Hi Dave,
DD> Other than that one instance - which may - or mat not 0 have been a
DD> side effect I've escaped pretty cleanly. We'll see what the scanner
DD> says when they check their work.
DD> Good advice for if, as and when.
Always good to get some input from someone who has gone thru the same
thing. It's not an identical experience but will give you a first hand
idea of what to expect. You had radiation light; I had the big guns. (G)
RH> I just don't want to read somewhere that you got done in by something
RH> that was easily remidiable by a bit of advance thinking. Knives make
RH> prep work easy but if you're slicing something up when tired, it's too
RH> easy to slice fresh meat at the same time.
DD> 8<----- XXXXX ----->8
RH> Steve saw the cut when he cleaned me off and saw that it was one that
RH> needed professional expertise to close it. I've seen the scar (in a
RH> mirror) and know it was for the better. The arm is still a bit weak as
RH> I found when trying to carry my purse and Steve's laptop bag on it
RH> while deplaning (right hand was dragging a roller bag) a couple of
RH> times. We had two flights out, two back, changing planes on the way out
RH> in LVNV and inbound in Phoenix, both familiar to us airports.
DD> That's why Amazon sells those collapsible roll along baskets. And why
DD> I bought a fold-up 2 wheel dolly at Harbor Freight that I keepin the
DD> boot of my Beemer. Lots easier to wheel stuff rather than carry it.
Steve was rolling my portable (somewhat smaller than the home unit but
still fair sized) oxygen concentrator and his roller bag with the CPAP
bag on top of the latter. I had my roller bag, purse and (a couple of
times,) the lap top. Normally my load would have been lighter but I'm
still regaining strength in the left arm. BTW, Southwest has different
snacks now, an oat and strawberry mini muffin, Ritz crackers & cheese,
Oreo cookies, Maui onion pretzel twists and almonds.
DD> I'd bet that Wegman's has a pick-up/delivery service similar to
DD> Hy-Vee's. I note that all but the "discount" grocers like Ruler Foods
DD> and Sav-A-Lot have begun offering the pick-up and/or delivery.
RH> I'm not 100% sure as we've not had the need to check it out. The store
RH> was being built in 2020-21 (the height of covid) so we were shopping
RH> elsewhere.
DD> And, as convenient as that is I still go, live and in-person to hand
DD> pick my fresh produce and/or meats.
DD> Now days, though, I use the "driveable" shopping carts. A great
DD> convenience especially in a Big Box store.
I used them when I had my knee replacement and when I broke my left
foot. Handy, but my dad never let my mom use it--didn't trust her
driving. (G)
RH> That's how we feel. We came home with some Hawaiian treats
(macadamia RH> nuts--dark and milk chocolate covered, garlic/onion and
Maui onion RH> flavored), some shrimp seasoning and multi purpose
seasoning. All old RH> favorites from when we lived there. Also given
some macadamia RH> nut/caramel and macadamia nut (other, don't recall
off the top of my RH> head) bars
DD> This will be tonight's supper using one of the U$3 rotisserie chickens
DD> I picked up last evening at th GFS store.
RH> Sounds good. We stopped for supper at a chain seafood place in Raleigh
RH> (first choice, non chain, was closed) last night; I brought about half
RH> of my mustard potato salad and 4 (of 8) broiled shrimp home. Potato
RH> salad was the best part of the meal as the shrimp were overdone and the
RH> cole slaw was a finely chopped cabbage and who knows what tasteless
RH> mix.
DD> I've not been to a Dead Lobster in years. If I'm doing "serious"
DD> seafood out - I generally hit up Chesapeake Seafood House.
DD> chesapeakeseafoodhouse.com
This was not RL; it was called The Mayflower. We'd been there before, a
few times, but found much better seafood elsewhere. Even RL is better.
