dcseain
The UK Government paid a differential for service in a tropical environment when stationed to Washington, DC until July of 1976, when they installed air conditioning in the Embassy of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It's a beautiful Georgian building in the Embassies Compound.
12:41 am

the earlier the better, I guess, in weather like that
12:41 am

I don't plan to retrieve the trash can I put out until about 20:00.
12:44 am
dcseain
it'll be cooler next week, happily, only about 32C, as used to be typical Summer here. It's gotten a lot hotter last several years.
12:45 am

here things are unsettled. Some very hot days and periods, some rather cold, lots of storms and rain
12:46 am
dcseain
we finally got some rain here Wednesday and Thursday, and more expected last week. The ground no longer looks dry, and happily never got to the dry and cracked stage. We should be out of drought advsiory soon.

2:30 am
dofith
hey Rose, if you're still here - my GP practice does telephone consults; I have multiple meds and am often caught out by forgetting to renew one or other. It's all in my notes - would be so in any well run clinic - so any Dr can do an escript. Try that with yours.

and why can you tag something again but you can't tap something again?
9:20 am
penquis
fine, thanks....76 here....not supposed to hit 80 here, but inland it's going to be a lot hotter, i think....
9:20 am
hokie carla
first col gray!
9:22 am
hokie carla
82 here right now, supposed to be 95 later
9:22 am
hokie carla
and I'm assuming a heat index higher than 95.
9:23 am
penquis
right now it's 76 and my watch says it feels like 76...a little humid though....
9:25 am
hokie carla
I managed to pull a muscle playing tennis on Fri so taking some time off
9:25 am
penquis
bummer....i am going to hit some balls tomorrow with a few friends....haven't hit a tennis ball since mid December...
9:26 am
hokie carla
wow. was it your knee? I rem. you had something going on.
9:26 am
penquis
soleus muscle (part of calf)...and then my knee cap went off its groove in my other leg for no apparent reason...
9:27 am
penquis
almost done with PT that I started in March....
9:27 am
hokie carla
probably was favoring the other leg and your knee rebelled. hope the PT is helping!
9:29 am
MollyL
Aw, a non-groovy knee cap
9:29 am
hokie carla
groovy, man
9:30 am
penquis
PT has helped....the knee is almost completely recovered....will play with a knee brace....the soleus has been very slow to improve...
9:32 am
hokie carla
I pulled a calf in my 30s and it took forever to heal. my current problem is lower ab. I read online 2-4 weeks is possible but I'm assuming that's for young people in much better shape. hoping it's just strained and not an actual pulled muscle.
9:34 am
penquis
well give yourself more time to heal...i am sure my soleus problem is worse because of my age...still don't feel stable enough to go down stairs with alternating feet...
9:36 am
hokie carla
lol, I was going down some stairs the other day and realized I couldn't alternate.
9:37 am
penquis
was that due to your strained muscle?
9:42 am
mael
FW! sorry to hear about all the body troubles :(
9:43 am
penquis
thanks...and congrats...
9:47 am
hokie carla
no, that was before then. I don't know why I was doing it, but it was also my lead leg in hurdling, so it may be a mental thing.
9:47 am
hokie carla
well done, mael, and thanks. this is what you have to look forward to when you get old.
9:48 am
penquis
perhaps...well i am stalled at 40....taking a break...bye for now...

Nothing like having to be at the DMV at 8:00 on a Monday morning.
10:01 am
hokie carla
did you at least get it done this time?
10:01 am
BzznBea
Even with an appointment.
10:01 am
hokie carla
I have waited in line before 8 with both my kids
10:01 am
BzznBea
Yes. But I'm not sure if I got a REAL ID.
10:01 am
hokie carla
oh no
10:02 am
moolingwa
I've dealt with DMV in I think 5 different states now, definitely prefer my experience in Colorado
10:02 am
BzznBea
They did ask if I was registered to vote at this address.
10:03 am
hokie carla
well they keep pushing the date back, what's the current year for REALID required?
10:03 am
BzznBea
2025, I think.
10:03 am
BzznBea
And once you get a REALID, do you get it everytime you renew from then on?
10:04 am
hokie carla
I have dealt with VA, NC, & SC. SC is great. VA wasn't bad but that was in my small town and there might've been one other person in there.
10:04 am
hokie carla
I believe so, bea.
10:05 am
moolingwa
CA, IL, PA, FL and CO for me...I don't think I dealt with them in NY...think I'd remember that
10:06 am
hokie carla
I once had a legendary DL pic in NC because you could see the rage in my eyes from dealing with them.
10:09 am
MollyL
Use it as your cover photo when you try out for the lead in Wicked.
10:11 am
BzznBea
I'm going to use the one they took today to start the convo with eye dr about a lid lift on my left eye.
10:12 am
hokie carla
historically, I am very unphotogenic, but I got the best DL pic ever and looked amazing, and then I got home and noticed they had put a glasses restriction on there, and I didn't even have glasses, so then I had to go back and wait again and I had assumed they would just use that pic since if you renew online they just use the last one taken.so, I had my hair thrown up in a ponytail, no makeup. but no, those pics hadn't made it onto the database in raleigh yet, so they took a new one.
10:12 am
BzznBea
That eye was completely closed in the picture.
10:12 am
hokie carla
oh no
10:13 am
BzznBea
It's been droopy all my life. But age has made it worse.
10:14 am
hokie carla
I think it's a fact that everyone has one droopier eye than the other, but they def. get worse. my mom had a dr tell her years ago they could fix hers since they were like drooping down blocking her sight.
10:15 am
BzznBea
Mine does. A lot of times, I find I'm only lokking out of my right eye because my left is closed.
10:16 am
hokie carla
sounds like you should definitely get that fixed
10:18 am
hokie carla
