Yep... in Feb. when they stood firm on DEI policies, they pay their people well, relatives had always loved them ... so even though I'm about 45 miles from the nearest one, I got a card. I've ordered online a few times partly due to distance and partly because some things are only available online.

Hey, that's cool all the way around, and I do hope that meant that you won the fight with cancer as well. (I'm a cancer survivor myself, but I'd hope you kicked its ass regardless).

Very sorry to hear that. You probably know that it is frequently not anywhere near that quick. I had two aunts that had Alzheimer's and they both lived for several years.

Wow. I only read part of that, but thanks for the link. I was a nursing home nurse for five years, but I had never heard of that drug, but I found out that it is a pretty new drug. However, the actions explained with the drug don't seem to be much better than the ones I was giving a few years back.

It can be really cold but I can put on enough clothes to be comfortable outside doing something. If it's 105 there is literally nothing I can do to make it comfortable doing something outside.

Yes. I should be living somewhere cooler. I love going to tropical places, but I'd rather live somewhere with seasons. The way I put the cold versus hot argument to a relative who grew up where it rarely got cold, and who hates cold, is this -
