Sunshine3601 Posted June 16 #123701 Share Posted June 16 I hope everyone is enjoying their Father's Day. Eric has been enjoying a day of R & R at the beach. Chris and Donna came down late last night (Donna had to work yesterday). I made everyone omelets and scrabbled eggs for breakfast then a nice bike ride before heading to the beach. Ocean is quite chilly 65F (common this time of year) but the weather was Perfect. We had an early dinner at Polly's Dock / Clam house https://pollysdock.square.site/menu-sheet We all enjoyed the Clam bake, oyster rockefeller and pan seared oysters. Then walked a block for Key Lime Pie at the Holiday Snack bar. Now enjoying a pitcher of Mojitos on the deck and will head up to the rooftop deck for the sunset. .Overall a Perfect Father's Day (per Eric) 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked her if she thought I had a little impetigo just inside my nose, and she answered with a "So, now you are diagnosing yourself, Maryann?" 🤬 It just so happened that I had a dermatology appointment the next day, and sure enough, I did have impetigo. (Our daughter had impetigo as a baby, so I pretty much knew what that looked like) I am definitely not in the medical profession to say for sure but I imagine that Doctors, PAs and Nurses hear all the time of patients self-diagnosing themselves or telling them what type of prescription they need based on a TV advertisement or the internet. That cannot make their jobs any easier but at the same time they need to listen to their patients and offer some compassion 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took a couple cars to the local Porsche dealership for coffee and cars this morning. We spent the afternoon relaxing and watching the Jays game, and we are leaving shortly for Owen’s ball game at 8:30. A nice little haul for Father’s Day. Batteries are charging for the Go Pro and a slice of pie might be missing. 😀 . It sounds like a great way to spend your Father's Day, Andrew! Nice stash you've got there. Good luck to Owen at tonight's game! BTW, is school over for Owen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted June 17 #123710 Share Posted June 17 Out for a different Father’s Day meal today. Our son wanted ramen, so we went out to a Japanese restaurant that specializes in ramen dishes. The chef has several of these in Tokyo and the Bay Area. This was mine. It was a special, and I don’t recall the name, but it just said Spicy in large letters. Not so spicy that you break out in a sweat, but it was good and too filling. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted June 17 #123711 Share Posted June 17 Susan and I went out for a long walk, to walk off some of that lunch. Saw this while we were out. I guess if you have some clean air, they have a place for you to park it. Also found a heron by the lake we walked to. 7 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need to increase my range of motion and it still aches from a nerve standpoint but is slowly improving. My other knee took over a year before I felt good and I’m only 8 months out. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Bill had a painful rash on his hip, I said call the doctor first thing and see if you can get acyclovir, you have Shingles. The doctor said your wife is a good diagnostician. If I know what it is, I am going to say or suggest what it is. I don't have a medical degree, but I do have a degree in biology, so I am not totally naive about human processes. ☺️ 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sea Dog Posted June 17 #123714 Share Posted June 17 Did something fun for Father’s Day. We went and attended a tasting with the Forbidden Rum Club a monthly tasting hosted by an outdoor Tiki Bar here in town. Each Month they have a tasting of a unique rum and a cocktail. The presentation was wonderful full of information, history and humor of the month’s featured rum. Today was a Brazilian rum called Novo Fogo, a Cachaca rum used in Caipirinha’s. Also besides tasting the spirit was an original cocktail made using this rum and printed out on a card you can keep and collect. We had a good time and the cocktail was excellent. A great way to spend this special day. Unfortunately Jonathan had to work but he is taking me out for sushi tomorrow which I will love. Cheers!. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky1987 Posted June 17 #123715 Share Posted June 17 3 hours ago, Ocean Boy said: Well, "that procedure" is the first step in having a prostate biopsy. It was pretty crazy. I got hit in the back during football practice and started feeling a lot of pain. Coach sent me to the locker room and my pee was blood red....literally. Went to the hospital and I can remember laying on the X-ray table and a nurse came in and turned me over, asking if I had ever had surgery. Whatever they did showed only one kidney. The "procedure" and a few other tests showed that I didn't even have a ureter or any kind of undeveloped kidney, just had the one. The one I have is about 50% larger than normal, so obviously compensated throughout my life. Have never had any issues, but it was obviously the end of my football "career". 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted June 17 #123717 Share Posted June 17 Went to our favorite restaurant again today ( normally closed on Sunday) listen to some great Sinatra music , ordered a Johnny Walker Gold which they stocked just for me, they hid the bottle until I had the first drink , wasn’t cheap but reasonable for a really good scotch . Wife had prime rib , I had filet mignon, washed it down with a bottle of Jordan Cabernet, then finished with a Hennessy cognac. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgmn Posted June 17 #123723 Share Posted June 17 21 hours ago, Arzeena said: Sue and Graham, are you particular about the taste of water for tea? For example, does water from south London taste any different than from central? There are definitely hard and soft water areas. Though I'm not really a connoisseur. I am quite fixed with my hot drinks. Cup of tea first thing, two cups of coffee with breakfast, and then just a herb tea at night. Maybe a hot chocolate mid afternoon if it's cold 🥶 Today finally it looks like summers here, the next couple of weeks are looking sunny and warm. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
