I remember the doorbell and the picture of the lipstick print... but anyway, they're all on the internet now... some who use is as 2ndary income bring the catalogs to leave in the ladies room at work but other than that, everything is at hand electronically... Ah, yes, I forget the river since the company is so prevalent here. Would love to see the river...

Hi Liz. Where exactly are you? I saw you commenting on the smoke when Noosa surrounds had fires a few weeks ago

Oh, jeez! I'm sorry, I don't follow much news (pretty much none) as it is always grievous. Will send up prayers for you all as well as those in our western states.

We do have our burn bans here occasionally but thankfully not fires (in mass). Thankfully our biggest threat is hurricanes/flooding. Not fun but generally don't affect everyone in a 3-400 mi radius as fires can and do, unexpectedly.

The problem is that there are two local nurses, "libérales", who come every day and they seem to be in competition with the Hospital at <Home, which I guess is mor prestigious.
5:03 am
rubyfoo
And then there's the oncologist who is in competition with the chief of the HAD (hospital etc.)
5:04 am
rubyfoo
It's great care, but I think they're used to demented old people and I may be crazy, but I'm not demented. LOL
