I’m now wearing a thin fabric mask over the KN95 ones after also being vaccinated. I’ll take a cold any day of the year if it means ditching the mask. I’m ready to completely undress my face. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it is whatever you are most comfortable wearing for your own safety. But we ditched the N95 masks after about 3 months (a little dizzy at the grocery store) and went to cloth with a PM95 filter insert way back when. After June15, we will be mostly mask free. The Bay Area is about 73% vaccinated, plus all the recovered folks. Edited May 29, 2021 by Coralc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to a Mexican restaurant yesterday with someone singing in both Spanish and English then went to a pub really close to our house that also had live music. Tonight it’s itilian in a restaurant we have been going for about 30 years have been there way over a thousand times and hopefully we will be sailing on the millennium in exactly 6 weeks. Is there a Mexican place still around called Huertas? Probably spelled wrong. It was definitely a hole in the wall, but people would stand outside in line for over an hour. It was that good and they only had a few tables inside. A very small place. I don’t remember exactly where it was in Dallas, but IIRC it was across from what we called the crazy hospital. 😀 They opened up another one and people said it was never as good as the original. A group of friends and I would go at least twice a month if not more. This was about 37 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prognosis not good. He is such a sweet dog What a cutie. Sorry to hear this, it’s always so hard when they get sick and pass on. When our last cat passed we found out that some vets will come to your house to put them to sleep. I think it was so much more less stressful for Keiki. She was in the comfort of her home. 🐈 💕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black and tan one I named Tenzing. She absolutely loved Diana, the other cat in the picture. They were always together. Then one day in August I found her dead. No idea of the cause. Congenital heart failure? She was a happy healthy young cat. I was devastated. I only had her for three months! I wanted to shower with love and care for years and years... Even in a short time our four pawed friends can make a heartfelt connection with us. Sorry to hear this. It’s not any easier when having a pet for a short time.

We ended up with 16 offers and narrowed down to 4. All 4 wanted the house badly and kept upping their offer. Full appraisal gap coverage by the buyer and inspection is for info only (we don’t have to fix anything found by the inspection). Worked out very well for us. Closing on June 25. Congrats on the house. I’m still trying to catch up on the 22 pages I’m behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She left at noon for the cottage and got there safe and sound. We went from 90s days ago to just above freezing here. There is steam coming off the pool cover. Don’t think it’s showing in the photo. Mom said she saw snow on the ground along the drive. That's great news your mam no longer needs to wear glasses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She might need to wear drug store glasses to read the small labels on the back of a pill bottle but that’s it. They will let her know in 3 months when she has her last appointment if anything has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted May 29, 2021 #17640 Share Posted May 29, 2021 We had a hankering for seafood last night. When you're in the suburbs of Cincinnati, that pretty much means Bonefish Grill. I should have known that it wasn't going to be good when I saw that Butterfish was the special. 😱 I ordered the Ahi Tuna seared. Way overcooked with much of it looking like what you'd get in a can of tuna fish. At least the bacon mac n cheese was good. Micheline order a crusted cod and it was even more overcooked than my tuna. Can't wait to get back to real seafood. My plate after one bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the inspection on Wednesday with no major issues. We were not responsible for fixing any issues found in the inspection (part of the offer) but it felt good anyway that there was nothing significant. One more step behind us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all assuming that all the vaccines are effective...but you know for sure it is in your system when you have the side effects. This is all so new, the Covid itself, the vaccine, the side effects, how long it will last (will we need a booster). Simply not common like the flu and the flu shots we have been getting annually for years. The clinic she owns has been selected to do continuing studies on volunteers that have had the virus, side effects, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
