I did get the large amount of trash and recycling out for pickup today.

12:40 am

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

sprite

the earlier the better, I guess, in weather like that

12:41 am

dcseain

I don't plan to retrieve the trash can I put out until about 20:00.

12:44 am

dcseain

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.

MollyL

Well, if there is a nerdery, this is the place for it

9:17 am

hokie carla

top row gray! howdy, nerds.

9:17 am

penquis

carla!

9:18 am

hokie carla

pen!

9:19 am

hokie carla

how goes it up in the cooler state of ME?

9:20 am

hokie carla

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

penquis

yup...

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...

9:48 am

hokie carla

bye pen. 110 left here. I got distracted.

9:52 am

MollyL

*Waiting for someone to complain about their rheumatiz

9:53 am

moolingwa

9:53 am

hokie carla

moooo is here just in time to complain about his

9:55 am

hokie carla

are you almost finished, moo?

9:58 am

moolingwa

nope, 69 left

9:58 am

hokie carla

63 here

10:00 am

BzznBea

Nothing like having to be at the DMV at 8:00 on a Monday morning.

10:00 am

hokie carla

ugh

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.

10:08 am

moolingwa

heh

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

well, I'm a little confused on the 2nd col P & T. only have 18 of each. where are these words?

10:21 am

listed for my last 2 - pa6 which I should have seen, and sc6 which I don't remember ever seeing before

hokie carla

I think it's possible I've seen the sc6 here before, but I definitely lucked into it today by just typing everything I could.

pretty sure hurshy has acorn tv already. there's an early prime day deal for 2 mos. for .99/mo.

2:54 pm

MollyL

Didn't Acorn used to be free? It's a really crappy streaming service to have to pay for

3:08 pm

hokie carla

it's never been free that I remember. I def don't want to pay 7.99/mo

3:09 pm

hokie carla
