The Podiatrists I have now will do house calls. My wife has been trying to get me to a salon for a pedicure, but I have a personal space problem; touching is too close for me, especially if I don't know you. Doctors are different; you know they are aliens. We pay them to poke, prod, probe us. Yet we are afraid of space creatures; I don't get it.
I feel sorry for dentists poking around in my awful mouth, I have 2 teeth I should have had yeeted out months ago but putting it off, the abscess goes away for a bit so I wait longer.
Embarrassing story to share too, one tooth had a chunk break off and I swallowed it and next day it literally bit me on the bum going to the toilet.
It was revenge.
Because having an ear infection wasn't suffering enough, the doctor sent my prescription to the wrong pharmacy; they said that was the one in my history, but I think I've only been there once in my life and it wasn't for a prescription. The pharmacist also didn't seem to know how to read a name off of a driver's license, which doesn't inspire the utmost confidence. Then the pharmacist turned out not to take VA coverage, so I had to pay out of pocket. I usually get my prescriptions from the VA, but that wasn't an option for more reasons than usual, as I don't know if they'll even open up on Monday the way things are going.
Has any one heard from McGyver? with all the rain up in that area wondering if he's being affected .
I was worried myself. A bunch of cats in a bag is bad enough but if you swing them around then it gets pretty dangerous. And when daughters are involved then after a while you wonder if you're better off with acorns than real people because they're smarter. I don't think it's the rain.
McGyver is on the island, and from what I saw on the news tonight, they got clobbered, as did the airport at Laguardia. He may be occupied with disaster control. You know, these once in a hundred years storms seem to happening a lot lately!
A hundred years isn't what is used to be. "Time, it keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping..."
Complaint: I just read an article about the life of Ethel Merman, the singer & broadway star of the mid-20th century. Us old folks remember her, as a heavyset, grizzled, feisty, foul mouthed, no-nonsense great singer. But for just 11 days she was married to Ernest Borgnine, an equally heavyset, grizzled, foul mouthed, no-nonsense, great actor. Shortly after the marriage they each filed for divorce on the basis of "extreme cruelty".
I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall during that process.
hope McGyver OK
will be messy for his yard too, did he have a model railway or was that someone else?
(This Is A Joke MODS)Yes, they seem to come fast and furious Since we started keeping track only 143 years ago. (This is a Joke MODS) Geology shows this weather pattern.
I seem to remember him saying that he had one, but it fell into disrepair. I could be wrong about that, though. Maybe he just dismantled it.
I also have an issue with people touching me and personal space. There is a long-standing joke in my family that I was "The Amazing Unhuggable Baby". I did not want to be picked up or cuddled, not even by my parents. I rarely sought out physical contact, and then only briefly from a handful of individuals. As an adult, I have a low threshold, even with loved ones, sort of like a stereotypical cat
. Crowds drive me mad, and unless absolutely necessary, I avoid them like the plague. Maybe it's me, but it seems that when I was a child, people were much more respectful of personal space, and now they seem to have no issue getting up into other people's grills. Social distancing was great for me 
. I tolerate being touched by medical professionals only because it's a necessity.
...same here, along with only very close friends. I always hated being in crowds even when I was young as it always felt I was being crushed to death.
Makes riding transit and air travel (the latter particularly where passengers are literally crammed in like sardines today) an unnerving experience at times.
It's also why when I take a long distance overnight train trip I book a compartment even though its ridiculously expensive.
I have left concert front roll seats to sit in the field. The last concert was Incabus at Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre - St. Louis, MO. At least, that is what it is called now.
...complaint:
just received a notice that rent is going up at the beginning of next year. That will pretty much wipe out the meagre 3.2% Social Security Living cost adjustment I will get..
Really getting tired of the feeling it seems I'll get ahead even by a little bit. .So rent will remain at about 45% of my monthly income.

@ carrie58, WendyLuvsCatz, DanaTA, NylonGirl and anyone else whom I may be missing, thanks for the concern... I'm fine... yeah there was a lot of water falling, but thanks to the porosity of the sandy soil any flooding was temporary and drained away quickly... here... a lot of people I know who live on the north side of the island had flooded basements and streets... a friend of mine who lives in Port Washington lives at the bottom of a steep hill and right in front of his house he has a very picturesque little brook spanned by an equally picturesque little concrete bridge... yesterday that picturesque little brook was a raging white water rapids and his street a river...
Apparently me having the foresight to not have a million dollar home with a picturesque stream payed off, because my basement is dry.
I spent much of the day in the storm driving around on the North shore which was lots of fun... lots of flooding and river-like streets to enjoy, but it wasn't as bad as the hurricanes and nor'easters because there wasn't really any strong winds...
Besides being on the lookout for an escaped sea lion with a long criminal history... whom I definitely am not involved with in any way... I'm mostly fine... not counting going out of my freakin' mind lately... but that's an entirely different thing.

@McGyver Good to hear you and the family are okay,I remember general areas people are at ....... oops good you are mostly fine ,ummm have to ask if someone else is driving you out of your mind ?or are you behind the wheel yourself?
....good to see you are OK and have maintained your unique sense of humour through all of this..
Wheee..., McGyver's back.
I've got a friend on Parson's Blvd. in Queens who lives in a first-floor apartment who had had water problems in the past. I haven't heard from him yet. Last time it happened the entire floor had just been repaired from the previous flooding years earlier.
Not to mention all his personal stuff that had been water damaged.
Non-complaint: Deer in the yard: With the old "Wilson's Whirl-In" ice cream restaurant now demolished, removed, graded & seeded, I was able to watch three antlerless deer (momma, teen, & child?) come down from the woods at the top of the hill, across the open space visible from my kitchen window, to wait at the main road (2-lane), to pass when safe, and disappear toward the railroad tracks and woods at the bank of the creek beyond.
Complaint: I can hear my neighbor in the other half of the house when he yells. He yells frequently. Mostly at his child. He has an anger issue. Yeah, he's the one that caused the police to surround the house and make me leave my house while they enticed him to surrender for being obnoxious. Toxic machoism, and sov-chitery me thinks.
Nice hunky guy, Harley motorcycle, face tattoos, Mohawk hair cut. If I were 40 years younger I'd pick him up if I saw him in a gay bar, I actually like him a lot... until he goes off on one of his tirades.
What is it that makes people scream at other people repeatedly. Low self-esteem? Innate nastiness? Bad parenting?
...I rented a room in a house several years ago where the wife frequently screamed at the husband (who was actually a fairly mellow guy).
It would get so bad it rekindled memories of fights between my dad and mum causing me to hibernate in my room upstairs or when there was a momentary lull, get up and leave.
as long as they only yell
not great but my family only yelled, no physical violence,
Mum always said Dad always yelled acted tough especially driving until something went wrong like backing into someone's car then all meek please help me fix it Beryl
and she would have to deal with the other driver and insurance companies, she said he was all fart and no (word for poop)
Yeah, it's just yelling/screaming. I've never heard any sounds, or seen any evidence of violence. That's what I kept telling the bevy of policemen hiding behind their cars as they were trying to negotiate him to come out, that time he pissed off a couple of cops. But noooo.., they had to tease me out of my half of the house to talk to them and wouldn't let me back in for three hours. I knew it would come to nothing in the end. But he had to get taken away, although they let him go and he returned by about midnight. I have to admit though, that since that day a couple years ago, he hasn't gotten that agitated again. No yelling at cops, just children and women.
7Zip seems to do be doing a better job, but first attempt put all the files into their own folder.
Complaint: I love my Bullet. Sometimes, he gets caught up in the hunt, being a feral kitten when my wife and I adopted him. So he chased a squirrel. Over in the neighbor's yard just to one side of our lawn. Never goes any further than that. So I call him, and he doesn't respond; I go to get him, and he hisses, so I snap my fingers, which brings his attention, and he runs to our porch. Not this time, hisses again. I snap my fingers again, and he does it again. So I picked him up, and the loudest hiss I ever heard from him came out, and the little punk was purring at the same time.
aww lovely kitty
here's another pair
Complaint: The annual battle against invaders has started, last night I scored two and by the sound of it I got another one just a few minutes ago...
Too bad they have banned the most effective weapons in EU and now I have to lure the enemy combatants with chocolate.
I am guessing these are rodents and not your neighbors wanting free chocolate?
