(My 9/11 thought was “surprised it didn’t happen before” which lost a few friends *shrug*). I hit boredom big time which is no surprise as retired just as it exploded. Still figuring out it that was good timing or not.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waited so long on the HA that I have to start from scratch with hearing test etc. My worry is all the appointments are in a teaching hospital and you are around a lot of people. So I’ll be a wuss 😜 and wait a while. I’ll just enjoy the larger tv I bought and closed captioning until then... 😛 Edited July 23, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of misinformation out there intended to give advantage to a certain political movement. I was told a month 1/2 before the Florida surge NOT to listen to what I heard on TV.and the politicians This is by a friend who is the leading ID doctors in Florida. A month 1/2 later and unfortunately having to sit outside a covid unit for 24 hours( twice) with a loved one waiting on results I personally saw what I was told a month and 1/2 earlier ( by the ID doctor) was true. I have homes in FL. and the North east, thought I was safer here...Oh well Edited July 23, 2020 by GUARDLING 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I need a new dental appliance for my teeth grinding. I’m sure I’ve been grinding them more than ever the last few months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure nothing is perfect especially with questions on how reliable the tests are. But have to use something to judge which direction this is going. On topic: yeah how can WGI/DCI get back if too many questions..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
