  2. One week yesterday I had a massive heart attack but within a hour I had stent placed to clear a 100% blockage,

    Feeling super today each day better but now I do qualify as a pill popper

    I have changed my diet no more KFC or Taco Bell & will be taking it a lot easier from now on.

    I suppose I made up for not seeing a doctor since the 80s.

  3. We have Black widows & the Brown Recluse so you have to be careful where you stick your hands especially dark places or in the garden under rocks or wood.

    Got bit by a BW my fault nearly lost my hand but the Recluse bite is supposed to be a lot more potent.

    The male to the widow dosn't look anything like the female small & brown don't think they bite.

    WE get Praying Mantis some are very large I call them aliens didn't think they bit but they do as I found out ,No poison just a bite.

    This year there has been many sightings of animals/reptiles from the mountain range coming down looking for water.

  4. Last weekend was hooking up the hosepipe I noticed a leg sticking out poked it a bit & out came a Black Widow .Pic on Facebook.

    The only spider that scared the crap out of me was a Wolf Spider. I used to have one of those giant satellite dishes & the picture kept scrambling so I stuck my fingers down the feedhorn & it ran up my arm ,Was the size of a cricket ball

    Got bit by a Praying Mantis didn't know they bit..

  5. Got me a new Office chair the old one had lost a wheel & all the others were only half their & had about 2 rolls of Duct tape holding the upholstery together.,I had bought it in 1980 you know how you get used to something it wasa perfect fit

    So the new one has already dumped me one the floor twice.

    I rise sit back down & its took off got to find someway of slowing them wheels down.

    Ps Super glue was invented for closing wounds in the Vietnam war, Whatever you do don't try it like I did, Worse case of Septic ever.

  6. When I started my business it was all hand written invoices & by the end of the month it was 3 days solid to write the statements .

    Being that I hate paperwork it was like pulling teeth

    I now just click Statements/print on my quickbooks & 1 min later I have a bunch of pieces of paper that still need putting in a envelope.

  7. I still blush when I think of this

    Was working a Attenboroughs on George St& one of my jobs was to seal the Ovens with asbestos so the fumes wouldn't escape into the room

    The ovens were in the brush room and the workers were 99% women & girls

    Now me being a only child &15 at the time I was quite nieve so there I was standing on a chair sealing the top of the oven door when this slag of a woman grabbed my privates & announced to the room that I was quite well endowed.

    I had a red face every day everytime I had to go in that room.

  8. 50 years ago I knew my way around no problem now If you said go to Long Eaton or Gunthorpe bridge I would be clueless on how to get there from Nuthall where I used to live.

    But last time over jumped in the car & found my way everywhere I wanted to go just point me in the direction & it came back to me.

    Did manage to drive down the wrong side of the road though just once

  10. Got myself popped a few months ago 83mph in a 55 actually it was a bit more that that but the cop said he would give me a break

    If you don't go to court $1100 + points

    If you do & Qualify for traffic school $240 + traffic school total $320 this means you don't get any points on your license

    You sign up for the school & pay but I have never been bothered to take the class ........ 3 TIMES I have done this they don't even bother to check you did. So I guess it all about the money.

  11. Ok here how it goes

    Insurance for 2 people approx $1000 - $1800 per month with anywhere from $3000 to $12000 deductible per year.

    Co pay when you do go to the doctor used to be $30 but now about $80 every time you visit.

    Then when you get your bill the insurance then informs you that they will pay a percentage

    $50,000 for the room per day , Insurance will pay $700 per day you are left with the rest.

    You are actually paying for the people that don't have insurance that cant be turned down for treatment like immigrants & people that don't work.

    I was pulled out of the emergency room to make way for a prisoner with 6 prison guards in attendance for about 6 hrs that carried my stay into the next day turns out he had been sniffing some cleaning solvent I only had a broken hand.

    I am now on Medicare $100.00 per month & wifey will be next year at 65 but until then her insurance is $784.00 per month with $ 5000 deductable

    Medicare is what is taken out of your paycheck every week just like Nhi.

    Then you pay a extra insurance to cover everything that medicare don't cover $75.00

    Don't believe me go to WWW.healthcare.gov

  12. What ever you chose it helps to be handy seems like you always have something to hook up or DUMP !

    Then when you get back home there is always something to fix,clean or empty.

    Generator is also nice so if you get a site with no hookup you can still run your stuff like A/c. A nice quiet one also helps.
