

 

Preventing that means getting blood draws every few months to check on your A1C levels. There are mobile blood draw services that can come to you, and Medicare apparently covers it. Your doctor's office should be able to arrange for this.

 

Look, you took some action a few months ago. You chased down your doctor, and signed up for that service. Now you just need to take a little more action and get a lab done, maybe get a health care provider to come to you. Your landlord could definitely help you with this.

I have looked into getting a home heath nurse. My doctor says he can't do it unless he sees me first. I called the County Health Department; they don't have anything. I called the hospital and they don't have any service.

After my two stays in the hospital - 1999, 2006 - someone did come out everyday for a couple of weeks to check up on me. However they could not give shots.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The money I would have spent on the doctor these last six months I'm buying books from Amazon.

I read that while using Splenda may have no effect on human cells, it causes havoc to the bacteria living in your digestional tract. I don't know how true that is, but I recommend using Stevia. I like the Pyure brands organic Stevia Blend. Doesn't have that nasty metallic aftertaste the cheaper stuff does.

Thanks for the recommendation. I rarely use a sweetener. I had some blackberries last week. That was the first time in months.

Stevia is in the green box.

Ah, another apology from Avalon - to be followed by another flurry of dumb threads that you know are a subject of derision? Maybe at some point you’ll be embarrassed into apologizing for that too, but probably not.

A major gripe I have is when people refuse to apologize when they are wrong. It so simple and can ease hurt feelings. But some are so stubborn!

do you have a will?

 

No. I don't really care what happens to my stuff. I have a niece I'm six years older than she is but she has no children nor does her brother. I have a cousin my age but she has her family and own concerns.

Who would want my father's wedding ring & etc.?

How I'd love a haircut! It's now on my shoulders. And I hate facial hair.

@Avalon do you WANT to leave the house and see your doctor? Get a haircut?

Yes. I'm sorry I overlooked your query.

Gotta love the Honey Badger!!!
