summers here. 4 bucks in the front yard and a bunch of turkeys, one with a single baby.
the mom chased a deer away when he got too close for her comfort.
Fawns frolicking about their mom’s at my place- one had twins. Also, about 2 million tourists frolicking along the coast. Complete madness, can’t go anywhere without being run over by cars, people, boats, RV’s, bikes, and etc. I stay home and work on my place. And watch my garden grow.
i get a shot of kenalog once a year dave. it takes care of 90% of it. even the doc i just went to for my ear says he gets one also. they work. and only cost ten bucks as the shot is out of patent.
Sorry to hear that Dave. Mine got so bad 3 summers ago I went for tests (allergic to everything but locust trees...sigh), then the regular shots. Worked wonders.
I still sneeze more than normal people, but it's not near-constant any more. Maybe every 3 hours or so. Haven't had to take decongestant or sprays since.
Usually, I can manage it fine by watching what I eat.
Although I'm not allergic to Tide, I'd guess breathing it straight in is generally not recommended. Psychologically, it's much worse because snot starts dripping into my lip, and heaven forbid I sneeze in public.
Laughing at the misfortunes of others is one of life’s greatest pleasures , so to cheer everyone up:-
I am going for a colonoscopy on Saturday.
The letter from the hospital genuinely contained the following line:-
“We hope your journey through the Endoscopy and treatment unit is a pleasant one.”
This is a review of the bowel prep drug:-
“Want to lose 13lbs in 2 days along with all your electrolytes, every single drop of water in your body, and your general will to live? If so try new Plenvu bowel prep, where are motto is "if you didn't have hemorrhoids before, you do now! Dose 1 comes in our great new mango, burned car tire, toilet bowl cleaner sludge flavor! Take it before bed to ensure you get zero sleep and wake up hating everyone and everything. If you survive the night you get rewarded with another dose at 4 a.m. This one comes in the only slightly less repulsive flavor of fruitpunch, saltwater, and enough Aspertame to give cancer to an entire 3rd world country! Side effects include pooping your brains out for days before, during and after your procedure, anal bleeding, severe muscle cramps, joint pain, headache, severe dehydration, and hoping you poop on the doctor who made you wait an hour and a half after your appointment time to begin your colonoscopy.”
After the bowel prep a Dr will stick a tube through my aching anus and wriggle a camera around in my intestines.
I have serious doubts about how pleasant this “Journey” will be.
I paid an independent repair company $600 to fix my computer. It's gone full sparky.
I'm still surprised that there was a ton of liquid in it. I have zero idea how it happened. The photos Genius Bar sent showed standing droplets, as you'd expect to see if someone had dumped water into it a few hours earlier. The problem is, there has been nothing dumped on it, and certainly not within the prior week or so.
I asked the repair person if there was actual liquid in it, and he said yeah there was. No standing liquid though. Apple had the computer for 4 days before they contacted me.
