DS> I had mine done in March, then in May...apparently, it's 2 shots, 2 DS> months apart. But, I shouldn't need it again. Yup, it's two shots, 2-6 months apart... I got cold feet on it (partially due to cost) last fall, and by the time I was thinking about it again things shut down... NB>> And now, Wegmans has been able to put some of the tables and chairs NB>> back out so that people can eat there again... the self-serve buffets NB>> aren't back yet... that may be a while, sadly... DS> I don't think the self serve buffets will return for a long while. DS> The Golden Corral in North Little Rock has switched to "Cafeteria DS> Style"... it's still "All You Can Eat", but they serve you. I haven't DS> been out there since that change was made. Maybe sooner than you think... but I don't expect it soon, either... NB>> Some groups here do seem to be testing the limits, though... :) DS> Especially the kids, who think they're invincible. And are finding out that they aren't after all... NB>> And gives a little extra time before your next needed haircut... ;) DS> I need to call the lady who does my hair...it's not growing as fast DS> as my beard and moustache, but I can't stand for more than a minute in DS> front of the sink, stove, toilet, or in the shower...or my legs DS> spasm from the arthritis. Have to sit down to do things, I guess... :) NB>> As things open up, some are doing in-person again, others still prefer NB>> the tele-approach... my GI doctor has to take more time now in the NB>> mornings/afternoons for the procedures, so insread of office visits NB>> early (before the procedures start), he's doing either computer or NB>> phone visits... so my rescheduled appointment is now again rescheduled NB>> as a phone visit at 5 pm a couple weeks later... Nothing critical at NB>> the moment, just an on-going followup.... DS> My next colonoscopy is next April. I hope he lets me go back to the DS> citrate of magnesia and the Ducolax. That Go-Lytely was so tart that DS> it reacted violently with the stomach acid (it felt like my esophagus DS> was burning), so I couldn't finish it. Both of those are too harsh for my esophagus and stomach... What I've had the best results from is using Miralax dissolved in a sports drink... still can't do a full prep, but at least can get enough down to get cleaned out... ;) NB>> We survived lots of now somewhat unthinkable things back then... DS> And, we look back on that, and wonder how we did survive. Nah... Just realize that one can survive a lot more than some think... BM>> Yes, probably multiple births - stil makes my head BM>> spin! NB>> It is a head-spinner... ;) DS> That's like the joke of the couple who had been having great DS> difficulty having children. So, after prayer, they came to their pastor DS> late one evening. They told him that "Pastor, if you anoint us with DS> oil, lay hands on us, and pray over us, we feel that God will grant us DS> a baby". The preacher was comfortable with that (even at the late DS> hour), and he asked his wife to get the anointing oil. DS> Well, she couldn't find that, but she had 3 in 1 oil instead....so, DS> they figured that'd be "close enough". The couple was anointed, had DS> the laying on of hands, and prayer, and they went home. Nine months DS> later, the husband calls the preacher, telling him that his wife was DS> going to deliver triplets. The preacher sheepishly apologized, and DS> said "I wasn't expecting the 3 in 1 oil to work like that". The DS> new father replied "No worries, Pastor. We're just praising The Lord DS> that you didn't use WD-40". [groan] BM>> True on the helping and leaving. ...And so the children of your older BM>> brothers and sisters are about the age of the younger ones. Are we up BM>> to where one is their own uncle or aunt yet?! NB>> No, but with 35 kids, likely there would be some uncles/aunts that were NB>> younger than their nieces/nephews.... DS> Sounds like some of the things I've seen in the "You Might Be A DS> Redneck" door on the BBS. :P Overlapping generations isn't really a redneck thing at all... maybe some ethnicities might be more or less inclined to the large spreadout families that produce the overlap... But being your own aunt/uncle or grandpa might be more of a redneck thing... marrying within too close of a relationship, and/or the abundance of step-families and all... :) ttyl neb ....
