Janis,
JK> I'm glad I thought earlier that life had "returned" to normal (whatever
JK> that is )... because now we have a more serious problem here but
JK> things look like they will work out... I hope.
Normal is a 6 letter word...just like work is a 4 letter word (guess I
need to go wash my mouth out, or clean the keyboard ).
JK> Yes, I see below that you surely do... :(
Things looked very bleak 3 weeks ago. At least I don't have to pay income
taxes on the annuity my brother and I got after our Mom's death in August,
2019. But, that money has gone to pay other critical bills.
JK> I hope so, Daryl!
I do, too. The hobbies weren't even a diversion anymore.

JK> I would have said "bumper crop of a--holes" lol There seem to be a

JK> session now so that makes sense...
We have those on the roads here, potholes or otherwise. Folks are
farding (putting on makeup ) while driving (that IS the defintion of
it )...or texting while driving. They have a deal now where if it's
determined you were texting while driving, and caused a wreck, you will
pay, big time, in more ways than one.
Some would also say eating and drinking while driving is distracting.
Along that line, I don't drink and drive, but I swig at stoplights.
JK> I'm due for the 2nd next week, Ron got his 2nd already. We won't be
JK> doing any traveling for obvious reasons.. not yet.
As long as I don't have any reactions to the second one, I'll be happy.
Some say it depends on one's age, and other medical conditions (I have at
least 40 of them), whether or not you have a reaction. But, a large amount
of people in Arkansas are taking the first shot, but skipping the second
one. I'd rather be 90% protected than 80% protected. Besides, the new shot
for the Shingles vaccine required 2 doses 3 weeks apart.
As a side note, if you've ever had the chicken pox, you have the shingles
virus inside of you...and it's very painful if you get it. But, it reminds
me of a cute joke. I may have posted this before, but it's still cute.
This guy goes into this clinic and is asked what he needs to see the
doctor. When asked why, he says "I've got the shingles".
Well, no 2 hour wait in the waiting room for him...you'd think he was
having a cardiac arrest in the ER, and they were rushing him back there!!
And, no 30 minute wait for the doctor...he's in to see the patient in
record time. The exchange goes like this:
Doctor: What's wrong?
Patient: I have the shingles.
Doctor: How long have you had them?
Patient: Since this morning.
After looking him over, the doctor says he sees no evidence of such.
The patient replies "They're outside in the truck...where do you want
them??".
JK> Good luck with the plumbing stuff, no fun I know :(
At least I have a hole to go to. :P Since they had to tear out the
floors, sinks, cabinets, and doors...the tagline below takes on a
whole new meaning. :P
