I get those calls, too (I signed up for it & gave my permission); I recently switched to blister packs for my regular pills, & get 4 weeks at a time, pickup or free delivery, my choice. I jusr called today to put two of them back into viuals instead, as they were so tiny, they get caught in the corners when the machine pinches the pockets closed. > My pharmacy shows up on the Caller ID on my smartphone...and then I > either get them that same day, or the next day, if I've already been out > on errands...especially if it's late in the day, and traffic is getting > heavy with rush hour.

Avocaton or vocation, give your all, & really try. . . It's just good practice & for the paid work, it's best practice. I do volunteer work to the same commitment level as paid. If I don't care enough to, then I just don't take it on & I stay home. . . Alone(well, not since marriage & kids), & bored. . . > With ham radio, we're prohibited with taking money for our services. > We basically provide communication out of the goodness of our hearts. > The one exception is if it's expenses related to preparing and conducting > license exams...then, we are allowed to be reimbursed for that. I found that out when I approached a former volunteer colleague (from provincial seniors games) to ask if my company coulduse his Ham skills in case the regular communications are out & he saisd by law he can only do third party radio for the government & healthcare bodies during a didsaster/crisis. Oh well, asked & answered. > I prefer the female ones myself. It doesn't matter to me if they see me > nude...you have got to be proactive on your health. Otherwise, you are sure > to be sorry.

I have no problem with whomever is assigned to provide nursing care, unless they deliberately cop feels of my personal bits, then I politely request a change. In one hospital I was in, the food was AWFUL(yeah, I know); so bad I wouldn't eat anything I didn't trust (like mystery meat in mystery sauce); the nurses (female) felt bad for me, & wshen I was walking at night, would share their ordered in food (chicken, fish, Chinese, Pizza) with me. > Long before COVID-19, I was hospitalized for several days.

Some call that a Sicilian Divorce. > Q: Should I have a baby after 35? > A: No, 35 children is enough. > I heard of one lady in Israel who had 69 -- I wonder if that's where that > deal came from?? Sounds plausible. . . Q: What's 6.9? A: Something fun ruined by a period. Q: What's 68? A: I'll owe you one Or in Bingo caller slang, "O69, dinner for two with a horrible view" > The joke is that in Bible times, if the woman burned the toast, the man > could seek a writ of divorce. Just a joke. People forget the Bible exemplified: a woman having final say, even if different from her father's on whom she marries & when. -a woman buying & selling real estate -women soldiers, spies, & national leaders(I'm speaking of Deborah, not Jezebel) -women & men being essentially equivalent ("Together, male & female created He them") -women attending higher education > Exactly.

Granted. I'm saying, if they MUST, then avoid the baby making. > Exactly. Nowadays, there are pre-nuptial agreements...and some of the > items can be quite bizarre. Yup, like Johnny Carson paying $42,000/month for dog food to his ex. I still don't get that much a YEAR for food AND shelter! & $75K/mo so she could buy gifts (isn't that HIM buying the gifts?) & more such nonsense that proved California judges can be off the wall at times. . . > If a turtle loses his shell, is he naked or homeless??

I heard it as "in the eyes of the beer holder" > ... Newspaper Headline: "4-H Girls Win Prizes for fat calves." Ain't nothing wrong with meaty legs! Q: What has got 8 legs and 1 eye? A: 2 chairs and a half of a fish. A pirate walks in a bar with a peg leg, a hook for a hand and an eyepatch The bar tender says “wow how’d you get that peg leg?” The pirate says one day I was out sailing and a shark jumped aboard and tore it clean off” next the bartender asks “and the hook? How’d you get that?” The pirate responds “well we were out whaling and one leapt out of the water and bit my hand clean off” the bartender then asks, “ok so what about the eyepatch??” The pirate responds “I was out walking on the deck of my ship when I looked up and a seagull shit right in my eye” the bartender is a bit confused and says “that made you lose your eye?” “No” says the pirate “it was my first day with the hook!” Q: Why was there a dead calf in the boot of a Germans car? A: It’s his spare veal Doctor: “You’ve damaged several muscles including your calf and your quad.” Patient: “Is that true, or are you just pulling my leg?” Q: Why did the hungry baby calf cross the road? A: To get to the udder side. [sic. redundancy isn't by me] My personal trainer said I should start doing calf raises. I can barely lift up my cat, let alone a baby cow. Q: What do you call a bovine who's had an abortion? A: de-calf-inated Your friend, <+]:{)} Cyberpope, Bishop of ROM --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757.2) .
