Either got bored with your other stuff or the taxes are BM> done! Neither one.... As I recall, those were sent out on Sunday... the first Sunday that services were cancelled except for the livestreaming... I listened to the service on the audio feed on my phone... but our usual busy Sunday was suddenly not busy at all... So I did take the time to do a few more messages... :) NB>>>> Our Wegmans pharmacy is generally open until 9pm Mon-Fri, they NB>>>> close at 6 Sat and Sun... They'll close earlier for some holidays... BM>>> That seems about the same hours as for the pharmacy at Hy-Vee (vague BM>>> recall of seeing their hours); LIS, earlier or later I'd check to be BM>>> sure. NB>>> Or just plan on arriving somewhere easily in the middle... :) BM>> That's the one I usually go by! Even if I arrive too early and the BM>> place hasn't opened yet will usually be open shortly. NB>> Usually there's no risk that we'd be arriving before they open... just NB>> that we might not get there before they close on a weekend evening... BM> Yes, the latter is a somewhat greater issue. At least by arriving BM> early you can wait or perhaps do a quick nearby errand. If closed for BM> the evening it's another trip. Exactly... But we generally aren't up early enough to be there before they open, anyway.... NB>>> Not sure what the original impetus was, but it's been like that for NB>>> ages... I think at one point he might have had Saturday morning hours NB>>> also, but that hasn't been for a long time, either, so I might be NB>>> just misremembering... ;) Not a morning person myself, so it NB>>> wouldn't have been much use to me anyway... ;) BM>> He could have had Saturday hours just to be open when his competing BM>> M.D.s were closed, help establish his practice. NB>> Possible.... or maybe it's the way the senior dentist did it when he NB>> started out, and it just made sense to him.... :) BM> That's possible too. Patients working during the weekdays, want to do BM> something on the weekend besides wait for the afternoon appointment - BM> Saturday morning it is! But, as I said, he doesn't do that anymore.... and for the time being, the office is totally shut down for at least a couple of weeks, due to the coronavirus concerns.... my hygenist appointment on Apr 1 was cancelled, to be rescheduled eventually... I'd not be surprised if they end up cancelling out another week or two of appointments, as I don't think we've quite reached peak yet.... BM>>>> Monograph also states "side effects ... bother you or do not go away". BM>>>> Well it's a bit of a bother to have diarrhea but did go away. I'm BM>>>> thinking was just a coincidence. NB>>>> Possibly coincidence, but not totally out of the possible time frame... NB>>>> lots of things could be triggering gastrointestinal stuff, though.... BM>>> Yes, I'm thinking probably a coincidence: not like I've never had BM>>> diarrhea before, Not other listed reactions noted other than BM>>> 'injection site tenderness' and that was only for two nights when I BM>>> slept on that side. ...Get to do it all over again end of April or so! NB>>> The injection site tenderness is the most common side effect of shots NB>>> for me, and generally not particularly badly.... You'll get a chance NB>>> with the second shot to see if you get the same reaction(s) again... of NB>>> course, sometimes the second time doesn't cause any issues at all.... BM>> True: a ton of variables: slightly different injection site, speed of BM>> injection (the added fluid 'shoves' what's already there aside), etc., BM>> etc., etc. NB>> True... and how your body happens to be doing that day, even... BM> Lots and lots and lots of tiny variables. ...Sort of like me seeing BM> the tiny green polka dots on my shirt as tan one day and the proper BM> colour the next. Yup.... and I'm going to wait now until the coronavirus issues are well died down, as I don't want to overtax my immune system by getting the vaccine while tamping down the virus... ;) BM>> ... Fencing: the sport that looks like two bee keepers dueling. NB>> I did a little fencing when I was in college... There is a lot of NB>> protective clothing one wears for the sport... ;) BM> Even with the rounded tip of the practice saber (right term?) with a BM> jab or slicing move it can still cut unprotected skin. Three different types of fencing swords... Foils (slender, with a rounded tip), Epees (more robust, and more like a sword in shape) and Sabers (much heavier)... The foils would probably only scratch at worst, though without a face mask, might poke out an eye... the others could do more damage... BM> Only fencing I did was to select the one in the back yard.
