If they were only 1,000 miles away they'd still be too far. The point
is that cataract surgery is an elective, not an emergency... anyone
opting for cataract surgery can easily afford car service. Call for
them to bring you and phone again for them to come and bring you home.
My wife drove me there but didn't need to wait nor could she enter the
hospital. A staff nurse phoned her after the surgery and she came to
bring me home. Otherwise she'd need to sit in her car in the parking
lot for some four hours on a hot day. Made a lot more sense for her
to drive a half hour to wait at home, with A/C, food, and a bathroom.
Were there no virus she could have waited in the hospital and had use
of all their facilities; lunchroom, bathroom, A/C, TV, even napped in
a comfy chair.

If they chose to move 2-3 thousand miles away from their mom they
could not have been raised to be kind caring children... moving that
far away it's pretty obvious that they wanted nothing to do with their
mother. Odds are they never remembered Mothers Day.

Because my mother doesn't drive, I only had to move 40 miles.

Dave was talking about surgery in Canada, you don't have to be wealthy
here to have cataracts done, it's free as usual.

So did I, just a bit later. I hated getting a haircut, looking at

Thousands of people in demonstrations, even if they're outside, and
then they go back home with a gift. So stupid and especially in other
countries than where it happened. Focus on your own problems and
demonstrate when it's safe to do so.

Before kids had toy guns they had toy swords. Or a stick that
they used as a sword or a gun.
 
So, what did you do as a kid? In addition to playing war and
cowboys and Indians, we played baseball, built forts, played
football, built model cars, rode our bikes. Just a ton of
stuff. Playing at guns was only a small part of it.

A lot of people seem hell bent on viewing the situation among black and
native Americans as being a direct result of racism and so many of their
problems as rooted in poverty. It is interesting to note the average
income if Americans by race. Whites are not at the top of the list. It
is not as if racists are terribly selective about their bigotry, do that
makes it difficult to explain why some non-whites do better than whites,
or why those from various countries do better or worse than those from
other countries in the same region.
 
 
Income and work ethic are major factors. People who see value in
education and who work hard and study hard tend to do much better than
others. Blacks and natives seem to reject "white values" as the values
of their oppressors, or just aren't willing to try because they assume
that prejudice is going to screw them anyway, so they don't even try.
 
 
 
 
Education is a major factor.

I did the car and bike things, also went out to a place under a big tree and spent many happy hours alone building a "Space City", my fave show at the time was the UK "Fireball XL-5" and they had a "Space City" in that show...at that time I was obsessed with three characters and would drive my classmates NUTZ doing imitations of them. These were Zoonie the Lazoon (the mischievious 'space pet' from XL-5), Edie Adams (Muriel Cigars ads}, and Phyllis Diller. (I was obsessed also with the shows 'The Outer Limits' and 'Burke's Law'):

"Space City Special
 
Air date
23 June 1963
 
"Space City Special is the 38th produced episode and the 35th Broadcast episode of the series Fireball XL5
 
Venus is returning to Space City aboard one of the new supersonic airliners with General Rossiter. Major Todd, the pilot, has been brainwashed by Subterrains and tries to crash the plane. Steve Zodiac and Professor Matic in Fireball Junior manage to talk Venus down, and she is able to land the airliner safely. Back at Space City, Steve is given his award as Astronaut of the Year and Venus and the Professor are given special awards for their bravery..."

Zoonie the Lazoon
 
https://gerryanderson.fandom.com/wiki/Zoonie
 
"Loonie the Lazoon is a character from the series Fireball XL5. He is the pet of Dr. Venus. Much like the name of his species implies, he is a very lazy creature and thus possesses little motivation to do anything. Given the opportunity however, he is known to fiddle with machinery he does not understand, which predictably leads to misfortune for those around him.
 
Like many Lazoons, Zoonie has empathetic abilities, such as sensing electromagnetic disturbance (See Last Of The Zanadus), and sensing the emotions of others (See The Sun Temple). In addition, Zoonie is also a mimic, able to imitate human speech as well as other creature noises (See Space Monster). Although he seems lazy and even idiotic at times, his intelligence has saved lives on more than one occasion..."
 
 
Edie Adams:
 
https://www.citizensvoice.com/arts-living/kingston-s-edie-adams-made-smoking-sexy-and-fashionable-in-the-50s-and-60s-1.1120305
 
"For more than a decade, Edie Adams appeared in magazine ads and television commercials as the pitch-lady for Muriel cigars. Clad in a sequined, low-cut dress, the blonde temptress taunted men with her scintillating come-on line, "Why don't you pick one up and smoke it sometime?" More popular was the commercial in which Adams pitched the 10-cent cigars by breathily singing, "Hey, big spender, spend a little dime with me."
 
At a time when consumerism was booming across the nation, the advertising industry persuaded Americans to purchase new products as a sign of status. Smoking was considered "sexy" and "fashionable," and the sensual Adams used television to propel her career as a singer, Broadway, television and film actress and comedienne..."
 
This is my fave ad, Edie plays triplets, "Edith, Editha and Edie"

And I LOVED Phyllis Diller, especially her cackling laff:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1DxitJzVrw
 
 
Phyllis Diller was a really GREAT lady:
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Diller
 
"...After moving to Alameda, California, Diller began working in broadcasting in 1952 at KROW radio in Oakland, California. In November of that year, she filmed several 15-minute segments for the Bay Area television series 'Phyllis Dillis, the Homely Friendmaker' — dressed in a housecoat to offer absurd "advice" to homemakers. Diller also worked as a copywriter at KSFO radio in San Francisco and a vocalist for a music-review TV show called Pop Club, hosted by Don Sherwood.
 
With the encouragement of her husband, Diller made her debut as a stand-up comedian at age 37 in the basement of the San Francisco North Beach club, The Purple Onion, on March 7, 1955. Up until then, she had only tried out her jokes for fellow PTA moms at nearby Edison Elementary School. Her first professional show was a success and the two-week booking stretched out to 89 consecutive weeks. Diller had found her calling and eventual financial success while her husband's business career failed. She explained, "I became a stand-up comedienne because I had a sit-down husband."
 
In a 1986 NPR interview, Diller said she had no idea what she was doing when she started playing clubs and in the beginning, she never saw another woman on the comedy circuit. With no female role models in a male-dominated industry, she initially used props and drew from her educational and work background as a basis for satire, spoofing classical music concerts and advice columns. She wrote her own material and kept a file cabinet full of her gags, honing her nightclub act. Sid Caesar, Milton Berle, and Jonathan Winters were early influences, but Diller developed a singular comedic persona — a surreal version of femininity. This absurd caricature with garish baggy dresses and gigantic, clownish hair made fun of her lack of sex appeal while brandishing a cigarette holder (with a wooden cigarette because she didn't smoke), punctuating the humor with a hearty cackle to show she was in on the joke. At the time, Diller said, "They had no idea what I was. It was like — 'Get a stick and kill it before it multiplies!'"

No, to defend myself against home intruders. A few years ago my house was burglarized while I was out for just an hour or two. They stole thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and abused my two small dogs. A few houses in town had home invasions while women were home alone and it got kind of scary. Although we own various shotguns, I figured a little .38 revolver would be easier for me to handle. New Hampshire has a very bad drug problem so I feel better knowing I'd have a fighting chance. I've got no beef with right wing knuckle draggers, they have a right to their beliefs, (even though they're wrong), but I wouldn't shoot one.

In the country we burned our trash in a 55 gallon barrel...I used to throw aerosol cans of hair spray, deo and such into the fire, then back away and watch it EXPLODE...once I set the adjacent cornfield on fire (was October and all left was dry corn stubble)...

Sometimes I eat them raw. On this occasion I put them
on the gas grill until the skin was blackened, then I
slipped the skin off, sliced them into strips, salted
them a little and covered them with olive oil. I
often put raw garlic in, but it was after dinner on a
work night so I skipped it.
 
When I had my salad made, I laid a pile of the roasted
pepper strips on top.
 
That's about it. My husband doesn't like peppers very much
(except hot ones), so I don't make much use of the sweet
ones.

Thank you. I love them raw and often slice them into fried rice, but I
have never roasted them.

It was unique in that there was no crunchy coating - just red chicken with a sticky sweet coating. Perhaps they were trying to make char siu chicken. Hopefully, they ditched that product.
