Senior citizen organizations here provide transportation for medical appointments every day except weekends and holidays. It's a free service but they encourage paying a small fee of $5-$10 to cover the volunteer's expense. |

And no shame on my part for not offering. I was out of town and dealing with a wife who was frantic about losing her sight. As soon as Megatron's procedure was completed I had to drive about an hour to get her home and settled.... face down 24 hours a day for 10 days. It was not the time to be running around another city and then sitting with an elderly stranger. |

Driving people around requires a livery license of some type, and then commercial insurance. I just looked up something regarding the Cancer Society driver volunteers and it advises people to tell their insurance companies that they are not being compensated. |

Your wife had a detached retina, of course you weren't going to volunteer to drive someone you met in a waiting room who needed cataract surgery. Jill |

You can't possibly drive with one > eye totally dilated. Dave's wife had a detached retina/retinal surgery. This woman in the waiting room (a stranger) had taken a BUS to get to and from her cataract surgery, she wasn't going to be driving. They wouldn't do the surgery even though she wasn't going to be driving. I think that sucks. It's not Dave's problem, though. A detached retina requires extensive home care. As he stated, face down 24/7 for 10 days. He needed to be at home with her, not driving someone else to and from appointments. Jill |

That doesn't make sense. You're just looking at the strict definition. I use it a bit more flexibly. I've taken normal flu season precautions for years. Mainly grab 2 alcohol hand wipes when I first go into the store. First one for my hands then the handle of the cart. After loading groceries into the car, I'll use the 2nd one to wipe hands again. Also not touching eyes unless my hands have been washed. This year, they added mandatory masks (still in effect). Plus the mandatory social distancing. I take normal precautions then just don't worry about it. That's my version of "c'est la vie" |

I'm now working on a year thing. It's been 9 months now since my last haircut. Normally, I'll get a short "regular" haircut. That's what they call it. It's good and I like it for 4 months easily. At that time, I start "thinking" about another haircut but not urgent so I always put it off another month or two. This past year, just as I put it off until the 6-month time, the virus mess started so still no haircut since early last September. arrgghh. |

After the Memorial Day weekend crowds, many businesses starting to open up again, plus all the mass protests - by end of June we should get a good idea about all this. I'll continue to play it safe until then. No big deal, really. |

Nicer than waiting inside. I was watching mama sea gull on the roof with 2 babies, then it started to rain and did they ever want under her wings, it was hilarious, she looks like she has had enough of these two wanting to stay in the basement :) |

Some are hard to pin down to a date and time and then her sister inevitably tries to get the date changed after everyone else has confirmed. |

The very first time my store had many missing things, I walked down each aisle to see what was gone. The bottled water and soda section was completely cleaned out. I wasn't surprised at the water but no sodas was interesting. This is one LONG aisle too. |

Open a fresh oyster, coat it in a medium tempora batter and deep fry until browned...very little time. No need for that red sauce on top either. The meal looked good though. Q: what was that little orange tidbit inbetween the oysters? |

I thought sure I'd posted the ingredients, but apparently the post failed to make it. whole grain wheat flour, malted barley flour, isolated soy protein, salt, whole grain barley flour, malt extract and dried yeast.

It's a simile. It's _like_ a mouthful of ocean. It isn't a mouthful of ocean. Here's one food writer on the flavor of oysters: Some of the more common flavors you may taste in an oyster are butter/cream, hints of melon or cucumber, sweet, salty or "briny," and a rusty, copper taste. Here's an unexpectedly long article about the flavor of oysters: <https://www.chowhound.com/food-news/54106/what-do-oysters-taste-like-oyster-flavor-guide/> Cindy Hamilton |
