What a perfect time to go shopping!

My wife continues to have no problem making video calls with her friends and family using Whatsapp. She chatted with her sister this week.

Seems you're just an old hippie I like the way Mama TB thinks. Ah, you know me too well.

Wife got this Russian tortoise from a breeder here in FL. He(?) is fairly small, a little less than 2 inches in diameter. I'm doing some research and learning as much as I can. This little one burrows and hides away during the day but after work we get him out in the sun and warmth and he comes around. Loves spring mix salad and dark green romaine lettuce. He has small pellets of food but doesn't show any interest in that.

We are ....you guessed it, down in the Keys again. Holiday weekend coming up so we took off early and are not going back to work until Tuesday the 9th! We are so over this thing called "work" and we just don't give a damn about our patients anymore. OK, that was a little harsh, but we are just about ready to end this part of our life. Will be done just prior to the end of this year and then we are officially "old farts". Even more funny, on the way down yesterday we stopped at a McDonald's to let the dogs out and pee. Decided to eat and ordered a chicken value meal and a wrap. Wife and I shared the fries and the one drink. The bill for the two of us came to just over $8. I told her we are getting to be just like all the other old folks in Florida. Wife said she wouldn't sit with me if I ordered a senior coffee. The SUV was packed to the gills. Besides the usual supplies and cooler, had the two dogs and a large dresser for the bedroom. Also had to find room for a new temporary addition. A tortoise! Wife bought that to give to her grandson for his birthday. I guess that's better than the cat she was originally planning to give. I'm going to have to seek help from @Ontarkie on proper care of a tortoise. It's a very young Russian Dwarf tortoise. Hopefully the family will take decent care of him.

The wife and I started the K-1 visa process in 2005....and are still together. 20th wedding anniversary will be in June.

Oh no. I'm going to have to find a new way of getting online.

Hope you are stopping by Walmart since you will be up.

From what I could see using my selfie stick I'm squeaky clean. Unfortunately still waiting for the cell phone to re-emerge. I'll have to advise against using the Chinese DIY colonoscopy kit available on Temu.

Sounds like this is exactly what you need to restock your casa

Had my squamous cell carcinoma removed today. She got it all with the first cutting. Tomorrow morning I begin the prep for the colonoscopy. Clear fluids, broth, or Jello. Made me wonder if Jello shots are ok too?

Glad to hear that! Can't help you with that as we are (small) dog people, but... Do you know what they call a pile of cats? A meowtain.

Isn't that a nagging wife?

Yes, I have observed that the less expensive Colgate formula toothpastes generally come from Mexico. I've used Oral B Glide floss picks for years and have noticed recently their poor quality. Breaking and shredding. Looked at the bag and sure enough, made in China. I've been giving out Oral B toothbrushes and Crest toothpaste and small sample packs of Glide floss at the office. I assumed it was all made in the USA. They even imprint them with my name and phone number. Guess I had better take another look. Edit: Just ran off to check since I had a few new in packaging Oral B toothbrushes here at home and it does say in bold lettering "made in the USA*" *with US and imported parts

I just don't give a rant.

Ah, another problem I have started to have. Caffeine is starting to give me heart palpitations. I don't drink coffee during the week, but I do have a couple of cups each day Friday thru Sunday. By Monday the ticker is going crazy. The last two days I noticed it more than ever. My wife checked my pulse and got very nervous when she noted that every fourth beat was "missing". Guess that's just a result of PVC's but not having any dizziness or chest pains. I will mention this to my Dr next month at my physical. I'm really going to miss that morning jolt on the weekend. Should have just shot you in the bad hip with that Shingrix. Hey look over there at the homeless guy dumpster diving for coupons!

Well, as a matter of fact, they will be doing BOTH an endoscopy and colonoscopy for me. I'm just requesting they do the endoscopy first....

I'm having my colonoscopy next week. This will be my second one. Of course I'm dreading the prep too. Wife's first colonoscopy will be the week after mine. Last week was our dermatology appointments. The doctor says my wife has the best skin in town. Of course she does, she never goes out in the sun, at least not without sunscreen and being covered head to toe. She's even got a burkini (never even knew there was such a thing) for swimming in the Keys. Dermatologist hit me 5 times with the liquid nitrogen, and cut two areas. One area was OK, and the other was not...squamous cell carcinoma! Next week will not be fun. Tuesday is my pre-op appointment for the colonoscopy, Wednesday I have a large excision to remove what my be left of the squamous cell, and Friday is the colonoscopy. Later in the month will be the blood draw and visit with my primary. I'm hating August already.

What do you call a rabbit with fleas? Bugs Bunny

Good time for Walmarting... Don't get your hopes up. Liar liar pants on fire. Seems like driving to Mississippi would be way out of the way.

Can't say I was a big fan of his music, but I did find myself watching the family TV show. The interesting part for me was just trying to understand what Ozzy was saying.

Ozzy Osbourne, the gloomy, demon-invoking lead singer of the pioneering band Black Sabbath who became the throaty, growling voice — and drug-and-alcohol ravaged id — of heavy metal, died Tuesday, just weeks after his farewell show. He was 76.... https://apnews.com/article/ozzy-osbourne-dies-adff88b55f1d3b0bace5705d58d3cdde

OK, @TBoneTX, as you are mostly Texan you'll appreciate this. My son is full time National Guard in Jacksonville FL. A helicopter outfit. Last week they flew the helicopters out to California (Ft. Irwin) for their yearly training or jamboree or whatever. He took several pictures along the way and texted them to me. One great photo was captioned "UTEP and the border wall and Juarez. Well I do know what UTEP is, but I really had no idea where in the state El Paso was. Had to look it up on the map. Never realized it was on the border. And had no idea that's where the Sun Bowl was. Guess it was easy navigation from Jacksonville. Just follow I-10.

Thanks, I had already forgotten this. I do like the fact that I can get gas at 6:00 am even on the weekends!
