When we were on Symphony last year they offered fish n chips. With the mask on and foreign accent, I did not hear the waiter explaining there was a fish shortage and they had to do a fish substitute. I don't remember what the substitute was but it wasn't the same. Happy you got a good one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also occurred to me that Serena Williams is playing in the US Open at 7:00 PM in prime time. There are more viewers and maybe charge more for the commercials . She is also playing every other day . Is it favoritisms or good marketing ? Anyhow, she and her sister lost their doubles match , tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB&J is my 2nd favorite peanut butter sandwich, right after peanut butter & apple butter on lightly toasted white bread. Or rye bread. Or English Muffin. 🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coralc Posted September 2, 2022 #69862 Share Posted September 2, 2022 We are back from the other house. Bobby the cat seems to think that there should be some way to get him from point A to B without a car ride. He was very unhappy but settled in now. The trip was a success! The garage is cleaned out, so we can resume filling it up again with house stuff. Roto Rooter has cleaned the main drain. Although the trash and tree hauler seems to think it is a septic tank/leach field issue and not a pipe issue. We know nothing about septic tanks. And I am so disappointed! All of our local Arby's have closed, so we stopped at the one that is about an hour away (on the way home). I always look forward to their sandwiches after the long drive. And they didn't ask, and we forgot to request Horsey Sauce! And then we found out we didn't have any at home. This was such a tiring trip; it was over a !00 F. every day. No AC and moving furniture and boxes. Oh well we will deal with it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted September 2, 2022 #69863 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Oh yes! When I was cleaning out stuff, I found a couple of stickers entitled, "Be Bear Aware!". Number 2 was dispose of all garbage properly. I went over and applied one to the top of the AirBnB house garbage can. It was still on the lid. I don't know if it was the owner or who, but he looked ticked off at US, when he drove off yesterday afternoon, while the cleaners were there. @ReneeFLL That was a wonderful suggestion about photos. But I forgot to take any. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why it wouldn't be a heads up when we set up Specialty restaurants that they would think it through. Maybe they think it's possible I might eat at both. 🤔 The few times I had the UDP I changed from early to MTD 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare brillohead Posted September 2, 2022 #69868 Share Posted September 2, 2022 9 hours ago, Sea Dog said: So I just took a COVID test and it was negative but I got some weird stuff going on. Yesterday and today after my workout I started feeling dizzy and lightheaded with some vertigo issues. All today I’ve had a headache and felt really really tired. I took my blood pressure thinking maybe my blood pressure meds need to be amended as I’ve lost a lot of weight but it was in an acceptable range. Tonight I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some Kraft Mac-n-cheese and it tasted funky. So I’m going to bed early tonight and take another COVID test tomorrow. This is really weird. Anyone else have issues of dizziness before testing positive? My headache was my big COVID symptom. Now that I think about it, my symptoms might have started on Tuesday, but I brushed it off as an allergy headache because pollen counts shot up here this week. I also slept most of Tuesday, coming off a run of overnight shifts and a four-hour drive home, so if I had symptoms, I was asleep for them most of the time. But on Wednesday, I had body aches (probably a fever, but didn't check it because it wasn't severe) and a headache that would not stop.... normally my allergy headache will respond to Sudafed and Aleve, but literally nothing touched this headache on Wednesday. That was my clue to test for COVID, and that second line showed up dang near instantly. Wednesday consisted of copious amounts of Sudafed and Aleve (fortunately I have very healthy kidneys, because I was pounding down those NSAIDs like they were going out of style) with almost constant sleep (sleep being the only reprieve from the headache). Thursday consisted of a couple of naps and just a mild headache and no body aches. It's now early Friday morning and I'm not feeling like I'll need any naps. I do have a very mild headache, but it's honestly not noticeable enough that I'll even take anything for it. With allergies that went undiagnosed for over half my life, I'm used to living with a daily headache. As for your symptoms, Greg, if they continue and you keep testing negative, I'd recommend taking your blood pressure sitting, and then take it again immediately upon standing. Your blood pressure may be in the normal range when sitting, but when you stand, gravity takes over and pulls the blood down away from your brain, and if your baroreceptors don't respond quickly enough, your heart and blood vessels don't counteract the pull of gravity. If this happens, this is something you need to discuss with your doctor to tweak your meds (maybe remove a beta blocker, if you're on one). Other things to be aware of while this is going on -- always get up in "stages"... swing your feet over the side of the bed and sit for a minute before standing. And anytime you stand up (from bed, the kitchen table, your car, recliner, whatever), don't walk away for a minute (so you can sit down if you feel woozy) or you may find yourself face-down in the middle of the floor. And avoid hot showers or baths -- they dilate the blood vessels (which is why the skin flushes when hot) and that lowers blood pressure -- or you may find yourself with a cracked cheekbone on the side of the tub. (And if it sounds like I'm speaking from experience, well, learn from my fail, okay?) I appreciate all the well-wishes during my COVID journey... looks like other than losing out on a week's pay, I'm getting off pretty easily. And @Sea Dog, please keep us posted on how you're doing. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that he's done "OK".... My son is not a big talker [just like his father], so I have to "settle" for one-word replies ☹️ I was amazed that the school decided on a white t-shirt as the uniform... WHITE??? When my sons were in primary school, they had dark colors t-shirts, and there were colors for boys and girls, which I thought a great idea, now, with the "unisex" names... And it's always the majority of mothers of girls who are very creative in naming their daughters with vastly predominantly "boys" names... So they have "Sharon" the girl, and "Sharon" the boy... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son's elementary school had white shirts.... WHY???? You could tell on the first day of school which kids had older siblings (and were wearing hand-me-down school shirts).... those kids were wearing much yellower shirts than the kids without older siblings. And by the end of the year, everyone was wearing dingy yellowed shirts. That was definitely a decision made by a man who doesn't do laundry! 3 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was even better than ones I had in LBI in June. Another good thing, I have not heard of any supply chain issues on this sailing.
