re: Kids' grandparents asking for medical consent for a few days of babysitting... thoughts?
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 3/25/24 at 2:57 pm
I’ve done it, but it had nothing to do with being sued. I didn’t want their treatment delayed if they needed it. Obviously would still contact my son for decision making, but there are plenty of places we’ve vacationed that had little to no cell coverage. This was almost 13 years ago…...
re: How do you feel about Nurse Practitioners?
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 3/21/24 at 10:22 am
I usually see NP for primary care, and she’s excellent. She actually reads my chart and the appointment notes entered by the nurse before she comes in the examining room. Super thorough and very easy to talk to. The NPs at the oncologists’s office have worked with my Dr long enough that there is n...

[quote]She also has a one hour special coming on tonight about Ozempic type drugs. I'm sure that's not a coincidence.[/quote]
It was an hour-long pharmaceutical commercial and she advocates giving these meds to kids. ...
re: Friends son just passed away in a car accident
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 3/18/24 at 7:00 pm
My husband passed away in January. I’m not drawing any comparison between being widowed and losing a child, but there were things that people did that I never would have thought of. Grief groceries-several friends sent groceries to us. Tons of Kleenex, rotisserie chickens, dog treats and kid-frien...

Single cup Keurig, toaster, can opener and air fryer. I looked at Nespresso machines, but don’t want to spend money on the capsules. I use a stovetop moka pot for espresso.

If you haven’t already found tickets for tonight’s game and are ok with posting your email address, I can transfer mine. Top row, LF bleachers. I have a parking pass, too. It’s at LA house across Gourier from The Box....
re: Any line item in your budget that you don't ever think twice about?
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 3/9/24 at 11:34 am
I do try to buy what’s on sale, but I still overspend on groceries. A lot of it has to do with where I shop; independent stores are more convenient but their prices on non-sale items are pretty high.
I’m about 3 weeks in with following a budget and am doing well. The main objective for me is to ...

re: What’s the point of wearing Harley Davidson branded clothes if you’re not on a motorcycle?

[quote]a very large group riders[/quote]
We avoided this, and that’s probably the distinction between enthusiast and biker. We were members of HOG, but didn’t participate in their rides. We rode with a few close friends whose skills we knew and that didn’t drink before riding. All of our cloth...
re: What’s the point of wearing Harley Davidson branded clothes if you’re not on a motorcycle?
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 3/4/24 at 6:04 pm
We’re motorcycle enthusiasts-not bikers-and many of our Harley shirts were purchased on bike trips. They’re comfortable and they last a long time. I don’t know how many yuppies are interested. I think the majority of Harley owners are Boomers....

I won’t hesitate if I think it’s needed. Right now I feel like I’m handling it pretty healthily. Excellent support system through his illness and after his death. I started going to a Grief Share group, but I felt like I was already intuitively doing what’s righ...

A couple that has the seats next to ours at Alex Box travel with a group based out of Texas. Sounds like they have a great time and the group includes singles and couples. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve been a widow for a little over a month; we were together for 42 years. I think it will be a ...

re: Thank you for your service.
Posted by Tiger in the Sticks on 2/10/24 at 9:26 am
It matters. When my husband was very weak and wheelchair-bound during the “bottom-out” days of chemo, I intentionally brought his Seabee Vet shirt for him to wear for labs, Dr appts etc. I did that because invariably, someone would thank him for his service & you could tell it lifted his spirits....
