NB>> I get that White Coat Syndrome a lot, too... I've taken to calling it NB>> Medical Building Syndrome, since some buildings (whichever doctor NB>> office I'm in) seem to be more likely to trigger it than others...

Literally a half-hour later at another doctor - back down BM> to normal. Some people are better at hearing through the stethoscope than others are... and the automatic ones can be very inaccurate as well... NB>>>> closing down the massage therapy offices here has been more of an NB>>>> issue for me... it's been a weekly therapy for pain control for many NB>>>> years now... and my body is really getting unhappy without it...

I had a disappointment... my therapist called middle of last week, was ready to schedule again, and we were all scheduled for Saturday, when she had to cancel out after all... Turns out she didn't have the go-ahead yet for opening the office.... So now I'm back to waiting still... sigh....

OTOH should the rate be increased slightly we're still on BM>> the better side of the equation. NB>> After we had our fire, the insurance company cancelled us when it came NB>> time to renew....

With yours being clearly a weather-related incident, no fault at all of yours, even by a long stretch, I'd not expect any adverse consequences, actually... :) NB>>>>> ...

NB>>> I snagged it from one of the tagline producers in our COOKING echo... NB>>> I think we all are becoming tired of being a part of this... :) BM>> Yes, especially some groups. I don't think they know the seriousness BM>> of the possibility of a repeat. I'm part of the group not into flu BM>> shots but might be swayed if next season's shot included something for BM>> COVID-19. And even if I had a shot still would be practicing caution BM>> -- quite sure people who have had the flu shot don't go around getting BM>> big wet sloppy kisses from people with colds! NB>> I regularly do get my flu shots, and I'm planning to get the COVID-19 NB>> vaccine when it comes out... But yes, one still should be avoiding NB>> reckless behaviour, as always... :) BM> Right; just now is sort of a very-intense version of what probably BM> should have been happening all along. The closer people get to each BM> other the more likely something will be transferred; hand washing BM> should always have been observed. Cleaning the plastic-covered menu BM> should have been done, as well as the hand rails (I've experienced BM> slightly groddy bannisters just because I nee a bit of steadying while BM> going up or down stairs), etc., etc. Yup, I'm a regular user of handrails going up or down stairs, too... always nicer when they've been kept clean... ttyl neb ....
