That was one of the few statements I did understand. It just seems like an awful lot of expense to set your thermostat or turn on or off a light.

Started going through bills last night. Noticed at one cooperative I do business I had a nice patronage dividend sitting there (nice only for my wife because only way I get it is dying ). Realized that I will need To make a list of these in case something does happen. Several with a grand or so built up and wife would have no idea that I do any business with them, some aren't thought of as co-ops Know I'm getting old when this stuff concerns me.
damdamdamdamdam...
We just get comfortable with the diagnoses PapaLew had (monitor the CLL, anti-fungal for the histoplasmosis, and remove kidney stone...stent came out last Friday...yay!). Now my sister tells me that my BIL has a PSA of 7, which sucks even more when you know that prostate cancer is what took his dad. OTOH, my 92 year old dad had it about 20 years ago. Hoping BIL's elevated PSA is BPH or some other benign root cause.
Sometimes I wish I was still 20 years old and bulletproof.
Then I come to my senses...

Soon after my MIL died of cancer, my FIL had a high PSA level. It turned out to be benign. Most of it was the fact that he was 70 years old and your normal PSA level is significantly higher at that age. The rest was contributable to another small issue (Do kidney stones cause it? Maybe he had a mild UT infection). Hopefully that is the case.
Yeah - that's what I'm holding out for. 7 is elevated, but not astronomical. Extra caution is being shown because of family medical history; per Sis they are probably going to biopsy.
Great. Heading to doctor and pretty sure I am ded. Listed my symptoms on a piece of paper and decided it was easier to list non-symptoms. List was short, no broken bones and not openly bleeding anywhere.

Leprosy? That wouldn't be so bad. I think they still send you to one of the quieter Hawaiian Islands. Maybe Pants would know more.
Good luck, feel better, don't get pulled over and gunned down by trigger happy TC cops.
Aside from the ER issue.....
Z had two other girls in her class. Both probably 5-6. One of them has done dance for 2 years already. The teacher did a great job of getting Z back on focus vs running around.
Weird part, the lobby is where I was supposed to wait. So I had to sneak to the door periodically to get pictures. She didn't want to leave when class was done. Had lots of fun otherwise. Lots of laughing.
This may have been the best way to get her to drink more water too. She drank half a small bottle after getting home.

So which one of you Twin Cities people who profess to be a man is actually a woman driving a Prius? I saw you with your "CRGILUV" plates on I-94 this morning.
One thing about BDK, He takes a lot of abuse and still comes back. You have to give him credit for his resiliency.
Anyone looking to adopt a 5th grader? My daughter wants to know.
She's apparently not too happy about going to a three hour/day soccer camp all week when the heat index is over 100. I told her it was nearly that hot under the pop-up awning where I was watching from, but she wasn't having it. Maybe the cooling towel and cooler full of ice-cold water next to me was swaying her opinion.

Oh, and @GTO, kids are CBs only if you let them be. Honestly, they're probably gonna need therapy anyway. You may as well give them some material for them to talk to about.
Did you ask her if she wanted to attend this camp before signing her up? If so and she said yes, then tell her from me that commitment is what makes you a player.
My daughter when she started playing soccer was far, far from the best player on the team. Due to being at every practice, every game, every winter training session and doing camps even when she wants to sleep in that day she has improved to where she was the best player on the team this year even though she is playing up. That's not homerism since I rated her second but the other two coaches disagreed with me.
