No big deal really but the thought of doing again just keeps me putting it off until I'm actually desperate for a haircut. This year, I waited until the last minute then the virus mess closed them down. There's a good example of the old saying, "Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today." |

Dave is correct: ------------------------------------------------------------ Re: Test Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2020 16:41:14 -0400 When we went in for my wife's retinal surgery there was an old lady there by herself. She had arrived by bus and was planning to go home by bus. She had no family other than a niece who works. They would not do the cataract surgery unless she had someone to drive her home. ------------------------------------------------------------- |

She had public transportation to drive her home, a lot safer than hitch hiking with a stranger picked up out of the blue. Even if you chose an aquaintance to drive you the hospital is not going to check them out. A public transportation driver has been investigated and is bonded. I don't imagine that the hospital would deny a public bus driver. |

It cost me nothing. Except for the extra monthly payment for the supplemental part. Don't say it costs you nothing. You pay approx $140 per month for Parts A & B. Actually just part B, I think. The supplemental insurance is at least that much more each month. Nothing is "free" |

Sheldon, yoose should have opted for the all new variable telescopic lenses installed. Comes with a phone app that would allow your new eyes to "Zoom in" in women with large breasts. You could spot a women at 100 yards and zoom in on her breasts just like you were right there in front of her. |

| Snag <snag_one@msn.com>: Jun 08 07:07AM -0500 Pepper , that is , out in my garden . If there were 3 more , I'd make stuffed peppers , but so far there's only one . So far it's been looking good out there , the 'maters are starting to bloom , the peppers too . The blue lake green beans are running now , some are up to 4 feet up the wire trellis and the corn , okra , and black beans are all starting to come up . Now i just have to stay on top of the weeds ... why is it that people go to great lengths to make the soil fertile so the veggies (or flowers) will grow well and are then surprised the weeds do too ? Oh , and the bees are doing well too , all 8 hives are still alive and all are sending out foragers . I need to check the 2 swarm hives , I'm not sure if both of them have laying queens . About that , I've been watching and there is a pair of Summer Tanagers that have been wearin' them out snatching bees out of the air - and queens are bigger and slower than workers , it's entirely possible for them to get eaten by birds during their mating flights . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crotchety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

We lay down weed-barrier cloth, cut holes for the veggie plants, no weeds. We leave the weed barrier cloth stapled down all winter too. The holes for veggie plants are just cut Xs... tuck under for planting. Lee Valley.com has the best heavy duty weed barrier cloth. Cover with bark nugget mulch to protect cloth from UV and wind. https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/garden/planting/tarps-and-covers/10350-weed-barrier-fabric |

We leave the weed barrier cloth stapled down all winter too. Why do you leave them down in winter? Don't you till your garden each spring? In a small garden like you have, so easy to go out and "weed" your garden each morning or two. I did that when I had a real garden. I enjoyed doing that and it was something enjoyable to do at dawn each day. |

I prefer to mulch with straw , cardboard , and other organic stuff that will decompose and enrich my soil . An added advantage of using cardboard around the tomatoes is that it prevents soil splash onto the lower leaves , a major cause of early blight . I'll bet you use chemical fertilizers too ... I use rabbit droppings and the (composted) hay/chicken shit from the chicken house . I WILL NOT USE CHEMICALS UNLESS IT'S ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY . And the ones I will use are the environmentally friendliest ones I can find . We're not "organic" , but about as close as it gets . Oh , and I grow only heirloom varieties , open pollinate , and save seeds . I got an overwhelming germination rate from the okra I planted with saved seed , did some major thinning this morning because they were just way too crowded to do well . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crotchety - and armed .

Two separate, equally enjoyable, activities. Alcohol dulls the senses and that varies with the person. Even 1-2 6oz glasses of wine can turn some tipsy. Others not so much but still dulls the senses. The more you drink, the better the food and wine tastes. Keep on drinking then you turn stupid on a graduating scale. I did a "designated driver" thing once with 3 friends. The most boring evening I've ever spent. Just watching them turn progressively stupid was ... highly annoying So funny when I see a many course meal and each course served with a different "compatible" wine. Everyone is so happy and pleased. Yeah, no kidding. LOL I feel that pairing wine or beer with a meal is just another excuse to drink. If the food is right, no need to "cleanse the pallet" and eliminate that good taste. |
