| No, not these kind of ticks |
When I used to have the newspaper
delivered at home, it would be late occasionally. To my surprise this happens
with electronic delivery too. I received an email notifying me that the
electronic version was ready to read at 12:35 p.m. when I usually get that
email at about 6 a.m. Even though the email came late though, the electronic
paper was already available at 5 a.m. I was just surprised at how late the
email notification came.
Southern California Edison gave me
an Amazon gift card for participating in a remote monitoring system for
electricity use. What was required was to remain in the program for 3 months.
Just as I was about to contact them about it when the 3 month period passed,
the gift card came in the mail. It was only for $10 but hey, I’ll take a free
10 bucks any day. So what did I use it for? I’ve always had this tick problem
at home and I needed something with no ticks so I could sleep better. So I bought
a quiet sweep clock with the Amazon gift card. Now I have a clock that’s quiet
and doesn’t tick. Ha! I bet you thought I had bugs in my house!
As part of our admission process in
the hospital, we inventory the belongings of patients when they come in. This
includes clothing, money, credit cards, and other paraphernalia. Not seeing him
wearing a watch, ring, necklace or bracelet, I asked a male patient if he was
wearing any jewelry or piercings underneath his clothes. He mentioned that he
had a ring in his private area but he was not going to show it to me. I said
“It’s okay, I’ll take your word for it”. I didn’t even use the metal detector
wand that we have for fear that the magnet would make the ring rise. Does that
count as a jewel in his family jewels?
I finally had the broken front
axles on my car replaced at a greater than expected reduced cost by going to my
neighborhood mechanic which was recommended by my neighborhood smog check
station. Thank goodness because other mechanics were quoting me hundreds more.
The wobble in my brakes have even subsided significantly after the axle
replacement. I asked if they also do ankle replacements. They don’t, so I’ll
have to wobble on mine for the rest of my life.
Would you believe that since I
turned 55 a few weeks ago I started looking at what Leisure World and Laguna
Woods have to offer? Just in case you don’t know, those are retirement
communities near Long Beach for people over 55.
