Most of the day was OT so I'm not complaining to much..
I have to wonder about the dispatcher. I ran a different area today with a 28ft pup trailer. He sends me a pick up for a place we go to everyday almost. They ship oversized heavy pallets. They put in the notes they needed 32ft of floor. The trailer number is on his screen if he bothered to look and the number will tell him if I have a 28, 48 or 53 foot. I gave it 5 min then called to tell him I couldn't do it and why. 
And thinking about where I'm going to get new hearing aids makes my head hurt.....
Why is that? Bad location? Too far? I hope it goes well for you.
I am so dang old school.
I’ve been borrowing movies on dvds from the library now that I cancelled most of my streaming services.
How hard is it to hold them by the edges, place in your player, then hold them by the edges and place them back in the case?
Seriously. It’s not your property. You are borrowing it!
Way too many of them are scratched up and have icky messes on them. SMH.
Some old school values should have been preserved. And don’t even get me started on the poolside loud talkers in the middle of the night. Quiet hours start at 9 pm. No one seems to care about being considerate or conscientious anymore.
I’m in a cranky old broad mood I guess.

It's a matter of deciding where to go. Not pleased with the place I got my first ones even though they are claimed to be highly rated. Doesn't matter what you spend if they aren't set right. I found some videos on you tube with some good imfo on getting HAs. Like a "real ear measurement test" that should be done to insure the settings match your hearing loose. I willing to spend more this time around ($4000) so it'd be nice if I can find someone that will work with me to find the right ones for what I need and with in my price range. And that's going to be 50/50 no matter where I go. So do I go with Costco to spent less and hope for the best? Try another audiologists or try one of the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Centers. You can see why it makes my head hurt.

I have an old Toshiba laptop, I am going to try a couple of these ideas. It should kind of fun. I will start with Ubuntu. The machine is old so, if I screw it up, no harm.

and this is why you dont rent "certain" types of movies .... just EEEWwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
looks like im in trouble again due to brain mush... the wifey had surgery on monday for her knee and I totally forgot I had jury duty on tuesday ( which I spent tending to her the whole day).... so Wendsday I look at the fridge and see the notice and was good ( this is when the brain mush was at full power), I have 1 more day ( thinking it was on thursday) then it hit me... jury duty was on tuesday not thursday and here it is wendsday evening... 
now I have to gather up all her medical papers and go to the court and show them why I missed jury duty.... probably have a summons on me now.... and to top it off.... Code came by and stuck an "Abandoned Vehicle" sticker on the wifeys car ( the one she wrecked last month) and they want to haul it off on their own accord... now I have to go to Kenner court and prove to them its not abandoned and repairs are going to be made in due time... but get this, they are going to tell me how much time I have to get it fixed in.... so, I got a car cover and covered it to make it just as "appealing" visually as the vehicles next door ( he has a PU truck which he never drives covered up) but yet he doesnt get a sticker... gofigger...

lucked out... just got off the phone with the jury duty people... they didnt need me for that day... so everything in that arena is good
You can always try a direct install if the Toshiba will boot from a USB stick , otherwise you'll need a pack of blank DVD's to do that . You'll only be able to use 50% of it's cpu and memory in Virtual Box , It will be very slow doing it that way on an old laptop . I would suggest Xubuntu , Ubuntu with the XFCE desktop . It's easier on older systems but still has everything you need .

David, good luck with getting new hearing aids, that does sound like a pain in the rear alright.
LA, I quit Netflix. I couldn't afford it anymore, and besides they know they are steering it in a direction that they see fit, but I don't agree with. Some of their content is good, granted. Some of it I just cannot agree with. I hate that I will miss some regular shows, but I will have to deal with it. I do have a lot of dvds here from movies I bought before I got satellite. We watched tv with rabbit ears and watched dvds before satellite. Then I dropped the satellite because they kept increasing the price, beyond reasonable in my opinion. Then I went to Netflix.
Now I don't even have that. I have a vast assortment of books I can read here, or read again in some cases. I do keep up with the news, but I don't like the fact it seems a lot of real journalism has died. I find some alternate news to be preferable, but I listen to most all of it. I do get sick of seeing what some young folks are doing, such as wanting to hand over their rights on a silver platter. I find that infuriating to say the least. I don't do most social media, because I don't like it and don't understand the need for it. So yes, I guess you can put me in the old fogey box too. That is okay, I'd rather be there than in the ignorance is bliss box. The propaganda is nauseating. They keep trying to nudge us, but I'm not budging.

Ya know... I just knew *someone* would go there. Oh, my! Okay, well, I’m borrowing sci-fi titles. Just for the record.
Totally agree on all counts! I’m also borrowing ebooks from the library. These days I read way more than watching anything. Social media has been weaponized - filled with propaganda and social engineering. Studies keep flowing in about how unhappy it makes people to be on it. I don’t get it.

Medical facilities can be assembly line instead of true personal care. Very frustrating! You can try looking through Yelp reviews. Still not 100% because reviews can be faked. And people’s opinions might not be the same as yours would be. My head would hurt too!
Oh yeah! I experienced this with my colonoscopy a few years back. Hop on the conveyor belt and enjoy the ride.
