Reassuring to know they have to "treat first, bill later". (I don't know anything about medicine in China; I guess someone planning to visit as a tourist would hope not to have an emergency there.) I hope you can at least get back to a sedate foxtrot or waltz, if not all the dances. I don't do...

It certainly baffles us Canadians. But, not my country, not my business. Happy you were able to afford the care and hope it was 100% successful.

I was thinking more of people just jumping in off the side of the pool sort of front-first, like a water-loving dog would dive in, but now that I picture it I guess that sort of place wouldn't be aimed at serious water sports, just splashing around. Although I can see a phone flying up and...

Excellent game you played today! MOURN

I borrowed some olive oil (which I don't use in cooking) from a neighbour and have started working with that. I was able to remove the slightly loosened one on the finger I used most often for opening things and have hopes of getting more off tomorrow. That finger can now breathe, and I gave the...

Amen to the genetics blessing+curse. Now....about a week ago I bought a set of glueless press-on nails (Kiss brand) and thought I'd give them a quick try since they were supposedly short and small and I have small hands (hands and matching small feet inherited from a grandmother and one of...

Our methods are hopelessly archaic CRYPT

And there will still be disagreement. In figure skating, Skater A can perform flawlessly, get a standing ovation, the judges will for once all agree and give top marks, and Skater B's fans will STILL foam at the mouth and call for an investigation into "fixed judging" because their favourite...

But those are titles that I avoid looking at on FB! They always turn out to be ads. Or at the very least, they say "Wait for..." and then I get to the end and still haven't seen anything much happen. So now I don't watch at all. I've been finding the series hilarious. So different from my own...

I can see the sense in that. I suppose I'll have to get into that eventually, but so far it's not a problem. On my floor of my condo building, there are six apartments. It's not strictly a seniors residence but it is adults only and the occupants on my floor range in age from about 50 to 80...

Some years back my pairs skating partner and I had our Worst Practice Ever just a week before the national championships. Stumbled around on the ice clutching at each other like toddlers at a Baby Blades first lesson. Our coach was standing off the ice with her face down on the boards, moaning...

I can see that when there's no choice for communication. We have landlines, and where I live in a Canadian city there are still pay phones around when I'm away from home, although I understand they've gone extinct in the US. My daughter lives near a city, Inverness, it's just something about the...

My mind is about as boggled as I've ever known it to be. Do you mean people actually take their phones into the swimming pool with them? I mean..........seriously?! Please tell me it's because there are no safe lockers there to stow valuables? That I could understand, sort of. Although I'd...

The restrictions are indeed nuisances QUIET

["Aforementioned" is also used by librarians who work in government or business libraries intended for grown-ups and not carrying Dr Seuss and authors of that ilk on their shelves.]

I only see four, but I can't fit both pictures on my screen at the same time and have to flip up and down to compare. I can only get the obvious ones.
