Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Five

[Kenna]

Shoulda just told her to please hold it down and if that didn't work to shut the hell up. Never forget that in reality they work for you. It's either you or your insurance, be it private or medicare, that pays them.

They work for my Dr. I have to call today & give the office manager the dosages of my otc meds I take. I'll talk to her about it then. I did mention it to the the RN that is going to be there all the timen I told him that her loud chit chat & trying to drag all of us into a big conversation was not good when we all have steroid brain h just want to chill & get through it.

I am liking the infusion of music, miles apart David Allan Coe and prince. Eclectic taste in genre?

We love our music! And our DJ's!

Got the link on FB yesterday & did it. Thanks for linking Sandra!

It's mostly a matter of temperature. When I'm cold, heavy covers feel cozy. When I'm not cold, I tend to easily feel stuffy and suffocating. And, the feet and legs are the first thing to make me feel overheated.

But, tucking in the sheets at the foot of the bed? Absolutely not! Can't stand for my feet not to have space!

I can't sleep with loose sheets. Mine get tucked in all around & undone just enough for me to get in & out! I hated being in the hospital & rehab. Nothing gets tucked. What ever happened to hospital corners?

They still exist - on MY side of the bed! Wife likes to be foot-loose

A very kind and generous person, making it possible. And the help from everyone. I was really feeling unsafe with my vaporfi gear. So, I'll need to buy some backups, but I'll buy them here, once I've got the adjusting part figured out. Might splurge on some better liquid to celebrate.
I'm glad I found the porches, it was the right people at the right time being put in my path.
Going to the lung specialist next week, I've known I damaged my lungs, but time to get a clearer picture of where I am a bit more specifically has come. Winter with its bugs and flues is almost here. Tons to do, hope they guessed the right flu strains this year for the vaccine .

Vaping might do a lot to help fend off those nasty bugs. I haven't had a cold or flue or a bad problem with allergies since I started vaping. It used to be a yearly event. I've heard the same from many people, including asthma sufferers.

Some strange questions in this survey ... like "how many cigarettes have you smoked in your lifetime?" ... and I could only select a max of 5 cartons ... I did more than that in a month when I was smoking.

I put the # of cigarettes.

I take all my nightime meds make me sleepyn so i took them about mightnight along with 2 benedryl & fell asleep about 2am. Woke up @ 9. So that was some good sleep. Have some simple errands today & to be ready to leave tomorrow to pet sit. Puppies & poolside lounging. Oh, & a well stocked wine fridge! Whoop!

Um...could that be called a working vaca ?

I'm tall and have big feet. Tucked in sheets at the foot of the bed are out of the question. I want the sheet and blanket to roll with me, so tucked in on the side is no good either.

Yeah, I went and figured out the number but then couldn't enter anything close to it because it was multiple choice. I should have added the info in one of the places where freelancing was permitted, but I forgot to.

I put the # of cigarettes.

I don't think I had that option when I was doing the survey. It wouldn't let me enter 830000.

Yes Ma'am! That's one reason I do it. A change of scenery!
And no work to it. No cooking, other than for myself & Marie Callendat handles thay for me, no cleaning, nothing. Just loving on their pets, making sure they go out to potty, feeding them, giving them meds, enjoying any outdoor space they have, & the rest is my usual tv & internet. Peace & quiet. Depending on where it is, I can go browse the storesn grab so take out, take a ride & enjoy the scenery.

I think there were different versions of this survey sent out. The number of cigarettes I'd smoked in my lifetime didn't have a way to enter letters or select options I had to enter a specific #. Mine was 350,000.

We have it in the grocery & convenience stores.

PA is just now experimenting with allowing just a few grocery stores to carry beer and wine...
there are times I really miss Nevada....

So happy to see you posting on the back porch again......it's been too long....

My county doesn't allow liquor stores, but beer & wine & things like Hard lemonade are allowed in bars, grocery stores. & convenience stores. No hard liquor. 5 miles away in different directions are 2 counties that allow liquor, so no further to get it than most places.

I am happy for you! And hope that you get many more " jobs"..like that!

Going to the lung specialist next week, I've known I damaged my lungs, but time to get a clearer picture of where I am a bit more specifically has come.

'Bout ten years ago, an x-ray revealed my first signs of emphysema. After four years of vaping and another x-ray, the report came back 'lungs normal for age'!

At least you'll get a 'baseline' for later comparisons!

Done, thanks for the link.

After trying many positions, getting a rolling laptop cart, sitting on various height pillows, realizing that this dang laptop is way too heavy for me and the keyboard is way too far back cuz the whole dang thing is just too big, I've come to the conclusion that bigger is not necessarily better.

So now I'm on the hunt for a smaller laptop

This time I'm gonna physically check them out to make sure that they're not too heavy to cart around easily!

I do it for my sister & several friends. I have 2 more so far. One at the end of May for a week, & one at the end of June, a week each. There is one couplw that calls me for their weekend trips. They like the pups being home & someone in the home when they are gone for long. When I leave I try to make sure I leave no sign I was ever there, so they can come home & feel home & not that feeling that someone hss been in their house.
