    Was that an internal (silent) prayer or did he say this outloud?

    Bill

    From The OP’s sweet posts over the years, I know she would not condone someone praying out-loud for God to do something about a situation that the person felt uncomfortable asking the driver to do directly. I would think that would be an example of passive-aggressiveness, not an answered prayer. 

    OP, I’m so glad that the prayer was answered.

    Your post reminded me of something I read recently. “A precise prayer gives Christ the opportunity to remove all doubt about his love and interest. Your problem becomes his pathway. The challenge you face becomes a canvas upon which Christ can demonstrate his finest work. So offer a simple prayer and entrust the problem to Christ.” Max Lucado

    Haven't spoken to her about it yet. I just noticed it yesterday, and my next appointment is next week. 

    Is the neurologist the doctor that hasn’t given  you test results? (Or do I have you confused with a another poster? Or the neurologist with another doctor?)

    no matter what I hope your appointment goes well and you are able to get some answers to these issues.

    The garbage disposal thing will always irk me. We’re not getting one because of the septic. I know I’ve definitely heard people say that their septic has always been just fine with one, but that’s way too expensive a gamble for me. I’m already nervous about learning how efficient our new septic will be. Here, I know mine is just about the most reliable thing about my house, lol. It’s a champ! But every system on every property varies, so... 

    I grew up in a house with a garbage disposal and a septic tank. It was my parents first experience with that combo and they were nervous at first. They never had any issues. 
     

    We are a large family. We have lived in a house with septic and garbage disposal with absolutely no issues for a decade. We had the septic tank pumped twice in the time we have lived here. The second time was the summer and there was no mention of any issues due to anything we are doing inside the house. 
     

    My parents now have a vacation home where we stay with family and my siblings/family. That house is on septic and has no garbage disposal. We complain about it every time we are there.

    The only thing I know we do differently than folks not on septic is we don’t put egg shells down the garbage disposal. I have no idea wether that is a big deal or not; I just know that is what the builder told my family when he built my childhood home. I just thought it was a general garbage disposal thing until I asked my parents about it when I discovered my husband putting egg shells down the garbage disposal. (We we’re new homeowners in a house that did not have a garbage disposal.)

    I have lots of relatives, including my mom, that live between Slidell and Baton Rouge.  

    I know a lifelong Californian who just moved to Slidell. A hurricane would be an awful welcome to Louisiana.

    Actually, Im hopeful they haven’t moved in yet as my family member, who told me this a few weeks ago, sometimes gets the details/ times wrong.

  5. I live in the US. I had a colorguard test last year.  I don’t have a primary doctor and I simply ordered colorguard through its website.

    The results were sent to me via email (actually a link to see the results was sent.

     

     Here is what I received when I ordered the test. I’m guessing I may have spoken to someone when I ordered or that I had to answer questions online to make sure I was a good candidate. However, it has been a long year, and I don’t remember those details.

    It was always pointless and I think most Americans knew that, which is why getting out has polled so high for so long.  The problem is that most Americans are completely unreaslitic about what getting out would actually look like. There is no clean, tidy, safe-for-the-locals way to get out.  Getting out means leaving a place that has been plagued by religious extremism and all that goes with it for hundreds of years.  You cannot impose the needed cultural change away from religious extremism with a military victory, and you can't win militarily in Afghanistan. It's the ultimate sunk cost fallacy to continue to throw away future military lives in an unwinnable conflict. Are more service members supposed to die in the future because so many service members died in the past? 

    I agree with much of what you said about the history/challenges of the area.

    However, everything I’ve heard/read from servicemen who served there and families of servicemen who died in Afghanistan has showed disappointment that their service/death was a waste since Afghanistan was basically turned over to the enemy.

    I wonder if in ten years, Covid will show up in the Census numbers (through loss of people, employees, increase in disability etc.) or if ten years is so long that any changes will have evened out by then? 

    I sure hope that Covid will have no impact on the 2030 census numbers. 

  8. I have a relative who had some issues that were being investigated a few years ago. During that investigative stage, I ended up bringing the relative to the doctor when the primary relative was out of town. 
     

    The main doctor was out of town also, so the relative saw a new geriatrics doctor. He was convinced the relative had Parkinson’s. However, the relative insisted the main doctor felt it wasn’t that, and the new doctor was a bit pompous and dismissed the other doctor’s opinion . The doctor then went and read the relative’s MRI, which had been done sometime earlier but wasn’t in the record at this office.

    He came back with a completely different tune and agreed it could be normal pressure hydrocephalus. My relative was then seen by a neurosurgeon who agreed with this diagnosis. The neurosurgeon put in a shunt soon after that and the relative no longer had any of the symptoms that led the doctor to suspect Parkinson’s. My relative is still doing great at age 81.

  9. I’m so sorry the loss of health insurance and the job as well the craziness of needing to wait months to apply for this program.

    I have another suggestion for you, that hopefully should be premium free. One of the other pandemic changes allows unemployed to continue their employer insurances through Cobra for free through September, at least. 
     

    Here is the phone number and some info.

    193 Olympic participants have tested positive for COVID since the athletes started pre-arrival-journey testing. That's a positivity rate of about 1.25% so far, although it is much, much lower among the athletes (20 cases for around 10,000 athletes) than among the others (173 cases, including 2 in hospital, among 6000 or so people, which is... ...pretty worrying, come to think of it).

    Here is a website that updates Covid info for the Olympics each day. There have been 3 hospitalizations and none considered. The second quote explains the reason for the first hospitalization was completely precautionary..

    JULY 29: Pole vaulters Sam Kendricks of the United States and Argentina's German Chiaraviglio have been ruled out of the Olympics after testing positive for COVID-19. Twenty-four people tested positive for the virus, Tokyo organizers said. They also said two Olympic-related people from overseas with COVID-19 have been hospitalized but neither case is serious.

     JULY 16: A member of the Nigerian Olympics delegation tested positive at Narita airport, media reported. The person, in their 60s, has only light symptoms but was admitted to hospital because of their age and pre-existing conditions, TV Asahi says, adding it was the first COVID-19 hospitalisation of an Olympics-related visitor.

  11. You should be able to monitor online if Slinky Dog opens, and go back to Hollywood Studios tonight if slinky dog reopens. As long as you are in line at park closing, you will get to ride (barring a breakdown.)

    you could go back this evening after your pool time to ride other things as Hollywood Studios closes at 8.

     

  12. OP. Are you still looking for a hybrid? 
     

    I have a friend who bought a car from a business that only sells used hybrids and was pleased with the experience. It is in Florida, but my friend bought over the internet after looking at the car (inside and out) via a FaceTime call. The car was then shipped to the friend’s out of state house.

     

    Let me know if you want me to find out the name of the business.
