Hi Daryl!
BM><Chuckle> Yes, and I do and don't care if it's sooner or later. Sort of
BM>prefer the later option as have plans but I don't have the choice. I do
BM>have choices in some things: I may not have the choice in having
BM><disease/syndrome> but I do have a choice in how to making myself more
BM>comfortable in spite of <d/s>.
DS> I'm reminded of The Far Side cartoon, where the elderly lady
DS> tells The Grim Reaper "Nice Hoodie". The caption: Flirting With
DS> Death. :P
<snicker> I think I've seen that one too. Reminds me: I used to get a
daily cartoon but it started sputtering -- irregular arrivals -- and
then nothing. Should see if I can find it again; I enjoyed those
quirkie outlooks.
BM>Agree health food is expensive. Don't necessarily have to go to the
BM>degree of planting an orange tree in the back yard in order to have the
BM>freshest of oranges or even buying organic oranges; scrubbing the outer
BM>peel mof 'regular' oranges may be healthiest compromise. ...That
BM>example may have come off better with a fruit with a more edible
BM>outside.
DS> There's a big stink now with workers of the Whole Health Food
DS> chains now, with the requirements for their workers.
Such as?
BM>Hopefully no more automotive expenses. Had a set of repairs on mine
BM>found at the replacement of the battery so should last several more
BM>years. The previous car also had some of those dashboard cracks; has to
BM>sit outside (no garage) so have the problem with the sunlight plus the
BM>heat.
DS> It may be the oil pressure sensor and not the pump. Either way,
DS> I told them to "inspect everything", as I don't want to have to
DS> take it back there any sooner than needed. The cars used to be
DS> built like tanks...now, if you sneeze, they crinkle up!! :P
Similar for electronics: "as long as the electic suppy stays below 124.7
volts this 0.20 watt resistor will be fine, Above the smoke gets let
out." Used to be the inside of the tube brightens a bit but that was
all. ...When I was growing up Dad had a tube-type receiver. One night
my Mother and I are smelling 'something hot' but can't locate. Music is playing
fine. Go in and out of the room; eventually come back in and
notice a glow inside the receiver's cabinet: 25W resistor about the size
of a cigarette is glowing red hot -- literally! Don't recall if the
tubes were also brighter than normal but music was normal.
BM>Yup, appears time to look inside. The "one year plus one day" for me
BM>will essentially mean I'll skip a year with my prostate exam. Some
BM>time back it got scheduled in December (probably to coincide with
BM>another appointment). Last one was December 13th. Huh: next one is
BM>also on December 13th.
DS> I prefer the females to do the stuff, even though nudity means
DS> nothing to the medical professionals. They've seen more breasts, genitalia,
DS> and buttocks, than the rest of us will ever see. But,
DS> that last time, I thought she was digging for gold, or looking to
DS> strike oil!! :P
As long as you don't feel a tugging sensation in your nose you're fine!
As for the female examiner and assistants, agree. My primary
urologist is a male and his physician assistant is female.

... As I let go of my feelings of guilt, I am in touch with my inner sociopath.
