  1. Was that yesterday? I was at Mister's, which is also at Main and Hamlin then.
  2. If a doctor tells me to get a test, I will ask him "How soon?". Had to go through almost 6 months of testing before I was put on the trahsplant list. Went through EKG, CAT scan , any dental work I needed, x-rays, echocardiogram, angiogram, at least 80 vials of blood drawn (when I lost count), and probably other tests that I forgot about. This was just to get on the list. Afterward, I had a biopsy of the transplanted kidney. I have monthly blood draws and urine tests. They also have had me get another echo this year, a pulmonary test to make sure my lungs are OK, a visit to a dermatologist and coming up ,a colonoscopy (which I am scheduled for this year). This is because taking the anti-rejection meds can cause a slight increase in the chance of cancer. Glad they are on top of everything. I will do whatever they say and do it to the letter.They are also making sure I go to the dentist for cleanings (which is Thursday). All data is shared between my primary care MD, my cardiologist, my nephrologist and the transplant center at ECMC.
  3. The woman (wife) died, the man (husband) was taken to ECMC in critical condition and is still there.
  4. And Chuckie "Schmucky"Shumer infers that Trump firing the head of the Coast Guard had something to do with it.
  5. His physical must have been "He looks good to me". Your blood test for your yearly physical should include a PSA test especially for someone as important and old as the former POTUS. A friend had no symptoms (neither sexual or urinary) whatsoever . He had a PSA test as part of his yearlyvphysical and the results along with further tests showed he had stage 4 cancer but with no metatsticies. He had the robotic surgery done at Roswell and is now 8 years cancer free.
  6. I did't hear anything about that until your post.☹️ Someone didn't do their job. Should have known all the clearances along their route. When they were bringing two massive cargo cranes to the Port of Oakland, they had to time it with a hour to fit under the Bay Bridge. The ship had to sit for almost a day on one side of the bridge, wait for low tide and had about an hour to traverse under the bridge. There was someone on the top of the crane to check and the clearance was so close that he could touch one of the girders as it passed through.
  7. Well, that ship was definitely NOT a low rider.
  8. Probablydoing a Ramadan style "hunger strike". Do not eat when the sun is up but pig out after it sets.
  9. A band was playing YMCA for the POTUS in an arab country!
  10. You don't even need one whole kidney!😀 Had only one since I was 4 and I was scheduled to go on dialysis and got a transplant a month before dialysis was supposed to start.
  11. I don't know about you, but my retirement (503b- TIAA) is up ~4% since May 1!
  12. Remember that picture of Comey from several years back the he testified in Congress? Did he look like a same individual? Edited to add: The picture I was thinking of was Stzrok (sp?). Comey is just as slimy as he was. That was years ago,
  13. Raiders used to do training camp ay a motel in the Napa Valley as recently as 25 years ago. There was no public allowed. Someone I worked with was a neighbor of Gruden and their kids were in the same class. He invited them to the training camp and there were very few other guests there. They got to be in the hot tub with a couple of the D-lineen.
  14. Houghton Park on Cinton St. in Buffalo like one year in the 60s!

  20. Fridge. Most people would not be affected, but best not to chance food poisoning. Anyoe who has had it knows why. If you haven't you are very lucky.
  21. This morning, it had 4 threads a row about the same thing with different titles/ Sounds like spamming to me.
  22. I'm immune compromised (on anti-rejection meds after my kidney transplant) and I got the COVID booster and the flu shot about 7 months after my transplant under the direction of the transplant center. They said the dead vaccines are OK but avoid the live ones. The Shingrix (shingles) one is live but I got it before\he transplant. I've gotten parainfluenza twice and a cold around New Years but I contacted them and they advised me on what to do and to keep them informed and all three were mild.
