I will say this publicly with the caveat that present company is excepted, but I have had to deal with men who cannot keep up with me intellectually all my life. I will treat them with respect until they start pulling the nonsense that some of them do when they also realize that they cannot keep up with me intellectually and their reaction is to try to bring me down. After that, I will endeavor, outwardly, to continue to treat them with respect, but inwardly, I ain't got time for them or their opinions which I dismiss out of hand.
It has taken me most of my life to give up feeling guilty about the fact that there are men who cannot keep up with me intellectually. I did not marry one of those. None of my sons are in that category either. Thank goodness.
My thoughts on this: I married an exceptionally strong and accomplished woman and we are raisong our daughter to be one as well. Maybe it is working in medicine, which skews female, but I have no tolerance for the masculinity crap. If you need that, go be a longshoreman or lumberjack.Quote:

I haven't figured out all the various levels in the events but the training of the athletes and their support staff is amazing.
I am in Williamsburg, VA right now, staying in an Airbnb that doesn't have the tv channel that is showing la Vuelta. :( That's the only downside. Moved T-Bone into his dorm room today, mostly. He decided to spend one more night with us at the Airbnb, mostly so we could get in a family round of miniature golf. We are cut-throat when it comes to miniature golf around here. We played Pirate's Cove. We took no prisoners. (I did not have a good night. I intend to exact my revenge tomorrow.)Quote:

Pretty much back to normal. I should say that my case of shingles struck me as mild from a pain perspective. The bigger concern was that it was on my face. Getting it diagnosed was the bigger issue I ran into. Urgent care was no help, the ER diagnosed in a couple minutes of seeing me.
I need to get my Shingrix. Not looking forward to it. My mom had a mild case, after getting the original vaccine. She recognized the symptoms and went that day to Urgent Care, where her diagnosis was confirmed. Was put on antivirals right away. That combined with the vaccine contributed to a very mild case. But it was close to her eye, which was scary. She needs to get her Shingrix now, too.Quote:

The point being, if one suspects Shingles, get looked at quickly, very quickly.Quote:

After that, we will put you on an anti-viral IV drip and then send you home." 4 hours later I was home. I could feel the drugs working as I was hooked up to the IV. With respect to the current situation that we find ourselves in, as noted by the plague thread, I now believe a more minimal level of standard of care provided to all would greatly assist us a country. I would not have said that 5 years ago. I'm all for the insurance approach, being in insurance myself(Property/Casualty), but now believe that is not sufficient unto itself. One of the things you don't realize, growing up as an Army/military brat, is that not everyone has access to dentists and doctors that you go see on regular schedules.Quote:
