In USA they have ones now that do not require pricking your finger. And they are not expensive, but not available here yet.

From what I have seen and studied, the idea of picking it up yourself is not in the realm of reality. Many get amazingly adept at even fooling their Drs. as well as themselves. And then what? Maybe I would change but I am just not suicidal...

I feel the same way - dealing with health issues for my wife and myself is surely enough

Yeah? And how would you do that? My father had dementia for 10 years and never knew it. My mom too.. But both would have said earlier in life - Just tale me out back and shoot me - but you can't really do that.

I think I got a debit card but also as a longtime customer, I had no problem.

Back to knocking Americans again? And if my thought-dreams could be seen They’d probably put my head in a guillotine But it’s alright, Ma, it’s life, and life only... VS your favorite lyrics... Play your didgeridoo, Blue Play your didgeridoo Ah, like, keep playin' 'til I shoot through, Blue Play your didgeridoo

not that there's anything wrong with it

hero for a week

he was the only president I would have liked to have as a neighbor

Peinting money - the more money in circulation, the less valuable it is...

what time is it?

Thanks all - - it did turn more mucusy and seems to be on the wane...

Just doesn't seem to go away.. just started an antihistamine - - must be a nasal drip -- maybe a good thick cough medicine will help? I also have developed a low grade fever the last couple of days... my wife is going to make some chicken soup... any ideas?

Where would people go bowling?

unrelated: The waiter walks up to the table of little Jewish ladies and says - 'So - Was anything ok?'

knees and hips wear out... I walk some but do not push past the pain - some days it hurts, others not... I do walk in a pool, when the ice melts.

sure.

Yes, agreed - Prices are going higher and it must be tough to maintain a reasonable price with the same quality as before. And this from the "let's make a restaurant club" guy... I have always been wary here ordering an expensive cut of meat afraid I would be disappointed. I was really in the mood for lamb one day and ordered a 500 baht plate that I could not cut or chew... and the portions were small...

In the next world you go to, maybe everyplace else will be more similar - Mars and the moon don't seem to have much diversity.

Thankfully this sort of thing never happens to hetero couples

A bit too cold for full on naked?

I was first here in the early 70s and it was mostly young backpackers out and around and not that many. They were here to visit/explore another and very different culture. Some were a bit scruffy in a poor hippie style but they were smart and respectful guests... It seems word has gotten out in the Arizona Swap Meets that you can live here very much on the cheap and that is often what is attracted. I see the scruffy ones out and about - even bragging how cheap they live while stealing my sandals outside a store... I don't think they can afford to live at home and coming here is an answer to homelessness and probably a good one for them too.

I have an accountant who could easily take care of their questions and have a Vice President at the bank who could also easily verify... both easily contacted via email... I've never worried taxes - the more I need to pay, it means that I made more.

And how would that be a problem? Everything I have and my tax returns are easily available....

Wow - thank you so much.... my ex wife had a very sweet cockateel and he was very smart but also a pain in the butt...
