Subj : Other Ham Radio News To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Tue Nov 02 2021 07:21:00 Hi Daryl! BM> I hope they put it on some sort of track to move it back when the time BM> changes back! DS> They'll bring in movers from Stonybrook Farms. And Rebecca the Riveter?! BM> Here seems Davenport always had their Trick or Treat on the 30th while BM> Bettendorf had theirs on the 31st. (The two cities are next door to BM> each other.) So the Davenport kids would come over to the adjacent BM> neighbourhoods of Bettendorf and essentially Trick or Treat twice. I BM> would suppose some of the Bettendorf kids did too but never heard of BM> their plans while did of the Davenport kids. DS> I had the exterior lights off the last 2 nights. I thought DS> about printing a sign that said "NO CANDY DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES". If Trick or Treat was aimed at adults I might agree wih the sign but as to kids, no. For the past several years we have been "party poopers" when it comes to Trick or Treat mainly because was having too many 'old' Trick or Treaters allegedly collecting for a sick younger brother or sister. BM> I wonder if using some sort BM> of eye drop occasionaly through the day would reduce the 'film'? Or if BM> that's goign to do anything -- won't if the film is in the cornea as BM> opposed to on the surface. As for pricing, it's slightly expensive but BM> I'd consider a contact lens conditioner/rewetter -- the version made BM> for soft/extended wear contacts as opposed to the hard contacts. Might BM> be able to get a sample for free at your optometrist. DS> Sometimes, if the eyes water frequently, the "sleep" increases. Maybe rinsing out the gunk building up behind the eyeballs! DS> As for the film, it's building up internally. Wonder if you'll need corneal replacement surgery? BM> Got stuck in the dentures again?! DS> Too risque for the echo. :P BM> Food particles arranged to look like the lady on the truck mud flaps?! DS> Not quite. My weight is holding steady, but I seem to be on the DS> balanced diet...but getting more in the belly than in the bottom. :P I know that look! :( BM> Mmmmmmm: Kool-Aid! DS> I'm drinking the Kroger version of Lemonade...I can't stand DS> just plain water. I prefer to have my water cold so add ice. Have considered flavourings but pre-flavoured water is too expensive; haven't seen any 'flavouring kits' at Hy-Vee, though haven't look overly hard. Wandered Amazon a bit a while back -- potential. One of those lower on the needs ladder; got bumped down a rung when I had to buy a new UPS -- was overcharging the batteries and breaking their seal. Then the 'Holidaze' coming up; don't go wild on presents fortunately. BM> And I'm predicting other 'booster' shots will be needed, but not BM> because of the reduced antibody stuff but because of variants, just BM> like every year the flu shot has a different mixture. DS> I wish I could get it elsewhere besides the deltoid. Seems like you should be able to, but does the nurse? Gluteus medius, anyone!! Actually: Injection Site+ +Alternately, the anterolateral thigh can be used. A 1.5-inch needle may be used if administering vaccine in this site. Some experts recommend a 5/8-inch needle for men and women who weigh less 130 pounds. If used, skin must be stretched tightly (do not bunch subcutaneous tissue). https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/info-by-product/pfizer/downloads/s tanding-orders.pdf I'm thinking the upper arm is the site of choice because it's handy -- at a reasonable level with relation to the person giving the shot, plus isn't a 'revealing' site. ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
