Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

I found some VA land today I’m interested in. Waiting to hear back from agent. Told wife I wanted a small weekend cabin, but eventually move there. Only 5 minutes out of town, about 8 minutes to local hospital. Not many grocery stores though, just Kroger and food lion across town. Super Walmart on other side of town also.


Gas prices have me thinking too. Actually I’ve got some irons in the fire, had a good interview last week. Part of my retirement plan.
Will see what happens.

Owl hooting outside.

What county are you looking at, if you don't mind saying.

good morning all. Pretty yukky day, 38 out now, high of the day, temps lowering a little in rain and snow flurries most of day.

I'm headed to Costco this morning to get an audiology exam, hopefully hearing aids can help me.
My MIL told me her Aetna medicare supplement paid for her hearing aids.
I didn't think my BC/BS did.
I have such a problem hearing in restaurants I want the ones you can turn off the rear mikes and only use the front ones to hear
whoever is in front of me and not the din from the surrounding room. In theory...

Got the Burgess catalog in today, in addition to Burpee and Territorial.
Burgess seems to have some real bargains, anyone have experience using them?

Check, hope your wife's surgery goes really well today

The dentist canceled because of my knee replacement, said I have to be on antibodies before they could clean. They communicated with the surgeon, got me pills and rescheduled later this week.

Third strike on getting a new 2.5Ah EGO battery, 2 Lowe's and 1 Ace hardware out of stock. I have 2 more places to try locally.

Glad you mentioned your dentist appointment being cancelled. I have such an appointment in 2 weeks, just for routine cleaning, and that reminded me to check and see if she's still going to require that I take amoxicillin before, as she always has in the past.

20° right now...high in the upper 30's today...

UTI has alleviated somewhat and as some suggested, laid off the coffee and booze (except for beer, which seems to help, actually). I should be getting an antibiotic prescription filled today.
Still working from home for the next day.

When the wife had kidney stones, the doctor gave her a prescription pain med and told her to go home and chug a six pack of beer. Of course this was back when she was going to nursing school and a single mom.

I found this very encouraging, updated as of this morning:

Here are the companies pulling back from Russia

Dozens of the world's biggest companies have abandoned or scaled back their operations in Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine.

maybe one of those oligarchs will make Putin disappear...

I'm taking a sour cherry supplement every other morning, though if unsweetened sour cherry juice goes on sale, I try to stock up.
Good mixed in with other juice, pretty strong by itself. Had what I thought was gout once, never want that coming back for sure.

if your home lacks humidity during the winter with forced air heating, like I do, you
might find NASA's findings interesting. 2 weeks after low humidity, flu cases start to rise.
Flu and what else???

​

March 9, 2022
A new NASA study that looked at humidity levels versus weekly flu cases across the United States found a correlation between low humidity and flu outbreaks.

NASA Finds Each State Has Its Own Climatic Threshold for Flu Outbreaks

NASA satellite data illuminates a critical relationship between low humidity and the outbreak of flu in the U.S.

Just north of me some places will get 4 inches of snow today. March can be wild

Morning all, 39 going up only a bit and rainy/grey outside.
Finally got a solar light on the mailbox post and boss signed off that it looked good.
Faced it straight up to where the two house numbers hang.

Seems we have a delivery truck who turns around at the end of my shared road each morning and leaves tire tracks. Thinking how to convince them to stop that without getting into a pissing match.

Check-sorry to hear about the troubles and do hope the wife's arm heals quick. Ice is never fun except in a rink.

Drew I have used Burgess and don't anymore, don't remember why though.

Beer if brewed correctly does contain mild antibiotics - When they brewed egyptian beer from a recipe a few thousand years old, it was quite high in antibiotics (comparatively),

Stay safe and be well,

Above my front door this morning, is peace coming??
The company I work for shut down all offices in R. and stopped all business there a few days back.
