Post by: George on August 23, 2021, 01:01:26 AM: The only streaming service I have is Amazon Prime. The only show that I've watched (with ALL the options available to me) has been the sci-fi show, The Expanse, which I love. I've also read the first five books, which I've loved, and want to read the rest of the series. ;D

Title: Re: THE SURPRISINGLY SMOOTH STUMBLE-THROUGH
Post by: elmore3003 on August 23, 2021, 03:54:22 AM: It's been a very tough morning with the computer so far this morning, but it's old and cranky and there's barely any space left. To complicate things, I've discovered that my last LaCie hard drive is dead. I think it's a short in the power system, most likely caused when the last Spectrum maintenance man dropped it onto the floor while setting up my new modem and router.

Post by: elmore3003 on August 23, 2021, 04:01:10 AM: It's raining today, so I'm staying it. I need to print a couple of statements that need to be paid on the first along with the Philly Pops contract, a few scores, and address labels. It's supposed to be a sunny day tomorrow, so I will go to Staples then and photocopy the new scores for the copyist. On Thursday, since the colonoscopy will take up most of Wednesday, I will take everything to the post office and do a mailing.

ChasSmith, my personal fave right now is the Grape Raspberry. But I really do like almost all of them - lemonade, lemon lime are also very refreshing.

Those are next on my list to try, as is one called, I think, Cherry Limeade.

Speaking of which, I am on the lookout for anything that will faithfully recreate one of my favorite drinks in the whole wide world: the Cherry Lime Rickey at Dolores. I have the feeling it's something one might have to learn to make, oneself. Regardless...

Title: Re: THE SURPRISINGLY SMOOTH STUMBLE-THROUGH
Post by: Jeanne on August 23, 2021, 03:50:03 PM: I had my first Covid test today. I opted to do it "out of network," ie, with a private pharmacy rather than with Cedars. I arrived a few minutes early and a very nice pharmacy intern took me right away. In addition to being gentle with the nose swab she answered a number of questions. Apparently, there are 3 Covid tests, not just two: the PCR, which is the most reliable, a "rapid" Covid test, which is the same as the at-home test, and the antibody test, which tells you if you had Covid, but only in the last 3 months.

She assured me she would have the results tomorrow. The local chain drug stores cannot give that assurance -- they say up to 7 days.
Title: Re: THE SURPRISINGLY SMOOTH STUMBLE-THROUGH

I am glad you found a place you are comfortable with. I am sure I just got the 24 hour test. Did you opt to also find out if you have antibodies?

I am glad it didn't bother you as much as it bothered me, but then I do have some issues up there. My nerve endings seemed to be very sensitive.

I am glad it didn't bother you as much as it bothered me, but then I do have some issues up there. My nerve endings seemed to be very sensitive.

Jane, I did not have the antibody test. It's $100 at this pharmacy and if I've had Covid in the last 3 months I've been asymptomatic. I did feel a little wonky for a few days last fall and quarantined just to be sure, but too much time has passed for the test to pick that up.

From what I've been told, not all pharmacies give you the results the next day. Same test, different turnaround time. The pharmacy intern told me that they have to really work at it to have the results ready the next day.

My procedure is scheduled for Thursday.

Vibes for a smooth and uneventful endoscopy!

Post by: John G. on August 23, 2021, 07:53:43 PM: Mom is complaining that Linda hasn't spent time with her, and my sister, Annaliese, has started dragging her feet over things. I think she's the most sad about the house being sold.
