Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 14-Jul-2020 08:59 <=-
I need to have a colonoscopy done - no rush, just slightly overdue
on the five-year. [snip]
If you call, worst case probably would be "no, we aren't open for that
yet", but then they'll know that you are wanting to know as soon as
they do open... :)
And now probably open with the social distancing. Right now a bunch
of But Firsts have lined up.... Though what's new?!
Don't want to put that off too long, though... :)
No, July 3rd as I type this, so half the year gone!
And have you checked yet...?Of course not!
Did get an e-mail reminder I was overdue for a checkup -- But First!
So, are you going to tell them that they waited so long that other
things jumped in line in front of their most important checkup...? ;)
Naaa! <g> Plus the level of priority changes constantly, and with the
viewpoint. To them my eye exam would always have a few extra points
attached, to me arranging the roof replacement from the hail storm had
added points, though in hind-sight plenty of available slots to get an
eye exam.... And today's excuse is it's the Friday before the 4th of
July................
Hopefully you've run out of excuses now... <G> I got in to ourRight: the need to keep people away from each other, disinfect between appointments, etc.
Optical Shop on July 1st, and am now waiting for them to call me with
the news that my new glasses are ready... at that point, will need to
make an appointment to pick them up and have the final fitting...
more rigid than before... :)
Have a dental appointment coming up in about ten days -- their parking
lot is long and narrow with trees and arbor vitae on on the
sun-coming-up side (east) so you'll know where I'll be!
Not getting my usual dental hygenist this time so probably won't get
her room but the view out her windows is almost looking into a small
ravine: the perimeter is taller trees and shrubs, bird feeders are
hanging from some branches. The 'ravine' goes down at least a story
below. While waiting and seated I watch the birds and squirrels.
Our dentist's office is right on the Erie/Barge Canal, so we lookThat could be rather interesting as long as river/canal traffic
out (from just about any room) onto the canal... :)
passing by for entertainment.
BTW, "look ma, no cavities!" with
yesterday's dental appointment. Call from the parking lot, someone
comes out to check temperature and quick update from the preliminary
call last Thursday. Somewhat escorted in -- doors propped open so
don't have to touch (not overly warm outside yet).
Only a few things different as far as the actual cleaning procedure:
swish with a hydrogen peroxide solution (never did that before). She
wore a mask (normal) plus a full face shield (modified - goggles
before). A little more scraping of the teeth, no polishing due to
release of micro-aerosols.

Exactly... and now I have the new glasses, and am putting off
letting them know that I think they need a bit more adjustment,
since I'm sure that will require another appointment... used to
be able to just walk in at my convenience....

We can also see ducks/geese swimming on the canal, and activity
across the canal.... :)
... A flashlight is basically a tin can for transporting dead
batteries.
We saw two very large flocks of some sort of goose last Wednesday (two days after the storm)! Autumn noticed them -- just happened to look up
as no honking. First flock probably had 30-35 geese -- not in a proper V-formation as they were changing positions. Second one a couple
minutes later of maybe 15 or 20 geese -- not the same one as the first flock was seen going off to the East. They too were silent.

I'm already wondering what the wooly worms are forecasting this
winter??
That described the lesson learned by the blonde on the first
day of winter. It was the last class just before the Christmas
break...and she was initially thrilled that "it was the shortest
day of the year"... but, she was crushed when found out it was in
daylight hours.
It's those darned little details!

Shortened periods of daylight! <g>

It's like when I was at the National Square Dance Convention in
Houston back in 1987. One of the married ladies from my club
(she, her husband, and I, were good friends, always razzing each
other, and pulling each others chain <G>), was there, along with
her husband, and both of her kids danced as well. Being single, I
was looking for a dance partner, and I walked up to her, and
asked "Are you looking for a man??". I should have added the
words "to dance with". She grinned wryly, looked at me, winked,
and said "Always!!". I blushed big time!! :P
She used to work in local ER's, and always razzed me that "if
you don't use a certain part of your body, it'll fall off" (you
can guess what she was referring to <G>). Boy, I've got news for
her <EG>. However (this may be TMI), when I asked about "a small
member", the doctor said "that's because you have a fat belly!!".
Talk about a punch to the gut...but I said "I have to have a shed
for my tool!!" :P
I'm also reminded of the joke where Momma is potty training her
young daughter, and telling her "always look for the longer
name...WOMEN versus MEN...on the restroom door".
This was 60
years ago, when you didn't have to worry about pedophiles, etc.
at the interstate highway rest stops.
As an aside, when you don't have to go potty, there are toilets
and restrooms everywhere. But, when you're in the middle of
nowhere, with not a toilet or tree to be had, nature calls (it
never fails!!).

All sounds perfectly logical!

Darn exceptions to the rule!
I don't know about "didn't have to worry about" but certainly seemed
not to be as great a concern then as now. Seemed to be more 'stranger danger': be wary of people you don't know.

Seems toilet facilities like to play hide and go seek.

Strangers were one thing...but it seems "the perverts are
everywhere".

Do you send out a potty posse party to find it?? :P

Everything is relative. Some people find it perfectly natural, satisfying, etc., to do something other people find weird if not disgusting. I'm not approving, just making a statement. (Personally I still find what I consider 'perverted' as disgusting.)

Tried to but they were too tired: all pooped out.
